wow! I wonder if the east coast of Baltic Sea is just inherently unpredictable? Or are we on par with poorer countries for investment in weather prediction?

Would love to see that website! 😝

Yes, I crave for iOS backups so badly! Happy to pay for the feature!

@kevinh-phd.bsky.social has a half-done study on whether UPF-s can be made healthy. Answer is currently so-so. Not sure what happened to it bsky.app/profile/kevi...

The harvesting is a nasty procedure for the woman. Also, the 1st choice embryo may not develop, and one needs to implant the "lesser" embryos, ie less variation in a trait. All this leaves too many questions for me rn, given the monetary and emotional cost, particularly for ppl with no need for IVF.

I can now imagine tech bros forcing their wives to go through multiple rounds of harvesting to get the embryo count up!

So the parent takes a loan for the 50k service. Assuming no interest, the parent takes the whole childhood (~17 years, 250/month) to pay back. Once the child is adult, she can earn it back to the parent across the next 17y with her IQ. After early midlife, she can reap the benefits to her own :)

Makes sense. Here's a handy reference, bit old (p15)

With LLM aid, I estimated that 8.5 IQ difference can mean extra 250€/month neto in .ee and 430 in .de. Incidentally, same effect size applies for anorexia...

I'm trying to contextualise the 8.5 difference. If we apply IQ prediction accuracy to predicting adult height (2/3 of SD between low and high embryo), then we can expect about 4cm adult height difference between embryos. That's something but not very consequential. Am I on the right path here?

At this sample size it would be more relevant to ask about SESOI
