Aug 30 at 14:33 comment added Dominic van der Zypen OK I see thanks.
Aug 30 at 13:54 comment added Oscar Lanzi @DominicvanderZypen in the comment to the referenced question the dot product of $f_k$ and $f_{2k}$ gets as big absolutely as $k$ for any whole number $k$ by truncating after any odd multiple of $k$ terms. You are still pigeonholed.
Aug 30 at 11:17 comment added Dominic van der Zypen @OscarLanzi I am not sure your argument works - see the comment here : mathoverflow.net/questions/477848/…
Aug 30 at 9:35 comment added Oscar Lanzi You nay wnt to pur absolute values aroubd the lim inf argument.
Aug 30 at 6:12 comment added HenrikRüping For example, if we compute the "inner product" of columns $1,2$ we get the following partial sums: $1,0,-1,0,... $ (and then it repeats). Thus the $\liminf$ would be $-1$.
Aug 29 at 19:26 comment added Oscar Lanzi It would not work for that more restrictive rule, nor could any IMO. You are pigeonholed into having indefinitely long parts of rows or columns all $1$ or all $-1$. But the fraction of such row or column pairs diminishes for larger truncations of this matrix.

Aug 29 at 19:23 comment added Dominic van der Zypen Thanks a lot Oscar! Actually it occurred to me that the most natural definition for approximately orthogonal would be: there is a global constant $C_0\in\omega$ such that $\big|\sum_{k=0}^n \big(f(n)g(n)\big)\big| < C_0$ for all $n\in\omega$. I think your example works with this as well
