July 8, 2024: huge thanks to a reader -- The Prairie Horizon well is a carbon capture well for the hydrogen plant Marathon is Proposing to build at the Dickinson refinery. The Dickinson Press, August 28, 2023. 

TC Energy and Marathon Petroleum recently opened their doors for an open house, giving locals a sneak peek into the proposed Prairie Horizon Hydrogen project. The event, staged ahead of a public special commission meeting Aug. 23, aimed to inform residents of the profered hydrogen facility near the existing Marathon Petroleum site in southwest Dickinson.

From The Atlantic today:

The writer did not provide a linked source. I was curious. Is that "young-onset cancer" accurate?

Google: the link to Yale -- 

I don't know what to do with this, I don't know what it means, but it's an interesting data point for the archives.

Back to the Bakken

WTI: $83.16.

Active rigs: 38.

No new permits.

Six permits renewed:

• BR (5): four Muri permits renewed and one Sanmuri permit renewed, all in the Elidah oil field, McKenzie County;
• Formentera Operations: one Beetle permit renewed; Ambrose oil field, Divide County.

Again, a lot buried in this story. Six links, all from today:

• first, Macrumors;
• Tomshardware, calling it a "leak."
• Reddit.
• AMD, SoIC, leapfrog, 2022.
• TSMC, SoIC, 2020.
• comment.

I may come back to this later. But this is another huge story. 

This is one person's view, from the Reddit link above:

CHIPS tracked here on the blog.

*******************************
Thoughts?

Check out the wiki page on "transistor count."

• July 5, 2024: Apple's M5.
• May 7, 2024: Wiki has not updated its "transistor count" page and as of this date does not include the M4 chip. Later: Wiki now includes the M4 but it's higher up the list and easily missed.
• May 7, 2024: Apple introduces NPUs with the new iPads. NPUs have been around for awhile; Apple has the lead, and is now talking about NPUs. I think this was the first day I've heard NPUs mentioned as "NPUs" and it was Tim Cook.

The links above are, of course, dynamic, but looking at these links today, there's a suggestion that there may be something new happening -- it's almost as if the number of transistors on a chip is less important than how developers "link" those CPUs, GPUs, NPUs together on the same chip -- PoPs and SoCs. 

Maybe more on this later.

Hey, by the way, how about AMD today? 

One may want to go back and look at this AMD story from just two days ago.
