💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🧠📈 A #study of over 11,000 British #twins tracked cognitive test scores from age 4 to 21.
Only 1% of children scoring in the top tier at age 7 still scored high at 16, while just 8% of average-scoring #kids climbed into the top range. Genetic and family-education factors predicted stability most strongly, suggesting early gifted labels are an unreliable guide to #adult ability.

Early giftedness rarely lasts into adulthood, large developmental study finds
A large study tracking children for over a decade reveals that early intellectual giftedness rarely lasts into adulthood. The findings suggest that genetic factors guide cognitive development far more than a child's environment.Karina Petrova (PsyPost - Psychology News)

You should read what @Crell mentioned about using #AI in today’s world, particularly in software #development.
Larry’s approach may not be trendy or convenient, but it’s worth considering in the context of our current world. AI is ubiquitous, and it’s important to take the time to understand and evaluate its implications.
Peace ✌️

Welches Tastaturlayout nutzt ihr zum Programmieren?
Ob ihr auch die passende physische Tastatur habt, ist erstmal egal, könnt ihr ja kommentieren, interessiert mich auch.
Ich nutze ein englisches Layout und die passende physische Tastatur, weil die meisten Sonderzeichen angenehmer zu tippen sind.

Hubzilla KnowledgeDB: Entwicklungssystem für Hubzilla
Wer Addons für Hubzilla entwickeln möchte, oder Themes bauen oder sogar am Code von Hubzilla selbst arbeiten will, der sollte das tunlichst nicht mit einem Hub tun, der als “Produktivsystem” läuft, denn dieses kann man sich damit allzu leicht gründlich zerschießen.
Für solche Zwecke gibt es z.B. die PHP-Entwicklungsumgebung DDEV. Und Harald Eilertsen, einer der Hauptentwickler von Hubzilla, hat eine spezielle DDEV-Umgebung für Hubzilla erstellt. Er stellt diese in einem Git-Repo zur Verfügung.

🚴🧠 New research shows that reducing sedentary time in schools – through simple strategies like standing to answer questions or adding unstructured #play – improves #children’s waist-to-hip ratios, cognitive performance, and emotional wellbeing.
Researchers emphasize that all movement counts, from climbing #trees to riding #bicycles.

Google Gemini is a big fat liar! - Arnan de Gans
Thoughts about my use of AI over the last week or so. I have been using Google Gemini for a few things. It's pretty dumb still.Arnan de Gans
Man, code verifying with Google Gemini (or getting some feedback/ideas) is annoying sometimes - Stop overcomplicating simple things you stupid bot!
`strtotime(gmdate('m-d-Y'))` is NOT better than `gmmktime()` just because the other nerds talking to it use it.
GRRR!

Don't have time for a banner grab but still interested in basic info about a server?
Well taking advantage of a server's inability to process '%' b/c it expects two hex digits to follow; in many cases it errors
Preventing this from happening is actually easy
It requires an essential secure programming principle: verify, validate, and sanitize your input
This principle should be applied to EVERY input, and yes the URL is input

The ad management landscape is changing, but the core requirement remains the same: you need a reliable way to make money from your traffic without fighting your tools.

Has anyone here ever used 510-Pyro to develop a very low ISO film? I have someone sending me a couple of rolls of Lucky SHD50 which, despite its name, has an ISO somewhere between 5-10. The person sending it found it super-contrasty and wants to see what it'd look like with 510-Pyro's stain. I'm thinking of doing a 1hr stand development, but would love to hear other thoughts/opinions.
@pictorialplanet, maybe you have some idea?
