Anecdotal data point, but recently I’ve found Gemini to perform better than ChatGPT when it came to intent analysis.

Is that a bad thing? I’d rather not HN become an echo chamber even if I don’t agree with all the posts

For anyone else worried about running openclaw, in my case I just bought openclaw its Mac mini and I gave openclaw its own accounts including GitHub. It makes many of the security concerns moot. Of course, I could go further and give openclaw its own internet access as well.

Market manipulation? Why else would paper silver be much cheaper than buying the commodity for real?

> People buy precious metals when they might be worried about the value of fiat currencies

It’s not just people. Central banks are buying precious metals due to the dollar and new Basel rules. Gold needs to be allocated if you want it to be considered a tier 1 asset.

Globalism is dying. Unfortunately, peace goes hand in hand with it.

IMO this is temporary. Why?

1. Geopolitics. Globalization is dying. See 3.

2. Debt. Countries refuse to tax or do austerity. The only thing left is to destroy their currency by printing away their debt.

3. Preparation for a new global war which requires massive spending.

4. Basel III which made gold tier one. Unallocated gold does not qualify as a tier 1 asset

The risk for Central Banks holding their own bullion is low, away from the almighty Dollar, and Gold has never ceased to hold value, while Silver is actually useful but seriously overbought.

We're actually paying a premium for risk-averseness in the very nature of Gold, an asset that produces no dividends other than holding its own intrinsic value.

This time the bullish-on-Gold news outlets are right: there are fundamentals driving the madness that is the Market.

Something about Japanese rice futures candlestick school of days past predicting sell-off after 8 to 10 sucessive record highs...

Summing it up, the volatility specially of Gold (Silver is a bubble may I remind you) doesn't discount the possibility of an overall upward trend of years for Gold and a respectable USD$4000 for the spot troy ounce does not seem crazy at all, as momentum builds for regime change in Iran.

It's a plain analysis. Trump may not TACO on this and after hell on Earth is unleashed, Gold will actually see action to unprecedented levels. Maybe. Maybe not, but USD$4000? I doubt very much it would break through that support level.

Thanks for Nr. 4 - wasnt aware of!

Prior to a lot of apps transitioning to be web apps, this would be more important, but there’s less value now that almost everything is non-native. Even MS Office is online now

> this is quite personal in nature, I dont want hosted LLMs to know me this deeply. It has to be a local model even if it is slow.

Apple has a big opportunity with this.
