If you call multiplying the Fourier transform by a linear function "high-pass filtering" and dividing by a linear function "low-pass filtering", then I understand what you are saying. But I'm not accustomed to calli

Yes, that's exactly what happens. Think of a point in an n-dimensional hypercube and the pyramids made by connecting it to the n many opposite faces. These pyramids each have volume 1/n times the hypercube's volume. And in th

Differentiation is high pass filtering? How so? Is low pass filtering followed by high pass filtering the same as leaving a signal unchanged?

Why are those the token boundaries? "mirth" decomposes as "m" + "irth"? "grins" decomposes as "gr" + "ins"?

Yes, I see in retrospect I was misinterpreting the comment I was replying to and have edited it slightly accordingly.

Why does anyone trust ChatGPT to correctly answer this question? It's a text prediction engine, not an all purpose correct answer generator. A yes or a no answer is the sort of text that would follow a question like this, certainly.

"The second law of thermodynamics" is also a rather undescriptive name. Which one is called the first law, which one is called the second law, which one is called the third law, etc? I can't keep it straight myself.

If you asked people "Will a broken glass mend itself spontaneously?", they will all get it correct. That's not the sort of question people fail to be able to answer. The sort of thing question people fail to be able to answer

It's common to say that constructive mathematics is continuous, as it cannot prove the existence of a discontinuous function. One can certainly reason constructively about the various things traditionally considered continuous mathemat

Whoops, I should've pulled the division by x out of the definition of f. The example I had in mind was [sin(4πx) - 2 sin(6πx) + sin(8πx)]/x. [Another good example is [sin(6πx) - 2 sin(8πx) + sin(10πx)]/x, whose frequencies ar

That is, it's not quite as simple as saying you just need to sample at any frequency at least twice the bandwidth. Rather, it's the more complicated behavior described by this graph: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

Consider a signal whose value at x seconds is f(2x) - 2 f(3x) + f(4x), where f(x) = sin(2πx)/x. Considering that the absolute frequencies of f(x) are uniformly distributed from 0 to 1 Hz, the absolute frequencies of this total signal s
