No but that isn't because of Lazarus itself but because "Netflix/FAANG" doesn't use it as what it does isn't really in their business interests. Lazarus is mainly about making desktop applications. It can do web, etc but it isn't really a focus and you lose most of the visual functionality anyway (yeah ok, you can set up URL routing via the object inspector and connect DB components together, but 99% of the work is done via code anyway so it doesn't provide something better than what you'd find in more popular tools).
Is there an alternative? If I want to build a flexible, high-quality, open whole-house audio system that my whole family can use without cursing my name, do I have any options?

It feels like there has to be a prosumer/low-end-professional product I can shoehorn into my house, kind of like how I've moved up from awful home network products to Ubiquiti gear over which I feel like I have some actual control (though their more recent UniFi products seem like a step backwards in that regard...)

The hackers ("hackers") made valid transactions.

The hard fork reversed those transactions.

No matter what fancy spin you put on it, that was absolutely a violation of the blockchain's integrity, as it violated the principle that accepted transactions can't be reversed after the fact, even if you call it an "irregular state-change" that just keeps things secure.

You can absolutely defend the position that this was best for the ETH ecosystem. But it was absolutely a reneging on the blockchain rules.
>the same size as it would be as a traditional matrix-based linear algebra

You can get it that small, it's all been done, but that's far larger than a quat, which can be stored in 3 components when normalized, and in 4 for quick and easy computation.

For large models and more importantly scarce GPU memory, increasing model size results in less complex models and slower computation.

There really is no benefit for 3D engines I can tell (and I was early on the GA bandwagon 20ish years ago... It just has not and I suspect will never pan out due to the inefficiencies not being worth it).
So I think a lot of us in this forum had the same thoughts. But we also know a plausible story for how this person got her access: The original access level was sufficient for 85% (let's say) of her duties, and after she went to the other person for what she needed the other 1/7 times, they gave her the broader access level so she could do her job without interrupting someone at a higher pay grade, or on a different floor.

Let me ask you: have you actually read the indictment against Assange that the DOJ has published?

You are aware he is alleged to have pointed Manning to which files to illegally obtain and offered to help her cover her tracks, right? These are real crimes — not, as you allege, for embarrassing the US government.
I'd argue that Microsoft, Google and Apple have enabled massive growth in technology. New uses for OSs, new places for them to run, and ways to make starting far more accessible/collaborative.

Even if there is 2 step forwards, one step back, the overall benefit of options available due to the vast number of people contributing their creativity is only possible due to these companies.

I did the same thing.

Used to hoard data, bookmarks, pdfs, etc.

Then I put all my data on an external drive and into some bin in the garage, deleted all my bookmarks and stopped saving them. And then realized... I don't need any of it. It's all just mental baggage.

Nowadays if I find an interesting article and don't have time to read it I might leave it open for a day, but then I just close it. I discover new interesting things to read every day, no need to bookmark something I probably won't ever get to.
No, it doesn't use 120W at the wall. 120W is the difference between wall consumption in the test and at idle, which is around 1.1x more than the actual consumption. Apple under-reports power usage for some reason.

Sure, Apple runs at half the wattage of the 3080, with less than half of the performance.

All of the video workloads are specifically using ProRes, which is the Apple accelerated codec. If you do not use ProRes, you will get a fraction of the performance. The Macbook only gets that performance in a fraction of video editing workloads.

Yes, all games are running on Rosetta 2, except for Dolphin which shows a similar performance ratio. This doesn't matter because GPUs don't have to deal with Rosetta, and the tests are done in GPU-limited circumstances. The performance impact is going to be negligible in a CPU-limited scenario where the CPU is not even running at 100% to be able to slow down the GPU.

The M1 Max is around the speed of the slowest 3060 in all compute workloads that aren't bottlenecked by CPU-GPU communication.

The fact remains, Apple straight up lied by saying that their GPU is comparable to a 3080. It is comparable to a 3060 in TDP and slower in all except specific, hardware-optimized workloads. There are other workloads that are accelerated in the 3060 where the inverse is true.

