Not sure if still the case, but remember watching a talk (around 2021) where they mentioned they were using different providers. Among them AWS for some regions.

My bad, for some reason assumed you were talking about bet sizes. Starting stack sizes were static, but I don't think it's something important. They varied during the course of play. If you're playing cash instead of tourname

I read the 2019 paper[0] where they beat 5 pros in a 6-max table. It did not assume fixed stack sizes, it uses a technique they call "action abstraction" where they train on some number of stack sizes. During a game they use these

Very interesting read. I can understand the frustrations of both Pali and the maintainers. A lot of projects that are core to the Linux desktop are in a similar state. Last I heard, libinput was still being maintained by a single person.

I just realized why I have a lot of christmas memories of me sitting around with family while reading hacker news comments in a thread about a ruby release. Never noticed it's always released on December 25th.
