Subscribe to Steve Brunton . Here's Nathan Kutz giving an example in Matlab. Here's the web page for his book Data Driven Modeling & Scientific Computation : https://faculty.washington.edu/kutz/KutzBook/KutzBook.html Ben actually explains it better than Nathan Katz does. As well the broad-band assumption in the Nyquist-Shannon Sampling Theorem there is another assumption which is that the samples are taken at regular intervals and this is what allows high-frequency aliasing. Otherwise the sample frequency is clumped and this has an anti-...

Level1 Techs - The Cost of Not Knowing How to Write Decent Software

Image
This is just horrifying! Subscribe to Level1 Techs . This is what Modular are trying to manage, but I think they're barking up totally the wrong tree. They're building software infrastructure for AI which people need to manage the complexity of software development, and in the process they're making software development even more complex. That's just thermal runaway. 1:27:35 Ben Seidel's question about the boundary between parsing and lexical analysis is a good one. He's asking about this in a very general context, which is that of any language defined by a context-free grammar. So he's reading in a grammar defined by some BNF-type syntax, and wants to figure out what sort of lexical analyser to generate that can be used by that parser. Subscribe to Cliff Click .
