Why? If people want CN stuff, they'll create a market demand for it. Then companies will grow to supply this demand. No government intervention required.

You're not just demanding CN to satiate your selfish desires to control people are you???

People didn't care about carbon footprint of cows until they were fed the data.
Then people wanted CN cows and the market provided them.
Now the market will provide CN people.

Erection drive is connected to some brain receptors, Melanocortin. Every day it seems the brain has some receptor for something.
When you stimulate the melanocortin receptors you get boners. Dunno how its connected to looking at women.

No. A hologram is higher dimensional image encoded into lower dimensions. Typically you see those in 2D laser holographic films that depicts 3D images. What OP is talking about, and what 3CPO is projecting, is a volumetric image.

What part of "a great deal of just the type of heavy competition that a free market theorist would like" didn't you get? I didn't say that it was a "free market".

Besides, the definition of free market isn't that market actors are privately owned; the definition of a free market is that the market actors make decisions solely on the basis of market demand and supply, without external intervention. This is not necessarily incompatible with government ownership; it depends on whether the government as an owner instructs the companies to operate based on market conditions alone, or based on other considerations. Free market is not the same as capitalism, and a free market does not necessarily need to be based on capitalism, although it usually is.

it would take a magical element that doesn't burn and masses more than any known substance, being thrown by a device stronger than anything ever built, and it would leave a trail of devastation in its wake. Thousands, even millions would die if you were to somehow prove the possibility true, so I hope you have a good reason for wanting to know this.

would need to be something that survives forces involved, but also designed into a shape and have properties which allow for extremely low friction. Otherwise you'd have to impart so much speed it escapes the atmosphere, but at that point you could try pitching down to provide lift with gravity.

You'd think smart people would at least get this right

I have recently explored the possibility of doing a FFT entirely with addition, subtraction, and transpose.
Turns out this is indeed possible, however, you're approximating the phase, so you need to project to a lattice and then at the end perform a phase adjustment from a much larger range of phase to a smaller range(project from thousands to billions of radians to just -pi, pi).
Your lattice can be entirely hypothetical, you dont need extra memory.

However, you need to explore and work out the math for each transpose sequence along with the final positioning in the imaginary sparse lattice, so you can get the individual phase adjustments needed. This work only needs to be done once for any FFT size, and then the phase adjustments and transposes can be used as a lookup table. We're talking doing an FFT in only 15% of the work!

Phase Lattice Mapping: Phase angles are mapped onto a lattice using a function φ(k) = 2πk * (L/N), where L is a chosen lattice size larger than N (FFT size). This spreads phase values over a range of 2πL/N.

Pre-Processing: Input signals are multiplied by exp(i * φ(n)), embedding phase information into the lattice positions.

FFT Operation: Instead of computing complex rotations, FFT operations involve simple integer shifts on the lattice. Each butterfly operation becomes an integer arithmetic operation.

Post-Processing: Results are reconstructed by sampling the lattice to retrieve magnitude and phase information, then converting back to standard phase ranges using modulo operations.


What do you think?

for a small FFT this doesnt need a lot of memory but for a 4 million point FFT. you need 700mb of ram

also, since our operations are cumulative, some will cancel out meaning the algorithm can be optimized further.

simplifying for fellow nerds:
each stage of FFT requires twiddle * previous stage and then add or subtract
In our context, instead, we do transpose and then add or subtract, and the distortion is because of the phase alignment- we need to project into a hypothetical lattice where all phase alignments are whole numbers. At the end, to get our sparse subset back out with the correct values, we need to perform a phase adjustment back.

In practice we need only N indexes and then to do transforms, but we need to learn the phase correction needed at the end, and it's different for every FFT size.

We do less work by pre-computing some of the work and eliminating hidden redundancy

In case any of you are unfamiliar with tetration, it is the next hyperoperation after exponents.
For example 2 tetrated to 5, 25 = 2^2^2^2^2 = 2*10^19728
There is an interesting relationship between tetration and factorials.
Take, x!=yz
(better written as Γ(x+1)=yz)
If y≥2 AND z≥2, then (yz-2) ≤ x ≤ (yz-1) is always true.
Examples:
22=4
x!=4,
x=2
(yz-2): 20=1
(yz-1): 21=2
1 ≤ 2 ≤ 2

24=65536
x!=65536,
x=8.23
(yz-2):22=4
(yz-1):23=16
4 ≤ 8.23 ≤ 16

10 points increase in iq as a kid basically means you are about a year ahead of your peers on mental development.
