With Al the hype around LLMs, it pains me to see how terribly neglected other ML tools have become. Classifiers, in particular. Yes, you can use an #llm for classification, but it’s about the same as using a chainsaw to cut your salad. It’s terribly inefficient.

Anyone else enjoy reading old source books almost as much as playing the games? Or even games never played.

I need help working on my game's balance!
Can anyone recommend a good book on game balance, risk and reward, scaling/difficulty/progression?
I don't even have the proper terminology to ask for exactly what I'm looking for. I'm not looking for a high level treatise on game theory though […]

This #bbc thing is baffling to me. It is pure kowtowing to fascism. In what way was the edited video misleading? People might be misled into thinking what? That Trump intended people to storm the capital, like they, in fact, did?

I've been on a 2-month pad thai binge and I have tried about eight different restaurants (we are blessed with many! ❤️ ABQ).

It's fucked up that SNAP is a political football and didn't phase anyone but 10% delayed flights are a "serious issue" that is bringing politicians to the table.
