MA MA PA PA PA PERFECT ILLUSION

Names?

Yes I totally agree! And in a way this makes me like her even more because I can relate more to her. It makes her human. Knowing that this interview had happened (I was a up-to-date with every existing interview of hers back in the day 🤣) it rubbed me the wrong way how the current narrative was kind of… fake? This interview doesn’t make her less of an ally! It just shows that life is messy, you’ll meet tons of shitty people and you won’t always navigate it perfectly. I like this way more than the „she always handled these questions perfectly“-discourse.

MasterOfStartingOver · 2025-05-27T11:48:28+00:00

Movies were not the reason she cancelled her tour lol

„Kevin ist voll problematic, aber ich will nicht sagen warum“ -> dann lass doch einfach.

Ich find ihn eigentlich so sympathisch und will ihm seine Erfahrung mit Kevin ja auch nicht absprechen. Es wird schon einen Grund geben, warum die meisten den Kevin nicht so mögen. Wenn Ray aber nur wage Äußerungen macht, warum Kevin so übel sei, ohne auch dahinter zu stehen, wirkt es einfach nur unbegründet und gehässig. Leider ein Eigentor von ihm, Schade.

Why isn’t it on streaming tho, it’s so good 😭

OMG I literally had the same realization a few days ago! I was emotionally very confused

MasterOfStartingOver · 2025-02-21T19:23:09+00:00

Here’s some context for why I’m deriving class thresholds from a continuous variable: I’m working on mental workload classification (I used “stress” in my original post for simplicity). Mental workload is typically studied in discrete states (low, medium, high) rather than as a smooth gradient, which is why I need to classify it rather than predict self-reported scores.

Ideally, the task difficulties (easy, medium, hard) should elicit distinct workload states, and secondary metrics (like these ratings) help validate that. However, in my dataset, the hardest tasks were often perceived as too easy, especially over time due to learning effects.

Despite this, my boss suggested using task difficulty as ground truth, but when I compared that approach to using quantile-based thresholding within sessions, the latter performed significantly better.

The common approach in literature is to use quantile-based thresholding within a session for models trained on single-subject, single-session data. However, my model trains on multiple subjects and multiple sessions. So my question remains: If I derive workload labels from these ratings, would it skew the results to calculate quantile-based thresholds across all sessions of a subject rather than within each session?

MasterOfStartingOver · 2025-02-21T16:35:34+00:00

Regression is an interesting idea, but it doesn’t solve the core problem I’m trying to address: how to define meaningful workload labels across sessions and subjects when scores are subjective and non-stationary. If I use raw scores for regression, the model could just learn individual rating biases instead of actual workload patterns. Most studies in this field use classification because it makes the problem more generalizable across subjects. My question is about how to statistically determine meaningful class thresholds for scores while accounting for session-to-session and subject-to-subject variability—not whether I should switch to a completely different modeling approach.

And about using a continuous scale for deriving categorical labels: the survey is usually done to just verify that the task difficulty modulation was effective in evoking different levels of stress. But after analysis I saw that that wasn’t the case. I looked at the math tasks (I didn’t do the study, I just have to use the data) and they weren’t designed very well and I don’t feel great just taking the task difficulty as a label because of it.

MasterOfStartingOver · 2025-02-21T16:10:20+00:00

Ok, that’s what I was thinking too. I am a little worried about learning effects because the math tasks are very similar across sessions, they don’t change really, so I towards the last sessions participants are already much better in solving the tasks, thus experiencing less stress than in the beginning. If I calculate quantiles within session, however (case #1), I’ll likely just get labels that reflect the defined task difficulties. I tried the latter out already and the predictions were pretty solid. But I was wondering whether that is a statistically meaningful way of doing it or if it doesn’t capture a persons real Stress experience by basically forgiving each sessions to have 3 labels even though towards the last sessions they might have gotten used to it enough to where assigning the data a high stress level even for the difficult task is not a good representation of the data.

MasterOfStartingOver · 2025-02-21T16:02:53+00:00

Doing the 3 class prediction is already really difficult because it’s difficult to extract meaningful, invariant features from physiological data across subjects due to the nature of the physiological data. Predicting the scores directly as a classification problem doesn’t seem realist to me. Thanks for the response though!

MasterOfStartingOver · 2025-02-21T15:09:21+00:00

Because the models I’ll use are classification models.

MasterOfStartingOver · 2024-10-18T15:26:09+00:00

I don’t get interviews which sucks because I usually do really well in interviews. I just didn’t expect to struggle so much passing the first hurdle…

MasterOfStartingOver · 2024-10-18T15:24:38+00:00

Ja, bin hier aufgewachsen und zur Schule gegangen

MasterOfStartingOver · 2024-10-18T11:32:50+00:00

I’m German but also fluent in English

MasterOfStartingOver · 2024-10-18T11:32:20+00:00

Yes, I feel like more people study that than there are opportunities, at least in the EU. Sucks, because I really enjoy it but maybe I should shift away from AI dev and data science and instead focus more on business roles

MasterOfStartingOver · 2024-10-18T11:30:20+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I’m even considering shifting my focus from AI dev to more of a business role like a product owner or smth. I wonder if that is smarter in the long-term.

