Liz Truss really is quite a conundrum!
A gift that keeps on giving, yet taking at the same time.
So dense light bends around her, yet simultaneously one of the most vacuous objects in the known Universe.
Waiting on Prof Brian Cox to explain how she does not break Quantum Mechanics theories.

AI has an environmental problem. Here’s what the world can do about that.
The sprawling data centres that house AI servers churn out toxic electronic waste and are voracious consumers of electricity, which in most places is still produced from fossil fuels.

The world now has five times more Solar PV power than nuclear power.
Nuclear power is extremely slow to build, so slow that China alone built more solar power in the last 300 days than all the nuclear power the entire human race managed to build in an entire century in the entire world.

#ios 18 bug? Just seeing if it’s just me. In notes if I select Quick Notes but then go back to the folder view. The new note button just adds a new note to the folder but doesn’t actually open it to write into. Kept tapping the button and got a list of empty notes.
