> A sawtooth waveform has infinite harmonics

This is only true if you consider the waveform to be a sine series. As I indicated, this is a perfectly legitimate way to think about a sawtooth (and indeed, it appears to be fundamentally how the human ear works too).

But a sawtooth waveform is also nothing more than a very sharp rise/drop in air pressure followed by a longer drop/rise, repeated over and over again.

If you want to synthesize a sawtooth wavefrom with analog equipment, then thinking of it as an (infinite) sine series makes sense, because that's how you will end up approximating the (perfect) sawtooth.

However, digital synthesis does not require this sort of conception at all, and can be constructed without any summing of a harmonic series.

Also, I find it assuming that in the comments of a post about nyquist, you would write

> a bunch of stuff about sounds and pressure waves that I don't think had the effect you intended. I think you lost the plot somewhere along the way.

What do you the plot is?
Smoke(/fire in general) alarms are not a good example of a thing with high specificity. You perceive it that way, but what you see is the result of somebody getting paged about it and then checking (preferably physically, but also through eg. CCTV) whether there really is an emergency situation and canceling the alarm before its escalation timeout. Apparently, for typical commercial building false fire alarms are more or less an weekly occurrence.

Edit: in large scale fire alarm systems there also are rules about combinations of triggered sensors that cause immediate escalation (if there is smoke and elevated temperature in two adjacent zones, it probably is not a false alarm and such things, often it even takes into account the failure modes of the physical alarm loop wiring). This is an interesting idea for IT monitoring: page someone only when multiple metrics indicate an issue.
YES!!! This is what I want most too! We will be adding this soon.
Does she even have any considerable assets? Fleeing the country and living like a queen in Bahrain is totally different from fleeing the country and needing to work for a living still.
It’s sort of funny to me that if you go back to the timeshare computer systems of the 70s, everyone took for granted that you logged into the “network” and then the access you had depended on the permissions your user had. Today, we log into our computers and then we spend lots of time every day juggling credentials for the third party services we use. And, to make it worse, companies expect you to use various SaaS apps for day-to-day life and then block (or the apps just don’t provide) all the means to automate repetitive tasks.

Second one is actually the official ! It indeed added some literary flair, but this flair does not have such presence in the original french text, as it is a modern and experimental work of literature.

The word property encompasses more than just what sales tax laws apply to, no? For example, I'd consider an old-school physical stock certificate a kind of property, and subject to theft laws but not sales tax.

As far as classifying it more specifically, I don't have strong opinions. Gensler says BTC is a commodity and ETH is a security--that sounds fine to me, ship it. I'll let the regulators regulate.

I'm just pushing back against this idea that private sector money must exist outside of the law and outside of the justice system—because the anarchy approach is clearly absurd.
Honestly just an obvious way to get out of the login dialogue would've made the experience different. I am excited about this idea but when I went and got stuck in that login screen after clicking customize, before even trying to scan the QR code, I was discouraged and left. Appreciate your response!

Being able to try it without signing up would be cool but I'm not here to tell you how to run your business I just didn't like the pattern that got me stuck staring at a black screen with a white sign up box in the middle and wouldn't let me do anything else.

I think "is X the next Twitter" is the wrong question to ask.

When I started working at Twitter (now years ago) my relatives asked me if they should join. And after thinking about it, my honest answer was "no". The only person who needs to be on Twitter is somebody who wants to feel like they're part of a global conversation. Most people just don't and won't.

Twitter is only successful because it started in an era where that was a novel and appealing idea, and because it developed a critical mass of users. Both traditional participants in that conversation (journalists, politicians, media personalities, etc) and new ones (like dril) came on board. It is now gradually losing that critical mass.

These days there are just too many options tuned to too many sets of needs. Mastodon will get a chunk of those people, as will existing social media properties. But I don't think we'll ever again see a global groupchat at the scale of Twitter. Assuming Musk persists in running it into the ground, I think in a decade's time Twitter will be in that bucket with MySpace or SixDegrees, one of those early-internet things that people remember with varying degrees of fondness but would never go back to using.

Alternate theory: open source is destroying the future. In fact, significant progress is occurring from concentrated capital investments made by public entities or corporations, and development slows down or regresses once open source alternatives become available. The likelihood of open source piracy occurring decreases the overall desire for coordinated, large scale technology development.
This is one of the reasons why we need Open Source infrastructure in countries that are not controlled by media owners.

This limits simultaneous writes to the maximum number of open file handles supported by the OS. I don’t know what that is, but I don’t see how it can compare to a multiple multiplexed TCP/IP sockets.

