> in fact openness to experience is just not useful as a description of personality?

No, construct validity for the Big Five has been replicated by many researchers.

> When I talk about openness to experience it means

When Paula down the street talks about "utilitarianism," it means disregard for aesthetics. That doesn't have any implications for the validity of Bentham's philosophy or whether Peter Singer is likely to decorate his house well or poorly. She just doesn't know what Bentham and Singer mean by the term.

> psychometrisians [sic] have—after decades—still failed to demonstrate convincingly

They have not failed. You just haven't read their papers.

> I bet that when a boss talks about [openness to experience], they think

If a person doesn't understand the concepts they're talking about, that's not the fault of the concepts, unless they're incoherent. It's the fault of the person who hasn't bothered to learn about the concepts.

> the confusion stems from believing this is some scientifically useful term

The Big Five are among the very few results in psychology that are usefully predictive; most of psychology is pseudoscience just below the Ancient Astronauts folks. The confusion does not stem from believing O2E is a scientifically useful term; it is.

At best it stems from a poorly chosen "improper noun"; if they had called it "Hamiha" or "splofth-zeels", this confusion wouldn't arise.
Considering Google App Engine launched in 2008 and Compute Engine in 2012 I would argue it exceeds "a few years" and begins to form precedent.

I would also argue that it is not a reasonable comparison in this context to conflate pricing changes with deprecation.
Generally, I agree, but "feels good" doesn't translate well between individuals. To many, eating a jelly donut "feels good", at least in the short term. Most people don't excel at long term thinking, and so whether one feels good probably isn't a great metric for whether one is doing something beneficial.

Another thing is that I personally wouldn't consider 4 out of the 5 things you listed to feel good, and in a few cases I don't even find them to be linearly beneficial. The kind of cardio exercise you mentioned (all exercise is cardio BTW) is something I don't enjoy before or after. Things like bike riding have both positives and negatives, and I am not a fan of the high cortisol state that results. I'm not saying riding bikes is bad, but if I was totally oblivious to the health benefits, I would find it to be a slog once I got over the novelty
Wait, he mistyped the URL in the HN post and fixed it in the redirector?
There’s a lot of nonsense to unpack in that comment.

Equity is not “literally communism”, it’s the pretty simple understanding that if you always start 40 meters ahead of someone in a 100 meter race, you’re likely to always finish first and they won’t have a chance.

So we put more (and therefore unequal) resources into helping the competitor who’s having to run 40 more meters than you.

This isn't a "work enviroment" in the way you seem to be implying. The vast majority of people contributing to the kernel do not work for linux or Linus.

I’m not sure you understand Rice’s theorem correctly. It means that you can’t write an algorithm that takes an arbitrary program as input and tells you whether it fulfills a given nontrivial semantic property. But you can write an algorithm that can tell you for some subset of programs. So as a developer, if you restrict yourself to releasing programs for which the algorithm has halted and given you the desired answer, you are fine.

Depending on the semantic property to check for, writing such an algorithm isn’t trivial. But the Rust compiler for example does it for memory safety, for the subset of valid Rust programs that don’t use Unsafe.
I take it you haven't heard of Daryl Davis?

He's a black guy who went out of his way to befriend KKK members, and many of them ended up leaving the KKK when they realized he didn't fit what they were told about black people.

Censorship would not have helped, they had to be shown that they were wrong. That's what "sunlight is the best disinfectant" means.
That is assuming everyone else is too stupid to make that decision for themselves.

Who gets to decide what is acceptable and what isn't?

Our/society's rights and wrongs has greatly changed over time and that is only possible because of both good and bad ideas being heard.

No one person should be deciding what's acceptable for the whole of soceity. Every individual should hear different ideas, good, bad and terrible, and decide for themselves what/who they agree with.
Is this even true? Cumulative sales of plug-in cars in the U.S.A. looks to me like it still favors the SAE charger connector.
Yes, it does. You can measure preference falsification using the list technique in societies that engage in censorship to show that it works.

