Also this proves everyone who claims that should you replace the entire job interview process with IQ test are morons, and that Griggs is likely saving companies from themselves.
To give the IQ deniers some credit, i have tested 150 software job applicants last week with an IQ test and a coding exercise. The correlation factor between IQ and coding exercise pass rate is only 0.1. There's public studies out there with similar results. (@nntaleb would…
Estimated cost is $2.7 B – $4.6 B.

JUST IN - A mysterious intergalactic object could potentially be a “hostile” alien spacecraft that’s slated to attack our planet in November, according to a new study by scientists — NYP
What if there was some incel behind it with this an the end game all along.
Even worse than this, the images have location in the metadata. People are making maps of all the users. The lawsuit for this is gonna be insane
Many people are saying this.
It's all just White and Black people lol No one wants to hear the truth but... White and Black Americans are way more alike than different.
There are many countries without IQ test bans that still have functioning colleges; but, as I've said before, IQ fetishists are dumb.
Modern college exists because it’s basically illegal to screen for job candidate intelligence using simple IQ tests. So kids have to waste 4+ years and go into crazy debt to pay for their own indoctrination because Boomers hate IQ.
The weird thing is that with a modicum of diligence and by asking the right questions, you can absolutely use Claude Code to uncover all sorts of architectural and security issues.
If you vibe code an app like tea, and never build in auth, the claude code agent or whatever won't actually tell you you're fucking up unless you ask about the *specific* thing you're worried about fucking up. contemplate this on the tree of woe
Honestly, mutual friends have always been an overrated way of meeting people. You only have so many friends, and they only have so many friends, how many of them are the right gender, single, attracted to you, and attractive to you? Far fewer than you'd think.
do people think the only 2 options for meeting people are dating apps and cold approaching strangers? what happened to like, having mutual friends
I have a good friend who’s an ultra smart Professor. Masters in magical beast, great job, 10’2”. Maybe a touch socially awkward but a good dude. Great with kids. Legit cannot find a gf. Years of frustration on dating apps. Feel for him. These types of guys used to clean up with…
It’s likely that the baby boom occurred partly because the government, through the GI Bill, spent a substantial amount of money on policies that, whether intentionally or unintentionally, increased men’s status relative to women’s.
A hard pill to swallow for Baby Boomers, Social Conservatives, and a particular species of Girl Dad tough guys: It’s *infinitely* more important to make sure that young men are given advantages in education, financial backing, and subsequent earning power than are young women.
TikTok shoves the 95th-percentile lifestyle in everyone’s face, and we wonder why Gen Z feels poor. These violent delights... ...have violent ends.
Another example of how some things *do* cost more, but at the same time there has been a totally undiscussed increase in standards. When I was in early 20s, having "nice" apartment wasn't an expectation, much less having your own nice apartment. Wages were really low.
Live by the vibe code, die by the vibe code.
deleting original top post as a matter of scruples, wish i'd screencapped and censored originally i don't think it matters on the margin but it's important to keep to form
