I don’t think “just throw a single coin” really captures how I Ching divination traditionally works. The classical Dayan method is based on human participation through division and transformation. It is the only divination method recorded i

There appears a flight of dragons without heads. Good fortune. That's literally what the I Ching calls "good fortune." Competition, when no single dragon monopolizes the sky, brings fortune for all.

Understood. But my priority is whether the words express my thoughts crystal clear — clarity over style.

Let alone PyTorch, which greatly boosted the entire LLM wave. Thanks, Meta. Those who benefit others deserve to be benefited in return — and if we could, we should help make them more fit.
