@jxnlco Rare L take Jason. The correct angle was: even dspy won't save you from looking at your data, understanding your users and extracting the value.

why dspy usually wastes your time (and when it doesn't) the question: "should i use dspy for prompt optimization? it seems like the perfect tool for improving my rag system." the answer: dspy is great for very specific, well-defined tasks. but for most rag systems, it's a distraction from what actually moves the needle. here's the reality: dspy works best when you have a clear classification task with measurable accuracy. think 35-class categorization where you can hill-climb on a single metric. but most rag problems aren't like that. when i'm building a system to extract sales insights from transcripts, i don't have a dataset of "here are all the sales insights." the real work is extracting everything, hand-labeling some examples, and building intuition about what users actually need. your product isn't just a prompt - it includes how you collect feedback, set expectations in the ui, handle data extraction, and represent chunks in context. if you spend time looking at how the model makes mistakes and what users are asking for, you'll make much more progress improving the product as a whole. the one place dspy shines: llm-as-judge scenarios. if you have a tonality or factuality evaluation you really care about, it makes sense to label 100 examples yourself and then use prompt optimization tools to create your own judge that aligns with your grades. but for most rag systems? you're better off manually tweaking prompts while building intuition about your specific use case. that intuition will guide better decisions across your entire system architecture.

Mages look good, maybe slight buffs needed?

@ChanTV_ @Whaazz @Raiku_Wow @JuhaniHalme 🐐

An end of an era. When @Whaazz approached me to compete again at the end of 2022 together with @Raiku_Wow and @JuhaniHalme, I never thought we’d find as much success as we did. I wanted to be the only player to win a major in both NA & EU, and with that goal being well

@bicmex I'm getting massive blink bug vibes from the map

new arena map for people wondering

@iamniksi Aka short king 👑

for the football enjoyers

@CalGelu Pretty sure they will (eventually) make pet ability cd shared if this goes through. Careful what you wish for ;)

dno about this one chiefs

@ElliottVenczel @Metaphors__ I remember that gladiatorlossa (the thing that announced spells per voice) was absolutely ridiculed even at the end of MOP. Weakauras are far beyond anything like that (also an old man👴)

@Metaphors__ Tournament players practiced without addons, true. However, many ladder players used UIs like this even the original WoTLK. Nothing wrong with people enjoying Cata and using all the tools at their disposal. (Also an old man 👴)

I don't care if I sound like an old grumpy man it's the fucking truth, this is not "cataclysm classic" this is legit retail with a UI like this. The warlock I played with in cata used a stopwatch to track kick for tournaments. I don't want to see another old expansion released

@DjemDruid teamwork makes the dream come true

We were falling behind vs an rsham in shuffle, nice mid round adaptation by @ABCalec Turns out if you just cooperate with teammates instead of flaming them you have a much nicer time in shuffle, take notes people

@Zen_lyn Winner take

I can say this safely because I've queued more solo shuffle than any player. If you're a healer below 2k rating, just heal, dont do dont cc dont go close to anyone, just heal, dont try to do fancy stuff, just heal, heal until ur oom then after that improve elsewhere

@Zorbrix @Warcraft @WarcraftDevs Congratulations!!

Ding! I'm thrilled to announce that today is my first day as the newest Lead Game Producer on @Warcraft! I truly cannot believe it, but I'm so stoked that I get to keep making this game I love. Let's go! First order of business, let's talk Turnip Demon Hunters @WarcraftDevs

@Jahvilli Love wow and think it has great potential + it's much more complex (and the top players are much more skilled) than people give it credit for. It's hard to follow & casuals/competitors have very different & at times clashing perspectives of the game making it a hard business case

WoW Arena is by far the closest thing to majority of the most successful and mainstream sports in the world. Every class represents a specific playstyle and role to their team, and the skillcap is limitless (when developers are doing their job and consistently making effective changes to the game). Its very clear that WoW arena has the potential to be the greatest esport ever created and it was very close to achieving that for a time. Unfortunately Blizzard's lack of effort/ego/ incompetance has been unable to keep the game from growing into what its always meant to be. Bonus: 1v1s have always been to closest thing to MMA that any e-sport has ever seen (as well as SSB Melee), which is an incredibly fast growing sport that will most likely break the top 5 in terms of popularity soon.

@ferconx @WarcraftDevs None of your arguments adress the underlying issues: If there is a warlock & the enemy team doesn't have curse dispell, then one of the dps can never crit. Doesn't matter who they hit or what they do, one of them can never crit.

@ABCalec @WarcraftDevs I think its ok its not like they can put it on all targets and also how is this fair to train 1 person for 3 mins and not be able to use something to make class feel more safe in Exchange. Its not like classes also cant dispel it plus there are dps who can dispel plus other stuff

Would you reconsider how amplify cusre (weakness) works in pvp? Most shuffle lobbies/3scomps do not have curse dispell & people are unaware/uncoordinated. 0% Crit chance is very opressive, considering 20s cd / 20s duration @WarcraftDevs

@pizzadawgDK Has anyone done the math to compare Ret (w new talents) to bear form?

everyone is talking about judge dispel but lets not forget that blizzard gave ret paladins barkskin but stronger when they already have 4 ways to get themselves and their teammates out of stuns and cc. nerf divine protection from 30% to 15% or make it not usable while stunned.

@JLuuxiA @WarcraftDevs @WarcraftDevs please guys

THIS IS PEAK GAMEPLAY. AWC IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS CAN'T WAIT TO COMPETE ! 🤡🤡 @WarcraftDevs

@WarcraftDevs please have a look at PvP it's completely unenjoyable.
