No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If you were to generated a completely random sequence of sounds, how long would it take to produce music or a voice?English
41·8 days agoIt’s been a while since I’ve studied statistics, but I think this would be classified as a Bernoulli distribution, where 1 represents a noise that sounds like music, voices, etc., and 0 represents a noise that does not sound like those. In these distributions, “How long…?” is a matter of chance and averages of trials, not an exact datum.

9·9 days agoHey Lois
You do not see ultraviolet light or hear infrasound because you do not have sensory receptors that can detect these as light and sound. When there is or is not ultraviolet light or infrasound, you do not receive a signal of 0 or 1 in your light and sound sensors but there is (for lack of a better word) a null signal. A lack of means to detect something does not communicate that zero or any other amount of that something is present — it is simply obliviousness without necessarily knowing that there is obliviousness.
I’m not sure what we’re in apparent disagreement about then. Perhaps you’re thinking in terms of signal output from the brain rather than external signal reception through the senses?
You think there remains signal upon death?
When powered on, a TV or computer monitor can output black. When powered off, the lack of signal is noticeably different than the black output. You do not experience a lack of signal.
You guys are paying?

politics @lemmy.world•David Ellison says 70% of Americans are centrist. Surveys tell a different storyEnglish
8·16 days agoIt’s 68% if you assume a normal bell curve and define centrist as within 1 standard deviation of the mean. These assumptions, of course, are not based on evidence, but they do support the claim.
