there's half dozen studies with two digit sample sizes and mixed replications. The most cited study finds differences in preference for a pink pot, which it attributes to biology. No difference in preference for a stuffed toy, according to the study that is a gender neutral toy.
so far I assumed that the evopsych factoid "monkeys show the gendered toy preferences of children" was from a robust literature showing dymorphism in preferences for humanoid/animate toys being extrapolated by ignorant people. I decided to look up. I was so wrong. It's so bad.
I guess the big open question is whether it can be fine-tuned with e.g. robotics data to be more accurate.

This looks visually nice but seems too imprecise to be used as a world-model...

hot take: getting negatively polarized is deeply embarrassing, not a normal psychological phenomenon, and not something to be proud of. it is a midwit behavior that should be shamed out of any circle where people claim to care about seeking truth

Checking sources is a superpower--you would not believe the stuff people sneak into things. As one example: the book "Keeping Track" is by far the most influential anti–ability grouping book. Key to its argument is a claimed finding that 90% of students can master course…
The real reason so many tech-right people freaked out about the Luke Farritor piece is that it DOGE completely undermines their worldview. That worldview is "cracked tech people are 10x smarter than anyone in DC, give Elon and a team of elite young techies access to the…

The cycles obviously generate a bunch of habits that yield plausible guesses for truth in non-cyclic circumstances. Those habits seem pretty good, but... not so reliable in practice?

Cycles also generate the feedback loop needed for maintaining the truth, since whenever they are unreliable, one can investigate the cause of the unreliability, and thereby robustify the truth maintenance process.

@bryhoyt @goblinodds ah, the spectrumy bird pyramid i love thinking about the spectrumy bird pyramid lol
Just learned of an interesting, and potentially major, source of missing heritability: Structural variants are often not in LD with SNPs. That includes SVs underlying major phenotypes. The kinship matrices you get from SNPs and SVs can be markedly different.
If you had exclusive access to a true superintelligent AGI, what would you make it do?
the world is mostly made of misunderstandings, and we need to struggle, every day, to work our way out from that
