[PD] OT: faster than Fourier transform

[Pedro Lopes]

quote them: "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."

If I didn't get it wrong: I think they mention the "premise" is
the opposite of white noise, thus signals do not exhibit the behavior of
white noise (spread out through all spectrum). Once again, its just a tool,
and tools are useful for certain cases, and not useful for other cases.

Like the hammer.

Best,
pedro
