Scientists are portrayed in movies and media as “knowing” everything, no wonder people is confused. Basically they take a mystic cultist character and call it a scientist.

But true scientists would be difficult to film, always having more questions than answers, null hypothesis and margins of error.

> Because of this, implementing speech recognition for whispered speech is more difficult, as the characteristic spectral range needed to detect syllables and words is not given through the total absence of tone.

And again, I literally stated: “To avoid complication of different levels of whispering and whether the lack of vocal chord vibration can be compensated for through other means.” What you’re talking about is included in “compensated for through other means”.

There is still tone and you can adjust it by changing the shape of your mouth. I don't understand why you guys think there is no tone when you can literally adjust the shape of your mouth to create different tones during the word. If you couldn't adjust the sounds coming out, you wouldn't be able to speak at all.

Seriously, I can easily get Wo3 by just adjusting how open my mouth is when I whisper. The larger area created by my mouth opening slightly creates lower frequencies in the whisper.

Those same people rely on monochromatic thinking to get through their daily lives. A lot less energy is spent weighing pros and cons so if someone else appears to be making conflicting statements overtime it’s a lot easier to dismiss as “hacks who can’t even get their story straight”.

There were articles about zoo animals getting Covid as well as pets in 2020, and I remember an article when a tiger died.

SARS (the original not the remake) was a coronavirus and it did go away, after appropriate contention measures. But it didn't have asymptomatic carriers, which made those measures much easier. The moment this one spread out of Wuhan it was already too late.

Slightly different, I'm well aware of that which is why I specified it being sunny last week, as in people thinking last week's sunny weather should mean it couldn't possibly be rainy tomorrow ;)

I might not have worded it quite clearly enough and gave the impression I meant people complaining about current forecasts being wrong. Weather is actually really difficult to predict in quite a few cases, so the level off accuracy we currently have is genuinely impressive, and I wish more people could appreciate that.

And also doesn't understand that weather is just really damn difficult to predict. That humans have figured out the level of accuracy we do get now is genuinely impressive.

Lol, I'm just imagining a chimp that has to deal with scientists sticking things up its bum every day. Like "please not again, I'm still sore"

It would be like the weatherman playing the game of pretending the weather will be dry so when he goes to the shop there are still umbrellas in stock for him and the various other weathermen to buy. Then as soon as supply of umbrellas is not the pressing issue the weatherman admits it’s actually raining.

At some point early on the guidance itself was untruthful. The public were being told that masks were not effective while various hospitals were buying and using them.

I mean you can just probe its butt and look at its colon again and again!

I like this answer. It’s kinda like this phrase but for earthquakes.

“It’s not falling that kills you, it’s the sudden stop.”
