No this doesn't currently use a model for valuation. It uses recursive exploration(with a stockfish like early terminition) and keeps track of the reward and regret at each node. W…

rs-poker has been my passion project for a long time. This release is huge because it's the first time that I know of for an open source poker bot/agent implementation to include a…

Be careful with initial impressions of metrics. We as humans have a heavy tenancy to anchor to our first judgments or impression. We see a win and assume the win is long term, with…

Early game bluffs are essentially lies that you tell through the rest of the streets. In order to keep your opponents from knowing when you have premium starting hands, it's requir…

No the widths are not wide enough to explore. The number of possible game states can explode beyond the number of atoms in the universe pretty easily, especially if you use deep st…

> Why wouldn't something like an RL environment allow them to specialize in poker playing, gaining those skills as necessary to increase score in that environment? I think an RL en…

To play GTO currently you need to play hand ranges. (For example when looking at a hand I would think: I could have AKs-ATs, QQ-99, and she/he could have JT-98s, 99-44, so my next …

No it's far from trivial for three reasons. First being the hidden information, you don't know your opponents hand holdings; that is to say everyone in the game has a different inf…

Text trained LLM's are likely not a good solution for optimal play, just as in chess the position changes too much, there's too much exploration, and too much accuracy needed. CFR …

They would need to lie, which they can't currently do. To play at our current best, our approximation of optimal play involves ranges. Thinking about your hand as being any one of …

I am the author/maintainer of rs-poker ( https://github.com/elliottneilclark/rs-poker ). I've been working on algorithmic poker for quite a while. This isn't the way to do it. LLMs…

I think 'Batteries Included' would interest you, then. Like this, it's installable on AWS. It's a whole platform PaaS + AI + more built on open source. So Kubernetes is at the core…

> The feature is integrated with DJ software and hardware platforms AlphaTheta They called out AlphaTheta, so here's hoping that it is. That would make my decision to move off of S…

Thanks! They have built an impressive business and tool.

While I was at FB (it wasn't Meta then), I saw what a superpower the infrastructure is there. Product engineers build things of a scale in days. While I was there, I got to be tech…

I work on a startup where the entire self-hosted SaaS is permissively licensed. https://github.com/batteries-included/batteries-included https://www.batteriesincl.com/ https://www.…

I was at a conference where this was presented by John https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Profound-Knowledge-Altered-In... It’s a fun little eye opener that starts conversations. I wis…

To put this in terms of why. When MS rolls up, they say we are charging for your usage of the MS database, Office, Outlook, Microsoft Windows 11, and the security promises. They ar…

Hey Cosmin long time! I agree the contract should be clear up front. Changing expectations later is a big problem. People want to give away the software for a while, using it as a …

Linux powers just about every major datacenter in there world. Every ML model was trained on Linux. However if you tried to make a company as powerful and successful as Microsoft y…

Open source has a lot of issues: - The anchoring principal. Once you have set the that the software is free, humans expect it to be free forever and all related things are judged o…

TOS links is being deployed. Thank you again. https://github.com/batteries-included/batteries-included/pul...

Thank you for the feedback! Kind is a way of running Kubernetes that only requires docker. It runs: KuernetesInDocker, so with some squinting kind. If you want to try the platform,…
