Of course you can see "through" a looking glass (mirror) - you will see yourself. That's what they are for - direct reflection.

"Through the looking glass" involves physical movement via a mirror and that is science fiction or fantasy or both (pick your genre or hit the drugs!) When I want to verify I have shaved fully, I look through a mirror, which is not a sight for the nervous ... first thing in the morning!

There are half silvered mirrors and you can get a similar effect with a window, where you can see yourself and what lies beyond at the same time.

I think one difference is that human TAs can, theoretically, be held accountable for their reliability whereas a holding a LLM accountable is a little more difficult.
Glenn Fiedler is the best blogger on game networking. We used your stuff to guide our netcode development ~6 years ago. We now have a great stack on top of Godot for multiplayer games on the web over webrtc or websocket and enet on mobile and native.
We're a small time company (3 people) and we have several multiplayer games..our netcode is a serious competitive advantage largely due to unity's failure to provide a system to our competitors.

Thanks for helping us, Glenn.

> the utility of gambling (the expected return over time) is negative, and the utility of investment is positive.

No, actually, if you include non-monetary benefits, both expected utilities (gambling and insurance) are positive (at least if the gambler is rational and only bets amounts that are more than compensated for by the entertainment value involved), but if you don't, if you only consider monetary costs and benefits, both expected utilities (gambling and insurance) are negative. So insurance is not an investment in the financial sense, where the expected monetary utility alone is supposed to be positive.

It's been an incredibly useful pattern for me in game development. I have a hard time imagining making a game with any level of complexity without it. You can definitely go overboard with it, but I have a hard time even imagining how some systems like collision detection/a physics engine could even work without it.
> Especially when it seems really hard to enforce a schema / do migrations

Enforcing the schema isn't too hard ime. But every migration needs to be bi-directionally compatible. That's likely what they meant with "you need an architect and can't make major changes later on"

It's the same issue you've had with nosql, even though you technically do have a schema
I was actually only using Premiere because I needed to work on a project that had been edited in Premiere, otherwise I’d use Avid (which is its own brand of hot garbage but that’s a different story).

Resolve is not bad, but unfortunately it can be a bit overwhelming for a novice editor, and it has some other interesting quirks that can make it a less suitable choice depending on what you’re doing. Still, I would definitely recommend trying it over Premiere at this point.
Reelze: Convert long videos into viral clips
Hello Hacker news community, I am Otman and I am the founder of Reelze.app. Reelze repurpose long format videos into +10 short clips . It also generate social media post with the hashtags to make the post more engaging .

I build this using Three Models . First model is an active speaker detection that cut the video into 9:16 aspect ratio and make sure the face centered in the frame. Second model is Whisper model from OpenAi that get all the transcript from a video and then add the subtitles. Third model repurpose the long video into piece of clips depend on the subject in the video . This we will help content creators, Marketers or any one who want to go viral on social media . Give it a try and all I want is your feedbacks. Thank you Hacker news community
Indeed! I most often see it used in the context of apologists defending an organization's history by hiding people for looking at history with their current values. These apologists tend to miss the cases where their defended org was also seen as abysmal by people concurrent to their own time.

As a modern example, almost everyone sees Epstein as a purveyor unmitigated corruption. Imagine in 200 years people defended him because in 200 years sex trafficking is also horrible.

Having insurance is gambling, but not having insurance is also gambling. This is because life itself is a gamble. We don't know what the future holds and we have the choice to insure or gamble on just about any aspect of our lives.

Insurance companies are just like casinos in that the math always favours them if you look at a sufficiently large sample size. Even so, some things are still worth insuring. e.g. Your house. Most people do not have enough assets saved up to replace their house should it burn down. Even though your house will likely not burn down, protecting yourself against the loss of something you can't easily afford to replace is worth spending money on.

Does it make sense to insure things you can replace though? Consider the "Instant product replacement" plans that stores constantly try to sell you. If your monitor dies you can easily absorb the cost of buying a new one. If, instead of buying IPR's on everything, you set aside a similar amount of money, you'll likely soon come out far ahead. Even if you don't, you'll still be able to afford it. Buying IPR's means, on average, you lose money. Not buying IPR's means, on average, you'll save money. The choice is easy.

Insure the big, vital things you can't afford to replace. Treat insuring small things as gambling without the fun.

This is pretty comical. Do we really think doing a kind of news blackout where nothing interesting ever happens in China is going to alter the reality behind the curtain?

From what I understand the Chinese are masters at retooling. They can overnight go from maximizing paperclips to making ski lifts in the same factory.

Their chip making effort is focusing on technology several years old, the kind that makes up 80% of the market.

Meanwhile back at the lab they are doing photonic chips where the major difference is that unlike in the west (where great research ends with a published paper and decades of radio silence) they very much look at their findings from a practical perspective. The optical circuits aren't going to collect dust on some shelve, they are going to make them on a massive scale in the next 2-5 years, they will be much much faster, cheap and come in insane volume.

They didn't want to but Bidden told them to do it and helped them along by creating favorable market conditions in China where they only have to compete with crappy western chips.

