There is a Telegram group called "India against slavery". It is a group that spreads anti-vaccine messages and lots of other misinformation. Please mass report that group and flood it with porn so that Telegram is forced to shut it down.

Facing the possibility of regulation at the hands of the Biden administration, the owners of Jewwl decided they needed some positive publicity. So they decided to buy an academic journal and get some honest, unbiased opinions about their product from the scientific community.
In the interest of pubic education and health, Jewwl also made American Journal of Health Behavior free to the general public

Write a function for curve with cubic interpolation

No.13374233 ViewReplyOriginalReport
So I have a curve like picrel, i.e. Ik now how it looks like. And I know that at 0.5 x value it returns 0.321 y value

It has 2 defining points with following parameters:
[P1]
"X": 0,
"Y": 0.15,
"Arrive": 0,
"ArriveWeight": 0,
"Leave": 0,
"LeaveWeight": 0

[P2]
"X": 1,
"Y": 1,
"Arrive": 2.0334492,
"ArriveWeight": 0,
"Leave": 2.0334492,
"LeaveWeight": 0

In this particular case Arrive and Leave are the value of tangent handle (as in UI handle) that is used to adjust curve in the graphical interface.

What I need is to replicate the function in code to get the value at specific input (X)

I'm having hard time figuring it out. I know the interpolation is cubic with flat tangents

Environmental Factors of IQ

No.13374341 ViewReplyOriginalReport
We know that IQ is about 80% heritable (Source: https://www.altcensored.com/watch?v=w3y2SDpIEhE).

So let's say two people with an average IQ of 130 breed.
Using 100 IQ as baseline, the children will have an average IQ IQ of 100+0.8*(130-100)=124 (regression to the mean)
(Btw this is already questionable since your immediate family with an IQ above the baseline is weighted more heavily than the baseline of the background population)

Anyway, the question of this thread is how to max the other 20% of the IQ factors?

This may become a recurrent thread (maybe even a general) with enough traffic so future parents will know what to do.


Results until now:
-loving household (!) -> creates high trust environment and the child talks more etc.
-exercise (!) -> increased blood flow to brain,
-breastfeeding (!) for up to 2 years (first 6 months only breastfeeding, then add solid food)
-intellectual hobbys (!), for example chess, music, drawing/painting, reading, ...
-practice motor skills (!?), for example juggling, unicycle, skipping rope, ... (it's like exercise + intellectual exercise)
-healthy diet (!), always get enough: vegetables, leafy greens, nuts, meat(?) and fish(?), ..
-language (!), i've read that growing up bilangual is bad because you don't really master one language, which is important for deep thoughts.


Notice: Most non-heritable IQ-potential is actualized during psychological development of the child. So between 1-4, maybe some between year 4-10.
