  1. Have asked LLMs for smallcap trading ideas on the ASX a few times.

    Grok often suggested shares that jumped significantly within the next few weeks. Wondering if it's access to Twitter gave it an advantage in predicting major upswings based on general sentiment.

  2. This was actually a plot point in Blade Runner 2049.
  3. Bananas are good, berries and most leafy green vegetables. Avocados, sweet potatoes, nuts and legumes.

    Switched to potassium-enriched salt for cooking so no-one else in the household has to suffer bland food.

    Beetroot juice (+ apple & carrot to counter the acidity) is also something you could try. Actually good for your blood flow with potential flow on effect for your BP.

    Personally taking Omega-3 and magnesium supplements.

  4. Did you try changing it to an eggplant? You may find that is also deemed inappropriate due to the similar connotations/appropriations associated with it.
  5. Yes, it's one of the better cheeses if you're on a sodium-reduced diet. Fresh Mozzarella is another good one.

    It's a fairly safe bet that the harder the cheese, the higher the sodium content.

  6. Goatse?

    Wouldn't recommend Googling it. You either know or just take a guess.

  7. I don't do banking on my phone, and non-US currency where you can see what you have from the colour of the visible portion of the notes without opening the wallet.

    Also unlike a phone I won't get fined for looking at my wallet while stopped at the lights.

  8. Exactly.

    For example, pulling in to buy petrol because they're displayed price is good. You don't know how much you have available in the transaction account, but you have cash.

  9. So we should be talking about autonomous delivery of mealkits: HelloFresh, Marley Spoon, Dinnerly, Blue Apron, etc?
  10. A week before the election I bought shares in Lynas, (the major rare earth producer outside of China) when it seemed Trump could win.

    Rare Earth exports was a known lever that the CCP uses in a trade war, and Trump was very likely to restart his previous one.

    However, the Pentagon putting money into MP Materials was quite unexpected, and people are still throwing money at them.

  11. The know-how has been lost so those currently looking to build plants have to relearn the processes. At the same time they need to examine new methods using different chemicals depending on the material they are extracting from and the particular impurities that need to be removed.

    Ball park for a processing plant is 1.5b and 2-3 years from digging foundations to operations if the funds are there and it's fully approved. A lot of the metallurgical testing can be done in parallel with the build, but getting off-take partners requires being able to prove you can supply, and the off-take partners usually supply a lot of the funding.

    Case in point, Lynas' Seadrift project in Texas is stalled and may not proceed due to an waste-water permitting issue and the USG not wanting to provide the additional funding required, or fully commit and guarantee off-take.

  12. Mountain Pass is not a great deposit. It requires blasting to extract from the bastnasite and is low in heavy rare earths such as Dysprosium and Terbium.

    There are many better deposits in Australia with more HRE or Brazil (huge ionic clay deposits). Lynas's Mt Weld is weathered carbonatite so also lot more economical for mining.

    Halleck Creek is the one to watch in the US as it looks to have a lot more HRE.

  13. - I am driving from the back seat, for some reason (trying, at least)

    Yeah, this one with the added bonus of having the whole family in the car - and for some reason I'm not steering at all for a lot of the time.

    Weird dream.

  14. Our German Shepherd is as particular about her toys as her food.

    She mainly likes squeaky plush toys, doesn't like rope toys at all. She also likes tennis balls which is a completely different game to the ones she plays with the plushies.

    The smell factor might explain why she initially turns completely off a favourite toy after it goes through the wash.

  15. Agree with the banning, problem is they are major sponsors of a lot of sports which would then need to find alternatives for funding.

    AFL (Australia) is one with very embedded sponsorship from SportsBet.

    Even the voting group for the Norm Smith medal (best on ground in the Grand Final) has someone from SportsBet on it.

  16. And when on the receiving end of the deliverables list, it's always a good idea to make sure they are actually deliverable.

    There's nothing worse than a task where you can deliver one item and then have to rely on someone else to be able to deliver a second. Was once in a role where performance was judged on closing tasks; getting the burn-down chart to 0, and also having it nicely stepped. Was given a good tip to make sure each task had one deliverable and where possible—be completed independent of any other task.

  17. I messed around with Udio when it first cam out, and it wasn't just writing a prompt, and there's your song.

    You got 30 seconds, of which there might have been a hook that was interesting. So you would crop the hook and re-generate to get another 30 seconds before or after that, and so on.

    I would liken it more as being the producer stitching together the sessions a band have recorded to produce a song.

  18. Only if you can tick off ALL of the deliverables that verify "done".
  19. The WHO can be easily influenced, like shutting down Taiwanese reporting on their COVID response back in 2020.

  20. If you mix it yourself, you know exactly what is in it.

    This means you can vary/substitute ingredients such as heart salt for regular salt if you're on a DASH diet (half the sodium chloride is replaced with potassium chloride).

  21. This, there are now other options for moving large amounts of cash around.

    Art used to be a good way to get around currency controls - David Walsh who built the MONA art museum I believe once said he first bought art and artifacts as a way to get cash winnings out of some countries.

  22. I would also put it in the category of too long. Bit of a commitment to pick it up and read cover to cover.
  23. Their first additive after water and salmon cells is canola derived so any environmental or food safety claims should factor that in.

    Canola is often sprayed with neonicotinoids and the oil processed with solvents like hexane.

    I'd personally prefer to get my omega acids from real salmon.

  24. Have a look at the Solbari Ultimate Sun Hat UPF 50+
  25. It actually first jumped significantly after the earnings call the day before the election.

    A 54% growth on the commercial side, being added to the S&P500, 1b in free cash flow, etc. Since then there have been constant announcements of more success resulting in buy-ins from all the big institutional funds including sovereign wealth funds.

    Sure, the political connections are there, but is that why everyone's buying?

  26. Correct.

    Why do the beat when you can sit at your desk and watch or wait for the cameras to pick something up?

    They seem to have forgotten that a police presence, i.e. a patrol car cruising around or police walking or cycling the streets not only prevents some crime but makes people feel safer by their visibility.

  27. You can get UV protection hats that have a clip-able face cover for those times you just want to go outside for a minute without having to slap on sunscreen.

    Have a few at home just for that, but they could definitely have a dual-use.

  28. And Britain was Airstrip One in 1984 with most of the scenes taking place in what would have been London. Orwell definitely considered it possible that they could go that way.
  29. You might enjoy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheat_(game)

    The whole point is to lie your ass off.

  30. Blackjack, while still a gambling game with a lot of randomness, would be a far better choice for children; particularly learning about calculating the probability of getting a card you want.
