Thread 106015068

Every comment has a 'no, actually...' underneath it. Sometimes 4-5 layers deep people correcting the previous comment.

if every comment is a "no actually", then they're all wrong.

confidence is a sign of low intelligence, and the Dunning-Kruger effect

Ask them how to fix my wifi drivers for my old laptop, it suddenly disconnects on random intervals, happens on windows too
While using ethernet it will just freeze

Correction: In my view, Lewandowski's asymmetry [0] is key to contributing to online discourse. Semiological onthologies are orthogonal to progress in the field of computing, as discussed by Golderberg, Kuwambe-Ortiz et alia [1]. I was recently discussing this with other founders at my AI SaaS meetup. Excited for the future of this ideas!

"hacker" "news"
It's basically just Reddit.

>>106015171
More like an arena to show off banter to VC capitalists with word salad and artificial expertise looking in from outside. VCs won't know it's bullshit. Literally astroturfing.

>>106015081
No, actually it's a sign of healthy discourse and that users understand nuance.

Says anon, confidently

Not knowing the original paper about a dunning-kruger effect was never about confident idiots, but low self-assessment of intelligent people
Falling for the imaginary "dunning-kruger" effect that has never exist

>>106015068 (OP)
They've all joined the cult of castration.

>>106015629
>no, actually
oh the irony

>>106015663
The Dunning-Kruger effect also applies to smart people. You don't stop when you are estimating your ability correctly. As you learn more, you gain more awareness of your ignorance and continue being conservative with your self estimates.

yes intelligence means realizing you know nothing

>>106015676
The Dunning-Kruger effect was about smart people
It never had the "idiot peak" that "self-help" conmen love to mention

>>106015712
Intelligence means you don't need to rely on popular "wisdom" phrases about how the humble are incredible and the poor will be raised because you live in a post-christianity and french revolution west

>>106015735
it especially means you don't listen to confidently-wrong retards on 4chin

>>106015747
I hope that by this you mean the original insecure retard that mentioned the "dunning-kruger" effect

>>106015719
okay but im sure that g is full of high iq retards or else they woukdnt feel so confident in their retardation

>>106015781
Sure, the point is that there's no correlation in intelligence and confidence, there is insecure idiots and confident smart people. I hate this buzzword, but the best way to describe the "dunning-kruger" effect (that never existed), is a "cope" for insecure people

>>106015068 (OP)
More like pajeetnews.
The site is too old. There are many pajeets and chinks with higher user privileges.
Posting something bad about pajeets, etc.? Instant-flag.

"dunning-kruger" - a reddit post-modernist pseudoscience term invented by a female lead "science"

All this to say retards tend to be ignorant of their own flaws, a survivorship bias.

>>106015068 (OP)
its refreshing reading hackernews, to see that intelligent people still exist

>>106015068 (OP)
Peak nerddom without going to IRC is on slashdot

>>106015719
dunno m8, looks like an idiot peak to me

>>106015985
Only shows that most people consider themselves average
The 10% idiots aren't being confident that they are 100%

>>106015985
that's one way to look at it. the other is that thinking you're average when you score barely above 10th percentile is a gross overestimation.

>>106016053
Either interpretations are subjective matters, but neither support the idea that "confidence is a sign of low intelligence" that other anon confidently said
For me that's a more societal bias of not wanting to be special, people are afraid of being either too bad or too good
