My theory: Randall got some interesting patterns drawing stars for the previous [[Gravity]] game, and wanted to show us how cool this one looks.

Kudos to whomever used "datum" in its correct singular form. And also a kudo to the same person for their use of "data" correctly.

: Anti-kudos for neglecting the etymology of kudos, ancient Greek κῦδος. In spite of ending in "s" it's a singular noun that means praise. Would a singular kudo be a pray or a prey?

In the business of quality engineering it's all too common for the lab to be asked to neglect "bad" data points. The method is known as "Test until good." -- "Aha! You finally got one data point that says the stuff's okay. Ship it!"

This comic finally explains the reason for the diffraction spikes on the stars in JWST images. | This comic finally explains the reason for the diffraction spikes on the stars in JWST images. | ||
− | to be fair, there are certain data points which are mainly important in comparison to widely understood baselines, not to other data points in the actual test. things like fusion-energy-gain numbers, rocket ISP, nuclear warhead yield, etc. For those types of results, one valid data point that breaks the previous record is all that really matters. | + | [[Special:Contributions/172.70.126.232|172.70.126.232]] 01:32, 21 December 2022 (UTC) to be fair, there are certain data points which are mainly important in comparison to widely understood baselines, not to other data points in the actual test. things like fusion-energy-gain numbers, rocket ISP, nuclear warhead yield, etc. For those types of results, one valid data point that breaks the previous record is all that really matters. |
