I don't have experience with contracts (or the lack thereof) in Hollywood, and that's interesting to hear.

One guess is that it might be a relatively small community where the same people and companies do business with each other over and over. In a community like that, some of the jobs that contracts do in other industries might be done through norms and relationships.

I enjoyed "Why Trust Matters" by Ben Ho (https://www.amazon.com/Why-Trust-Matters-Economists-Guide/dp...) and it talked about a sweet spot where contracts shouldn't try to over or under-specify the deal in order to optimize for trust. I'm sure that some industries, like Hollywood, have less laid down in contracts than others.

If you're open to it, I'd love to hear more about how you've seen this work in Hollywood.

Also it downranks ads but you show an ad in the results? "Upgrade to increase speed and quality of AI summaries"
You do see signs saying tune in to XXXX Hz to hear information about road construction, air port traffic, etc.
If you make marketing pre-1800s, with people branding their widely distributed amphorae, making ads and so on as drastically different than modern techniques, you'd have to also consider engineering drastically different. Also, the idea of surviving a visit to the doctor is a pretty novel modern concept.

This comment is unusually well known. If you google the url wrapped in quotes, you'll see it referred to as "the famous/infamous dropbox comment".

It's become something of a symbol for how hackernews commenters sometimes confidently miss the appeal of products/services. It's relevant here because the Push 3 doesn't compete with iPads on processing power.
Counter point to this, is that centralized mass media enabled early 20th century fascism and communism to thrive. Hitler's head of propaganda, Goebbels, supplied subsidized radios to the Germans and used it to funnel propaganda into German households at the speed of light. Goebbels had this to say about it:

"It would not have been possible for us to take power or to use it in the ways we have without the radio....It is no exaggeration to say that the German revolution, at least in the form it took, would have been impossible without the airplane and the radio. ...[Radio] reached the entire nation, regardless of class, standing, or religion. That was primarily the result of the tight centralization, the strong reporting, and the up-to-date nature of the German radio....Above all it is necessary to clearly centralize all radio activities, to place spiritual tasks ahead of technical ones,...to provide a clear worldview"

While a decentralized internet may host extreme views in certain pockets, it also enables a diversity of viewpoints to be expressed, which more often than not serve to regulate those in power as well as inform those without.
I think the implication is that MS went out of its way to make windows not compatible with others (or just appear to be by throwing bogus messages from xor encrypted obfuscated code).

E.g., MS windows 3.1 running in a window under Desqview ran faster than Windows 3.1 running natively. This was presumably embarrassing for Microsoft. Microsoft removed the operating mode that windows ran in that was supported by Desqview in Windows 3.11. Perhaps there were legitimate reasons for this feature removal, but breaking compatibility with a competitor's product would only be seen as a benefit by MS management, and is plausibly the exclusive reason for removing the feature.

The linked comment is something of an in-joke on Hacker News. BrandonM famously provided some quick, critical feedback on a Dropbox announcement. Dropbox of course went on to see a lot of success.

It's an extremely accurate proxy for commercial baking, so if you thing any language without a commercial entity behind it isn't serious, yeah, you'll get that conclusion.

Question: Does fp16 provide more accuracy than mixed-precision? If so, any reason for this to be happening?

Looking at the discussion, everybody is agreeing to the fact that it is already well-known that fp32 is overkill and fp16(or bf16) is already industry standard(for most cases at least). But any opinions on mixed precision floating point is seems to be missing. Has anybody seen benchmarks that seem to indicate that mixed-precision fp performs worse than fp16 and fp32,(other than the paper)?

That's the thing right, once in a few decades the % of population shifts of each community is enough at that point of time everyone will want importance to be given to their community for naming bridges, roads, buildings or products. And then the receding majority cannot concoct rules saying that things have to be secular & accommodating just because they're starting to get uneasy. Just look at the current state of affairs when you have fake gurus/religious leaders from all religions inaugurating tax payer funded institutions or projects, being given jungle tours at midnight or permission to construct tourist attractions over forest land. If it was someone from another religion asking the same permission or doing things like that it would have met with objections & laws that are actually in place to prevent such things...

My girlfriend browses Reddit often so I’ve had the chance to see how a self-proclaimed heavy user interacts with the platform. After seeing that, it makes sense to me why the platform is how it is when compared to isolated forums or discussion boards.

