Of course intelligence is heritable. The directional selection on human brain size over the last few million years is dramatic. The people over at the New Yorker apparently have no idea how evolution works.
Jesse Singal@jessesingal· Mar 29, 2024The New Yorker, on Jon Haidt: "He has been beset by a troubling fixation on the heritability of I.Q.—a contention widely dismissed as scientific racism"
This is completely false. The heritability of intelligence is accepted by mainstream researchers. The debate is over *race*.

Humans are weaker and slower than other mammals. If it were not for intelligence, we would have long since died out.
Intelligence has obviously been the primary evolutionary vector for humans. What is underappreciated is how much happened in the last 10k years.
There was an intelligence explosion ~6k years ago with sudden development of writing, agriculture, elementary math, etc.
All that said, our little meat computers are just the biological bootloaders for digital superintelligence.

Yesterday was Ad Revenue Friday on X, and some people like @TiffanyFong_ @WallStreetSilv @stclairashley and @rothmus saw some huge jumps.
Others still have questions as to why they aren't performing like everyone else. I try to cover it all.
How did you do yesterday?

Are medical studies being written with ChatGPT?
Well, we all know ChatGPT overuses the word "delve".
Look below at how often the word 'delve' is used in papers on PubMed (2023 was the first full year of ChatGPT).

To top things off, I’d argue that the firebombing of Tokyo — much like the later use of nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki — was wholly unnecessary as Japan was already going to surrender.
Armchair Warlord@ArmchairW· Mar 30, 2024March 9th, 1945. 279 B-29s struck Tokyo with 1600 tons of incendiary bombs with the intent of burning the city down wholesale.
Approximately 100,000 civilians on the ground were killed, more than in either subsequent atomic bomb attack.
Learn some history.

That is very much incorrect.
Even after the second atomic bomb was dropped, the Japanese government was deadlocked: half wanted Japan to perish in nuclear fire and half wanted to surrender.
It took the emperor himself to break the deadlock and, even then, there was an attempted coup to stop the surrender.
This is well-documented and not disputed.

If you reuse the truss steel that fell, it could be functioning in 3 to 6 months.
The repair should be put to commercial bid with a massive incentive for early and safe completion.
