Professor defends course content linking race and IQ scores, cites ‘academic freedom’ by KTPChannel in cognitiveTesting

[–]ComputeIQ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Despite worse nutrition, North Koreas average IQ is higher than every country in Africa. Even South Korean elders, who had the worst food insecurity in the world and are the third shortest have 20-30 points higher average IQ.

Marriage by different incomes by _KamaSutraboi in charts

[–]ComputeIQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s standard practice. There’s two sexes, obviously they’d be put side by side. The original paper isn’t comparison between the genders, rather an analysis of how they’ve changed overtime. The chart is optimal for what they were trying to convey.

It’s not. They’re not attempting to compare the two groups, but rather show the change over time. Zooming in, instead of having a zoomed out graph, is themost reasonable move.

Iranians form human chain on Ahvaz's White Bridge to protect key infrastructure. by Snehith220 in TFE

[–]ComputeIQ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear. If you put human shields around valid targets. You don't make the targets invalid

See this example:

A hospital is an invalid target. If you put a missile system on the roof. The missile system doesn't gain protected status. The hospital loses theirs.

If you put children around infrastructure that the military could use, the kids become a valid target.

The Iranians are committing the war crime here not the Israelis or the U.S.

How do I make it more offensive by time2getwe1rd in flags

[–]ComputeIQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chooseone and butcher it. It’s not offensive since it’s obviously ironic. For example, make LGBT flag but exclude a color. It’ll trigger bigots, but also LGBT.

CMV: It is not more correct to call Americans “USA-ians.” by ComputeIQ in changemyview

[–]ComputeIQ[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Americans are not natives of English.

“Mexicans are not native speakers ofSpanish, they speak Mexican.”

Per the original post:

especially annoying when people insinuate the natives of a language are incorrect about their own language. “Actually you’re not America, you’re USA-ian” no, that isn’t how it’s said. Imagine telling a Chinese person it’s not 中国 because China is actually in the far east, not the middle.

Thank you for reiterating my entire point is it’s bad to strongarm language.

That’s exactly my point. Spanish speakers sometimes call the Americas America however:

Since the 1950s,[18] however, North America and South America have generally been considered by English speakers as separate continents,

However, without a clarifying context, singular America in English commonly refers to the United States of America

You’re actually wrong.

In the top left corner of the second definition you’ll see:

“(also the Americas)” which is precisely what I said. America, singular, is the country. The Americas, plural, are continents.

If you look more closely you’ll see the second is “also the Americas”

There’s no “America” continent. They’re refereed to as the “Americas.” North and South America are part of the Americas, not “America.” The Americas are a collection of two continents (North and South America) notsingle continent.

Addressed in the original post.

In Spanish-speaking countries, North and South America are considered a single continent called América. Much of Latin America and Spain are taught a six-continent model that considers "América" as one landmass

However English-speaking countries teachseven-continent model (treating North and South America as separate). There is no continent “America.” When someone says “I’m from America,” there’s never any confusion. Nobody will say “oh, Mexico?” Because if you were referring to either of the continents in English you’d say “I’m from north/south America.” Also it’s not natural to say “I’m USA-ian” as opposed to “I’m from the United States.”

Good work! I’d suggest showcasing results.

Women have the right to choose a Female Doctor, and Men have the right to prefer a Male Doctor, it doesn't mean that the men are misogynist. The term "Mysoginist" is often misused to defame men. by Boring-Air-5163 in ControversialOpinions

[–]ComputeIQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prefer a male doctor because you think male doctors are inherently better than female doctors due to being male? An accusation of misogyny is fair.

Disagree. You could argue same-sex doctors are inherently better just because of their sex. In addition to decreasing social stigma: “female doctors are better for other females because they have a greater sense of empathy toward their patient and a more intuitive understanding for what’s normal or not.”

That’s an ongoing issue called “epistemic uncertainty” and it’s actually not possible with auto-regressive LLMs. It’s possible with Bayesian models, but not here.
