if I invest a lot of money to make a nice forum like HN or a social media site, don't I get to determine the right policies to keep a nice private space?

doesn't it infringe my rights if people use my site and my money to harass people or to spread stuff that is against my economic interest, religion, values, etc. or that I just don't like and didn't intend?

if people are going to run around using AI to spread deepfake ragebait memes, shouldn't I get to enforce policies using the same technology they use to pollute the space?

Same answer for both. It's an orthogonal transform, aka a change of basis. You're conceptually rotating the function/series to an equivalent one that's orthogonal to the original. The magnitude/energy hasn't changed (Parseval's theorem is a more succinct definition). And to perform the inverse transform you need to conceptually rotate it back to the original, which should mirror the original transform very nicely.

If it didn't preserve energy then there wouldn't necessarily be an inverse transform, since that implies information was lost.

My university still has books that are from that era. A book from 1975 about teaching yourself FORTRAN IV, one from 1980 about learning IBM 370 assembly, a book from the 60s called LISP 1.5 primer. These books are still old enough to be "retro cool," and these books are old enough that they'd likely be expensive to buy (though most books are more like from the late 80s and 90s, not as old as these).
It seems cool to me, although a greater selection of newer books would be nice.

The thing about fast fashion that upsets me the most is that it’s driving the market. It’s very very difficult to find high quality clothing that is ethically made, because so much of the market and money have gone to fast fashion. Teemu and Shein may be the new thing, but H&M, Mango, Gap, etc have been around forever.

I had to spend 4 months doing research on textiles and enlisting help to scour the internet/world before I could find a properly made pea coat last year, as an example. Sure there’s some sort of pea coat available from every major fashion brand, but they’re made for looks not function and durability, whereas a proper coat will keep you warm walking the dog in driving snow where I live in the Colorado mountains.

I have had a hell of a time buying shirts and dressier pants that hold up, but I think finally arrived at good options.

If it was simply a matter of paying more to get better stuff, I wouldn’t be so bothered, but that’s really not how it works. You can’t even rely on the same brand and product to maintain quality due to market pressures from fast fashion, and I am not quite well to do enough to have everything made bespoke, so it’s a relentless grind to buy non-shitty clothes in 2023, of similar quality to most higher end mall brands in 1995. In a lot of ways, I see this as another expression of shrinkflation and the failure of American and European industry.

As long as team boundaries are enforced at the repo level, this becomes great access control.

> "anything at all that can change how society operates is a national security risk"

In France now two-thirds of staff in police/gendarmerie work in riot control service, and only one-third work in judicial police.

There may be good reasons for that, but as a Frenchman, I am unaware that French people in demonstrations are so dangerous. Why do demonstrators need to be countered by armed people trained in urban warfare and equipped with military gear?

Indeed there are also real riots with war like scenes, but it's "only" a few hours after the event that riot police arrives. In this matter, firefighters are present during the events and they are real heroes.
The article could be more precise. It says France's stock market reaches new records. So I'm pretty sure they mean the CAC40, which is only part of France's entire stock market.

Might be that France has quite some long tail of smaller companies that also create value. There might be even more companies that aren't listed on any stock market.

Still for France and Europe, this is a very worrying sign. Market capitalization is an indicator of economic power. Basically, large swaths of the European economy could just be bought by these large companies.

I don't mean debugging the C bits (although having a stack trace and an exact line number when I cause SQLite to crash is rather nice).

I mean developing a complex wrapper/binding that involves Go calls C, which then calls back to Go, which again calls C, and putting breakpoints on the Go bits multiple layers deep, and being able to inspect the full stack of those Go bits.

Last I've tried with Cgo, stuff has a high probability of hanging your entire process (e.g. if the C library acquired some lock or something).

There's also the permanent fear that (bugs, API misuse…) leads to the C library corrupting your Go memory, which is much harder to do if the C bits run in a sandbox. SQLite is "imune" to bugs, but not API misuse.

Tbh, I haven't had a better experience with JNI, JNA, PInvoke…

And yes, I've looked at zig, even used it initially to build the WASM blob. I actually think it'd be a worthy endeavour to build a better Cgo driver. But having Cgo and WASM versions of this in the same repo is just too much effort at this point (I've considered it).

Google Search Console is also widely inaccurate in the other direction.

I ended up just implementing a simple hit counter[0] which was fine for what I wanted.

It's sad on an individual level, but not necessarily at the species level. If men are taking more risks than women but only to the degree that they still die on average in their elderly years, that means they are overall still remaining relevant in their sexually valuable years and sticking around long enough that they're likely to pass down some generational knowledge to grandchildren. Doesn't seem that bad to me considering how low life expectancy used to be.

>Well imessage does the exact same thing. It doesn't seem to confuse the users.

What % of iPhone users do you think understand the difference between SMS, MMS and iMessage protocols? I bet most don't. But if iMessage had its own separate app, they would know it's an Apple-only protocol. And that would make them less likely to exclude non-iPhone users and more likely to use cross-platform alternatives. It's not like all iPhone are jerks, they're being mislead on how "texting" in the default iPhone app really works. That's what I meant by confusion.

Ask HN: What was your reasoning for having kids?
I was very pro having kids till a few months back.

Recently I had an experience where I thought I was going to die.

Till that point I always thought death is something that happens to other people. Also I had this false believe that the tech like AGI or Neuralink will figure something out.

I am also a bit scared of what happens after death. I know logically it makes sense nothing happens. But we all came out of blankness. I wished Science has an answer.

Also having kids means I would have to make them go through the same thoughts one day. And they will also get old and will have miserable life.

It seems like pretty much everyone accept having kids as the default position. Atleast from where I am from.

Also don't really get the point of doing for humanity thing

It's not like I was asked consent to come and do it for humanity or something. But what exactly is that supposed to achieve?

That said, I really enjoyed life so far. It's just looking forward to the second half that messes up with me.

I would love to hear the thoughts from parents.

Thanks!

Optical bandpass filters are used to fine-tune the bandwidth of the sensor, as most sensors actually have pretty wide bandwidths. Typical silicon sensors have sensitivity extending well into the IR, which can confuse people when their pictures show lights they can't see. This can totally be made using something like the dark-red filter on the TV remote (reversed, it'd block red so appear blue), but fancier ones will use thin-film coatings to achieve steeper roll-offs. I don't see how meta-lenses are supposed to achieve this effect. They may use absorbing substrate, or may add a backside coating.

Contact image sensors are image sensors designed to be slapped right up against something. They're used in scanners and surface inspection sensors. No clue how this relates to meta-lenses.

I suspect it's just a bad diagram. Their barrel design is impossible to manufacture.
