People say "Data is the new oil". But what underlies this data? Just like crude oil needs refineries to be useful, similarly data needs semiconductors to generate it, store it, analyse it, communicate it etc. So perhaps we should also say: "Silicon is the new Refinery". T4560

Steps 1 to 3: 1. Take a "Musk Melon" 2. Interchange the word order. 3. Remove the first letter in the first word so obtained. And voila, you get the person who has just posted an AI generated video of world leaders; some current, some have-beens. x.com/elonmusk/statu… T4557

Randall Munroe looks at optimal solar panel siting! Typically @xkcd tongue-in-cheek funny 😉 as usual except that:- Why does the 20% factor appear in both the formulae [$ saved if solar panel on earth vs. $ saved if situated directly on the Sun]? T4552

WhatApp gps are wondering whether ~25K #Wagner Gp can take over #Russia: Not exactly comparable (+ a bit racist!) but Frederick Forsyth's "Dogs of War" is worth a read - 5 White mercenaries recruit & train a few Africans to take over a small African country. #Putin #Coup T4549

"The only thing more difficult than the desperate longing for success is getting the success you've always longed for & realizing it wasn't what you were ultimately looking for in the 1st place" A bit like a dog chasing cars & finally catching one! T4544

The dominoes are falling! (A) No. of US bank failures since 2018: 2018 = 0 2019 = 0 2020 = 4 2021 = 4 2022 = 0 & in 2023? 3 so far in just over 4 months. (B) Total assets of these 3 banks = $548.5 billion. Surpassing the earlier high since 2001 of $373.6 billion (2008) T4543
