"the secret scientists don't want you to know!!" Dude have you ever met a single scientist? My scientist friends are desperate for me to know about the changing mating habits of Brown marmorated stink bugs. They're screaming at the top of their lungs to tell you EVERYTHING.

@KylePlantEmoji Scientist here. Can confirm.

*scientific screaming intensifies*

@archibebi @KylePlantEmoji If you are an engineer and use the Fourier transform, there is a 99% chance that what you are doing is mathematically wrong (ask me how I know 😓 )

It's the slight non-linearities in electronics that transform the nice additive noise models we learn in school into ugly multiplicative noise when they hit reality. But nobody ever even mentions this important topic! So people apply the wrong model and wonder why they get the wrong result.

@attilakinali @archibebi @KylePlantEmoji Huh. Does this have implications for MRI imaging?
Show threadAttila KinaliNov 29, 2022
@thette @archibebi @KylePlantEmoji The reason why most devices still work is because they all work on functions that are limited in time and limited in value. This makes the function very well behaved. So well, that the tools work on these even if they wouldn't on more general functions. At worst, there is a scaling factor that's there but nobody can explain.

@attilakinali Thank you! Very interesting!