It also makes sense that it works given our understanding of social contagion.

https://www.centurysaunas.co.uk/how-much-does-a-sauna-cost-t...

Says an electric heater (not infrared) sauna is about 4.5kW (about half my shower), takes about 40 minutes to heat up, then 20 minutes in it, so say 5kWh if you time it right, maybe 8kWh if you have a longer time in it or aren't perfectly tires. Even at current uncapped UK prices of 60p/kWh that's about the cost of a takeaway coffee.

I'd use a sauna a lot more if the UK were like Germany (I was in Munich recently for work and used it every day), however there are rarely saunas in UK hotels, and those that are require you to wear clothes! Sadly haven't got enough space at home for one.

> Chiropracty is a dangerous pseudoscience

Maybe true on some level, and there are certainly a lot of scam artists or misguided ones, but I've seen too many anecdotal cases of people with major issues that couldn't be solved by physical therapists somehow resolved or greatly alleviated by a chiropractor to write them off.
Having read the whole article, I'm still not sure why The Jetsons being iconic is a problem.

It seems like the thesis here is "The Jetsons inspired techno-optimism, and made fun of the future-person's distance from hard work, but didn't talk about the health impacts of people not having to physically work."

This all seems accurate, but I still have no idea why that's a problem. He-Man didn't delve into the risks of skin cancer from not wearing a shirt: okay. The Flintstones didn't critique or counter the car-centered society we have or its impact on climate: okay.

This seems like being mad at popcorn for not being broccoli; I guess there could be some things we could do to make it better for you, but that's not the purpose of popcorn, and it's not a particularly huge problem as-is.

> Why is your argument different?

Because in a liberal democracy - or anywhere for that matter - not all ideas are of equal value. The same goes for Putin's Russia as it does for, say, Finland. You have to decide what you stand for, a culture has to decide what it wants to value.

Some ideas and actions are quite obviously, objectively anti-life, pro-misery.

Two people saying the same thing or doing the same thing are not inherently achieving the same outcome, pursuing the same end goal, arriving at their ideas from the same place, and so on. All of that matters in a big way.

A liberal, human rights respecting democracy with a constitution is objectively better if human well-being is your standard, than a theocracy. We have many centuries of experimentation and result at this point, no guessing is required.

Which is to say, deplatforming two very different people that are saying entirely different things and attempting to accomplish very different end goals, is not the same thing just because they're both the act of deplatforming.

Shooting and killing an innocent person at random on the street is not the same as shooting and killing a robber that has broken into your home and is intent on harming your family, despite the fact that they both involve you shooting and killing someone. The same exact moral principle is involved in the deplatforming premise.
> For engineering orgs the size of Snap’s things take longer and having more people very often does solve the velocity problem

Your comment is totally fair. I will say though, that the impact of having more people is a function of how independently they can be deployed. One of the biggest challenges for hypergrowth companies is how to decouple things as they scale to keep people productive without drowning the org in communication overhead. Brooks' Law looms large in single product companies when they start to hit 4-figure engineering team sizes.
That wasn't reparations, that was retribution for slave labor for those forced to work in German factories. It's a start, but also about two orders of magnitude less than what Germany should pay, given the atrocities they committed in Poland. About 2-3 millions of civilians were killed during the whole war (and I mean ethnic Poles, not the Jews living in Poland, which are additional 3 millions victims)

Very nice puzzle! A quick Python script that solves it as it's difficult to do with a pen and paper:

#awesome feature from Python 3.9!
from functools import cache

@cache
def ev(score, cards_left):
if cards_left == 0: return 0
up_cards_no = (cards_left - score) / 2
p_up = up_cards_no / cards_left
p_down = 1 - p_up
return max(score, p_up * ev(score + 1, cards_left - 1) + p_down * ev(score - 1, cards_left - 1))

