It will also put you in trouble with law enforcement.

The cane is there to detect obstacles. They are used to it hitting things, it’s part of their life.

You don’t have to feel bad about it even though it is something you should try to avoid. It’s hard to see that cane when it is poking out in front of the person all the way at the ground if you turn around or things like that.

If I had to guess you both apologized when it happened, and both of you should be able to walk away satisfied after a random friendly interaction like that.

Well, it isn’t called “medium”. If I saw someone asking for the medium, I would assume that they mean “the median” instead.

The median is the number that is right in the middle of the distribution, so if you have the data points: 1, 1, 1, 3, 14, 80, and 141, the median is 3.

The mean/average is what you get if you add all the numbers together and divide that by the number of data points. For the above example the sum is 241, and divided by 7 that is approximately 34.3 .

The mode that @Aussiemandeus mentions is the number that appears the most times, so that is 1.

If you get the chance, thank them for doing it. I don’t have money to spare, but I really enjoy their science channels on YouTube.

English is a tertiary language for me. I would say “too”, but I don’t know if you moved to an English speaking country later in life so it is a secondary language for you. I have lived in Denmark my entire life.

Median, not *mean/average.

I don’t think this is entirely correct. If the spin of the two black holes aren’t in the same direction, I imagine that they will have less spin as a percentage of the maximum after the merger. It does seem odd to me - a layman with 30 years of interest in physics.

Yeah, I’m rather confident that bots are rampant on here. All the wrong news sites are constantly the ones that are upvoted the most. The bots don’t care who you hate, just that you hate. It doesn’t matter if it is leaders, minorities, businesses, other nations, or whatever.

The bots agenda is to make it harder for people to work together in unison. Create disruptions and lower the operational efficiency of other nations.

Why would we? If someone wants to visit from the US and spend their money here instead of at home, I’ll let them.

LLM’s aren’t intelligent. “Intelligence” is the word that has to be cut. “Artificial” is accurate.

They cannot reason about things they haven’t seen before, for instance. Ask it about “your new physics theory” and it will tell you that it is interesting and could revolutionize the world, basically regardless of how ridiculous and nonsensical it is.

That is because when new ideas do make it to the news and gets significant coverage, it is because it is an idea that has potential for actually being revolutionary. Since those ideas take up most of the space, it is a majority of what the LLM is trained on. That means that the basic response to any claimed physics idea is that it is great. Posts constantly show up on physics subreddits that prove this trend. These theories that show up never have math that makes sense, and make claims that doesn’t correlate with the data we already have about our universe.

He is the author of “The Art of the Deal”…

He will draw a deal that isn’t implemented with his sharpie.

Dane here, and I’m pretty much in the same boat. I get my news on news websites though, not social media - and especially not from partisan sources like Joe Rogan. I want neutral sources that only report the facts, no opinions.

That isn’t his main concern. The real reason is that it ensured accountability for when rich people cut corners.

Popeye.

The vandals hide among the rest, so the police has to disband everyone to stop things from reoccurring. When people don’t disperse when told to do so, or fight against the police when they try to make them comply, then things escalate. The police doesn’t have other options, sadly.

People have to realize that the police don’t do things if everyone follows the rules. They aren’t pigs or fascists, but people like the rest of us. The narrative on this site has gone completely haywire.

There are some policemen who do wrong stuff. I don’t know how many police officers are in the US, but I would be surprised if it is less than 200k. Take the stories you have heard and divide that number by 200,000, and consider the fact that they are put in rough positions a lot more often than you and I, and you should arrive at the result that they aren’t any worse than the rest of us.

The dehumanizing of the cops here on Lemmy is rampant, and it isn’t fair to the vast majority of cops who don’t do the bad stuff.

The issue is just that if people start burning things or breaking into stores or things like that, then the police has to dissolve the aggregation because the complicit people cannot be identified on short notice. That requires an investigation, which takes time.

If bad things happen then it would be best if people actually helped stop the vandalism or whatever could happen. It sucks for those who don’t participate in the lawless behavior, but what is the police supposed to do? Let people destroy innocent people’s property?

I totally support the protests, but people have to realize that when things take a wrong turn then the police have limited options. A lot of damage can be done in a very short amount of time when a gathering turns into a mob, so things have to be stopped.

It totally sucks that vandals often destroy it for the peaceful protesters, but what other solutions do you suggest to the police’s dilemma?

In the EU we work as a bloc, meaning that we have to agree with the other countries before the policies such as tariffs or similar are changed. Calling for it is how you get that train moving.
