Is there a variation of FFT that works with square wave functions instead of sine waves?

It seems like for DSP it might be worthwhile to build something that works on discrete signals out of the box instead of approximating them with sine functions.
Then why do cities built around cars - that never had trains - still have central business districts? i.e. the entire south & west of the US, pretty much.
Easy: Just inject a scathing review of your CV instead.
No because having an image in your head is not considered a recreation of the work... it's not even remotely tangible.
I currently have 5 passkeys linked to my Google account for 5 separate devices allowing me to login to Google on any of them with the passkey created for that device.

Edit: Google also shows when each passkey was last used for each device in an audit trail as you describe.
Since this isn't the original source of this data, it's possible that this happened to the description contents at some point in the past. In which case it wouldn't be trivial to fix.

Against Intellectual Property (2022)
Well if you hate what the EU stands for I don't think there is any "evidence" that would sway you in any direction.

That people in Europe have concrete and non-trivial views about important matters is fairly evident if you simply check what kind of laws and regulations they are passing. So there is a distinct vision.

That there is plenty of research talent that is educated to cutting-edge level with citizen tax money is also pretty evident if you check who has been behind some important such AI "innovations". So there is also capability to execute on the vision.

The weakness of the EU is that it can't (not fast enough anyway) build the structures (internal markets etc) that will overcome nativist instincts. To accumulate the resources and critical mass where it is needed. Brexit made everything just a little bit harder.

The UK leaving the EU means, for example, that its cutoff from academic research networks. People are by now even studying this effect quantitatively [1]

Brexit also means that the entire financial system in the EU (which was very London centric) is in shambles. London as a financial center is declining [2] with implications for the shape of Europe's capital markets, the developments around new forms of digital finance, fintech etc.

So, yeah, go on with your livid denial of how disastrous that fateful decision.

Extracting value from LLMs is easier than you may think. In these examples, I used GPT3.5 and GPT4 to solve problems and make decisions in a simulated factory environment. I shared specific SOPs, tech specs, details of how to communicate with the Manufacturing Execution System (MES), the status of individual manufacturing assets, and the production schedule of multiple manufacturing sites with the LLM.
So if there was DALL-E but not trained on copyrighted data, that would be ok?

Previously you mentioned that a tool never solves a problem. Also you said that "whoever puts forward the problem can be credited with solving it". So it would indeed be the "AI artists" "creating" the images that deserve all the praise...

Google blocking you doesn't affect passkeys; you must be thinking of things like "Sign in with Google" where you must sign into Google to sign into another website.

The best thing about passkeys that's not available to traditional passwords is that you can have multiple passkeys that are equally valid, unlike the case with passwords where you can have but one single valid password. As someone who uses both Android and iOS frequently, I can set up passkeys on an Android and then an iPhone without needing to trust anyone (not Google, not Apple) to sync them. With that understanding I can address your concerns:

* If one phone is lost, I can use the other passkey to revoke that particular passkey.

* Even if Google blocks me so completely that my Android is remotely bricked by them, the other passkey still works.

* Migrating from one provider to another is trivial: I might be belaboring the point but you do not need the exact key material to be migrated, you only need a new equally valid passkey.
Arabs were open to other ethnicities and didn’t try to arabize them. This is apparent in Persia, Turkic countries, etc. The regions assimilating Arabic were regions which spoke Afro-Asiatic languages, from which Arabic also hails. Similar assimilation happened with Aramaic before it and Assyrian before that, even thousand of year prior to Islam.

Gig Busters Started its operation as of today
Gig Busters is a Worker Marketplace which is currently available in Toronto, ON, Canada. The startup funded in 2022 and launched its product in May 2023.
Gig Busters aims to match workers and customers through its matching platform. Given the labour shortage in north America, Gig Busters aims to target local workers, customers and local businesses to use human resources on a short time tasks.

why Ruby did (and wasn't a good idea): Ruby Conf 2011 Keeping Ruby Reasonable https://youtu.be/vbX5BVCKiNs

Consider where you can slip in a block invocation and the following code:

def mal(&block)
block.call
block.binding.eval('a = 43')
end

a = 42
puts a
mal do
puts 1
end
puts a

and that that means that you've got full access to be able to inspect and manipulate all of the variables in scope at the time of the invocation. While that example is rather obvious, it can be done much more subtly too.

The power of ruby to do meta programming and by extension some really neat DSLs also provides it with some dangerous tools that are otherwise rather difficult to track down.
Harnessing AI to make sense of California’s confusing HOA laws
Hi guys,

For my first AI project I decided to train a ChatGPT based language model on California’s HOA laws.

The site allows you to ask common questions you might have about state requirements and regulations surrounding HOA’s and common interest developments.