Reddit has two types of users, more or less: browsers and posters. The browsers will probably never post anything, or will post so rarely that it does not warrant mentioning. The regular posters will dominate the discussion in a given subreddit, and probably eventually moderate it, so there is a very strong in-group effect. The only way as an outsider to penetrate that in-group is to make well-liked, popular quips which pander to the moderators and browsers.

On the contrary, a forum or discussion board typically has two classes of users, in my experience: active posters who contribute to discussions they want to, and lurkers, who are usually new, and are absorbing from current posters. There is an implicit assumption that users have probably been watching the forum for a while to get a lay of the land before posting and have read through a good amount of the site’s content, and when they post, they are accepted since they are aware of the conversation and can build on it.

The culture of lurking and the desire of viewers to discuss topics with others is what keeps forums strong, IMO. In their place, Reddit has casual browsers who happen to see content and upvote it (effectively deciding democratically what others will see). When a large portion of users who have no intention to engage with others can dictate what their fellow members are most likely to see, it quickly degenerates to a “who can make the coolest comment” club.

I think a few readings of The Mythical Man Month would show that man-scaling falls flat very fast. This is why organizations look for the mythical 10x developer or the 'most skilled' person they can, because the individual can get far more done without the inter-communication limits that humans present.

Well, in my company it worked different way. Being female, even average looking one was an instant advantage (with the exception for overweight/obese ones). Seven times of ten female would be hired over equally qualified male (which doesn't mean our company is predominately female, there's simply not that many women in the IT, so they are small minority of the candidates).

Simply put: it seems that our teams preferred to have at least one female member, just to keep things interesting.

I suppose I'd call it a video sharing platform. "Social media", to me, has an implication of media that is shared within a social circle. Facebook is social media because the intention is to share information with friends and family. No one is posting on FB hoping to have it go viral and make a pile of cash off it.

TikToc is content creators sharing their videos with the whole world.
Let's not forget Google maps, which already integrates other ride share platforms.
Probably a mix of both. China is a growing liability, and there is increasing political pressure to both diversify and onshore manufacturing.

Obviously people are abusing non-free software and centralized web services both to spread propaganda and to separate parents from their kids. People not involved in the industry have an extremely difficult time articulating what they experience there though.

I completely disagree. Outside of the top maybe tenth percentile of focused/competent people smartphones are a net negative. They're practically designed to be. I don't own one for that reason.
Thanks for responding. At first glance it seemed like a smart contract solution. Good luck!
Yep, I love my nord for the same reasons as you (and also the excellent b3+leslie emulation on the electro/stage). I stare at a screen all day so when it comes to practice or playing gigs I prefer it over midi + laptop/ipad. That being said, I don't want to discourage anyone from going the laptop route. You gain a ton of flexibility and if you already own the laptop it's way cheaper to get started. It's all just preference at the end of the day.

Disney is designed to extract maximum value from its properties and has always done so. The long string of sub par Remakes of classic films alongside Marvel and Star Wars is exactly the same things as their long line of direct to video sequels to more popular films. Cash grabs like “The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea” or “The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning” have always been part of the formula because on average their profitable. There isn’t long term damage to the brand because they are so forgettable.

Give it 25 years and Disney can cycle a new generation through the next set of major Star Wars (etc) films as people will have forgotten about their flops and only recall their favorites fondly.

Meanwhile hundreds of millions more will have gone to their parks which make a billion dollars per year in profits. It’s crazy how wildly successful those things are.
Yawn. No monetary system works on 7 transactions per second either, this is why we now have Lightning and people are doing something about it, instead of repeating the same tired, exaggerated arguments.

I find it disturbing how engineers in here can only claim for the prohibitionism of an inefficient yet radical technology. This ain't no hacker spirit.
My take is you need to do more work on the value proposition.

My first take is that I can compute embeddings with one line of Python using sbeet.net and from there it is an automated process, I have a script that generates embeddings for 80,000 documents that runs every day and I barely think about it.

I think of GUI and I think somebody has to click through 80,000 documents to do this same and to get the same throughout I’d have to raise venture capital and hire an army of people to go click… click… click… That is it takes something easy and scalable and makes it difficult and expensive, It makes me think if the text retrieval experiments that Salton did with documents on IBM cards in the 1960s.

