“In nature, most of the normal signals are sparse,” says Dina Katabi, one of the developers of the new algorithm. Consider, for instance, a recording of a piece of chamber music: The composite signal consists of only a few instruments each playing only one note at a time. A recording, on the other hand, of all possible instruments each playing all possible notes at once wouldn’t be sparse — but neither would it be a signal that anyone cares about.

TIL that Andre Geim won the Ignobel prize in 2000 for levitating a frog and then won the Nobel prize in 2010 for his work on Graphene. He is the only person to win both awards.

Intramuscular injections can accidentally hit a vein, causing injection into the bloodstream. This could explain rare adverse reactions to Covid-19 vaccine. Study shows solid link between intravenous mRNA vaccine and myocarditis (in mice). Needle aspiration is one way to avoid this from happening.

A comment I found on Reddit on resources on Electrical, Electronics and Computer Engineering by this user u/AutumnFoxy:
I focus on DSP and digital communications + ARM and FPGAs, so will share the ones I liked the most!
(make sure to check online universities, some tend to share lectures online, for example - MIT)
Feel free to note me if you have any questions! Maybe I forgot some good channel, will update this list if I remember more good resources.
