Half of the Finnish Defence Forces aptitude test is just RPM. The other half is a bizarre and inscrutable questionnaire, which includes questions like "is your father a good man" and infamously "would you like to be a florist".

I don't want to have to make legal threats to an LLM in all data not intended for LLM consumption, especially since the LLM might just end up ignoring it anyway, since there is no defined behavior with them.

Honestly, I'm really surprised to hear that IQ is not even a little bit heritable, given that IQ test performance correlates with level of education, which correlates with wealth, which is heritable.

True, wealth is not genetic, but heritability has an interesting definition which leads to some unintuitive cases of heritability abd non-heritability. For instance, wearing earrings is heritable while having ears is not.

My Lisp is not a nazi. It might be a neoreactionary, a turing tarpit, a bootloader, and a nazi, but it is not a JavaScript.

Reminds me of the UK labour party whose strategy seems to be centered around the message "we promise to be just like the tories"

Yes, but stealing people's money is just a normal banker crime. Falling for a scam should be more embarrassing. That's what they're supposed to make other people do.

This is just an alternative universe spira where the maesters are the ones peddling forbidden machina.

Is that why the network is haunted?

Her political views were probably common knowledge to many of you, but I only learned Milkshake Duck was racist in a stubsack thread a few months ago.

If it's any consolation; sectorlisp might be written by a literal self-described neoreactionary, impractical, written by a cryptofascist, computer scientific masturbation, written by a politically incoherent and confused person, pointlessly constrained, written by an obvious cryptofascist and written by a fascist; but it's still cooler and more practical than Urbit.
