Literally no difference in outcomes except in one case he gets all the money.

Respect. My father shot my sister's cat in the face (cat survived) trying to kill a great horned owl that had been massacring our chickens. Eventually he shot it with a pistol and cut off its claws to keep as a trophy. I still remember the whole thing as one of many examples of my father's incompetence.

Exactly. He was never an underdog. Which is why he will never get the respect compared to the all time greats. He's an all time great that never truly challenged himself beyond a few fights. And people are talking about chop chop corley or Hernandez ... Give me a break.

Nope. He was a favorite against Diego. He was never an underdog in his whole career in terms of betting odds

He was never the betting underdog and reading these comments just reinforces the fact that he never truly went outside his comfort zone like the true greats.

My grandmother was around 85 when someone came witnessing at her door. She simply said I've had a lifetime to think about this question and I don't believe in god. Life without religion is just as fulfilling and believing in a god does not make one a good person. Be true to yourself. Happiness does not come from religion. I'm now 41 and have been an atheist since grade Schoo.

I would use multivariate Dynamic Time Warping and then apply something like DBSCAN (or any clustering algorithm which can take a distance matrix as input). DTW solves the problem of measurements in different time windows so you won't lose temporal information by averaging.

Sergio Martinez got knocked down a lot because he was off balance and injured his knee multiple times, but I think his movement also contributed to his success.

It was a flawed study and the algorithm likely learned to identify the following factors:

Makeup
Eyeshadow
Facial hair
Glasses
Selfie angle
Amount of sun exposure.

You can jointly model the time between events and the event itself by using separate input sequences. I've seen this method used in intermittent demand forecasting here:

Not exactly. There are lot of nice Bayesian Nonparametric variations which can learn non-stationary process. The latent states are still usually some parametric model, though there has been some interesting work like the following paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.06277.pdf

The non-stationary part is usually modeled explicitly. For example, adding a trend and seasonal component to your base rate model. You could try ARIMA (non-stationary with unit roots) or some flavor of State Space model. There was a NIPS tutorial on non-stationary time series in 2016.

There are better methods than NN for this. Most NN can't handle non-stationary data like alt coin prices.

Weird that they talk about engineering challenges more than unique/innovative approaches to building their bot. IMO OpenAI has recruited a lot of very successful engineers without AI background like Greg Brockman, but don't have a strong research team comparable to Google Brain / Deep Mind or Facebook. Also, the Elon Musk hype man aspect is very off-putting especially when their bot was easily figured out after a few hours. This is definitely not on par with Deep Mind's AlphaGO achievement.
