Vs. 
Humans continue their dominance over machines, at least for today.
The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence sponsored a 2-day poker tournament pitting champions Phil Laak and Ali Eslami against the University of Alberta’s Polaris computer program. Computers may be able to win beat Gary Kasparov in chess, but can they force a pro to go all in pre-flop holding snowmen? Two days and 2000 hands later, the humans finished on top $570. Not knowing how much each player started with, I have to imagine that it was close all the way.
Will we soon see cyborgs bluffing down the pros in Atlantic City?
For bc3alumni’s sake, I hope not.

Who’s The Hottest Female Athlete?

I was at football practice being my usual studly self, pancake blocking underclassmen, knocking them over, you know, being a tough guy, when my coach started yelling at me because I knocked the wrong freshman over.
Apparently I ran the wrong way and screwed up the play. Most times when this happens I heard something like “I Swear to God, you’re the dumbest smart kid I know!” or “You’ve gone plum crazy!” (one of favorites) But that day, coach was in a bad mood and it was my fault.
“I swear god God, my wife hates you because you keep me up at night wondering how you’re going to screw up the next day!”
Ouch. I remember thinking “why does he have to bring his wife into this? I’ve never even met her.” Fortunately, I was not on the receiving end of his worst comment: “Bulldog, you’re so stupid sometimes I think you’re retarded.
God I miss football.
