The History of Dungeons & Dragons Isn't What You Think

WIRED

In his new book Slaying the Dragon, Ben Riggs takes a deep dive into the history of TSR, the company behind Dungeons & Dragons. The book, which draws on a wealth of insider accounts and leaked documents, presents a surprising new perspective on the downfall of TSR. "I thought the story was going to be, 'Wizards of the Coast made Magic: The Gathering โ€ฆ and it just sucked all the oxygen out of the room and killed TSR,'" Riggs says in Episode 521 of the Geek's Guide to the Galaxy podcast. "That was the story I was expecting. It was not at all the story I was told. The story I was told was one of mismanagement and mistakes and errors, and a death by a thousand cuts, and a failure to expand, and a failure to find new people to play D&D." TSR products were lavishly illustrated, had great production values, and were affordably priced.


Can we be friends? Dating apps say sex isn't everything in a post-pandemic world

The Japan Times

I've just come out of a long-term lockdown. Instead, they crave the friendships and social groups they have been starved of over the past year. That's the verdict of dating apps such as Tinder and Bumble, which are launching or acquiring new services focused entirely on making and maintaining friends. "There's a really interesting trend that has been taking place in the connection space, which is this desire to have platonic relationships," said Bumble founder and CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd. "People are seeking friendship in ways they would have only done offline before the pandemic."


Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 2, a Nostalgia Trip With Plenty of Growth, Is Right at Home in 2020

TIME - Tech

When skateboarding video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater arrived on the PlayStation in 1999, no one could have expected the cultural impact it would have or how much muscle memory it would ingrain into dedicated fans. It was an enormous hit with skaters and non-skaters alike, helping to usher in a more-mainstream acceptance of skateboarding culture, define a new video game genre and teach tens of thousands the words to Motรถrhead's "Ace of Spades." Twenty-one years after the release of the first game, publisher Activision and developer Vicarious Visions will release Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 2, a ground-up remaster of the first two games, on Sept. 4, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. And while it sticks very closely to its source, the new game feels like it belongs in 2020, with a greater focus on representation and a firm grounding in that angsty skate culture aesthetic. Tony Hawk himself couldn't be more excited about the release. "You don't understand how many people ask me about [Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2]," Hawk told TIME.


Overfitting and Underfitting in Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

In this article, we are going to indulge in two of the most discussed about and important concepts in machine learning which is related to the performance of a model. How do we know a model is performing better? Which model should we choose? For eg: I applied linear regression and decision tree algorithm on the train dataset of a classification problem. From above table, we can see that delta value from decision tree (5%) delta value from linear regression (20%), hence Decision would be perform best in this scenario. Note: Lower the delta value, higher the performance of the model.


How Much are Bad Hires Costing Your Organisation?

#artificialintelligence

Regardless of size, geography or industry, every organisation requires exceptional talent that is both motivated and focused to deliver on customer promises. Yet, it is getting harder to recruit and retain talented, high performing employees. When considering the costs associated with recruiting and on-boarding new employees, making the wrong decision will result in a massive impact for an organisation. "It costs an organisation 200% of a senior hires' annual salary to on board them, this includes recruitment fees, remuneration, back office administration, training and team time. It's very expensive to replace people," says Jason Davies, Africa Head of Leadership, Learning, Talent and Resourcing at Barclay's Africa Group.
