### AI overview

An opinion piece develops a partial threat model for command systems on 23rd-century starships. It weighs availability against authorization when crew members need to assume command, and argues that remotely operable controls introduce substantial risk unless their requirements and defenses are clarified.

### AI overview

This tutorial introduces the multidimensional Fourier transform, explains its relationship to the one-dimensional transform, describes an FFT-style algorithm for computing it, and applies it to digitally watermarking images.

### Source excerpt

We've studied the Fourier transform quite a bit on this blog: with four primers and the Fast Fourier Transform algorithm under our belt, it's about time we opened up our eyes to higher dimensions. Indeed, in the decades since Cooley & Tukey's landmark paper, the most interesting applications of the discrete Fourier transform have occurred in dimensions greater than 1. But for all our work we haven't yet discussed what it means to take an "n-dimensional" Fourier transform.
