With all that progress in machine learning, WHEN will be we able to upscale frame rate of old animes from effective 5-8 fps to 60 fps?
Early pre-neural network attempt (SVP) is about as effective as nil, older DAIN still leaves a lot to be desired.

Did you miss that part that a lot of Ukrainians live in Russia, and Ukrainians still can enter Russia without a visa, while Baltic sea isn't full of Ukrainians boats/subs?

What Germany could do better for Russia? Germany sends tiny amounts of weapons to Ukraine. It's US weapons & intel which is a problem for Russia.

"phenotypic null hypothesis", according to Google Ngram, does not appear before 2002 and it's usage going after 2010. It's a neologism.
And disingenious one. For testing medications, null hypothesis "it doesn't work" is useful because we have voluminous history of ineffective medications. We don't have prior history of controlled experiments on population IQ differences. It's like theists requiring atheists to prove.
Jack and Jane both collected some stones on beach. Compute average size of stone each of them collected. Must they be same, exactly to 10-digit after comma, unless proved otherwise?
Rightist inclined people want to preserve racial inequality of outcomes
As been said, it is looking at rightists under leftists theory of universe. What about "rightists don't want certain kind of government-mandated redistribution which give a net harm to society" or "rightists don't want their bikes stolen"?
Now I am going to violate rules and say that intelligence is clearly biological. It's not controversial to say that fish are smarter than jellyfish, and crocodiles are smarter than fish, and rats are smarter than crocodiles. It's only when feelings are hurt it requires some "phenotypic null hypothesis". Yes, intelligence has long causal chain, but so are many biological phenomena.

If you have subjects who are not cooperative for sugar blood tests, and eat a lot before blood sample is taken, is it a problem of blood tests?
I can think IQ tests duration is limited to 30-60 minutes so willingness to cooperate has little effect (for most individuals) even if it makes measurement of intellect per se less precise.
Note for some important things willingness to cooperate matters more than intelligence! Just there isn't a good method to measure it, and it's much more prone to change than intelligence.

The implied point is that given same IQ, poverty is advantage for math contests.
Math is low, very low status.
America-born individuals very much prefer going into positions where they can exploit value of labor by foreign-born high IQ individuals. They don't need math.

No they claim that racial purity
HBD advocates claim that if you mix two populations of same size, IQ of mix would be very close to average of these ancestral populations. Don't they? What does this have to do with racial purity?

Either they win, or they die as a nation.
Nitpick: many nations existed w/o a state (and we don't know Putin's goals) for century or two and didn't go extinct.

He claims it's worse: Employers are looking for conformity, which by definition can't be signaled by something new and innovative.
I remember I read "completed higher education means you can do boring, useless stuff for 5 years without questioning it".
... well, you can make PGS for conformity...

When USSR launched the first satellite under Chief Designer Korolev (Ukrainian), many Americans got scared. When Russia wishes to unite (in some way in another) with Ukraine to try making some another scary things this is seen as more menacing than Saudis killing Yemenis with reason rooted in faith differences.
Saudi Arabia currently is only starting to make its own firearms.
There is probably another axis on this. Russians are perceived to be whiter than Saudis and therefore higher standard is applied for them.

Uh. Do we have animated userpics already? This makes me sad... I think animations do not suit this place.
A large amount of dog owners talk in such matter, but it isn't unclear if it's plurality or majority. And I think that people who have such vulgar "dog intelligence" concept deny utility of IQ tests.
