I don't code much anymore, the vast majority is reviews the only time I really need to get on the tools is if it's a concept that I need to teach someone, or more likely, something has gone quite badly wrong and it's 2100 and I don't feel like waking anyone.

Making me do math on my lunch break? This is outrageous

Ah spatial autocorrelation, my old friend.

Very good work - but typically we don't build prospectivity models this way (or rather we don't validate them this way anymore). Great to see the USGS starting to dip their toe back in this though, they and the GSC were long the leaders in this, but have dropped it on the last 5-7 years.

Strong recommendation is to read any other source of this news, not the Jo Nova nonsense spin of it.

I like KoBold a lot, but this is a wild take on what has happened so far - a traditional mining exploration technique found this deposit, KoBold then brought into this as a typical cashed up midtier/large miner would and haven't released a resource and reserve calculation at all.

Not really the point but AI generated music recommendations have been great for me.

As someone who uses Machine Learning to predict the presence of Talc I approve of this, even if I have no use case for it whatsoever.

I will never understand the use of Stata to achieve anything.

Welcome to the world of resource and reserve calculations, where the numbers are made up and the points don't matter.

It's very easy to come up with a back of the envelope calculation to say we have this much Lithium, or this much Copper and come up with an absolute whopper of a number, the question is how much of it is recoverable and can it form part of a resource. There's a reason we (mining industry) don't let people produce these kind of numbers offhand, it's wildly speculatory and holds no basis in mining reality (yet!) - however very cool stuff and might provide a new exploration target in the future.

Oh man - there's actually a much cooler version of this scenario, which is Sudbury impact crater, which was a massive Nickel deposit that was 'enriched' by the impact crater that hit it, not by adding Nickel, but by adding heat into the system.

Oh interesting - in Australia the current go to theory is Hydrogen leakage.

I think it's worth reading the article mate, it's talking about how they observed that satellite emissions and the effect it could have on their research and the things they do.

Nick Cave and HackerNews intersection is not something I saw coming.

I think is true for >general< data science houses and firms that offer Data Science across any domain - I'm generally wary of anyone who writes about Data Science as a concept, rather than the use of Data Science to solve a particular problem in a particular domain, the rise of the Machine Learning bros is very real.
