The following is a conversation with Sergei Levine, a professor at Berkeley and a world-class

researcher in deep learning, reinforcement learning, robotics, and computer vision,

including the development of algorithms for end-to-end training of neural network policies

that combine perception and control, scalable algorithms for inverse reinforcement learning,

and, in general, deep RL algorithms.

abstraction of the fractional orders is an algorithmic marvel.

So big props to the cash app engineers for taking a step up to the next layer of abstraction

over the stock market, making trading more accessible for new investors and diversification
