Where does it say that? Among the metrics they use are unemployment, job openings, and GDP growth. Seems pretty standard to me. The Fed article that discusses a new index isn't 'fabricating' a new index; they developed a way to separate the performance of the metropolitan area from the city proper so good performance for the overall metro area wouldn't give an I correctly rosy picture of the city proper. If you're gonna tell me to read my links, maybe you should make sure you read them first.

Please do quote me exactly where it says this new Detroit-only metric shows the city doing better than the metro-inclusive metric. I'm particularly curious to see where it says that since the article explicitly points out that the Detroit-only index performed worse than the metro-inclusive index.

I do it the awkward way too. But I typical play an artist that I loved two decades ago and crank the volume. So "My music" wasn't the best way to describe it. More music that is just for me. I don't find their inbuilt music channels you can play from the center console to be that good. There is lots of UX things that could be done with music that wouldn't be hard.

> This comment is pretty controversial for whatever reason, but said differently - why would we allow autonomous cars to kill 30k Americans every year (the same allowance we give human drivers)?

> That seems like a comically bad baseline.

Now consider a version of autonomous cars that would kill 20k.

The argument to switch to those cars, to save 10k lives a year, has to use 30k as a baseline.

If we don't use 30k as a baseline, then we end up saying "20k is too many, stick with the status quo", and then more people die.

We should do our best to keep standards high and increase them as technology permits, but there is no reasonable way to avoid using the current numbers as a baseline.
It would be cool to have a feature like that, similar to how you could see previous years in Street View. Closed restaurants are preserved on Yelp, maybe there might be a way to extract that somehow and put it on OpenStreetMaps…
>Once widespread, it's possible that they'll charge more than Uber because of the extra privacy and safety in a Waymo ride.

It's possible, but I don't think it's something you can assume. Having to pay for a chauffeur isn't cheap, and that's what you're doing with Uber. A robotaxi avoids that cost since it drives itself.
It’s not that you can’t do any modeling at all - that’s definitely not the point I was trying to convey. It’s hard and you have to simplify. That simplicity has a benefit (tractability) and a cost (there is inevitably less realism).

If you want to learn more, you are spoiled for choice. There are lots of places to look. Here’s a random list from the top of my head right now.

Ljungqvist and Sargent’s Recursive Macroeconomic Theory is a standard grad level text taught nearly everywhere. Has been for probably 20 years.

Stokey, Lucas and Prescott is another, more math methods focused.

DeJong and Dave is a macro empirics book.

Jianjun Miao’s book is another solid option.

Stachurski focuses on computational methods.

Acemoglu has a book on modern growth theory.

McCandless “the abcs of rbcs” is IMO underappreciated.

Beyond this you’ll need chapters from various volumes of the Handbook of Macro and related texts. There’s a long one by Fernandez-villaverde and co-authors about modern DSGE models. That’s available for free on his website I think.

It’s a huge literature. If you are serious about it, enjoy and good luck!
Nope. It was Cruise who gave rides only at night. Waymo has operated 24/7 since day 1. The only restriction has been who is approved to ride (they have a long waitlist).

Great to hear someone is still pursuing the Uber model long after Uber themselves gave up on it!
Not sure the point here. California St is a major artery in and out of downtown. All I'm saying is there is an opportunity for improving the quality of traffic but instead the public resource of an entire lane is wasted on a bespoke piece of transportation history that runs at a loss in excess of $40m/year
there's also a population control argument, as oceans warm up squid are like an ultra-preditor and may just go into population acceleration. they'll eat nearly anything, are good at catching it and when desperate will eat eachother. as they get higher in the water column they'll get even more to compete with.
Ok I agree I was being a little ambitious :) Let me tackle your points one at a time:

- cities already pay private companies to help manage the traffic infrastructure so it doesn't seem too crazy. Seems hyperbolic to claim that's "privatizing roads"

- subsidizing private corps - ok maybe we shouldn't do this. but we should stop subsidizing public transit. it should have to compete with private alternatives now that we have them. previously there were no alternatives to public transit so we kind of had to subsidize it for equity, but now I think private enterprise (given fair competition) could deliver the same outcome. Instead of subsidizing the method (public transit) we should subsidize the outcome we want (equitable access to transport - which might mean that you need to provide low income rides as a ride share provider)

- on the money spent on the SF subway and bus lane, you're right, we're not getting that back. But we can just stop doing those going forward.