I also hear they do have cutting edge chips with garbage yields. The sanctions impact on military use will be minimal.
Enlightened means "agrees with me". You can tell how enlightened a commentary is based on how much I agree with it.
I work on an event-based architecture that I think is successful, but that’s because our core primitives are event-based, so there is no impedance mismatch in the way that there can be if you migrate from a request-response architecture to an evented one. Specifically, we aren’t trying to deal with databases and HTTP (both of which are largely synchronous primitives). Instead, I work on a platform for somewhat arbitrary code execution; and the code we are executing depends on our code rather than vice versa. In general, the code we execute on the platform can run for an indeterminate amount of time, and it generally has control and calls back into our code rather than our code calling into it. So our control flow is naturally callback-based rather than request/response; as a result, our system is fundamentally event-based.
This project doesn't seem to care whether I'm sending data to someone else right near us-east-1 or whether I'm sending data to Australia. The energy costs will be very very different.
Nah mate you'll need to continuiusly acquire new data to stay updated, otherwise tomorrow a genius artist comes up and if your model can't imitate her style, what a sad day?

If you have the resources to scrape the entire web and sanitize the data and fight the anti-AI arms race and retrain the model all the time and you do it alone just for yourself at home for the lulz then I guess knock yourself out, no one will mind. But a gaming computer from last decade alone probably won't cut it

There is often a third alternative: do not shoehorn it into something, nor rebuild what you have to fit this new thing, instead build the new thing on the side.

I sometimes have worked with engineers who believe they know what “the right way” is, or spend a lot of time trying to figure it out. And I have certainly worked on legacy systems persons like that have built. It’s not all fun and games.

The less we entangle things the easier it is to remove cruft when it is no longer needed.
I believe I said that insurance is gambling, not that all gambling is insurance. If not I apologize. So I should be covered by what I already said elsewhere, that buying insurance is betting (aka gambling) that a bad thing will happen sooner rather than later or never.

Now is all gambling insurance? Hmm. Maybe betting that something will happen is equivalent to insuring against its happening not financially benefiting you. Boom.

The Texas Instrument TI320C40 digital signal processor had even weirder pipeline issues:

- Branch delay slots (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delay_slot), where one or more instruction(s) after a branch would be executed before the branch actually occurred.

- Load delay slots, where values stored into registers weren't guaranteed to appear until some later instruction. I believe the the value in the register was undefined for several cycles?

> Presuming you mean ending with more money than you started, gambling isn't either.

That's true, but it doesn't mean insurance and gambling are the same thing.

> These are the same thing dressed in different names.

No, they're not. In gambling, I accept the risk involved in a wide variance in payoffs, for the entertainment value involved (since I can imagine that I might be a big winner); on net I am paying money for entertainment. In insurance, I transfer the risk involved in a wide variance in payoffs, for the peace of mind of not having to worry about being bankrupted if a rare but catastrophic event occurs; on net I am paying money for peace of mind (since I don't have to imagine that I might be a big loser).

> Consider term life insurance instead

But your next of kin only gets a payout if you die during the term. If you don't, nobody gets any payout and all the premiums you paid are lost. Which, since insurance companies make money selling term life insurance, is the expected average result. So on net, you do not make money buying term life insurance--but, as above, you might still do it if the peace of mind involved is worth it to you.

> your next of kin does just actually get a fat check.

But they are losing you--and even if we go to extreme cynicism about that, they are losing whatever income and other goods and services you provided, for which the check will hopefully be enough to compensate them. So it's not a pure gain with no offsetting loss, even leaving out the premiums paid.
No. The usual pains are:

- Producer and consumer are decoupled. That’s a good thing m right? Good luck finding the consumer when you need to modify the producer (the payload). People usually don’t document these things

- Let’s use SNS/SQS because why not. Good luck reproducing producers and consumers locally in your machine. Third party infra in local env is usually an afterthought

- Observability. Of rather the lack of it. It’s never out of the box, and so usually nobody cares about it until an incident happens

I use a ram pump at home to lift water 70 meters from the river to a reservoir. I have to adjust it a couple of times a year, but otherwise it’s a super effective way of keeping our water storage topped up.

I’m actually considering running a hydro generator off it in the winter, when the pond is largely maintained by a spring, and getting the energy back out. It’s only 100m3 or so of water, but allowing for efficiency losses, it’s the equivalent of a ~17kWh battery.
> But your next of kin only gets a payout if you die during the term. If you don't, nobody gets any payout and all the premiums you paid are lost.

Yes, aka gambling.

> But they are losing you

That is true AND it is not what you paid for. Just like health insurance isn't paying for health but rather for coverage of bills related to loss of health. Being healthy is a win for health but not a win for buying health insurance. Being alive is a win for living but not a win for buying life insurance.

It's not that it doesn't work at all, and it might even work pretty well in most apps.

The problem with non-integer scaling is the moment you run an app that has a custom UI element that thinks in pixels you start having to do ugly things.

There's a reason even Apple chose to implement their "Retina" displays by doubling the DPI compared to their predecessors. It makes backwards compatibility so much easier. All the system-provided UI elements can work at the new resolution while the custom elements get doubled unless they explicitly declare hiDPI support.

AFAIK if you use a non-Apple display on a Mac or set it to a non-standard scaling factor it's still implemented by using a virtual display resolution that's higher than the actual display resolution where legacy apps still get doubled and then the resulting image is scaled back down to the actual display which gets the best possible result at the cost of processor/GPU resources. Windows and Linux to my knowledge use "cheaper" but significantly uglier methods (also seen on Macs when using X11 apps).