Being a board member of a 5 unit condo building, I’ve experienced the frustration first hand involved with parsing California’s Davis Stirling act to find answers to my questions.

Being this is very much a beta, and my first time dabbling with AI I’d love to hear any feedback HackerNews readers have to offer.
I use to with Supernatural on Quest2. It was cool and at the same time a huge pain in the ass. But there is something there for sure, the headset just needs to be like a pair of those lightweight wraparound sunglasses that baseball players wear and I would be shedding pounds.
The supreme court didn't say Warhol's work was without value. It said that Warhol's work was derivative of another work and that they could not maintain their alleged fair use defense based upon it being transformative, when it was being commercially used for the same exact purpose.

> You can create infringing works in your home to your heart's content because you are unlikely to get caught. But that doesn't mean that the infringement hasn't happened.

I don't think so.

Title 7 Chapter 1 Section 101. https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html

"Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include—

(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;

(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and

(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors."

---- Copying a work solely in your home is clearly not of commercial nature (factor 1) and has no effect on the market, since the item is not being sold (factor 4). It is almost certainly fair use and not infringement.
I don’t totally believe that remote work is going to go completely away . I think that personally for me never going into the office wasn’t really a great experience. It made me much more sedimentary (which in tech is almost a work hazard) but that was my fault . I do like being hybrid (but also the team I was a part of basically stopped existing) so while I think it could be a combination of working from home and the team imploding made me lonely.

I rather have the option to going to work and I think companies should still offer a solution for that if they are able to. I do like traveling into the city so maybe I just like neckties.

I am definitely against all of this rhetoric about how remote work is horrible and the laptop crowd isn’t doing good work when we don’t really give people enough time for childcare or elder care which I think is a much bigger problem that motivates people to work remotely. Also real estate markets are way overvalued.
In somewhere like SF, yeah, definitely, in my experience. Riding the BART is disgusting.

I think an interesting thing to remember about perceived safety, statistical safety, and actual safety, is that they are all different things -- you can't just look at stats to determine actual safety.

E.g., I was involved in a couple of incidents involving attacks in SF that I am sure were not reflected in the stats. (As well as numerous thefts, though that's not a safety issue per se.)
Different nations have different interpretations of intellectual property in general. Combined with treaties that provide protections in other nations. It all will vary.

Absolutely not. In practise the limit is (1) how many cores are actually _used_ by programs and (2) how much work is put into making anything fast at all, ever. We're using web frontends powered by python backends over a network. The vast majority of programs use nowhere near the resoures available to them.

It is. I do. If not chains by the same name, equivalent ones that are as or more expensive than Five Guys. E.g., Fat Hippo are in Birmingham, Cardiff, Durham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Nottingham... And of the chains I mentioned, GBK for example are all over the place, in about 15 different towns and cities. I know of a chain in Manchester, "Almost Famous", if they're any cheaper than Five Guys, it'll be by about 50p. And so on. Your claim that Five Guys is 3x any other burger chain is ridiculous.
Best guess? Because simulating more than 8 qubits requires lots of processing power.

You can just create a new passkey on the device from the new provider and register it with whatever service you are using. You can have multiple keys registered for a single service, like one unique key per device.

In this case, you can use a non-google key manager such as this 1password password manager to manage your keys.

Even when using a Google related app, your key is still on your device, it just won't be synced to your google account anymore in the case that google terminates your account.
Something similar to this would have happened without COVID. SF was in massive oversupply, London is in massive oversupply, all these cities had massive growth in supply fuelled by debt (CRE is probably one of the biggest benefactors of low rates, Blackstone Real Estate was basically finished in 2008, they were doing huge deals at the top of the market...move-forward ten years, fastest growth area of the business, the guy who led the division in 2008 is now second in line to run the firm).

COVID definitely took the edge off but you are seeing the same thing in residential (particularly people moving into single-family) and it isn't of the same magnitude.

This isn't unusual (NY had a similar downturn in the late 80s, you don't even need to go back far) but it was multiple things at once. COVID is a very easy get out for people who did extremely stupid things with other people's money.
I've seen a lot of people that work in AI express concerns about the impact on society as we progress towards AGI. We don't need to reach AGI for there to be a huge impact on society whether its negative or positive. OpenAI's tool is already having an impact on jobs, it seems straight forward to extrapolate that there will be larger impacts on society as models improve. I would still assert that it would be a comical level of supervillainy for Sam to only care about his companies profits over any potential negative impacts on society. It seems highly plausible that he could not be a sociopath and have empathy and actually cares about limiting negative impacts of these tools.

> It's nice to think that you can have so much money you stop caring about it but it doesn't really make sense. You don't get to personally keep billions of dollars without caring about money.

