Elon Musk, possibly JBP) who are clearly another standard deviation or two above me. a former boss, a friend I had briefly), or observed them (e.g. I took a proper IQ test at about age 9 and scored something like 127, and I would say on a day to day basis I feel like I’m indeed about two standard deviations more intelligent than most of the people I meet out in the world.īut I’ve definitely met a good amount of people (e.g. When people have intelligence like that, it’s usually immediately obvious. If I had never taken it outside of our matches I would have perpetually felt that they were both just naturally better chess players or without realizing that they both had more experience than I did.ĭomain expertise can really make a person seem superior/inferior, add in some selection bias- you generally tend to know or feel a person is very smart the more successful they are, and I can see how we might be a lot worse at judging intelligence than we think we ought to Well Once I pushed them in a game or two they would get a bit better and the gap would widen again. Part of what happened was simply that when we were playing only each other I couldn’t see much improvement because they were improving as well. This happened again in a similar way with another friend later a few years later. I spent a few weeks practicing what probably amounted to an hour a day and I suddenly beat him 2-3 times in a row (we stopped being roommates shortly thereafter). I had a roommate that I played chess against occasionally and he would mop the floor with me. Make sure a step is complete before moving on to the next one in the chain.Īlso make sure your DirecTV boxes are not connected to any "smart" power strip as that could cause weird power fluctuations as DirecTV boxes are not optimized for them (yet).I don’t know anymore, maybe I’m not smart enough but I feel a lot more intelligence is situational than I used to think, certainly perception of intelligence. This will refresh all connections and do a soft clear on anything sticking in memory that could be causing any conflict. Set up wireless from the Genie (putting in password, etc.). Under advanced you can reset network defaults. On the Genie go into settings and then internet setup.

Reboot the modem, then router if not a combo unit. If all the physical connections are good then I would try refreshing your setup in a specific order. With your phone squealing there is most likely either a wireless conflict with another device, or an issue with a nearby power source that is interfering with some of the wireless signals. Having the external CCK can sometimes cause conflicts with the built-in wireless. See if you have a box connected to your Genie labeled as a wireless Cinema Connection Kit (CCK). Expect you are using 2.4 as the 5Ghz is an option in newer, higher end routers and would not be the default option.

Most main Genies have the wireless built-in. On Demand is from internet, not the satellite so naturally is unavailable when your internet goes down.
#Loud screeching with ventrilo keyup Bluetooth
Sometimes it squeals in the bluetooth in my ear, but most of the time it does it with no active bluetooth.Ĭompared to your Mini Genie Client (C41) there are wireless models as well (C41W and recently seen C61W) which use a wireless video bridge (WVB) to work (Genie-2 has WVB built in). Sometimes I have additional connections, but the past 2 days when it squealed, there was no bluetooth active. I believe On Demand is wireless - at least I know that when our internet is down, we don't have On Demand.
