It says right in the summary: "Previous attempts to develop poker-playing AI that can exploit the mistakes of opponents -- whether AI or human -- have generally not been overly successful, says Tuomas Sandholm, a computer scientist at Carnegie Mellon University. Libratus instead focuses on improving its own play, which he describes as safer and more reliable compared to the riskier approach of trying to exploit opponent mistakes."
I find it weird that there's all these rules requiring public companies to disclose all sorts of things, but basic information about how much of product X was sold for Y is a corporate secret.
You don't need to advertise health products unless you can't convince doctors that they're a healthy, necessary solution.
Not everybody goes to doctors for common ailments, and even when they do, times may change and people may not be aware of new solutions. And not all doctors are equally knowledgeable.
You realize the correct parallel would be McCain, not Bush, right? Obama ran against McCain in 2008
McCain wasn't a magnet for dislike like Hillary. Obama ("hope and change") was essentially running against Bush's legacy and a figure of scorn by the left.
Supposedly. On the Internet. Along with a lot of other people that nobody gives a fuck about because they don't go running to the media or the media wouldn't care if they did, because they aren't female or transgender.
You don't think defending the rights of half of the population is a worthwhile part of the struggle?
What rights do they not have or are under threat?
She stood up to a vile hate mob
Played opportunistic politics for attention and victim bucks.
had the opportunity to retire back into obscurity, and now is coming back for more
Translation: Need more attention and victim bucks.
That's a lot more than I can say for a bunch of congressmen that come from a certain party that starts with R and ends with Trump.
I imagine quite a few of them actually achieved something before entering politics.
By denying social pressures as a confounding issue, you're assuming that we've got the nature-nurture thing exactly right, and I don't believe that.
I believe equal opportunities are there, and using unequal outcomes as de facto evidence that social and governmental pressure must be brought to bear to bring about equal outcomes is a problem in itself.
a person who is deliberately made uncomfortable in certain classes is likely not to take them
There were a handful of women in the tech/science classes I took. They were in no way made to feel unconformable, especially deliberately. Rather, by pretending women aren't welcome there and it's some kind of scary thing, it's the fear mongers who are sending out the wrong message.
We're commenting on a story in which Oracle is suspected of breaking the law by practicing identity politics in employment matters.
Right, as I said, "the heavy hand of government looking at quotas".
Paying someone more because that person resembles you in some way
Do you just not know anything about this very publicly discussed topic, or are you one of the douchebags who actively discourages accepting commits from women or others outside of your social circle?
Why don't you provide a citation then? The last thing I saw about the FSF was around libreboot, and I wouldn't describe the drama that way, at all.
It's open source. On the Internet. Nobody even needs to know your gender. It's just that some people can't help playing identity politics instead of focusing on the code. It's all this "+" garbage the social justice idiots are injecting into every area they try to infect.
Consider 2008 - do you think Trump would have conceded gracefully the way she did to Obama, never-mind agreeing to work for him in a role that wasn't even the number 2 spot?
Whoa, talk about some revisionist history. She stubbornly stayed in the race until she forced Obama to make a deal with her. The number 2 spot was taken, and she got the ideal position to add to her "Presidential" resume.
without enough in the tank for an emergency stimulus
*snort* You think all the money printing came from some legitimate "tank"? We've been deficit spending for a very long time. The whole monetary system is based on debt and exponential growth to pay it back. All Trump will do is accelerate the crash that has to inevitably come.
Obama saying that blacks have a disadvantage after a shooting is race rioting
Maybe Obama shouldn't have endorsed a bullshit narrative that there was an epidemic of blacks being shot by cops. Instead of putting down the flames of division, he stoked them. Riots and dead cops were the result.
but retweeting an open neo-nazi
Without a citation, I won't comment.
and calling Mexicans rapists isn't???
He didn't say Mexicans were rapists. He was talking about criminals illegally coming over the border. Funny how people like you and the media turn that into "Trump called Mexicans rapists", ergo Trump is racist.
I won't disagree that there are members of "the left" who shout down others as racist, sexist, xenophobe, homophobe, transphobe, literally double mega Hitlers. But typically those are the loud-mouths who don't actually have any power - they're the outliers.
Do you believe your own bullshit? Do you remember who Trump was running against? Do you remember that she called half of his supporters "a basket of deplorables"? The mainstream, leftist media and politicians have been pushing "Islamophobia", "homophobia", "transphobia", and "racist" as arguments against their policies for years. The labels are wearing thin, and that's why it didn't work against Trump.
There's a lot of social pressure to make certain choices, and that starts real young.
There are also biological impulses too, as studies have shown. Women are free to make their own choices.
Of course, if you think that anyone who disagrees with you is pushing for heavy-handed government programs, you're going to miss the nuances.
We're commenting on a story about the labor department suing Oracle over this identity politics bullshit. It's one of the political planks of the "progressives". Even Obama has made it an issue. Oh, but no, I'm sure you are totally against government interference in this area.
On the contrary. Studies have born out that women have different interests than men, and they make different choices, including focusing on raising a family, less interest in tech jobs, more interest in social work, less interest in hazardous jobs, etc. But instead of just letting women make their own choices and letting the free market do its thing, you'd rather have the heavy hand of government looking at quotas.
Yep, he gets it: "The object of Minecraft is to run around and build stuff, block by large pixelated block. That may sound simplistic and boring, but an impressive number of people positively adore this game -- particularly pre-teen males."

When elected, he enacted the most practical kind of Muslim ban he could, given that there is no easy way to determine if someone is a Muslim or not.
There were many Muslim countries he did not ban.

What all these focused problem solvers lack is a general intelligence. Instead of a sack of envelopes, what's missing is the post office.

You think? You just watch our donations rolling in dude.
Because that worked so well for Crooked Hillary. Have fun throwing your money away at an unstable, unlikable tranny.
This is the sorest bunch of winners ever. I've never seen people who's canddates win, and they're angrier than before the election.
And how long were people harping about Bush after Obama got elected and rainbows and unicorns didn't magically appear across the country?
Google declined to provide a listing of the banned sites.
Well of course they didn't. Brother Google knows best.

That would be The Flintstones.
And we've got a bunch of women wearing "pussy hats" and marching on Washington. What timeline do I live in?

You mean the guy who was totally born in Kenya and thus not eligible to be president?
So how many Republicans in power actually said he wasn't a legitimate president? How many made it a point to boycott his inauguration?

Don't worry, Rick Perry wears nerdy glasses now.
The Young Pope is a bit off. I'll keep watching, though, because I need a replacement for Thrones/Westworld to get my mysterium fix.