When you’re writing billions of messages per day, I don’t see how a file system scales.
This also occurs when dealing with channel-level protocol exceptions, so this behavior is doubly important to get right. I think one of the hard parts here is that the client needs to be aware of these events in order to ensure that application level consistency requirements are being kept. The other part is that most of the client libraries I have seen are very imperative. It's much easier to handle retries at the library level when the client has specified what structures need to be declared again during a reconnect/channel-recreation.
I'm also thinking about skin exposure. Fortunately glass optics are at least opaque to the most dangerous bands of UV, but not to retinal blue, which has its own special place in the regulations.
I have a drain on my VW Caddy Maxi but had it booked in already for a leisure battery and solar install. When the solar finishes charging the leisure battery the starter battery is then charged.

"We don't need to wait around for a court to indict a person for "being a crazy homeless person". That's insanely reductive to the point of absurdity."

They would be arrested based on the crime they commit, such as assault. Then the court would make a determination on their insanity plea.

Adultery and sodomy have been crimes in most civilization of history too. That doesn't mean we convict people based solely on the spirit of the law, nor ignore the principle of innocent until proven guilty.
I got banned from Twitter for tweeting that I would commit suicide if I were still programming in Java after the age of 50. I appealed, and I got rejected by a bot (I know because my appeal was rejected instantaneously). So I think Twitter is stupid. Also, Elon is stupid.

You can solder carefully without adding flux. Or you add flux and it erases all mistakes before you make them. There's no need to make it more challenging when flux is available.
I think what's most important is to work out what you find valuable and useful about VR and to direct your attention toward that, because there's clearly some uses that you believe will be important. If you have some brilliant ideas for developing something, then get on with implementing some of them and people at companies will be interested in your work and approach. Asking here where's best for your career isn't likely to give useful answers.

VR to me seems stalled because there's not much in it that people can't get by just looking at screens. The Metaverse seems stalled because people just aren't very interested in it, or what it adds over what they already do – it's currently just Zuckerberg playing out his fantasy of being Hiro Protagonist plagiarised from Neal Stephenson. It seems like people outside of his immediate circle aren't buying it, particularly because they screwed up the initial implementation so hard.

If kids playing games on their PlayStations and Xboxes suddenly find some brilliant use case for it, then it'll take off like wildfire. Given they sit or stand three feet from field-of-vision-filling 72inch LED TVs while playing already, it seems like they aren't going to need headsets to get that effect.

I don't see how this addresses my counterexample.
It's the sort of thing I would expect on a highly opinionated Hacker News (iirc like how posts about Apple have a penalty applied to them to counteract massive usual interest in them), but less so on something more general audience like Twitter.

I'm not really looking to twitter to say "Actually, we've all heard a bit too much about Tennis". I don't want Twitter's timeline to have an editorial voice.

The fear of investors and, to some extent, Google, is that LLMs will supplant traditional search and by the time enough people are catching on to affect metrics the momentum will be too great to stop. My experience with LLMs has not led me to believe that is all that likely but opinions differ there.

> Design is how it works, not how it looks.

After over a decade of people jumping into these discussions with this line, I’ve gotta push back: Design is also how things look, and how things look can be important.

Consumers care about how things look. If we dismiss presentation and drive people towards UX stuff every time it comes up, then the people we talk to are going to end up having good ideas that no one buys because the packaging is a mess.

Yes: If you have a pretty modal but it can’t be dismissed by clicking outside of it, that’s Bad Design. But when you’ve hammered in all those errant nails and built something that works well, often you look at it and go “I wish it weren’t so ugly”. And we do need books/resources to give people the building blocks they need to make an app that people will agree is “basically good-looking”. (And then hopefully more advanced books/resources about particular styles so people can develop their own stylistic voice)

Yahoo used to pay for that, and to package the Yahoo Toolbar pretty much everywhere. I remember when it used to try to install itself with MySQL. I'm sure it helps, for a while, until it suddenly doesn't.
Short, choppy sentences, lots of second-person, dropping a "punch-line" sentence to its own paragraph like they're a fucking magician revealing the card you pulled earlier. It's some kind of cross between transparent rapport-building sales-psychology crap and setting off a fireworks display to celebrate your successfully assembling a PB&J.

The code portion of the book can be found at Tailwind UI. I personally have the Application UI license, and I'm going to upgrade to full access soon. It's 100% worth the cost if you are building out component libraries and repeatable work.

For some applications, like an API-driven backend made to serve other applications, you can consider that the API itself really is your UI. It's how your users interface to your code. Your users just happen to be other developers whose code had it's own UI too, maybe a text or graphical one or maybe another API.