>>> ev(0,52)
2.6244755489939253

Of course we should continue if the current score is lower than ev. Here is the script to find exact thresholds at which we should stop drawing more cards:

def find_thresholds():
print(f"EV of tha game: {ev(0,52)}") # fill the cache up
for i in range (0,10):
thres = 52 - i
while ev(i, thres) > i:
thres -= 2
print(f"At score {i} you should stop drawing with {thres} cards left")

>>> find_thresholds()
EV of tha game: 2.6244755489939253
At score 0 you should stop drawing with 0 cards left
At score 1 you should stop drawing with 3 cards left
At score 2 you should stop drawing with 8 cards left
At score 3 you should stop drawing with 17 cards left
At score 4 you should stop drawing with 28 cards left
At score 5 you should stop drawing with 41 cards left
At score 6 you should stop drawing with 46 cards left
...

Being up 6 or more we should always stop. The last interesting number is being up 5.

But isn't every program we write today (Rust, C++, Python, JS, etc.) raise up to the level of an "arbitrary program"? How do you find those "some subset of programs" that will halt by said algorithm?

The only sure way I can think of, is when you force your program to go through a more narrow non-turing algorithm. Like sending data through a network after Serialization. Where we could limit the De-Serialization process to be non Turing (json, yaml?).

Same for code, that uses non-turing API, like memory allocation in a dedicated per process space. Or rust "borrow" mechanics that the compiler enforces.

But my point is, everyday program are "arbitrary program" and not a red haring. Surly from the kernel perspective, which is Linus point imo.

I envoy an infrared sauna but they usually top out at around 140F. The studies they're referring to are Finnish studies that use dry heat (heated rocks) that go a bit higher than that to 175F+ which I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy less. So before you buy an IR sauna (which I've thought about), the published data for their health benefits is limited. Which makes sense, if it's easy it isn't as an effective stressor.
I can definitely turn my shower up for a hotter body experience than any sauna I've ever been in, and obviously it's nowhere near 150-195 which would be lethal.

Because the water is making direct contact with my body for much more heat transfer. The dry air of a sauna is vastly slower, plus you're sweating which provides evaporative cooling which isn't happening in the shower.

So I too really don't see how saunas are appreciably different from hot showers here.

You do realize programming languages don’t necessarily manipulate the architectures native floating point operations, but are free to define any semantics they want? You know, like it could have number types that work like in math, e.g. symbolic math tools does exactly that.

Also, that kind of language is absolutely not warranted.
I mentioned history of numbers, and it starts not from PIE speaking peoples, so I'm a bit lost as for what exactly is your point.
My understand for how we measure systemic racism issues seems to typically be predicated on assumed outcomes. For example that if the distribution of employees race does not match the general population then there must be a systemic cause for this.

What I don’t understand is why that is assumed true. If we want to encourage many different cultures to live together wouldn’t it naturally make sense that different cultures would have different outcomes in job preferences? How do you separate potential racism from cultural differences?

My fear is if there are strong cultural differences that lead to disparate racial outcomes so organizations will always be able to point out that systemic issues exist even when they may be eradicated. I don’t know how we measure this.

In the children's quiz, children can both think that elephants are heavier and that giraffes are taller, and not know what you mean by "bigger." If you're saying that a ranked choice quiz given to children can force them to identify with opinions that they don't have e.g. force them to say that giraffes are "bigger," I'd agree, but the only gotcha is "gotcha to record an opinion that you don't actually have."

In ranked choice voting, can I say that one candidate is worthwhile, and all the others would be catastrophic? Can I say that the top five are passable, but the other two are Nazis?

I honestly don’t understand your problem with this.

Historically, the majority of humanity was not a part of social science study. For example, economics has a tradition of drawing conclusions about the labor market based on data only on American white males (literally). This has been changing and it reveals blind spots in our previous understanding of the economy.

All that this policy change seems to be doing is encourage researchers in social psychology to work with a wider subpopulation than, for example, American undergraduates aged 18 to 22. It does not mandate anywhere what their findings should be.
