Judging by insta the increase in attendance at Royal Ascot is that it’s now become attractive for Gypsies

ITV using a bit of Jesus Jones in their World Cup coverage. Just need a bit of Bruce Hornsby and The Range for full nostalgia on the montage.

In line with my earlier comment that professional sports people must be one dimensional beings and there should be a limit on earnings to stop people from going down this unhealthy egotistical route. Didn’t realise that me and Aristotle are in agreement on this.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

For Aristotle, the banausos is not just physically deformed by his profession, but politically and ethically stunted: specialization makes him less a complete man than a TOOL of his occupation.
Politics, book VII:
"And any occupation, art, or science, which makes the body or soul or mind of the freeman less fit for the practice or exercise of virtue, is vulgar; wherefore we call those arts vulgar which tend to DEFORM the body, and likewise all paid employments, for they absorb and degrade the mind."

Arsenal scoring early makes this so dull.

The Blue Hills “Blueys” though on the way were brilliant.

Grew up less than 5 miles from Ashton-in-Makerfield. Nobody would ever say they’re from Makerfield it’s purely the name of the constituency. I’ve been to Ashton fewer than 5 times in my life.

I’m counting Haydock racecourse being in Haydock not Ashton

I think we are in the process of discovering that humans are bad at mathematics.

A gibbon would scoff at an Olympic climber; the human body is not optimized for climbing. We're getting mounting evidence that our brain may be far from optimal for advanced math.

No disrespect to mathematicians. I was a two-time IMO silver medalist; I'm just smart enough to appreciate that some people are much, much smarter. But it's starting to look like math is somewhere on the midpoint of Moravec’s paradox; between chess (computers surpassed us some time back) and cooking (probably many years to go, for general capabilities). It's fairly hard for us, and so it looks like computers are going to surpass us.

AI math still has important weaknesses. For instance, AI systems have not yet shown any ability to identify interesting research directions, or develop new concepts on which further work can build. But they are starting to look superhuman in some respects. And once AI *starts* to become superhuman in some domain, we all know what happens next.

Simple game isn’t it really. Fast players that can run a lot and kick it well.

Arsenal have outrun their opponents in 35 of their 37 Premier League matches this season, more than any other team (Leeds next with 32 of 37)

Once at an all-inclusive resort in Mexico, and I watched this family of Italians go up to the buffet and bring back plates filled to the brim with one item each.

Turns out, they were laying it out to share, family style, and to this day, I still think about it.
