PCA can be construed as a loss compression of the data matrix. In fact, Eckart-Young theorem shows that this is an optimal compression (optimal w.r.t low rank, i.e. space to hold the values). In the language of OP, this shows the minimal

The cigar analogy with rotation symmetry lost me. As each axis measures something different, there is some sense of unit dependency (e.g. measuring height in one axis (cm) and measuring weight in another axis (kg)). It is silly to say one

I am interested in the technical aspect. What is the tech stack to enable such a vastly distributed host network? Presumably, people have to open up their home networks, but the company has to ensure that the host machines are secure.

What does it mean to be a transistor-level simulation in this context? I used to work with circuit simulators to design circuits (discrete and integrated) and there are many transistor models (mathematical models) depending on the use case.

This is my disappointment as well. Mathematics for robotics is quite challenging due to control theory and non-linear optimization, which do not seem to be the focus of this course.
