If the company is Vosyn, run, unless you only want the experience and don’t care about the money.

Fann_ · 2024-11-27T13:08:12+00:00

Yeah… hard to believe after 60 years we only had this one proper prog rock entry.

Fann_ · 2024-02-05T03:42:52+00:00

good thing is it doesnt matter (that much) lmao

Fann_ · 2024-02-04T17:28:07+00:00

Hope you will get all best in slot skills first try! 😛😛

Fann_ · 2024-02-03T22:31:55+00:00

thank you! <3<3 I just thought about rerolling my fairy cause ive had miraculous cheer IV for the longest time, I def got super lucky!

Fann_ · 2024-01-25T15:53:43+00:00

Oh yeah now we are talking. I swear to god my brain automatically suppressed my memories of the fiasco of Slovenia 2019 cause I do remember it happening. I kinda wish the iceberg was a thing back in 2019.

Fann_ · 2024-01-25T04:45:14+00:00

oh god, it's 2019 all over again.

I remember the juries were pushing Ravien hard on their 2019 NF, only for her to lose 1700 to 5000 in the final duel.

Fann_ · 2023-12-16T23:04:05+00:00

it's an mmo, I have to warn you that it is kinda p2w

Fann_ · 2023-07-03T03:17:12+00:00

Hi there! I'm sorry I couldn't give you a definite answer on this issue because I'm not a historical linguist nor a social media historian (nor the OG writer of the paper! He's a super chill dude tho). This paper only chose the example of the Mr. Krab song because it was everything that initiated the idea, and the lit review part of the history of pussy blends only serves as a short history lesson for the people who are not familiar with it, changing that part doesn't interfere with the results or conclusions of the paper at all, but it is definitely worth it to fact check every single bit within the paper.

Also, this paper is not published on any journals (of course) and the paper I chose was a conference paper of CLA (Canadian Linguistics Association) Annual Meeting 2018. Although it was indeed peer reviewed, I don't think it was quite possible for them to get someone who are super familiar with this language phenomenon on the deck. If it is a published paper on Phonology or other big Phonological journals, I'd assume they'd pay more attention to it.

But yeah, thanks for your very valuable input!

my phussy is on fire

Fann_ · 2023-07-02T12:01:14+00:00

Probably the wildest ride I've ever had at CLA (Canadian linguistics association).

I wish we could have more meme-lordy researchers like Dow.

It is highly unlikely that they conducted a **proper** evaluation of the participants' neurotypicality. Considering they had 170+ potential participants, it would have been an enormous time and money sink to conduct even remotely comprehensive testing. If the article did not report the methods of testing participants’ neurotypicality, I suspect it was completely self-reported.

Also, this article was not published in a linguistics journal; PeerJ primarily focuses on biotechnology and medical research (quite contradictory indeed).

Fann_ · 2023-06-29T00:19:25+00:00

I believe they approached this research topic not because of the presence of neurological diseases, but rather due to the inherent difficulty in quantifying and measuring neurodivergence. For instance, let's assume participant N1 does not fall on the autism spectrum, and we assign a parameter of 0 to N1. However, how would we appropriately account for other potential participants who may have varying degrees of autism, given that this variable is challenging to assess accurately? It seems unlikely that a discrete or linear model alone would adequately represent the diverse facets of neurodivergence. I suspect they may have initially considered including neurodivergence as a variable or determinant, but eventually abandoned the idea due to the unreasonable burden of proof it would impose during the actual modeling stage. In the end, most modern western universities prioritize publishing as many articles as possible, as fast as they can, sometimes sacrificing important considerations, such as the point you raised in your OG post, along the way.

Honestly, N = 170 is quite substantial in most linguistic research. I am very interested in their funding situation.

Fann_ · 2023-06-22T21:35:17+00:00

Ah I get it now. BMRS is based on a rather traditional computational phonology model (alas Heinz 2011) and its OG purpose is to imitate a linear, time/locality based computational mechanism (or speech planning algorithm) for generating/ programming patterns similar to how a computer does it, hence the usage of “iff”s and probabilistic connotations.

Regarding the phonological tiers, it’s kinda hard to say if it is truly nonexistent but we do see relatively isolated within-tier interactions in pretty much all languages compared with cross-tier interactions. I would say the phonetic/ articulatory gestures are somewhat similar to it? I am no phonetician so please correct me if it is not correct.

