Hemingway To Go! posted:here's a graph that makes it clear that ffxi is a good and fun use of time To be fair, that chart is a lot more complicated than things actually were in game (it's not like you were using multiple weapons at once, so to figure out a combo you could just ignore everything on there that wasn't in your weapon class). Although FFXI did have plenty of confusing weird bullshit. It's just not stuff that expresses itself well in chart form, unless you consider a page with "gently caress YOU" in 75 point font to be a chart, since that is a fairly accurate summation of Absolute Virtue.

Somebody else tried: Perestroika posted:After poring over this for way too long, I finally realised that the stupid diagram is really just the least intuitive way possible to illustrate what he wrote in that post. Red makes blue loses a white dot, so then yellow (i.e. the government) comes in, takes a white dot from red and gives it back to blue, and then takes the black dot from red for itself. I have no idea what he means by "nonrivalrous" in this context, as to my understanding that only applies to goods and services, rather than actors.

Rumda posted:Cross posting from D&D My God, this is fractal wrongness. Once you get past the "IQ is by definition set with a mean of 100 for the current year" There's the "using temporally grounded measures, IQ has been increasing approximately 8-10 points a generation for several generations especially in 'minority' populations" Flynn effect that says litterally the opposite of this chart. There's STILL just... Ugh. What do these morons think IQ measures?

Article talks about that.quote:Between the 1930s and 1980s, the average IQ score in the US rose by three points and in post-war Japan and Denmark, test scores also increased significantly - a trend known as the ‘Flynn effect’. I don't know about 'starting,' though - it was my impression that we were already several decades past the last observed Flynn increases.

So I'm gonna censor the hell out of this because it's from work. But we have two components we're testing, each has over 40 strain gages on it, and each component undergoes a number of test runs. Occasionally, a gage will fail, either because the gage pops loose from the adhesive it's stuck to the surface with, or because a wire undergoes enough cyclic stress to flex and break, or a solder joint does, etc. We figured it would be useful information to track how the gages fail over time, so perhaps as to start figuring out how long we can expect gages to last in future use with this component. We ask Tibor to put together a chart showing the number of working gages compared to how long we've tested the components for. Tibor, instead of plotting the number of surviving gages vs. the *hours* under test, plots them vs test *number*. Which is pretty useless, because test number is just an arbitrary assignment. Your first test is T1, the second is T2, etc. Some tests might last 20 minutes, others might last 3 hours, so using test number as an independent variable is meaningless. I ask Tibor, "Hey, why not plot the number of surviving gages against test hours instead of test number, I think that might show us something more useful. Tibor dutifully goes forth and presents this:  Because knowing that test hours go up as you run more tests is....important for some reason.

The cynic in me says that the key is probably that it's titled 'World IQ' instead of just 'Average IQ' or simply 'IQ'.

I think you've all missed the fact that the current year isn't even halfway along the x-axis on that graph. It's more than 50% projection (i.e. bullshit random guessing), all the way to the year 2110. I like how he put a slight kink in the line at 2050. Like apparently his projection is so good that he knows that the rate of decline will slow down slightly 33 years from now.

It's the thing that no one can take away from them because if someone disagrees that they are smart, well that just because this someone is too dumb to understand someone as smart as they are.

That said, intelligence is probably the best psychometric measure there is for adults in terms of predicting real-world outcomes, which is not great shakes but, still, many people who dis IQ talk a big game about stuff that is much weaker sauce.