I know there is more to it than that, this simple approach is not so simple when you consider chunking and other choices that could make a big difference but i still think there would be some programming language function that takes a document and gives an embedding but some kind of suite to determine the parameters of that function (on the level of a document collection not individual documents) could be quite useful but I think a lot of people will want something that doesn’t have many knobs to turn.

It's true. This meta-analysis was posted a while back on HN with this key quote:

"In social media research, we focus on “how much social media did a person consume?” and we plan our experiments accordingly... Most don’t even distinguish between platforms, as if Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and TikTok are just different kinds of liquor. "

Like I wrote in a comment back then, it's like blaming "computers" or "the internet". Vague to the point of useless.

I'm fully on board with keeping AM radio around. I think it's immensely valuable. But considering that the FCC has already eliminated a number of very valuable things through frequency deallocation, I think we need to face up to the real possibility that AM radio is next in line for the chopping block. It's a real shame, but here we are.

I advise people to get a shortwave receiver. They're inexpensive, and are actually even better in emergency situations.
> How would they eliminate congestion when they're so space inefficient? Even if they're more efficient at traffic flow, there's only so much physical capacity on the roads that people want to travel on.

Sure, but that's not the limiting factor at all, which you'd understand if you bothered to do the slightest bit of research outside of your comfort zone.

> And a lot don't and aren't given that option.

That's very true, but it's not one-or-the-other. I am a strong supporter for intensive funding of mass transit systems....for those who want to use them. But that doesn't preclude continued usage of cars.

> massive parking lots taking up valuable space that can be put to much better use

"better" is in the eye of beholder. Car users are generally okay with how space is currently allocated.

If you want change towards increased mass transit, I highly recommend not being hostile about it. There is no need for mass transit to be positioned as a replacement for car use. When you threaten peoples' way of life, that's how you get people actively working against you.

It should come as no surprise that I'm a huge fan of getting around by car, but I would still happily have my tax money go towards bolstering mass transit systems and walkable/cyclable infrastructure for the portion of the population that wants to commute that way.

How are you going to look into a secret agreement yourself?

What the original aim of the agreement is somewhat unknown, but the Snowden documents revealed multiple examples of spying on each others civilians and sharing the results. Such as, https://web.archive.org/web/20140125021330/http://uk.reuters...

You've never heard anything like this because it's the intelligence agencies responses to the Snowden documents. They're usually mentioned in the same articles but nobody really buys their excuses.

What I think GP meant is that [a]synchrony is a property of how one locally handles the need to "wait" for something, and if the protocols being spoken are do not impose order then this is really evident. E.g.,

A: do thing #0 (no wait)
A: do thing #1 (no wait)
A: do thing #2 (no wait)
B: thing #1 result
A: do thing #3 (no wait)
B: thing #0 result
B: thing #3 result
A: do thing #4 (no wait)
B: thing #2 result
B: thing #4 result

In this example A reads responses from B but never sits idle while "waiting" for those responses.

At some point A might need to "block" waiting for all the results for extant requests. What does "block" mean? It could mean: not sending any more requests, not allowing the user to initiate more requests, not being responsive in the UI, and probably more.

A could also speak the same protocol synchronously:

A: do thing #0
A: <wait>
B: thing #0 result
A: do thing #1
A: <wait>
...

Assuming this protocol does not impose ordering, then, the [a]synchrony property is purely local to A.

Even if order is required, A might do other things "while waiting" for responses from B, and that... might be asynchrony. In the traditional Unix single-threaded process model A might block but the system continues to be responsive because the kernel is not synchronous even if A is, and so the kernel can schedule other processes while A "waits" -- but no one would say that A is async in that case, nor would anyone say that the whole system is async either unless A's functionality were spread over multiple processes in such a way that the UI (or whatever) has an "async feel".

In reality we might have blocking behaviors even in fully async cases like the first one above owing to flow control, but even there the meaning of "blocking" will depend on what A does when B can't receive more messages due to flow control: A could transmit backpressure to whatever is causing A to generate messages to B, or A could stop generating messages to B, or A could stop being responsive in its UI, or...

I believe this is what TFA was getting at: that the meanings of these words (blocking, waiting, asynchronous, etc.) are somewhat fuzzy. Still, when someone says "let's do this asynchronously" I know what they mean, at least for the purposes of the discussion in which it comes up -- in actual design and implementation, once again, the meaning may vary, but the intent is still the same! The intent of doing things asynchronously is to amortize latency and better utilize local resources.