> The starting point is essentially the classic simple moog model with some extra stuff and I add in bits between those blocks to mimic the interactions while comparing it to various digital models of the filter, spice simulations and the real deal.

Yup, there are two main philosophies: start from a very accurate (e.g. SPICE) model and simplify it enough that it runs in real-time or start from a simple model (e.g. biquad) and add nonlinearities as required.

If you want talk more about the other approach, I just added an email in my profile. ;)
As a designer (and former developer) my objection to this is semantic. It's not possible to design beautiful UIs without a designer. The reason is: the designer was you all along. If you are doing design, even half-heartedly, even without knowing it, you are the designer.

The relevant questions when it comes to "beautiful UI" are: do you give a shit, and do you have the skill to execute on giving a shit. Most people don't, thus the profession.

This book seems to assume the former is true, and wants to give some quick tips on how you can fake the latter. I'm skeptical of this approach, in the same way I'd be skeptical of someone who said "here are 10 tips to make a good program without learning to program". Skeptical, not offended.

I'm interpreting the word "beautiful" generously. Beautiful in the same way an equation or algorithm can be beautiful: not just — or even primarily — esthetic, but beautiful in the sense of doing what it's meant to do about as well as can be done. Beauty, truth; truth, beauty, etc.

Design is very interesting. I always saw it as a part of engineering: both are interested in finding the optimal solution given a set of constraints and requirements. The tool chain is different, granted. To me, it's fun, and not something I'd want to skip over. See giving a shit, above.

Foreign key references usually can't be "broken" in any system where "foreign key references" make actual sense, namely RDBMS systems: that's the guarantee they provide by definition.

Sure, there are databases that might misappropriate the term, but as an engineering community, we should not let that slide.

It's obvious that velocity at Twitter is not about being as fast as safe today: it's simply about being fast.

I don't think that's necessarily the wrong approach from an engineering outcomes perspective (iow, it can work well with an early phase product with early adopters), but it is sure to alieniate most of the existing userbase, when that userbase was the one thing Twitter had going for it.

Look, this story is stupid. It was a 3-leg trip she speculatively booked while appealing her sentence. If she was genuinely trying to flee the country, she would not have booked a 1-way flight months ahead of time.

She can afford a round trip ticket, bought at the airport on the day of departure. Or fled across the Mexico border. Or smuggled herself out on a boat. There are SO MANY ways to flee the country that are not shouting "HEY FYI TO THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT — I'M LEAVING FOR A BIT".
Siri was launched with a server-based approach. It wouldn't be surprising if Apple's near-term LLM strategy would to put a small LLM on local chips/MacOS and a large model running in the cloud.

having worked in shops alongside automatic welders its a toss-up at best. See vendors like Fanuc and Motoman will say just about anything to get the bid for a process automation contract. 50k cycles per hour? sure. maintenance period every 25 years? why not. seamless switching between pulsemig, pulseGMAW and cupped tig? you know it. Vision system? it can see through time buddy, this robot does eeeverything.

the problems start when your shop retools without a cycle time analysis, makes small tweaks to existing metal profiles without updating the bots, or finds out robots aren't magic money saving golems. for me its been the last one because every shop Ive been in will literally run an autowelder until the teeth in the gears sound like an empty bag of cheetos and the tool path leaves about an inch of over-weld and spatter. the overweld and quality issues get the grinder treatment from a line worker whos pulled out to do lots and lots of reworks so your cycle time is now bob's cycle time. now eventually the setup to pulsemig wont make sense anymore or nobody can remember how to switch it to GMAW or a customer needs a mig joint so more tweaks happen until your $250k bot is now just a pneumatic arm that shoots metal boogers at a joint and sends it to rework.

no shop wants to spend money on a programmer or mechanical maintenance unless the machines literally swinging around in a fiery puddle of its own hydraulic.
A low pass filter at 2hz would filter out the high frequencies contained in a sawtooth waveform, thus rendering a 1hz sine waveform.

To accurately sample a 1hz sawtooth waveform, you'd have to filter/sample at a much higher frequency.

There's also what society values. While I'm no art historian, it looks that after the invention of the camera, painters shifted to different styles that were not replicable by cameras (e.g. landscapes and portraits to abstract), and high society began valuing the new art, while continuing to value the old, the new shifted aesthetics.

I think that as we're progressing into a world where anyone can press a few buttons and get a dubstep banger in 30 seconds, culture will place higher value on different types of expression and experiences.
