>First issue - outside of "my IQ is..." bragging rights, intelligence is multi-dimensional.

This is the reason I shy away from using the term IQ. I do not believe it's a valid test on the individual level.

>If it's "homeopathy would be better than vaccines for our baby"-class stuff

A lot of it is this level. In fact, homeopathy is a major point of contention.

While knowledge is part of it, understanding is also a large factor. Having to explain things again and again and them not understanding what you're saying.
I would say some regular culprits are viral internet memes that say something crazy. My SO and I are ideologically aligned, for the most part, so are both right-wing. I don't know if you spend time in right-wing internet silos but there are a lot of [redacted] memes that go around claiming something wild that are almost always false. Maybe it's the same on the left, I have no idea.

Used to, I would explain what's going on, which I'm fine with. At a certain point, she became tired of the explaining and decided that I "never agree with her." So, now I have to ignore them, because I'd rather not fight about it.

I do have this.

You're right though, the answer is patience.

Ask HN: How do you deal with being more intelligent than the general population?

I'm going on the assumption that most people here are more intelligent than the norm, with some of you being on far-right side of the curve. How do you deal with so many people in your day to day life being less intelligent?I'm not looking for answers like "open-mindedness." I'm looking for real answers, because let's be honest, most people are pretty dumb. Most of the things people say aren't...

took them 20 years to figure out that they can't monetize their media player
don't forget Macamp.
It would be amazing if it gets carried over to the Mac.
I don't think anything will stay stagnant enough for us to even comprehend what life will be like in the future.
Contrary to others here, I am not a fan of Porkbun. Yes, it has everything you need and yes, it is cheap. But the website is sub-usable way more often than it should be. I started using Porkbun because it was so cheap and I've found myself going back to IWantMyName.com. It's more expensive but I think I get a better experience and service.
I use iCloud because of Apple's Advanced Data Protection. I don't believe Dropbox offers anything like that, do they?

For backups I use Time Machine synced to a Linux home server.

Wonder what the job is like fixing those robots.

I read this and immediately became sick to my stomach. I despise working in corporate america.

If aqny came here for fun, I think he just found it. Working on performance issues is the best.

Amazing tool.

I get that focus is important but I could do without the whole "a randomized algorithm could run a company as well as a CEO" rubbish.

Considering that Cracking the Coding Interview is no longer enough for most people, I think it's fair to say that the difficulty has increased.

Re:The Apple Vision Pro on Tuesday February 06, 2024 @02:52PM (#39279605)
I wasn't sure about the Vision Pro until I saw how negative HackerNews was about it. I'm sure it'll be a massive success now.
I am one of the people to whom you refer. I read about fail2ban in a "Linux Server Bible" e-book around 2010 and have used it on all of my servers since, even though I am careful with my keys and use password-less login.
My bootloader is all screwed up because of the TPM2.0 requirement for Windows 11 so I have to boot to BIOS and select my drive whenever I restart. It's a pain.
I've been running the same Ubuntu install on my desktop for over 5 years now and I haven't run into any issues (if I did they were small enough that I don't remember them). It my experience, it's much more stable, usable, and aesthetic than Windows.

I use macOS as my main driver, though.

That's the only reason I ever log into Windows. Such an atrocious OS.
Currently looking for a job and they have become more difficult to come by and are paying less.

Quizlet has a feature to build flashcards using AI. I'm sure they could write a backend service that just chunked the entire chapter.