- regarding van ness bus lane, I didn't know it was because of the street lamps. But that actually proves my point. Basically to make any improvement, we just have to steer clear of new physical infrastructure. I'm suggesting no new physical infra, just software.

- regarding the tax on driverless rides, we kind of already have it. SF has a 3.25% tax on all ride sharing rides. We'd just need to update that to price the tax dynamically to help traffic shape. And if we don't get that piece, it's not critical.

- on giving it to Google. Fine... not them then. Whoever can provide the best service for the lowest cost. Perfect for free markets. In fact, if we make the API to traffic system standardized, you could plugin and hot swap different providers. You could even back test new providers on historic data to see what their performance would have been like and swap to new providers as they demonstrate their improvement over the current system

- cars have a fraction of the capacity of buses - yeah only if they are fully utilized and you're not counting getting to and from the bus station nor the loss of productivity waiting for a bus
Trains are very expensive to build and maintain, so they only work if your city has enough density to support them with sufficient ridership. America really screwed itself by building cities for cars instead of people, and it's hard to change this at this point, especially when every effort at making cities there more walkable and dense is met with fierce opposition.
True enough, but you can also get a prescription for this if you don't want to do OTC/BTC.
ease of access.
IIRC, the Kinect was supposed to be an integral part of the XB1 package, but was made optional to compete (price-wise) with the PlayStation 4. Pretty unfortunate.
Here I was thinking the question, "Do you have anything to ask us?" was simply another opportunity for someone at Google to belittle you by demonstrating how they already know everything you could possibly ask.

After all, you are being interviewed because you should already know everything if you want to work there, as they do and so does everyone else who applied.
Not to mention that Waymo will have to own their fleet and can't quietly pass depreciation costs onto their drivers like Uber does.

MMT is bullshit. Total and complete bullshit. That’s a bigger topic than I have time or space for. You can’t even get those clowns to commit to anything their theory implies at all! Every time an obvious objection is raised they say “oh well that’s not what we mean!” Yeah ok so tell us what you DO mean.

Sorry but MMT is extremely frustrating. It’s not even playing the same game as normal macro. It as as much a “competitor” to standard macro as astrology is to astronomy. Like astrology, it has essentially nothing to do with reality.

You mean Cruise?
Except humans drive all the time and AVs are usually turned off during extreme weather. Additionally, heavy rain days can cause a lot of people to dump Amazon delivery and do Uber for the day because rideshare demand spikes. Even if the AVs are left on, the relative population of the human drivers increases substantially (and the humans are also now also driving in less safe conditions).
The current top story is about Cruise, not Waymo? Am I missing something?
exactly so, and we should be doing something about all harmful advertising to children in proportion to the harm that it's causing. If facebook is a larger problem than teen magazines then that's where our attention should be.
Ask HN: Tab Management Rec?
I used to use Freezetab (https://www.freezetab.com/) to manage my Chrome tabs but their latest update 1 or 2 weeks ago totally tanked the tool for me. Namely:

1. Now it's too many clicks to save and reload tabs.

2. More damningly, the functionality to close the existing tab set used to close all your tabs in all windows (except for like, 1 tab in one of the secondary windows, was nbd). Now, it only closes the tabs in one of your windows. Unacceptable.

I have looked into a couple other Chrome extensions for this purpose, but none of the ones I have tried thus far do what I want, and a lot of them require accounts. What do people recommend?
And there's evidence (as Mr Murray documents, which was obviously his "real" crime) that this was all a fit-up by the current SNP leadership to discredit Mr Salmond so that they would be free from criticism from him about the lack of movement on independence and the SNP pivot from independence to culture war issues.

