@phataku @MrReaganUSA By 1 standard deviation. That’s significant. Ray Dalio mentions that he’s seen people in Bridgewater increase by that much. It’s amazing. But people put limits on themselves. If they believe it can only be raised marginally, they’re absolutely right: about themselves

IQ tests consistently show Africans have extremely low average IQs. This is some of the most contentious data in all of science, always called "racist". So this African guy in Nigeria conducted a test himself! His results - Average IQ: 73.4 Median IQ: 69.7

Russian math is on another level. In a rural classroom, barefoot peasant children were solving—mentally—problems that would slow down today’s MIT PhDs and quant researchers.

@KevinSzabo14 One of the big names here did a clever trick, saying something like, “this is a test to sort out all the AI. Everyone who comments on this thread will be blocked.”

@PepcMax1969 @JesseSm26211261 @MrReaganUSA It’s absolutely like building a muscle. From first principles, IQ is formed from average synaptic connections, connections between brain regions. It can be improved.

@Yuchenj_UW I had a similar thought just today. There are a lot of places (restaurants, etc) that open late in the morning. Places are closed on Mon or Tue. They close early. It’s completely flipped from NY

Guys, SF is a magical city. Today, a beautiful Wednesday, I had a 4:30pm meeting with a friend at a café… it was closed. We walked 10 blocks, every café was closed. Finally found Blue Bottle, it closed at 5:30. Can some YC company please build what SF people actually want?

@AlpacaAurelius Have you asked them their reasoning, and did you empathize? I could live anywhere in the world, and I chose SF.

Trump has killed America. It was already dying but the chimp has put the cushion over its face. Fed Chair Jerome Powell gives the bad news: "There is effectively ZERO NET JOB CREATION in the private sector."

@Do_One_More @tailopez The US seems to be of that mindset, whereas China is just winning by improving themselves

@tailopez That’s a loser’s mindset. If your success depends on someone else failing, you aren’t playing the game—you’re just terrified of competition. Focus on your own growth.

@ptaranat @yacineMTB Yep, you can continue to stack the Pareto on itself. 4% (.2*.2) make up 64% (.8*.8).

that’s bc pareto principle is one instance of power law with a specific exponent. the reason power law appears in nature is bc of preferential attachment in self organized nodes. nodes with many connections attract more nodes (river tributaries, neurons). systems driven slowly slowly to critical thresholds release energy in scale free bursts (sand piles, avalanche, forest fired) i could keep on going but this is so interesting for me i did my entire undergrad research on the topic. read up on self organizing processes and dynamical systems. the thing that blew my mind was dynamical systems applied to language and cognition.

Is there a tangible intuitive statistical explanation for why the Pareto distribution turns up literally everywhere I look?

@NoahKingJr I’m betting that the UAPs will disable those weapons like they have previously. Otherwise, I won’t think too hard. If I die now or later, I’ll reincarnate.

the best thing you can do in San Francisco is literally to go and talk to everyone here most people are pretty open to chat. just go up to them and speak. say hi. show genuine interest in who they are and what they are doing the connections you'll make will be worth it
