In 1979 my father-in-law Tom Norcross went to Hong Kong with his family to coach fencing. He was there for 15 years. Part of the brief was to set up a self-sustaining fencing programme. Unlike other expat coaches, he learned Cantonese and grew the talent of local coaches as well as fencers.
My wife's family are proud that he contributed a small part in the success of Hong Kong's recent fencing gold.

Testing the new Gemini 1.5 Pro Experimental 08-01 model I am impressed with its general capabilities, but frustrated with its inability to manage changing state within an ongoing conversation (such as is natural during a coding exercise). It also has an annoying tendency to gaslight the user with hallucinations about being able to improve -- these seem like naive missteps in the fine tuning by Google and is reminiscent of earlier releases by OpenAI and Anthropic.