Also, probably, the reason that the SNP leadership are now pushing for jury-less trials for sexual abuse cases.

If true, it's a staggeringly cynical abuse of the Me Too movement, feminism and the wave of popular support for sexual abuse victims.
This is wonderful material. But admittedly, I am a bit lazy on reading to the part I want: what is a good model, or set of models, I should re-educate myself with to correct what I was taught?
I mean, this isn't bad or anything, and if Rob Graham is going to write about anything with authority, this is certainly it, but it's kind of beating up a straw man, isn't it? I feel like "layering violations" went out the window with HTTP, and certainly by the time we got WebSockets.
Seems like you wrote all of this out without realizing that they drive 24/7, regardless of weather, and they drive in all roads except highways (granted that's a big difference!) in the cities they're in.

Which is to say that most of what you just said is really misleading. The only part that seems relevant to me is the highway driving versus city driving.
lol if you think Ballmer wouldn’t be eating up your data right now as well.

Also, arguably, the biggest part of MS’s success under Nadella has been the massively improved dev experience, with the open sourcing of C#/.Net, Powershell, the promotion of Thpescript and VS Code, to name a few larger Dev focused efforts.

The MS dev story under Ballmer was dire. Despite C# being a tremendous language and .Net being an excellent framework, Windows’s supremacy under Ballmer’s MS meant it was never allowed to go beyond Windows, and IIS, which meant both the language and framework fared extremely poorly largely due to the underlying Windows Server and IIS dependencies.

Such devices have been on the market for years.

I've owned an Onyx BOOX Max Lumi (13.3" e-ink Android tablet) for nearly 3 years now. Monochrome 16-shade greyscale (with dithering for better presentation of images). It's excellent for reading straight text, line drawings, and most webpages, though a pagination-based navigation is much preferable to scrolling.

Refresh is ~8--16 Hz, though that varies by display mode. It's possible to view video on the device, though you'd generally prefer not to. Animations are generally annoying A.F.

I wish he had addressed this one in the article, because this is a situation where the history is really relevant. There is an important and contentious history of debate about what those terms really mean (one possible position in that debate is that the difference doesn't matter, but there are others).

Unlike pull requests or linked list interview questions there really is no reason to prefer one over the other except to express a philosophical point of view which will depend on your interpretation of history.

Thanks for sharing your experience. My career has drifted around a bit between IC and management, but I’ve always been highly technical. At the point (20 years in) I’m wondering what’s next, because up (Principal levels, directorships, etc.) hold little to no interest for me. I’d never really considered SE roles, despite having worked with great SEs for a long time, just because… no reason, just never thought about it. But at this point, the idea of helping a wide range of customers apply a known technology seems more appealing than the pure development work I’ve been associated with all these years.
May be you're right. I'm no expert. And I'm certainly not Craig to tell you just what their thinking was/is.

> Nobody has a crystal ball - you can't justify actions based on things that haven't happened yet.

Speaking of experts, see this piece by an Isareli historian Raz Segal (who's also a controversial figure, because nothing about this conflict is without controversy): https://jewishcurrents.org/a-textbook-case-of-genocide
I will be interested in results of a control group which did 90 minutes of weight training and cardio under similar conditions.
I don’t doubt at all that this has happened to you, but as a counterpoint, in 35 years in the industry, I don’t remember ever having been lied to by an interviewer at a company that ended up hiring me. Of course I have no way of knowing for sure about companies that didn’t hire me.

Framing things in a positive light? Sure, but that doesn’t require lying.

I’ve also never once lied to a candidate as an interviewer, nor have I ever been asked to lie. More the opposite: when my employers have addressed this question at all over the years, it has always been to tell people to be truthful with candidates.

Even leaving aside the ethical question, it would be a bad move: if I deceive someone into joining my team, I’m the one who will have to suffer through a working relationship with someone who knows I lied to them from the first moment they met me.

