#student data

[alimicart]

I am clinically insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I decided to use memory of looping, which gives you +5 hp per loop and the death corridor to get Siffrin to max hp because someone had to do it.

Here’s some data because I’m a cringe STEM major!!!!

Starting hp: 495

+100 hp per every 20 loops

+500 hp per every 100 loops

+1000 hp per every 200 loops

I had calculated that about 1900 loops would be needed to get to that hp, but I must’ve been 1 or so short as I had to get to loop 1902 and I could’ve sworn that I started on loop 1 not loop 2.

I started tracking the amount of loops per hour late so the data from the beginning is missing but the average Loops per hour was 188.625 Lph

If I could attach a data table I would, but I’m not sure how to format that so you’re just gunna have to trust me on that number lol.

Coding, cat café, sunset, and a long weekend.

Can’t get any better than that, I think.

(via Vending machine error reveals secret face image database of college students | Ars Technica)

Canada-based University of Waterloo is racing to remove M&M-branded smart vending machines from campus after outraged students discovered the machines were covertly collecting facial-recognition data without their consent.

The scandal started when a student using the alias SquidKid47 posted an image on Reddit showing a campus vending machine error message, "Invenda.Vending.FacialRecognitionApp.exe," displayed after the machine failed to launch a facial recognition application that nobody expected to be part of the process of using a vending machine.

"Hey, so why do the stupid M&M machines have facial recognition?" SquidKid47 pondered.

The Reddit post sparked an investigation from a fourth-year student named River Stanley, who was writing for a university publication called MathNEWS.

Stanley sounded alarm after consulting Invenda sales brochures that promised "the machines are capable of sending estimated ages and genders" of every person who used the machines without ever requesting consent.

This frustrated Stanley, who discovered that Canada's privacy commissioner had years ago investigated a shopping mall operator called Cadillac Fairview after discovering some of the malls' informational kiosks were secretly "using facial recognition software on unsuspecting patrons."

Only because of that official investigation did Canadians learn that "over 5 million nonconsenting Canadians" were scanned into Cadillac Fairview's database, Stanley reported. Where Cadillac Fairview was ultimately forced to delete the entire database, Stanley wrote that consequences for collecting similarly sensitive facial recognition data without consent for Invenda clients like Mars remain unclear.

Stanley's report ended with a call for students to demand that the university "bar facial recognition vending machines from campus."

what the motherfuck

Fucking funniest thing is, the FBI seizes any links that lead to the genuine Z-Library, but without fail leave up all the scam ones that pretend to be fundraising for Z-Lib.

Anyway, if you have a Z-library login and use it on any z-lib link that ends .is, .io, .to babes you're being scammed! Check the security of the email address you've used and also if you're reusing that particular password anywhere, change it ASAP. If you have made a transaction, block it PRONTO!

Z-lib exists on the concept of free access to books, you have previously been and will always be allowed a limited download of 3 (or 5 or 10) downloads a day, depending on whether you have an account or have made donations.

See, Z-library has fundraised in the past, but they will never cut off your access for not donating. Do you know how much IP law-related trouble they'd be in if they were explicitly charging for access to books that the US legal system already views as 'stolen'?

There are a few ways of accessing them now, most are through torrenting (need help? Reddit or Telegram apparently), many of the regular browser web URLs have been seized.

When in doubt, do not click. Trust your instincts if you feel anything is off. If you're unsure about a z lib link, try a libgen mirror or something else instead.

Posting this here because I know a LOT of readers, students, broke folks that would like access to books, other folks with geographical barriers; basically a lot of folks who might potentially use something like Z-Library. So FYI and heads up, stay safe out there. Change that password! (And feel free to reblog this, again for aforementioned reasons)

13/100 days of productivity

i am slowly getting my head above water, not only by getting things done but by realizing people don't secretly hate me (i know but be patient i only realized this yesterday)

academically speaking: python python python different types of regressions different models python python data tables APIs python python pyt*loses her mind*

here a close up of my report for my Logistic Regression model!! for those not versed in the language, it says FUCK YOU :D!!!! (basically you taking a random guess ≈ the work I put in for the last 3-4 weeks lol)

with no more quick tricks up my sleeve, I am going back to the basics (im not happy bout it ;-;)

at least I didn't cry at the results. just sipped my awful drink (I forgot how awful it was 😔) & acknowledged what I am doing is serious stuff. there's some character development :') also the plan is to read through the notebook of a similar project and analyse the data again. maybe that will get me somewhere...?

[herpersonafire]

Hey everyone! enjoying my (two) week break of uni, so I've been lazy and playing games. Today, working on Python, I'm just doing repetition of learning the basics; Variables, Data types, Logic statements, etc. Hope everyone has a good week!

Quil I have a question for you and your followers

So when you were in middle/high school (or the equivalent of) did you all say thank you to your teachers as you left the room, along with a good bye? Because I realize that I instinctively do it, as do a lot of other kids at my school, and I want to know if this is a universal experience for others or not.

Well, let's see!

Personally, I think it depended on whether I walked past them? If I had to go past their desk I'd say bye, but otherwise hit or miss depending on if I liked them. But, at least high school, I tended to sit up front more, so I'd walk past them more, and ergo said bye more.

nobody tells u that science is like 90% spreadsheets

[risquemargay]

raaah i hate reading what seems to be a really interesting researchh study in a different country and it ends up just being: here's what they do and why what we do in the u.s. is always good and their way is bad like. i think there can be more than one way to do things and that's okay

[baharnoth]

sometimes I forget that my schools art department follows me on insta and they see my posts about data and spirk...

[stemgirlchic]

data analysis is rly like

it's so over we're so back it's so over we're so back it's so over

i know, i know, negative results don't make my work any less valid but cmon please give me something
