I'm more proud of these bookshelves than this Lamborghini.

Have you ever read The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K Leguin I think?

It is a science fiction novel that basically discusses the role of gender in society by looking at a race of genderless people. Not totally accurate for you but since you went through most of your life not heavily influenced by either male or female sex hormones I thought it might be relevant to you.

So if I go to a brothel, can I actually request to see the results of the lab work? Or is it a 'take your word for it' kind of thing? Do people ever try to time their visits to coincide with the "all clear"?

Hey guys! I'm currently writing my dissertation using poker as a testbed and stumbled upon this whole poker playing computer stuff when my adviser suggested I "build a poker simulator" to test my theories. Haha.

My questions:

  1. Does this bot use the counterfactual regret minimization technique?
  2. What makes this bot better than Claudico?
  3. What made you poker pros even want to do this? Are you guys getting some of that sweet Carnegie money?
  4. Any advice for us academics just now getting our feet wet?
  5. I saw an article online about using AI to identify skin cancer. Obviously, this isn't just about poker. Do you guys see yourself trying to apply these skills to other fields?
  6. Do you guys ever overlap/work with the CPRG in Alberta?
  7. The Cepheus team claimed to have "Solved" HULP. Given that you're playing no limit, how big of a jump do you think that actually is?