Edit to add: I’ve definitely been lied to by recruiters. Just never by peers or managers.
Yeah I’ve started cycling at least 5 miles every day and it’s very clear how quickly a bike ride will lift my mood. If things are bad the lift won’t last all day but it helps a lot.
As an extension of the argument the comment you're replying to was making:

Many (most?) intersections in the Netherlands have early detection systems that change the light _before_ the car reaches it.

But they didn't just do this for cars, they also do this for bikes. And public transit gets signal priority allowing buses and trams to almost always get green lights.

They've spent the money improving transportation of all forms, not just cars.

>the biggest changes that allow people more free time to spend with their children or otherwise, are technological ones.

The important bit to note here is the allocation of that gain in efficiency. I agree tech is the driver of the positive sum games we call the economy, but it's important to note that on top of technology we need a political apparatus that allocates the efficiency gain. Ie a 30% increase in productivity should yield not a 30% increase in profits but maybe a 5% increase and a 25% reduction of time spent doing labor or 25% increase in wages. Obviously the numbers are variable, but I thought it important to note this too.

>The billionaires aren’t blocking us.

People hoarding more wealth than BILLIONS combined aren't blocking us?

You can seriously, earnestly think, in your heart of hearts, that hoarding that much wealth for yourself doesn't deprive some other more worthy endeavor of resources??

>When electric lightbulbs came to the masses, it made some rich people even richer, but that’s not the important part.

Not THE important part, I can agree with you. But AN important part, still. It might not be sensible to accost the inventor of the light bulb for the effect of his invention, but it should always be carefully noted the above mentioned calculation of where the efficiency gain is allocated. Did allowance of working at night, doubling the possible working hours allow any reduction of labor or increase in wages? Or did it simply increase profit?

I agree the profit itself is not the problem, the billionaires themselves aren't technically the problem, merely a symptom of an ill designed allocation of the fruits of technology. But to act like 9 people hoarding more than billions of people combined isn't detrimental to any goal other than the enrichment of those 9? I name you silly, sir.

>Taxing billionaires won’t accelerate any of this.

I mean, if we JUST tax them and then burn the tax money we get from them, sure... But if we spend the taxes on the above mentioned goals... You somehow think they wouldn't be achieved quicker???
Right. Heated yoga sounds so nice, I feel like doing exercise or even just “doing nice things with a group” could have beneficial effects. It doesn’t mean heated yoga isn’t good, just that the takeaway could be more broad.
Yes they buried the caveats at the very end of the article. They don’t know whether effects are specific to hot yoga or exercise in general.

My experience is that 30 mins of vigorous exercise at least 3 days per week has huge benefits on overall wellbeing - including mental health. The caveat there is that diet has to be tuned to support your level of activity. If you are exercising and not eating enough, low blood sugar can bring on the bad feels / thoughts.
The reason why I spent 3/4 of my post on caveats was because I didn't want people to read my post as claiming that FSD was safe, and instead focus on my real point that the unthinkable numbers from the video aren't actually unthinkable anymore because Tesla has a massive fleet. You're right, though, I could have spent 5/6 of my post on caveats instead. I apologize for my indiscretion.
Many people think it is a conspiracy theory. I believe it’s the source of so much that ails our regulatory system. I was hoping to spark a conversation with people who both agree and disagree with as little effort as possible. Seems my ambiguity and or brevity earned me nothing but down votes.

That doesn’t sound like good people. A few bad apples…, as they say.
Ive been playing with embeddings lately for document search based off queries/questions. this makes it seem like they work great, but it hasn't been very smooth for me.

I kept running into people recommending against using them for long documents? Is openai better then the models sentenance-transformers uses? I found some recommendations to average together the embeddings of parts. I guess its cutting edge-ish still, a lot still feels like you can have a cool demo quickly, but something reliable and accurate is a lot of work?
A better study would be:

1) Control group with nothing (the 'waitlist' group) in this study

2) Hot Yoga

3) Hot, no yoga (sauna?)

4) Yoga, no hot

5) Other cardio/weight training

edit: not sure I'm being snarky enough. This study is worthless, anyone familiar with depression would have predicted the group with any exercise-related intervention would do much better than the control.
