One of the first things you learn in college-level science is accuracy and precision. A measurement can have a degree of correctness and a degree of exactness about the value. For example a sensor may get the wrong reading 3% of the time. When you have a big pile of readings, you don’t always have the time to validate them all. So, there is some uncertainty that you accept. The same sensor may only be able to give you an accurate reading down to a specific decimal point, which is expressed as precision. Anything less is given as a range in which error exists. These ideas are important, because when you do calculations based on those readings, you have to take the error with you. There may be a point where the value you reach is overshadowed by the magnitude of the error.
This article is hilarious because like the author I didn’t know what I was doing and chose bard as my first character (still don’t know what I’m doing but I’m trying) and would do a lot of the same tricks he did. Pushing people off a ledge was my go to.
I’m only on day 2, but I feel so able to concentrate, it’s ridiculous. I know it’s expected to take weeks to start working, but I’m feeling it already. I spent the morning reading wikipedia, catching up with work, and doing laundry that I hadn’t done for weeks. Now, I’m gonna go out to eat at a restaurant with a...
Does physics ever get vague?
As in, are there some parts of physics that aren’t as clear-cut as they usually are? If so, what are they?
Could a child learn everything just from watching Hollywood movies and TV shows?
Without any other form of education

Why are batteries in phones always measured in mAh instead of Wh like for example notebooks?
Just started Strattera. I feel superhuman, but have some questions about the side effects.

I heard my spinning was accepted here, so here's a single I spun! (lemmy.world)
Still haven’t found a dedicated handspinning community, but I’m hoping this will tempt some of y’all to the dark side 😉...
So, how many lemmynsfw.com communities have you blocked?
I just reached 112 myself....