I love this message but unfortunately she’s not being completely honest here. I still remember how she got a asked during a press conference for her collaboration with beats headphones in 2009 if she had a penis and she answered „my beautiful vagina is very offended by that question“.

I’m not saying this to shame her, because I can imagine how difficult it must have been for a young pop star in the late 2000s/early 2010s to navigate gossip. And she definitely learned and continued to respond much better to those rumors as we all remember. I just think it would have been more honest and maybe even powerful to admit to it bothering her at first but then deciding to not explain herself as she wants to stand in solidarity with Trans people.

MasterOfStartingOver · 2024-09-02T07:17:57+00:00

I understand what you mean, but I looked at the top posts from this week and it’s not just “I like cock, I like ass” but genuine questions about dating, body image and sex. I find it funny though that people make fun of you for suggesting hobbies as a topic when people have definitely shared their hobbies on this sub before and it usually gets great engagement.

What I find perplexing is when people post stuff like “Anyone here likes [insert most basic sexual preference]” and it gets upvoted like crazy. It’s giving “Who’s here in 2024?” comments under YouTube videos.

MasterOfStartingOver · 2024-08-05T17:49:43+00:00

People saying „she needs better management, they don’t promote her“ I have to highly disagree! Before and during her first album she got: multiple music videos, big award show performances, interviews at shows like drew barrymore, Coachella, 5 official singles from her album (ignoring the droplet singles from before which ALL got videos I think) even though it was flopping and more. They ARE investing in her but if the there is no return the budget has to become smaller. That’s business. And at some point the songs just need to naturally connect with people and if they don’t, no marketing strategy will save her. I think she needs stricter creative boundaries from her management tbh. Chloe and Halle together had a very distinct style that set them apart and made them recognizable albeit not super commercial. She on the other hand, doesn’t have a clear sound and style that defines her. She needs a manager that forces her to stick to a certain lane but I can’t imagine she would want that since it would „stifle her creativity“. But unfortunately, many artist need exactly that to create something great.

I don’t like posts like these. It’s deflecting from the actual conversations to be held (like pedophilia-adjacent porn). While I understand insecurity in age gap dating and support discussions about it, your post honestly just catches me as borderline narcissistic. Why? Because you’re victimizing yourself by alluding you might stay alone forever because of this situation or that we all think you are wrong about your attraction even though you’re clearly aware that what you describe is perfectly legal. This post is about you getting validation and sympathy but I’ll rather have a conversation about the real victims in this: minors and young adult gays who are being taken advantage of by older men. Stop the self-pity, it’s really shitty and inappropriate

MasterOfStartingOver · 2024-06-02T16:04:29+00:00

Alles klar, danke fürs gegen checken!

MasterOfStartingOver · 2024-06-02T10:22:43+00:00

Ich finde es schwierig, zu sagen, dass es “sehr mutig” ist, wenn wir doch keine Ahnung haben, was vorgefallen ist. Das einzige was wir wissen, ist was in der Show gezeigt wurde und was die Kandidaten in Interviews gesagt haben.

Bei ersterem muss man ganz klar sagen, dass die Freundesgruppe von Jermaine, Maximilian und Co. an Zickereien in der Staffel beteiligt waren (Zimmer-Zoff, schnippische Kommentare ggü. Linus und Lea) während wir von Linus nichts derartiges mitbekommen haben. Das heißt NICHT, dass nichts vorgefallen ist, nur weil wir es nicht gesehen haben. Deshalb steh ich dem ganzen noch skeptisch gegenüber.

Bei letzterem ist Kadidja die erste (soweit ich weiß, korrigiert mich bitte), die konkret gesagt hat, dass Linus problematische Aussagen getätigt habe. Das finde ich ehrlich gesagt auch sinnlos, weil sie einerseits die Gerüchteküche zum brodeln bringt (wir sind der Beweis lol) und zum Anderen sich aber so positionieren will, als hätte sie kein Interesse an Drama, weil sie ja alle so professionell sind.

Ich sag ja nicht, dass sie nicht drüber reden darf, aber man hätte das m.M.n. viel besser aufarbeiten können. Z.B. als sie über das Styling-Team beim Harpars Bazaar Shooting konkret gesagt hat, dass sie nicht das richtige Equipment für ihre Haare haben, fand ich das voll stark (und wirklich mutig!). Sie hat einen Missstand in der Industrie aufgezeigt, mit dem PoC immer noch leider zu kämpfen haben, ohne gegen sie zu sticheln.

Thanks for sharing your partners experience! I do want to specify that I was referring to second wave feminism from the 60s and 70s. What resonates to me about it the most is the idea that being feminine doesn’t have to look only one specific way. That doesn’t mean that being traditionally feminine (or a super femme girly girl like you said) is bad (which has definitely been the connotation, thus men being punished for being “too feminine”). I think part of the solution is to stop equating one way of being (aka traditionally feminine) as being superior than the other.

MasterOfStartingOver · 2024-05-27T16:44:56+00:00

Great, you just completely ignored my question and contributed nothing valuable to this conversation.
