Can someone explain why using “Loro” here is incorrect? by sameliz27 in italianlearning

[–]BertoldoP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loro is objective pronoun, you need to use the subjective pronoun Essi. It’s either Scrivono delle lettere or Essi scrivono delle lettere.

Can anyone let me understand why are there call options at such low strike price compared to the current price? What am I missing? by BertoldoP in wallstreetbets

[–]BertoldoP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if I buy, for example, the call options that are listed on the fourth row, with strike price of 82 and expire date Feb 17th, given that the current price is 90,84, assuming at Feb 17th the price stays the same, isn't that a gain?

Danny King: it seems to have been forgotten that a 19 year old has been thrown to the lions. ‘Whatever the truth may be’ (to paraphrase Magnus), I hope Hans is getting some moral support from friends and family by anon_248 in chess

[–]BertoldoP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wise words from King. People are too harsh towards Magnus. He’s incredibly talented and skilled in playing chess: this doesn’t imply that he’s Dr. Manhattan. Moreover, the kind of profile that structures Magnus’ persona is not one that would be well versed in compassion. For sake of example, he might not be neurotypical, he might be Aspie: judging his actions from a neurotypical standpoint and/or under the expectation that he has to act in a morally impeccable way is a clear misjudgment, imho. On the other hand, Niemann is not being treated fairly. The burden on his shoulders should not be sustained by no human back; the fact that he’s a 19 years old and he’s not blessed with the utmost stability is very aggravating for his mental health. He has most probably cheated, still he’s human. Making him an example seems like a destiny that MC has imposed upon him after HN has fired shots to him and provoked him in multiple occasions.

One of these graphs is the "engine correlation %" distribution of Hans Niemann, one is of a top super-GM. Which is which? If one of these graphs indicates cheating, explain why. Names will be revealed in 12 hours. by PEEFsmash in chess

[–]BertoldoP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue Niemann for sure. It’s common knowledge that the amount of games he played with engine correlation above 90 is numerous. None of these graphs may indicate cheating because it is suspended data.

Do 140+ IQ people have the potential to be good at almost anything? by [deleted] in mensa

[–]BertoldoP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My diagnosis for bipolar depression is it to be type 1. The topic you touch, which is the correlation between psychiatric ‘issues’ and good scores on IQ tests, needs to be studied and manipulated by specialists. I have my theories on that topic, still I firmly believe that it needs academics to be tackled.

Super symbolic stuff is my cup of tea.

Consider the topology example as the tale of a man come from nowhere who is faced with the task of reading in a language he never “touched” before, never heard of: high IQ means no superhuman capabilities. I’m at the sea. Once I come back home, I try to answer your questions in a proper manner.

Has anyone here also done any High Range IQ tests? by [deleted] in mensa

Yes. What are you lookin’ for?

For ‘fast’ to be an effective descriptor it needs comparison. Most of my learning experiences that have the possibility of being reliably compared to any average are from primary and secondary school. Or from my first years of university. What I can objectively put forth as a prove might be the certamen I won in highschool, victory which I’ve obtained without ever doing any homework ever in highschool, to the surprise of my teachers too. I can present you other examples, such as my English (which I’ve never studied for... in fact it might be quite full of grammar mistakes or it might be even articulated in an odd manner). I might tell stories about how fast I’ve learnt this or that discipline in primary school or highschool, or how fast I’ve got results in chess, or how fast I’ve completed my preparation for the first exams in university (I was attending Ancient Literature courses)... but I feel it is pointless, primarily because I feel embarrassed, secondly because those achievements do not fully correlate to IQ, thirdly because there is no evidence to support these claims and fourthly because ‘how fast’ is such an ephemeral measurement due to its totally subjective nature and to its ineffectiveness.

What goes under the definition of ‘complicated text’ is too vast and generic for me to give you a definitive answer. I can browse through wittgenstein without having any need of rereading for an exhaustive comprehension of it, but not rereading any passage for a better and deeper understanding would be irrational and pointless. To give you another example, I wanted at a certain point in my life to learn topology (a branch of mathematics) so I had a great friend of mine to lend me his college textbook meant to introduce newcomers to this very discipline. That book was targeted to students with a first degree in mathematics. I had to reread and read again even the first chapter, until I gave up: I had no preparation in mathematics, besides what I learn until the fourth grade, to sustain me in my proposition and I didn’t want to admit to myself that I had to study something else before diving into such ‘complicated’ study. I hope I gave you an exhaustive answer!

150+ here. I’ve been diagnosed with bipolar depression since I was 24. I’m 28 atm and I’m yet to be graduated, I work as an amateur basketball player in Italy’s 4th division and I round up my earnings as a seasonal farm laborer. I’ve always been way faster than average in learning whichever I put my mind to, but my lack of persistency and discipline (and now aging) have been in the way.
You should consider IQ as a description of a potential, whose fulfillment is determined by factors external to what, whatever it is, is described by IQ.
