I kind of get what you’re saying, but it’s just the wording is weird to me I guess. It feels like colloquially you would say “This person is responsible for the killing” to be equivalent to “This person committed the killing”, so I would wonder why anyone wouldn’t answer ‘yes’ the person is responsible.
I think that this confusing wording introduces bias.
The person who committed the killing has “a great deal” or “a moderate amount” of responsibility for the Dec. 4 shooting of Brian Thompson
Is this meant to be a control or something? Isn’t literally the person committing the killing responsible for the shooting… I don’t get how that’s not saying the same exact thing
Prove that said number isn’t pi.
Honestly don’t get why they’re still around and what they do.
Also not to mention, it influences your friends or family and the people you interact with. Unless you’re an antisocial hermit, you’re going to be affected one way or another
They could boost every single employee’s pay by $5000 annually and still make a billion dollars in profit.
Except for the corporate employees / managers, which get stock options that are much higher than $5,000 annually ofc
It kind of does come across as pedantic – the real question is just that “Does pi contain all sequences”
But because of the way that it is phrased, in mathematics you do a lot of problems/phrasing proofs where you would be expected to follow along exactly in this pedantic manner
OK, fine. Imagine that in pi after the quadrillionth digit, all 1s are replaced with 9. It still holds
The question is
Since pi is infinite and non-repeating, would it mean…
Then the answer is mathematically, no. If X is infinite and non-repeating it doesn’t.
If a number is normal, infinite, and non-repeating, then yes.
To answer the real question “Does any finite sequence of non-repeating numbers appear somewhere in Pi?”
The answer depends on if Pi is normal or not, but not necessarily
Oh yeah, definitely. I mean they definitely ran more than face detection software.
They probably got thousands of tips and chose to respond to the one randomly in Altoona based on other knowledge they had.
It’s crazy to me that parallel construction is allowed.
It’s not really the photos. For me, it’s that it’s really unusual for him to have had all the evidence on hand. Like the ID, gun, silencer, notes, and a motive on hand, just chilling in McDonalds. He also gave away probable cause to search him by presenting the ID which he should have known was fake. Considering he took concealing steps like using a ghost gun, ditching his backpack, and making a relatively clean getaway, it’s pretty odd.
Still it’s obviously possible that he wanted to be caught or was exhausted… or just dumb enough to not think of that.
It IS a big thing that the evidence hasn’t been presented officially yet. There’s a lot of media talk implying that he’s the guy but trial by media is not a verdict
I looked up astronaut pay and it says it’s between $100-180,000. Somewhat depressing that people can make more sitting in their house writing code working remote than someone who is risking their life on space missions. I guess you do get food and housing paid for that whole time, but wow.
Hmm, ok. Let me retry.
The digits of pi are not proven to be uniform or randomly distributed according to any pattern.
Pi could have a point where it stops having 9’s at all.
If that’s the case, it would not contain all sequences that contain the digit 9, and could not contain all sequences.
While we can’t look at all the digits of Pi, we could consider that the uniform behavior of the digits in pi ends at some point, and wherever there would usually be a 9, the digit is instead a 1. This new number candidate for pi is infinite, doesn’t repeat and contains all the known properties of pi.
Therefore, it is possible that not any finite sequence of non-repeating numbers would appear somewhere in Pi.
