You're looking at the economy and business in general completely wrong. You have a SERIOUS fundamental misunderstanding of how it works.

There isn't a fixed pool of X trillion dollars per year for all companies and government agencies to split up among workers.

If a company gives $300k to some guy in Silicon Valley, he'll turn around and give it to other people providing him with goods and services. They in turn spend the money on things they need.

Through substitution of a theoretical geometric object into infinite dimensional space computations are greatly simplified, as Riemann hypothesis provides sufficient rules to deal with infinite series of natural numbers.
The problem being solved essentially is: you have two binary strings, and you want to offset one of them so that they match up the best. For each offset, you're taking a dot product of one sequence with the offset version of the other. This is the same as computing the convolution of the two sequences together (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolution). Computing this naively would be O(n^2) (doing linear work for each possible offset).

One property of the Fourier transform is that convolution in the time domain corresponds to element-wise multiplication in the frequency domain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolution_theorem), so you can compute the convolution efficiently by taking the FFT of both series, doing element-wise multiplication, and then taking the inverse FFT of the result.
The way "tensor" is typically used in machine learning it really is just an n-dimensional generalization of a matrix.

In physics, however, a tensor has a more specific meaning. In this context, certain 2-dimensional tensors can be represented as matrices, but a matrix is a distinct concept. A bit more precisely, in physics a tensor is an object that transforms a particular way during coordinate transformations. Intuitively this means that a tensor must be some physical "thing".

A classical example of a tensor is the moment of inertia tensor. Every 3-d object has a moment of inertia tensor. This tells you how the torque relates to angular acceleration, and it will in general be different across different axes of the object. Now, you can choose any three (non-collinear) directions you want and write down a matrix which represents the tensor in that basis, but this representation is fundamentally coordinate dependent. The moment of inertia tensor, by contrast is a coordinate-independent entity. Just like a vector, it will have certain values in certain reference frames, but the vector itself transcends any coordinate system. (Though this is a bit of tautology since a vector is a 1-dimensional tensor.)

Who defines credible? If I provide you PhDs and studies, what ingredient is necessary to override your confirmation bias?

You can't deny creation science, as creation science hasn't yet formed a coherent hypothesis capable of being denied.

Climate science has testable hypotheses that continue to give reliable, observable and consistent results. Claiming that its conclusions are wrong requires denial, as no one has yet been able to demonstrate that that they are wrong.

Creation science hasn't even yet been able to form a framework that can be tested, let alone denied. I'd argue it doesn't even qualify as a science.

Yes I'm being pedantic. Yes I will die on this hill.
Good suggestion, but first you'd need consensus on methods for measuring and calculating global temperatures. Currently, several different methods are used by established institutions and the results come with a relatively large confidence range.

Personally, I'd rather bet on temperatures at single stations than what these observatories calculate.

The government profited? I always hear that it cost 6 trillion or something
While I agree that many websites are needless bloat in a game of chasing ad revenue that drives people away or to block them back to the land is fundamentally a silly regression based on fantasies of a past that never was. Where do they think industrial labor came from? Farmers. Agriculture for reduced growth is counter effective.

Agricultural efficiencies were too high for that sort of thing centuries ago and density is actually the lower in environmental impact option. It seems an idea pushed more by memes and ideology than anything practical.

> I attribute that at least within the United States to "trickle-down economics

Trickle-down economics has never been a policy promoted by any economist (left or right) in history nor a policy of the US or any western country. It was originally a political invention. And quite an effective one at that because the media/pundits have used it for decades as a strawman to endlessly attack. Of course it's far easier to win against an adversary who doesn't exist.

> Years ago, this column challenged anybody to quote any economist outside of an insane asylum who had ever advocated this “trickle-down” theory. Some readers said that somebody said that somebody else had advocated a “trickle-down” policy. But they could never name that somebody else and quote them.

> It is not just in politics that the nonexistent “trickle-down” theory is found. It has been attacked in the New York Times, in the Washington Post, and by professors at prestigious American universities — and even as far away as India. Yet none of those who denounce a “trickle-down” theory can quote anybody who actually advocated it.

He repeated it incorrectly(thus the follow up tweet). And it wouldn't matter anyway because he was required to get pre-approval again, even if repeating something verbatim, if more than two days had passed. From page 12:

Forget Passwords–Audio Watermarks Could Be Easier to Use and More Secure
That doesn't work because it's not only general population growth that's driving housing shortages in cities, it's that people are moving to popular cities from less popular places. San Francisco doesn't have a housing problem because too many people had babies in the last 10 years, it has a housing problem because way more people want to move to San Francisco from other US cities than it can support.