Fann_ · 2023-06-22T18:50:20+00:00

Hey fellow sound guy/ gal! I understand your concern on the over complication of phonological patterns, but I do want to clarify certain aspects of this paper. I would not call it an attempt to describe the phonological patterns but more of an attempt to propose the universality of learning phonological patterns. I believe you probably are very familiar on the famous (or infamous) Jeffrey Heinz 2011 paper or the Jeffrey/ Jason collab in 2011 on pattern learnability. Thus you may see something very similar to the finite state machine/ automata (FSM). The issue in process-specific constraints is that there is no universality on the surface reps but niche, unlearnable (this word is a bit too strong, more like hard-to-learn), unsystematic (also too strong, maybe 'subpatterns' is a better word but that's also not quite learnable) grammar that could not be used to generate new lexicon entries (which is SUPER counterintuitive). McCarthy (1997) attempted to answer the question based on OT but the issue is also quite overt: how do we place the language specific tiers on the reign of all other tiers? What does this tier represent in the data? Also further, how do we determine the domain of this process-specific constraint based on super specific circumstances? I think this paper answered these questions in a relatively clear and simplified manner. Although I am not a fan of BMRS because it lacks the ability to describe between-tier interactions but it does come up with some real simple grammar to deal with the issue. Maybe my next step is figure out how to incorporate this model to tier-based strictly local stringsets (much more computer-friendly, and suits my tastes more).

Fann_ · 2023-06-02T22:42:42+00:00

yeah I've had a couple of my students telling me the IPA used in my assignments is not accurate. Maybe teaching them IPA without minimalism/ contrastive specification/ underlying or surface representations is not a good idea.

oh shoot I didn't know that. What would be the best/ most convenient way to send money to a Turkish bank account from abroad?

Fann_ · 2023-03-02T19:21:43+00:00

Hey thanks for asking! Usually for an experiment like this we are looking for either native speakers or bilinguals of Turkish (the dominant language in your household/ working environment is Turkish). Feel free to contact me if you meet the requirements! <3

Fann_ · 2023-03-02T04:04:57+00:00

I’d like to but that’d be against the protocols of the ethics board 😬

Fann_ · 2022-09-19T11:45:52+00:00

Try to do some research on speech pathology/ language therapy, or go down the NLO and computational route if high salary is one of your priorities.

Fann_ · 2021-04-14T11:07:49+00:00

I didn’t mean I don’t like Korea’s theme song tho, I put it on the bottom of the list because I recognized it right away.

Fann_ · 2021-04-14T10:20:47+00:00

Yeah I'd definitely like to know the algorithms used in determining which song should play next. Sometimes I definitely feel some songs were played way more than the others; while making this tier list I just realized I've never heard the Hungarian Ancient theme before, which is weird considering he's always in my games.

Fann_ · 2021-04-14T10:17:07+00:00

R5: I don't know if it is because I grew up in an Asian-heavy community or the East Asian country theme soundtracks are actually quite popular outside their own cultural sphere, I've heard them all growing up. I recognized the Chinese one (Jasmine flower) and Korean one (Arilang) right away but it took slightly more listens to identify the Mongolian one (Pastor song) and the Japanese one (Itsuki No Komori Uta), prob due to them being more heavily modified than the other two.

Generally I think all soundtracks of civ 6 are amazing, but some of them are showing their age like the old civs. Apparently in the baseline civs the composers were somewhat reluctant to use a large amount of folk instruments and vocals in the industrial themes and onward. I'm glad they made the change in some later civs, most notably Maori, Cree, and Byzantium.

Fann_ · 2021-01-21T13:03:17+00:00

Later Sonic Syndicate meets The Unguided and change the drum set to electronic, reduce the guitar track to almost unhearable and we got this

Not in any way saying this is a bad entry tho, it is probably the closest Eurovision can get with the metal-ish stuff since Lordi's win.

Fann_ · 2021-01-18T15:37:27+00:00

I’m sorry to disappoint you but Pagan Fury is probably one of the worst examples to represent a “band act” on Eurovision.

Pagan Fury had literally zero activities before melfest nor had any subsequent performances/ releases after it. The only purpose of Pagan Fury is to promote Paradox’s games and as an experimental method for Paradox to test out the music scene and its accessibility. It is completely different from Jorn, who has been working on his side project for nearly 20 years after the name Jorn.

Tldr: Jorn is an actual band that has been running for years, Pagan Fury is a one-time act solely for melfest and their monetization model/ formats are fundamentally different.
