  • I know I'm an idiot, but I actually still don't understand it.

    So there is no black people, that are billionaires. So that is not a problem. But he wants there to be a problem. So he just says that they act black. Which is a problem.

  • I was under the impression that trivial pursuit questions would not measure IQ.

    The other stuff about nutrition plays into differences inside of western culture, but resource scarcity changes our brains and how they work. Poverty doesn't make us stupid, it just makes us prioritize day to day, second to second. Planning ahead is a luxury.

    Which means that it is linked to e.g. corruption, education, crime?

    And why one foundation of a well functioning society is a social support system for the weakest, lowering inequality, crime, intergenerational stress, no?

  • Well I mostly agree, here is my take.

    Something interesting is that living in a radically different country, it becomes painfully obvious to most people, i reckon. Because values change as the respective IQ average and culture differs across countries and especially continents.

    Just a personal observation.

    So a person who have a slightly higher than average IQ in a developed country will quickly feel their social circles shrink significantly across continent borders. Because culture is shaped by the people live there. And values change. E.g. It is more socially acceptable to be manual labourer/violent/chauvinistic some places than others. Many other factors play in, and many highly intelligent people are manual-labourer/violent/chauvinistic. I am just talking about a trend. It is also noticeable across generations which you will see that the younger generations usually being more developed than the older generations.

    A handyman used to be valued higher in developed societies than today. Because values have shifted

    I reckon it is mainly the quality of education and nutritional food that makes the difference.

    But my point is that most people completely underestimate the importance of those things because they have compounding effects across generations. A single mother of 5 can't produce useful citizens without a social support system.

    My other point is that everyone is a time traveller constantly traveling through a changing world. Just ask an elderly person about their youth.

    Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

    We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place.

  • But when you translate "vegetable intake" to my language Danish it will have a totally different meaning. I am assuming that it means eating plant matter as you mention. I am wondering if it is a similar challenge in other languages. Because "grøntsag" will not be leaves of some tree in the Amazon, or tobacco, or a edible cactus.

    It will just refer to that part that kids never eat from their dinner plate.

    I guess there is a reason why it is not a very scientific language 😅

  • I always heard that biologically vegetables doesn't exist. Everything is fruit. (Except grain, flowers, the obvious)

    So what are potatoes? That just a tuberculo.

    Carrot? Just a root. Yes it's edible to humans but biologists don't really care because everything is edible to something.

    Disclaimer: not a biologist, just a dude tired of people violently interrupting me to tell me that "akschually a strawberry is a nut!!!"

  • Spanish doesn't have a word for nuts, they just say "dried fruit".

  • What if those chains handle thousands of massages per second?

    Serious backend is indeed a stretchy term. And I agree with that point b2b java is common. But our b2b backend handles multiple thousands of massages per second. I find the bottleneck to be MySQL and RabbitMQ.

    I think it makes sense for a serious backend to have load balancing and nginx cache and horizontal scaling. I reckon QPS doesn't matter as much as you think it does.

    I still don't think that java would be considered niche. I rather think that C or C++ would be considered niche. It takes longer to develop, and is not memory safe so I don't think that most backend systems should consider it.

  • Most developers are not going to create the next kubernetes. For me it is usually down to earth integrations. Take this file from s3, send as email and sftp here. Create API to proxy another API. Take messages from Kafka, put on rabbitMQ. Save messages from rabbitMQ to database.

    I think Java is very strong with libraries. Especially with Spring Boot and camel. I don't really see it as niche but more of a plain boring peanut butter sandwich. Boring. Unexciting. But works.

    I am however trying to convince my boss to allow kotlin. Which has access to all the java libraries

  • You should rather pity them. It's like Platon's Shadow Cave, they've been fed lies, their entire lives, the few of them that actually get out of the USA will know the difference.. The sad thing is that if you try to convince the ones that have never left the country, they will die rather than admit defeat.

  • Today I said something I never thought I would say. I said "An LLM once told me…".

    Jump

  • Interesting. I have yet to utter that phrase. Though I have found it interesting and expanding my horizon discussing political topics with an LLM.

    It is still easy to see through the faulty logic and ideas that are obviously being simply parroted due to the lack of logical reasoning.

    But interesting experience indeed. I wonder what Alan Turing would give to have such an experience.
