Border war: Will Kansas plan to lure Chiefs, Royals pay off?

TOPEKA (KSNT) – Experts are weighing in on two major plans passed in a one-day special session at the Kansas Statehouse.

The first is a plan to lure the Kansas City Chiefs or Royals to Kansas using STAR bonds to pay for new stadiums. The other plan focuses on tax relief. The question is, will either pay off in the end? And, how much money will go back into people’s pockets?

Gemini's data-analyzing abilities aren't as good as Google claims
One of the selling points of Google's flagship generative AI models, Gemini 1.5 Pro and 1.5 Flash, is the amount of data they can supposedly process and analyze. In press briefings and demos, Google has repeatedly claimed that the models can accomplish previously impossible tasks thanks to their "long context," like summarizing multiple hundred-page documents or searching across scenes in film footage. Two separate studies investigated how well Google's Gemini models and others make sense out of an enormous amount of data — think "War and Peace"-length works.