Also, a Quadro RTX does very well at Tomb Raider. Which isn't surprising because it has a lot of compute power, unlike the M1 Max's GPU, and games nowadays care a lot about compute power.

The benchmark between a 3060 and the M1 Max was not by Anandtech. It was by LTT, and was with a laptop whose processor and GPU are in the 1000$ class. And unlike Anandtech, they did all of their GPU benchmarks in GPU-limited conditions whereas the Anandtech benchmarks are CPU-limited too, artificially boosting the performance of the M1 Max by measuring it's CPU as much as it's GPU.

I don't understand why Apple gets to call their GPU as fast as a 3080 when it's slower than a 3060 unless you are running very specific hardare-optimized software that require a hardware-specific worfklow.

All of the benchmarks you linked are CPU bechmarks, and the Takua render benchmark is ridiculous because in the real world, artists use GPU rendering on their laptops, where the M1 Max gets absolutely destroyed by an RTX 3060 because of hardware-accelerated ray tracing.
This is a good question, but it's also kind of tricky because many (maybe most) social charities aren't really setup to tackle issues that can be solved without continuing money input. Let's take education in poor countries as an example - unless everyone stops having children or the underlying socioeconomic fabric changes significantly, you're going to have an effectively infinite number of children that need to be educated, and the only way to do that is to continue paying for facilities, teachers, materials, etc.

Other charities, like those that are setup to cure specific illnesses, can accomplish their mission on reasonable timeframes.

You are thinking like someone from an industry that went from a $5,543 (2020 dollars) Apple ][ in 1977 to a $999 MacBook Air in 2021. That's all thanks to solid engineering, innovation and a competitive landscape.

Now, for anything touching healthcare, you'll have to deal with The Cartel. You are going to get every legal challenge thrown at you by every instance of government (and The Cartel itself) before you can even think of helping your first patient.

You'll basically need a member of The Cartel to vouch for you, or train as one. To even get a chance of getting in, you need to accumulate at least 6 figures of debts and try to squeeze in one of the limited spots The Cartel opens up for new recruits. Then, after about a decade of classes (4 of them completely useless to you) and a few years of pointless hazing, you'll be given the privilege to price gouge yourself.

By then, I'm not so sure you'll want to democratize access, sadly.

I tend to entertain the notion that anyone posting publicly isn't posting solely for their own indulgence but to others' benefit as well.

insofar as making stuff goes, especially art, I think there are widely held views that it either comes easy to you, or you don't do at all. It doesn't occur to some people that to be good at something (even something "fun") you have to work at it and put in time that decidedly isn't fun.
Again, how do you define a shortage? Chip production is way above the 2019 levels. Moreover the utilisation of the fabs, new and old processes combined is much higher[1]. Semiconductor fab worker count is at all time high, 10% above 2019. Why isn't this excess demand (caused by too much free money) as opposed to a "shortage"?

Lots of stuff here…

>> Hospitals are 40% of the NH spending so I would even not look at doctors that way.

Hospitals are 30% and physicians are 20%

>> The market structure is such that there are very few doctors,

Agree. Add more medical schools and residency spots.

>> With a massive supply shock on doctors you would not only lower wages for doctors,

Yes, this is a good idea.

>> you would also lower admin costs.

Not clear that this is true or why it would happen.

>>One caveat, even though doctors wages are very high, they are also rent-captured by universities that charge mid six-digits for an education and medical insurance, and certifications that are burdensome and expensive.

Medical school debt may be high, but salaries are higher. Certifications are not likely a large obstacle to more entry, IMO.

>> I remember medical malpractice insurance going to several thousand a month for OBGYN.

There are plenty of “tort reform” states that cap malpractice payouts. Medical services are not cheaper there.

>> There is a reason why clinical doctors have an abnormally high suicide rate in the US.

Source needed on this claim. Might be true. I’m skeptical though. High relative to what?

