It’s a good thing that measuring IQ enabled us to discover that trace amounts of lead in the environment causes reduced intelligence. That was a key piece of data for banning lead in fuel. The loss of IQ points happens to all kids living in cities, rich and poor. Rich powerful people didn’t want their kids made stupid by lead in the air.

I think that removing lead from paint and fuel has greatly improved the lives of billions of people.

Answer this question:

> If you can’t study IQ how do you demonstrate that lead poisoning causes reduced intelligence?

The research to ban lead in fuel relied on measuring IQ and measuring lead exposure, then showing a correlation between the two.

At the population level IQ is a very useful tool.

Fundamentally my argument is maybe science can solve a problem, let’s at least try.

I was remembering how critical infrastructure stays on. Most critical infrastructure is commercial.

However, a business park or an office block gets cut off with the homes.

What if some of the observed racial differences were caused by a lack of vitimin D, due to darker skin photosynthesising less of it? Vitamin D is essential for brain development. Black people in northern climates get less of it than evolution intended. This lack of vitamin D might be causing reduced brain development in black populations. If that is true, we could fix the prison crisis and racial IQ differences with a pill!

Sadly we don’t know because you can’t do the research to test the hypothesis.

If we block all research into a problem then we can’t solve it.

If you actually care about fixing a problem then we should bring all available tools to fix and solve it.

I expect that the charging station will be in an industrial park with an industrial power supply.

Also any part of the program can send data to the logger. This means the logger can receive malicious payloads from anywhere. Maybe your logger handles ascii control characters badly?

(Defence in depth does mitigate this somewhat. The attacker has to be right two or three times)

Security through obscurity protects you from low effort vulnerability scanners.

It makes you more vulnerable to a sophisticated targeted attack. A competent hacker or AI will quickly find vulnerabilities in your custom libraries.

There’s lots of community amount lower ranked players. You don’t have to be the best.

Now I’m a FI millionaire who works because it’s the best way to meet interesting people my age. I look forward to when AI frees everyone from work and they have time to do fun stuff during the day too.

So probably the compressor will run all the time.

You’ll have to do a lot of modelling to work out the best time to use the rockets, my instinct is that fast cornering is the best use of the rockets. Maybe with a boost button to get you off the line fast at the beginning.

From the marketing materials it looks like straight line acceleration is being prioritised tho, so you charge the tank during braking and cornering.

My car has a fuse for the antenna module. You can remove this fuse to block all data transfer. Have a look at the fuse box diagrams for the minivans you are interested in.

It starts with being ready to help people who are having health crises. Then when a serious crime happens the community wants it to be investigated, and they call the only organised group that can help.

If you’re the sort of kid who gets everything right first go then you join the “rocket ship” and spend 2hrs a day with AI then play for the rest of the day. You would do well in any school.

If you don’t get it right quickly then you join the “Pirate Ship” and have to spend all day grinding and obeying AI while your friends play. It seems pretty terrible.

The tutor from Cameroon is much better.

She tells me when I’m getting the basics wrong and designs lessons to go back and fix the basics.

AI loves to tell me how great I am and do lessons at the frontier of what I understand to make me feel good about how much progress I’m making.

There’s a real risk that AI kills contributions to traditional open source projects, and we all move to custom libraries written by our own AI.
