A graph worth spending some time looking at. Dan Neidle Martin Lewis any plans for either of you to publish a tool to generate more personalised plots based on circumstance (stdnt loan, # of kids etc, earners in household etc)?

A bump in the road no doubt, but the irony of this 👇 amongst the "not enough metal to deliver Net Zero" arguments is not lost on me. If global gov commitments to energy transition wire higher would this have happened? marketwatch.com/story/somethin…

With many 🧩 dropping recently, a more complete picture is emerging of LLMs not as a chatbot, but the kernel process of a new Operating System. E.g. today it orchestrates: - Input & Output across modalities (text, audio, vision) - Code interpreter, ability to write & run

I've been saying it for years but now it's official. Steel scrap is a critical raw material. Cue the carnage. kallanish.com/en/news/steel/…

The competitive 🔥 has gone out of the RWC. Not to be re-ignited until 7th Oct for 🇮🇪 v 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Or do I have it wrong?

If the smoke isn’t hitting the East Coast, Canadian wildfires are “out of sight out of mind” for many. But our wildfire season continues to accelerate. The area burned over the past week alone = that of nearly an entire typical fire season across Canada. axios.com/2023/09/29/can…

🙏🏿Lord please grant me the confidence to deny a brilliant woman prof / researcher tenure track, demote her, push her out of my school, to be the adversity that she had to overcome in life... and when she overcomes me and wins the Nobel prize, to roll in like I did something. Amen

Just had a 💡 moment. Been wondering where I've heard this 'keep repeating irrelevant and/or basic stuff over and over mixed with buzz words' thing in political interviews before. It's exactly the sentence structure you get in exam scripts of students who clearly haven't revised.

My only comment on Bham to Man HS2 is this.... Keep an eye on the land. Who had it before (many forced to sell)? How much did it cost the taxpayer? Who'll end up owning it after? How much will they pay for it? theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/s…

As Ben Chu eloquently points out in his thread, not sure hindsight is the most appropriate term. It was a once in a multi-generation opportunity for investment. Debt rocketed in any case.

If ever there was a reminder that clean energy infrastructure was a prerequisite for green growth and investment, this is it. More broadly I wonder what will temper FIDs first, the number of sites with suitable clean energy, or the availability of ore of sufficient quality.

This is critically important. It was highlighted to me in a recent discussion on potential future HDRI (near zero primary iron) trade. It's also harder in general to build in these regions.... but we must.

Tried to get Sheffield from South Wales, after 3 or 4 swerves and changes I turned around at a bleak Severn Tunnel Junction after my last hope north got cancelled. Glad I gave up when I did as Temple Meads was my next hope. Trying again tomorrow. Glutton for punishment🤔
