I understand it’s being installed on one side of the white house basketball court.

Dire news.

And worse to come – I have managed to dequantize a transcript of Trump’s upcoming rally speech, and it’s not pretty:

I have broken more ingenious hoop robots. There seem to be a lot of hoop robots. And I, by the way, I don’t have a robotic appendage. I don’t have a six-million-dollar arm. No arm. Robots have arms. And lots of other people helping. No, we’ve broken a lot of robots. We’ve broken virtually every robot. Because you know, look, I only need this space. They need many more robots. For basketball, for hockey and all of the sports, they need a lot of robots. We don’t need it. We have people in that space. So we break all of these robots. Really, we do it without, like, the hoopical robots. This is the only hoopical – the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth, right? The brain. More important than the mouth is the brain. The brain is much more important.

So he solved the problem of basketball being competitive…

The real question is who is Monte Carlo and what does he have to do with backboards. I don’t actually know who Monte Carlo is but I assume he had something to do with this technique.

I am dismayed that the casino at Monte Carlo apparently doesn’t have the legendary status anymore that it used to have. I would have thought the name Monte Carlo simulation was self-explanatory as being casino, i.e. randomness based.
