Often Soviet Russia is contrasted with West... but... if we look at early Soviets...

Two out of Holy Trinity (Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels) were German Jews living in UK. They hated Russia so translators had to omit parts of their works

Lenin and many other revolutionaries spent much time in Switzerland, Austria etc...

Soviets instantly switched to Gregorian calendar.

Soviets promoted use of Esperanto language.

Soviets intended to switch Russian language to Latin script but as popultaion was unhappy with it the plan was scrapped and never tried again.

Certain genetic changes can occur quickly, suppose you have many inbred groups, and due to something (easier transportation, cultural bans on incest) it can change in 1 generation. Some countries are still noticeably inbred.

To add to others said, reduced pathogen load compared to 100 years ago (due to vaccines and hygiene) also probably improved IQs too.

if we accept that the IQ numbers for Africa are the result of a culturally-unbiased assessment of intelligence

The most common estimate held in HBD is that black Africans IQ would improve by 10-15 points if living standards improved to that 1st world has.

a society of actually literally retarded people, which it is not.

In what sense?

They live lives, make social bonds, love, children, you don't need high intelligence for that.

Also, that would be privileging middle aged able-bodied men... pretty unwoke.

I don't know. I apologize for bad posting. I'll stop so I don't say something bad again.

I believe that growing up in a middle-class two-parent household has a greater effect on a child's life outcomes than

Because you don't have evidence, it looks like "I believe that growing up in a middle-class two-parent household has a greater effect on a child's life outcomes than" is based on faith

Those called by far right usually don't like East Asian getting higher IQs, ditto Jews.

Weakening selection for a trait isn't same as selection for lower values of a trait (as with "too stupid to use contraception => more children"). I think SMV is still selected and I think immune system somehow influences SMV.

poor immune systems

sorry, what?

There was one poll (I can't give link now) which tells that nearly half of Russian self-identified Orthodox do not believe in God. "Orthodox Christian" is just a tribal trait for them

IE when you control for genetics the differences don't go away.

source?

FWIW, there's large environmental differences between rich countries (like yours) and poor countries, but this usually isn't talked much about.

It is a lie.

If we study fighting abilities of men vs women, controlling for upper body muscle mass, does it bake in assumption that form of genitals is more important to fighting than muscle?

It seems pre-agricultural.

I second that. I think that compassion to economic-poor and hate towards sexually-poor is because our morality lags economics and we're still think like hunter-gatherers do.

So, if a human can't do it, a machine will surely be unable to do it.

I'm fairly sure there's humans who can do it, just it takes a lot for time to learn to draw and even still it's labour-intensive.

Different elements update at different frame rates.

Yes, correct, but it seems to be a little easier task than deducing correct animating of body parts from known 4 running frames.

I heard there's Google frame rate upscaler, thought it seems it has no specific support for anime...

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.

...hm, could we use GoF to get rid of mosquitoes and other carriers of human diseases?

Makes sense. But, if so, why both China and USA complicit in hiding it?

Have you tried Tab Snooze browser extension?

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.

The retaliation for Crimean Bridge attack was pretty significant, imo

I have issues as well, but then I also grew to hate programming.

You can use nicotine in plaster form ah I see you already have a solution.

You can print source code on paper. Some programming contests allow it (those where team of 3 has only 1 computer but can use printer).

Hire a supervisor with a whip who would oversee your work.

Has someone generated ML sets of pictures to play Dixit/Imaginaium, or something in that direction?

Btw, the meatspace game is unnecessarily long with operating cards.

I heard some people migrate between hemispheres to be in summer all the time
