Podcast on 99% Invisible with the guy, also talking about other one handed keyboards on the market (and why they suck).

40 minute uncut video of Tesla robocar in LA. Impressive. It may be a cheat using remote drivers I suppose.

Here is a short video showing Tesla robocar ignoring a school bus' stop signs and flashing lights.

Don't forget that there is also income from advertising and ticket sales.

I am no fan of Eurovision but it is good value for national pride:

Eurovision is funded by participating broadcasters and this contribution is a total of €6.2 million (£5.2 million), combined.

Olympic gold medals don't make money. It is for national pride. Even hosting the games does not always make money.

Actually I am Aussie. 12 years ago it was calculated that each gold medal costs us AU$12m (so about US$11m in today's money). It embarrasses me.

Even if we were the only country researching...

I have heard GOP politicians saying something like "why should we fund a cure for a disease and everyone else benefits without spending a cent?"

Why doesn't their national pride on the world stage extend beyond sport?

Why should the world benefit from our taxpayer funded research? I want my taxes spent on training Americans so as to let the world watch (for free) fast running and swimming.

Am still waiting for a skipping event in the Olympics.

A fairer comparison would be Eliza vs ChatGPT.

OTOH they can probably be traced

Well, they are called TracFone 🙃

Depends on whether the AI is cheating by using data more recent than the trade date.

Will take longer to run it in real time and get meaningful results (I presume).
