In the first case, the subject (object? I always get them confused) is delay (which is singular), and the adjective is "15 minute".
In the second, the thing is "minutes" (plural) modified by "15".

It does. I was looking something up and ran face first into a redacted account that once had the answer I needed. I was very conflicted about it.

Yeah, sorry about that. I did mean the one you were responding to.

Can't tell if bot or posting to the wrong thread...

Yeah going high hasn't exactly been working. Let's give them a (metaphorical) kick in the teeth instead.

Congrats you've fallen into a common stats trap!
You can't know what the average is for the hypothetical society to which you are comparing despite that being the optimal way to compare. If you were to actually attempt this comparison, you would take two comparable societies that differ only in religious adherence, controlling for non religious cultural things (hint: you can't separate those easily if at all). And even if you did manage that, you've only shown correlation, not causation. Proving the latter is much harder.
If it sounds like I'm agreeing with you, I'm not! I'm saying you cannot know one way or another. But your inane, tautological statement of "the average domestic abuse rates for society are about average" drove me to inform others of how terrible this argument is. You're clearly a lost cause.
If you want to prove your point, don't try stats, you're bad at it. Go for a logical argument, though I suspect you're bad at that too.

Jasmine rice. Makes a huge difference if you like white rice. Tastes like from a restaurant and pleasantly sticky.

Very true. I'm behind the US lens on this one so it's easier to speak from what I experience. I know it's... bad... elsewhere.

That's... disingenuous. Lot of stuff happened between those points, including the murder of homosexuals for the crime of existing.
The LGBT community keeps the fight up because complacency gets our rights taken away. Justice Thomas has explicitly stated that gay marriage is on his list of wrongs* to right. To say nothing of Project 2025.

Absolutely. It's why asking it for facts is inherently bad. It can't retain information, it is trained to give output shaped like an answer. It's pretty good at things that don't have a specific answer (I'll never write another cover letter thank blob).
Now, if someone were to have the good sense to have some kind of lookup to inject correct information between the prompt and the output, we'd be cooking with gas. But that's really human labor intensive and all the tech bros are trying to avoid that.

Gradient descent is a common algorithm in machine learning (AI* is a subset of machine learning algorithms). It refers to using math to determine how wrong an answer is in a particular direction and adjusting the algorithm to be less wrong using that information.

And to trick them into banning ranked choice voting.
Edit: spelling

Best use I've had for them (data engineer here) is things that don't have a specific answer. Need a cover letter? Perfect. Script for a presentation? Gets 95% of the work done. I never ask for information since it has no capability to retain a fact.

There's an amendment on the ballot here in Missouri to ban non-citizens from voting this year. Also to ban ever adopting ranked choice voting, but it's really about that non-citizen thing. Totally not ballot candy to do something undemocratic.
If you're in Missouri, vote no on amendment 7 please.

Heh, even AI can't imagine that color being natural.
Not a sockpuppet. I was venting over at !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world about Reddit mods being... Reddit mods. On top of having a good version of offmychest that allows people to be angry at the things that are bugging them, orphiebaby went ahead and made a new community to replace the one I was venting about on behalf of my partner. Cheers to you orphiebaby! This isn't quite the spirit of the sub as I understand it, but you get praise anyway.
So I stopped generally using Reddit after the whole API thing but my husband still does and we talk about stuff since Lemmy gets the job done. One thing he likes is to hop on r/freecompliments and participate there. Well, today he got permanently banned. Why? Because a bot dredged his profile and found that he sometimes participates in porn subreddits. Usually to complement people there, never posting himself. He's pretty ace, so it's rarely, if ever, sexual. But that was enough for the bot to ban him. They sent a message about how they are sfw subreddit and don't allow users to participate in NSFW subreddits. He's heartbroken about it. He really likes to be nice to people and it makes his day when they respond to him. Now he can't do that in a sub that's meant for it. I feel like the site rules have opinions about banning like this, but it's not like the admins give a fuck. So fuck those mods and their puritanical bullshit making at least once persons day worse, for the low cost of a user that was participating in good faith. And since I'm on a roll, fuck spez I tried posting this to trueoffmychest to dredge some sympathy for him, since that seemed appropriate and he was good with it, but they don't allow 'anger' or 'impersonal' posts and that got quietly removed immediately. So fuck them too. I didn't realize how far down the shitter reddit has gone.
