Hi, original presenter here :) The beginning is FTs 101. The end gets more application-centric around OFDM and is why it feels 'unreasonably effective' to me. If it feels obvious, …

As someone else posted a link to the Reddit thread, I posted there to say, roughly, 'no, I'm pretty unhappy about it'.

Lance -- I really like this comment because it is a compelling argument for something other than the viewpoint I hold. Obviously I am not fully convinced by it (yet?). But this is …

I was Chris's housemate at the time, the victim of the hours of 'sssshhhh sssshhhh shhhhh'. Interestingly, he rendered this mostly by drawing boxes in pov-ray -- I'm not sure what …

Oh, and a quick update on this -- I just got mail back from Chip at Wahoo. (Looks like my previous mail got caught in a spam filter.) They're looking to get a bunch of the attribut…

I was kind of surprised too. I have some conjectures about the internal politics from the output that I observed (super friendly, super helpful support team; development team knew …

Hi, HN! Author, here. Yeah, I was a little disappointed by the GPL and attribution issues, too. But also, I feel a little bad not having given them too much time to respond, or too…

This appears to have been flagbombed.

Well, what you want and the physical realities of synthesis are different :-) In the early days of compilers, of course, you were mostly writing C as a macro language for your syst…

This is content stolen from Wired, from 2007: http://archive.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2007/12/sl...

I think I agree with at least some of what you say. I feel bad viewing content from small blogs without "paying" for it. My current best compromise is that I run uBlock Origin with…

Well, the royal "we", perhaps :-) I started blocking ads because they dramatically slowed down my browsing experience. But I keep blocking ads because, fundamentally, I believe tha…

How much time do you spend these days being chased by ISO 26262 requirements, and the like?

I've served a whole bunch of roles in my five years at my current employer, and I'd probably classify myself as being an "electrical engineer" for all of them. (No single experienc…

I applaud the idea of helping people with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and that cluster of symptoms and illnesses. We talk a lot about how it's prevalent, but we don't talk…

It seems that this is getting downvoted, and I want to explain why I agree with the downvotes: The policy on that web page has two egregious issues. 1) It does not have any provisi…

Interesting. I've seen some other work done on gradient-aware demosaic using directional masks, and the devil appears to be in the details: it can reconstruct a lot of sharpness wh…

Also, is it just me, or does the logo look like it says "fu"? I bounced it off a few other people and they also all seem to think it says "fu". (I was looking at https://www.amium.…

I think there is a fair bit of "how to lie with graphs" here going on. For instance, the 'housing construction boom' very carefully does not show any context before 2014, and altho…

I think I'd take the opposite tack, by the way. I get about a zillion job recruiter e-mails, and the vast majority are mail merge. It's irritating, but not disqualifying, for the r…

These people are humans.
