Validation Vampire

Key traits of a validation vampire:
• Constant need for praise and attention
• Self-focused; conversations center on their needs
• Frequent complaining and victimhood
• Little emotional reciprocity
• Blames others for their problems
• Leaves others feeling drained

How they drain energy:

• People-pleasing as a way to earn validation
• Creating drama or crises to attract attention
• Relying on others for continuous emotional reassurance

She avoids spending too much time with him because he turns every interaction into an opportunity to feed his inner validation vampire.

Cross-Validation

Cross-Validation (CV) - Model validation technique used to evaluate how good a predictive model will perform in practice. It splits data multiple times in different places so the predictive model doesn't guide exclusively on one piece of data and decreasing the risk of overfitting making the model more reliable.

Is your model giving good results?
Yes, ever since I implemented cross-validation.

vagueation

A type of vacation when you spend most of your time being high from drinking and smoking and as a result do not remember anything afterwards.

I had a two weeks' vagueation in Thailand last year. When I came back I found out I had crabs.