It is definitely not every billionaire that thinks like this but there are some that seem to not care too much about material possessions like Musk or Sam. Their endeavors seem to be the things that they care about the most and they don't seem to be doing it to attain the most amount of money possible.

In a recent landmark decision, the US Supreme Court ruled that Andy Warhol's use of Lynn Goldsmith's photograph of Prince was not fair use, marking a significant event in the ongoing debates around copyright and artistic transformation.

In this case, Warhol's foundation argued that his use of Goldsmith's photo was transformative, because the resulting works conveyed a different meaning or message. However, the Supreme Court held that the degree of transformation wasn't enough to warrant fair use, particularly considering the commercial nature of Warhol's use.

This ruling has been celebrated by many photographers and associations, who see it as a much-needed clarification on the concept of transformation in the context of fair use. It provides a stronger ground for photographers to protect their works from being used without permission, proper license, credit, and fair compensation.

Now, this brings to mind a similar case from a few years ago: the dispute over Shepard Fairey's "Hope" poster featuring President Obama, which was based on a photograph taken by an Associated Press photographer. The case was eventually settled, but it sparked a lot of discussion about the boundaries of fair use in art.

How do you think these two cases compare? What distinguishes Warhol's use of Goldsmith's photo from Fairey's use of the AP photo? And what implications might this recent ruling have for similar cases in the future?
I'm not going to put this and similar cases quite in the class of just applying a Photoshop filter or similar transformations. But I'm not sure it's that far off either. Which seems to fall into an area where you can't just take someone's photo, apply a couple straightforward changes, and now it's yours.
Yes, GPON is overprovisioned (at 1:32 for Openreach). However, that isn't the full explanation for mediocre upload speeds on Openreach. GPON has a total shared capacity of 2.4 Gbps down and 1.2 Gbps. So you'd think if 1 Gbps down is possible, 500 Mbps up would be.

Simply, Openreach probably have mediocre upload speeds on FTTP, so they can protect their leased line profit margins.

CityFibre use GPON, the exact same technology as Openreach. Yes, CityFibre offer a nice symmetric service on top of that, because real world contention is usually much lower than the theoretical maximum. It's also worth noting CityFibre are starting to upgrade to XGS-PON.
People don't realize how cheap it is to keep a vehicle maintained if you don't use it much at all.

And though insurance is officially "tied to the car" it's really tied to the driver; you can't drive more than one car at a time anyway so the third, fourth, tenth vehicle adds less and less.
Five Guys is really expensive in the US too. Really makes in-n-out look like a bargain.
> The latter is not fine, since it's a worsening of society.

Not necessarily. It's entirely possible that changing those incentives will improve things, overall.
it does seem that way, and maybe it's better thought of that way. surely plenty of hn commenters are here to explain why its actually not magic...
Having an independent media is essential to quitting cars. I've never heard a discussion on quitting cars on the nightly news, but on YouTube this discussion is made possible. YouTube de-ranking independent media in favor of traditional media could really limit the growth of the "fuck cars" movement.
>underscoring the narrative that the company’s biggest victories were initiated under his predecessor, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs

What does the author consider to be a victory?

Tim Cook was elevated because he had the operational capability to grow Apple. Jobs did not consider Cook to be a product design person. But Jobs trusted Cook to find and keep people who could design products.

By any stretch of the imagination, the company's biggest victories have been in growing and holding together the vast ecosystem of HW / SW and services that continuously deliver the highest customer satisfaction ratings. The reward for that has been becoming the biggest company in the world. (Some might consider this a victory.)

If introducing new hit products is the only kind of victory that can exist, then Apple Silicon and AirPods victories also go to Cook.

It will feature hand and eye control and run many of the kinds of apps found on Apple’s other devices."

Ugh, you know it really wouldn’t be so bad if they would just go back to selling cpus like they're meant to be kept around for more than a year. The thing that has me really ticked off at Intel right now is the i915 sriov capabilities introduced in 11th gen which were meant to supersede GVT-G. I didn’t even know GVT-G was a thing until it was already gone. They didn’t even make a driver that supports 11th gen and 12th is apparently supported in some capacity but I’m not understanding it very well myself. I damn sure wouldn’t buy a 12th gen though if its a thing you think you might actually care about. If 11th gen is any example of how 12th will turn out, any development will be left up to one person who miraculously understands i915 well enough to develop for it, doing for free and doing a good job but not well enough to keep up with linus/linux~HEAD; needless to say if 11th gen support for i915 sriov does ever get merged the cheap low quality construction of the hardware will probably be starting to break down, seems like most of it is by the time you unbox it anyway these days :(