>> Then hospitals get massive fed spending and money,

They do and certainly in the COVID stimulus bill that was a HUGE waste of public money.

>> plus often local protections that mean you cant open competing hospitals.

This is called “certificate of need.” These laws are dumb but don’t exist in 15-20 states at this point. More entry would be great, but you need more doctors, more competition and more price transparency too.

>> In the book " The Social Transformation of American Medicine" they talk a lot about how hospitals rent-seeking behavior is to turn themselves as a non-profit, and then ask for federal funding and getting that denied to for-profit hospitals, effectively capping the amount of hospitals you can open.

Certificate of need laws are state, not federal.

>> The WHOLE market structure needs a detonation.

I’m on board. But by detonation I really mean:
- more medical schools,
- more doctors, including permitting foreign doctors to practice here
- price transparency
- meaningful competition among hospitals on price.

>> And this is my desire/wish/prediction: at some point we will get an Uber for medicine.

Amazon is starting an Amazon Care product. Looks like urgent care for the time being. My hope is that they open hospitals eventually.

>> Americans will do most their telemedicine with doctors outside the united states, where education is free, there are not legal requirements or certifications or licenses, etc. This is what immigrants like myself do. A psychiatrist in argentina, for example, charges 5U$S for a visit, while one in Palo Alto, CA charges 1000U$S with a 3 month wait list.

Great idea and this is what my (foreign born) wife does too. A great way to save money.

For anyone else reading this far down, you can do it too. There are English speaking doctors everywhere.
Java is disgusting. So is all the stuff you just mentioned.
So you're describing your own behavior, not the typical consumer. I'm on my 10th cell phone since 1996. Most other consumers are about the same.
Let's say I'm a small mom and pop grocery store selling produce. I've been very cautious with my money and haven't taken out any loans, so I'm safe. But all the farmers whose produce I'm selling did because that's the only way to effectively run a farm. Now I have no inventory to sell. Am I still going to thrive?

The world is addicted to banks, and more specifically lending because that's how you convert future, uncertain payouts into steady, predictable capital that can be used to buy inventory, pay employees, make repairs, etc. To kick our bank addiction would be ruinous.

>could get us the conceptual advantage of GA with the performance of ordinary 3D linear algrebra

People have tried this for well over 20 years, and it has never once panned out. It's simply not possible, since the representation required for Clifford Algebras is simply larger than for a quat. C++ static typed engines with all the template magic, or even super optimized hand rolled GA engines, are simply not performant compared to the same effort on a traditional linear algebra one.

Look over the writings of the authors in the paper I linked - they're gods in the GA field, and they've tried for decades to get it to work, as have many others (I worked on it 20ish years ago too..).

Go ahead and reinvent it all. I suspect you'll eventually reach the same conclusion many have before.

Everyone here is dogging on Oracle, and they are justified probably, however I've been a user of the free tier for going on 7 months now. I run a few projects on an AMD instance and an Ampere instance, both fall under the Always Free tier (Ampere isn't "always free" but as part of Always Free, Oracle basically credits your account to the equivalent of 4xCPU and 24GB of RAM every 31 days.) I've never been charged anything, I don't even have a credit card on file for them to charge.

I will say that the documentation around their services is much worse than AWS. I oftentimes struggle to figure out where to configure things or which services to use. Other than that, it's been fine. If you're really looking for a free VM, I would say check it out.

One piece of advice I'd give is look at regions outside of the US. I selected their Toronto region and I've had zero issues provisioning new instances, whereas most people having trouble provisioning free-tier instances are in the more popular US regions.

Don't run your critical business apps on it. But perfectly usable for personal projects and learning the cloud without spending money.

> an integer overflow

Yes but I'm not sure that's the point. I see that point being, "a subtraction between hashes was used instead of a comparison". "Hash of value "a lot" minus minus-a-lot" overflows.

And a nonsensical behaviour of the other product created a large number of those hashes... Which represent PhoneAccounts objects. The software that triggered the bug created a new PhoneAccounts at every onResume (or similar)...