Another way to think about it: Japan's population is flat or declining depending on the stat you look at, but Tokyo is still increasing in population.

You seem to have the misconception that rents are set by individual owners(a large company, or 1 house/person landlord). In actuality, rents are set by the rental market overall, governed by supply and demand. It doesn't matter if 500 homes to rent are owned by 2 or 200 people.

A tax like that would just make rents increase to X+Y for units owned by large landlords, where Y is the new tax cost. X would not change, making the policy achieve exactly nothing.

I've been saying for years that Twitter ought to be offering that as a paid-for feature. They don't even have to charge much for it. Even something as simple as "All tweets have a 120 second delay during which time the following users will be pinged, shown the tweet, and given veto powers on it".

ELI5: You can turn this problem into finding the best "convolution index", and fourier transforms make computing convolutions cheaper.

ELIUndergrad:
(note that \* means multiplication, there doesnt seem to be a way to escape an asterisk)

Lets start by seeing how this is a convolution. We have the videoSpeech sequence, and the subtitle sequence - each is a vector, indexed by time, of 0's and 1's indicating whether there is speech in that time. We can imagine padding the sequences out on either side with 0's, and consider the alignment task as shifting the subtitle sequence left and right in time until we get the best alignment with the 1's in the videoSpeech sequence. We can express the goodness of alignment as the number of matching 1's, aka the sum over all times t of videoSpeech(t) \* subtitle(t). This is the definition of a convolution: the convolution of two sequences gives a new sequence where the value at index i is this sum above where one of the sequences is shifted by i. Mathematically, conv(videoSpeech, subtitle)(i) = sum( videoSpeech(t)\* subtitle(t-i)). So we can rephrase this problem as, find the index i which maximizes the value of the convolution sequence.

The discrete fourier transform is a function that takes a sequence and gives another sequence. It's relevant here because it "turns convolution into multiplication": fourier(videoSpeech)(i) \* fourier(subtitle)(i) = fourier(conv(videoSpeech, subtitle))(i).

So finally to solve the problem, we get the pointwise product sequence S = fourier(videoSpeech) \* fourier(subtitle), do the inverse fourier transform on it invFourier(S), and maximize invFourier(S)(i) over i.

Berlin is still empty compared to pre WW2. There are huge empty areas right in the center of the city.

There just isn't enough building going on. Building in Germany is expensive, and complicated.
Even though almost anything would improve upon this clustereff of 60's communist architecture, you can not even build a skyscraper because people don't want it.

Berlin is Berlin. Removing it from Germany would increase its GDP.
Nothing makes sense here, and its a chaotic antithesis of the other large cities in Germany.

This is the first few levels of a game I am working on. I want to make a game that is fun and at the same time teaches you something useful.
The goal is that throughout the levels you will learn to build all the things that go into a computer, like:
Adders,
Flip flops,
RAM,
the bus,
the ALU,
Etc

This prototype is made in Javascript + Canvas for rapid level iteration, although I may translate to another language when I have got more of the concepts down.

I have more levels than are in this demo, but they need more polish, especially with difficulty jumps minor UI things.

Odds are great that the battery thing on twitter was a PR stunt for public consumption, not substantive decision making. People don't negotiate infrastructure deals on twitter and email is just as good for actually doing business deals.

In the event that anything actually happened on twitter, someone was probably being negligent in terms of tendering and governance. It doesn't make sense for a few tweets to be critical, so they probably weren't.

No that's qualitatively different. There's no way for a piece of C code to look at the local variables of another C function. But in Python you can do that. What you mean is that C compilers keep the local variables on the stack, and do not eliminate loads/stores so that a debugger can see what the variables are and a debugger can read DWARF information to figure out names of variables. There is no way for code itself to learn these except for implementing DWARF parsing yourself.
Try taking a Data Structures & Algorithm course and then tell me universities/colleges don't purposely weed-out students. Coding isn't for everyone.

Fun fact: "Mac" is the original Irish surname prefix meaning "son of," and "Mc" is the Anglicized form. McDonald = Son of Donald. As is usual, Irish names are patronymic meaning they're relating to the male's lineage. A daughter would be "Nic" (daughter of the son of) and wife "Mhic" (wife of the son of).

Then why so few "Nic"s and "Mhic"s? The Anglicized form isn't so particular about gender, so females use "Mac/Mc."

The "O'" prefix as in "O'Donnell" means "descendant of," along with its female variants.
