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…

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…

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…

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.

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, rat…

Fly into a blind panic, normally.

Not US based but have done work in Nevada, Arizona + Utah and might be able to answer your question.

The major problem for copper is the lack of large projects in the pipeline - current mineral explorers are entering a new phase of what they need to look for and it's a super excit…

It's more to do with the overall intensity of the anomaly. If you'd like to become thoroughly confused, I'd recommend looking up remnant magnetisation, which is the bane of my exis…

I'm not sure I'm quite following your train of thought, is the implication that offshore wind farms are going to have a greater negative effect on the planet than our current energ…

Holy Moly. For the first time ever I'm nearly an expert on something on HN. There's quite a few arguments in here which run the gamut from 'interesting point that people who work o…

I have 5 tabs open with emails written ready to send at some point. Had issues saving drafts, too.