Ask HN: Best ways to re-organize local journalism?
Thoughts or original ideas to re-organize the small to medium sized newspaper business to better support local reporting and journalism? Local ad revenues have dried up or disappeared in the past 20 years mostly due to a combination of Facebook, Google, Amazon and Craig's list. What are alternatives or better ways to establish local non-profit newsrooms? Supplementing them with taxed-based incentives on subscriptions has been suggested, but are there other options?
It was by far the fastest compiler I'd ever used. A full 10x faster than their Borland C++ compiler, which was faster than gcc. Delphi didn't do as many optimizations, but the compiled code had runtime performance within a few percent of C, and the lightning fast compiles were worth it for productivity.

It doesn't surprise me to hear it was written in asm.
You certainly don't need modern PC power even for 4k video, though you may need it for doing realtime decompression of some very high compression codecs (but that isn't "watching 4k video", it is "doing realtime h265 decompression for 4k video" or something along these lines).

Though codecs are one of the few cases where you see hardware being taken advantage of because that is basically their entire purpose.
> It's obvious to everyone that neither Trump nor his supporters are oppressed, suppressed or censored in any meaningful way, and certainly not to the degree that they claim.

Well, I'm not a Trump supporter, and have no horses in the left/right race- however, it seems obvious to me that there is censorship involved, given Trump is literally banned from those platforms. Anecdata- the only time I ever saw anything Trump had to say was on Twitter, and since his banning, he might as well not exist in my own infosphere. It's amazing to watch the pretzels people tie themselves in trying to justify their ideology.
US healthcare is most definitely not free market.
Having seen the working conditions of testers in the video game industry I can say that:

> For doctors, that pay is well deserved given the exorbitant student loans that doctors carry, and the ridiculous shift length and other work related issues.

Is pure BS. Many professions end up carrying student loan repayment for decades and that isn't usually used as an excuse for increased pay - additionally there are plenty of professions (and folks working two jobs) that end up putting in more hours than doctors. These costs aren't describable using either of those causes.

Additionally, most hospitals are already technically non-profit organizations - it's just that administrators can end up having purely ridiculous take-homes. A single payer system probably is the solution but mostly because of the price setting and ease of billing - if you compare Canada to the US you'll notice that the Board of Physicians sets procedure and drug pricing provincially rather than being left up to a patchwork of random private corporations.

(As an aside, I'm both a Canadian-American dualie (American first - I emigrated to Canada) and I work in a company that tracks US Healthcare insurance information)
The wonderful Impro by Keith Johnstone has a memorable passage about Garbo, saying critics should have raved about her spine, not her face—because her instrument was really the whole body.

I was inspired to look up the quote:

Critics raved about her face: 'Her face, early called the face of the century, had an extraordinary plasticity, a mirrorlike quality; people could see in it their own conflicts and desires.' People who worked with her noticed that her face didn't change. Robert Taylor said: 'The muscles in her face would not move, and yet her eyes would express exactly what she needed.' Clarence Brown said: 'I have seen her change from love to hate and never alter her facial expression. I would be somewhat unhappy and take the scene again. The expression still would not change. Still unhappy, I would go ahead and say "Print it." And when I looked at the print, there it was. The eyes told it all. Her face wouldn't change but on the screen would be that transition from love to hate.'

Garbo had a stand-in who was identical to her, and who was said to have 'everything that Garbo has except whatever it is Garbo has'. What Garbo had was a body that transmitted and received. It was her spine that should have been raved about: every vertebra alive and separated so that feelings flowed in and out from the centre. She responded spontaneously with emotion and warmth, and what she felt, the audience felt, yet the information transmitted by the body was perceived as emanating from the face. You can watch a marvellous actor from the back of a big theatre, his face just a microdot on the retina, and have the illusion you've seen every tiny expression. Such an actor can make a wooden Mask smile, its carved lips tremble, its painted brows narrow.
