Rolling last.fm thread 2009 no haters!

It will sort itself out. It says now

Your musical compatibility with lexpretend is Very Low

Music you have in common includes The Bug, PJ Harvey, Ricardo Villalobos and School of Seven Bells.

However if you visit my page it's entirely possible it will say something completely different.
I did like the idea of you having listened to Parliament and Marnie Stern though.

^^no idea what this is - presumably on some sort of mix

http://www.last.fm/user/lexpretend/library/music/marnie+stern

^^gave her a try when people first started going nuts over her, found it completely impenetrable, a bit headachey and generally pointless

lex i sent you parliament and funkadelic albums. I guess you only managed one song.

no the links expired :(

that song is on the prins thomas cosmo galactic prism mix from a few years back, anyway

now that's what i'm talkin bout

i don't actually understand what they've recalibrated btw

its a new algorithm. but they dont say whats new about it

it's definitely changed things quite a bit, i can swear I checked lex's before and I had low with him, now:

Your musical compatibility with lexpretend is High

I also had low before for pfunkboy, now:

Your musical compatibility with trailofgybe is Medium

Music you have in common includes Can, Don Caballero, Miles Davis, Boris and Funkadelic.

i still don't trust it: have gone to a few users i was pretty much 100% super-compatibility with before, and it still says low.

they should really say how they changed it and why or it just seems slightly arbitrary.

its changed for some people and not for others. so maybe the new algorithm hasn't been applied to everyone yet.

anyway all of you check your neighbours page. It's totally different now.
A Belgian friend of mine (no, not nath) is now my top neighbour!

heyyy cis is my neighbour now!

Yeah its still working its way through the system. by the end of the week it should all be done.

all my neighbours are totally different now. Alan N and Harpal are gone. No ilxors in it now.

greysunkencunt, my top neighbour is totally gone and Kenan, the only ilxor in my neighbourhood is also gone.

jed_ is a neighbour now, but not mike harper who used to be my top neighbour.

Adam will still be very low with everyone

Is there anyone here math-savvy-geeky enought to try to GUESS what the last.fm algorithm is?

Or perhaps just make one up anyway?

I'm guessing it's something like

SUM(Directly Matching Band * Your Plays * Neighbor's Plays) + SUM(Adjacent band * your plays * neighbor's plays * 0.5) + SUM(Two-degrees-away band * your plays * neighbor's plays * 0.25) + etc.

Too bad there's no BBCode for mathematical notation. :(

Don't say things like that. I'd hate people reading this thread to think it's full of nerds..

Okay, I logged out and in and now the new calibrations work.

Your musical compatibility with reverenddollars is Very Low

Music you have in common includes The Bug, Matmos, Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis and Liquid Liquid.

Adam is the columbian still your neighbour?

I don't think so.

We've still got some bad data cached for users whose tasteometers you viewed in the past 24 hours; we should be clearing it out later today, but in the meantime you'll get new tasteometer scores for user pages you haven't seen in the past 24 hours and the old scores for those you have.

In summary: this should now be fixed, but the data will take a little time to propogate.

Weird, that there a couple people I either had good compatibility with or feel like I should have good compatibility with who rated as Low. (xp: pfunkboy's note probably explains that) I would like to note that me and Colonel Poo's top shared artist is Biz Markie. XD

ok it seems to have just increased everyone's compatibility - people i was medium with are now very high, people i was high with are super &c - maybe in response to people complaining about how they were low with everyone?

or the rollout of the new algorithm is now complete and all servers are fully updated

I wonder if compatibility is going to change often as users play more stuff. That would be really good.

Weekly changes would be great.
