Can confirm. Fake it till you make it. But with a really smart person who can fake extremely well.

You can learn how your roommates parents started a billion dollar company (i.e. How to be successful) at Harvard. You can't at your state school -- because your roommates are playing video games or went downtown for the night.

Why does selection bias even matter? If you go to Harvard, you will make more than had you gone to a boring state school. Period. Is there selection bias? Yes. Does it change the fact the Harvard kid is wildly successful? No.

Do the multi-dimensional matrices that exchange data between the nodes transform like tensors?

Yes, if you design the moeel/graph that way.

If so, when does the need arise to transform them?

The need arises whenever tensors are needed. For deep learning, most people treat them like multidimensional arrays. TensorFlow is an excellent name.

Multidimensional arrays are a thing of the past. Now we call them tensors. Get with the program or become an aging, forgotten physicist not involved in deep learning.

It's hard to fit in with rich whites / asians who have a boat from their parents and wear designer clothes when you spent your whole childhood playing with cards and worrying about money

As a rich white/Asian, I agree. Now what? We will all go back to coding in atom/vim/etc and continue our lives, forgetting we ever had this whole conversation.

The rest of the world doesn't matter. If there is sufficient demand for 4K video and faster connection speeds, there will eventually be a product for them.
