Yes, that's absolutely true and the brutal treatment natives around the world experienced as a result of colonialism shouldn't be downplayed. I'm not acting as a colonial apologist. What irks me is that it seems the popular mindset does appear to be that one of "surprise" of conflict amongst tribes as the parent commenter suggested, unless I misinterpreted them.
Why surprised? Before Europeans arrived, it's not like everybody lived happily ever after in a utopian pastoral lifestyle. They are people too and have fought, murdered, and slaughtered each other just as much as the Europeans did to themselves and to others. I frankly find it a little concerning that just as much emphasis isn't placed on the genocide of the non-existent tribes by those which remain.
This is interesting - I worked on a similar use case by parsing and tokenizing ZooKeeper logs, then converting logs to integer sequences and trying to determine whether or not services were going to experience a fault by training on said sequences, and thus determining what the cause of the fault was/would be. Wasn't too successful but definitely showed me how difficult it can be to work backwards from logs to root cause, esp. with limited data.
This is cool! Have you guys considered going into modern board games too? Some of the rules can be quite complex (1-2 hours explaining rules, getting through the first couple of rounds), and there's quite high demand for people figuring them out on say, TTS. Think Splotter games, Brass, etc.
