The Fourier transform predates functional analysis by a century. I don't see the point in downplaying its significance just because 'duh it's simply a unitary linear operator on L2'.

Ok? I'm not going to change the definition of a 70 year old field because people are annoyed at chatgpt wrappers.

Yes one needs some awareness of the technology. Computer vision: unambiguously AI, motion planning: there are classical algorithms but I believe tesla / waymo both use NNs here too.

Look I don't like the advertising of FSD, or musk himself, but we without a doubt have cars using significant amounts of AI that work quite well.

I also don't understand the LLM ⊄ AI people. Nobody was whining about pathfinding in video games being called AI lol. And I have to say LLMs are a lot smarter than A*.

I'm just trying to shatter the illusion. Stop wrecking your mental health because you can't hang with the IMO kids. Many of these people are, unsurprisingly, very insular unless you want to talk about math and TC all day. Sounds really fun. The red pill is to be happy you're already making a fuckton of money for typing shit into a computer and make some friends in pottery class

I can deny it because it's obvious bullshit lol. I don't think that way and neither does anybody I know from MIT think that way. This is reality versus your imagination. If there's anyone I look down on it's my classmates who could've worked anywhere and still went to palantir...

I can't claim 100% aren't assholes, but the vast majority realize the luck and arbitrary nature of it. Are you going to be stuck in decision day sadness mode for the rest of your life? Life is too short

Is this like a humiliation fetish at this point? This is seriously unhealthy. We don't hate our friends that didn't a go to an eLiTe school because we're not sociopaths. Not sure why I'm even trying since you seem pretty dead set on this, but it's just a lot easier to go through life without made up enemies.

Yeah the code has a (somewhat rudimentary) fluid sim that's fed into reaction-diffusion. Pretty cool, don't think I've seen that combination before

   julia> using Random, BenchmarkTools
   julia> function isvowel(c)
            idx = (c | 0x20) - Int('a')
            return (0x00104111 & (1 << idx)) != 0
         end

   julia> hasvowel(str) = any(c -> isvowel(Int(c)), str)

   julia> @btime hasvowel(s) setup=(s=randstring("bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyzBCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ0123456789", 10))
   15.739 ns (0 allocations: 0 bytes)

some 77 thousand times faster

Huh? It'll be slower and eat a massive amount of memory too.

Here's what Google PageSpeed has to say about it: https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-design-google-libra...

at least it's emotional

I love McMaster but the multi-tab experience could really be better. Search filters don't carry through opening a link in a new tab (try searching M3 screw then ctrl-click socket head screws). Sometimes ctrl-clicking product numbers/product detail doesn't work at all. IIRC the back button sometimes breaks too. Pretty annoying since 80% of the time I'm researching the best component and want to backtrack easily.

There are many other sites you can visit where they won't think you're certifiable. Infowars, breitbart, daily stormer, etc.

Did they actually tell you that? I highly doubt it. You've created a preconception that I guarantee is not accurate at all. You have multiple people here saying it's bullshit, and we're not lying or trolling or anything like that. I replied somewhere else but I want to reiterate - why would you even want approval from people who dehumanize others on the basis of TC? It's like being upset Martin Shkreli doesn't want to be your friend. I really hope you'll believe me

Yes. I mean if the point is that MIT grads have unfair advantages sure, but he's built a quite unrealistic image of MIT/its students. There is a whole spectrum from IOI gold medalists to students who fail intro classes.

I was an undergrad and this is just wrong. Most are not going into HFT, and a bunch don't go into FAANG either. And not everyone who gets in was raised in a perfect upper middle class life. Do you really want to care about judgement from people who think not working at a trading firm is a failure? Those people are insufferable anyway

Considering we currently have a foreign policy solely based around giving 48 hour dopamine hits to the most newsmax-brain addled 25% of the population, that would be a significant step up.

Democrats would not want to invade Mexico or plot a coup, because we're not morons. Trump doesn't have a consistent policy about getting involved or not in foreign countries no matter how much you want to convince yourself that he's the second coming of George Washington.

That was bad, and this is bad. Iraq was bad, and this is bad. Brilliant.

We should care because it's an easy way to make friends and remain the most powerful country in the world. Well, was easy, when you could trust the US to not change their tariffs on you every three days. Art of the deal!

We should definitely go back to the good relations we used to have. Maybe if we're nice to them again they won't be running around with polonium, forcing migrants through Belarus, sending in little green men to their neighbors, and generally trying to destabilize the entire West. They're just misunderstood - it's not a country of thugs, they just want to live in peace and pump oil. Hey maybe if we have good relations we'll even be able to benefit from their recent invaluable contributions to science and technology.
