a) the inflection point is in the high 30s. Further $\int_{40}^{50} f(x) dx > \int_{20}^{30} f(x) dx$. b) true there is no breakdown but I would expect the exact opposite as fields get harder. More context requires more training and fami

I think this is a gross cultural misconception. Most scientists do their best work in their 30s and 40s. See [0]. My take on this is that it takes about a decade before experience, knowledge and wisdom can be used to see a bigger picture to

I keep feeling like there's a set of fundamental assumptions that can be optimized for, or relaxed and optimized for, in order to get at what a better method might be. For example, stability of dithering under rotation and or some type

No, that's not true. If sums of independent identically distributed random variables converge to a distribution, they converge to a Levy stable distribution [0]. Tails of the Levy stable distribution are power law, which makes them not

No, that's not correct. Sums of power law distributions can converge to power low tailed distributions, not normal distributions.

The fact the article said that is a gross error. You've identified the issue head on. The sum of independent identically distributed random variables, if they converge at all, converge to a Levy stable distribution (aka fat-tailed, hea

The Fourier transform of a uniform distribution is the sinc function which looks like a quadratic locally around 0. Convolution to multiplication is how the quadratic goes from downstairs to upstairs, giving the Gaussian. Widths of differen
