The gold price has hit another record high, trading above $4,400 (£3,275) an ounce for the first time.
The price of the precious metal has risen on expectations the US central bank will cut interest rates further next year, analysts said.
Gold started the year worth $2,600 an ounce, but geopolitical tensions, the Trump tariffs and expectations of rate cuts have added to investor demand for safe haven assets, such as gold and other commodities.
The prices of other precious metals also rose on Monday, with silver hitting a record high as well.
The gold price has risen more than 68% this year, the highest increase since 1979, according to Adrian Ash, director of research at gold bullion marketplace BullionVault.
2025 has seen “slow-burning trends around interest rates, around war and trade tensions”, Mr Ash said, which have helped to push up the price of gold.
“The precious metals market says that President Trump has really triggered something – and gold has gone crazy this year.
“You’ve got the trade war, the attacks on the US Federal Reserve and you’ve got geopolitical tensions, all of those provocations come from Trump,” he said.
After passing the $4,400 an ounce mark on Monday, the spot price of gold hit a high of $4,426.66.

…lotta people making a lot of predictions these days
Imagine a 30-minute interview with the CEO of OnlyFans where adult content is never mentioned. Given that it’s the focus of roughly 80 per cent of their video creators and is the main appeal of the site for its customers, you’d expect it to come up at least once.
It should seem equally strange, then, for Tarek Mansour, the CEO of the prediction market Kalshi, to give a wide-ranging interview and never talk about the thing driving more than 90 per cent of the activity on his site: sports betting.
In a talk this month at the Multicoin Summit in New York, Mansour discussed the long-term vision for his company, which allows people to trade shares of “event contracts”, priced based on the probabilities of various outcomes, and which recently raised $1bn from investors at an $11bn valuation:
Financialise everything. Everything can be a tradeable asset. The universe of what is tradeable today versus what it can be is so small . . . economic indicators, weather and climate, Covid, healthcare numbers, what Taylor Swift is going to do or not do . . . That can be applied to anything. Anything that has a difference in opinion can be traded someday.
One small omission from that list:

Beyond the financial toll, the researchers found that withdrawing support for rapidly advancing mRNA vaccine technology could result in over 49,000 preventable deaths annually among patients diagnosed with four major cancers.3/3
My god. Letters of Marque & Reprisal. As though the US lacked a navy. And to be used for aggressive purposes. Bordering on legalizing piracy. I’m only surprised that Trump didn’t try to do it by proclamation—or should I say, executive order? I guess legal vulnerability?
If Trump just issued letters of marque and reprisal by executive order, then those who accepted them, and attacked ships — And according to the ancient relevant laws kept half the prize money and gave half to the government—Might be charged with piracy if his orders were overturned.Just wow.😮
It’s the “for other purposes” part that really nails it home. It would mean private US ships could attack a range of ships from other countries. For decades the US has taken the lead on cracking down on international piracy. This would instead put us on the list. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_in…

This is 404 Media's @jasonkoebler.bsky.social waving at himself through a Flock camera; one of 60 we learned was left exposed to the open internet. Not only could anyone with a link livestream it, but some admin portals were open with no login credentials required. www.404media.co/flock-expose…
And unlike other cameras, Flock's Condor PTZ cameras track people. 404 Media saw:- A woman walking her dog on a bike path- A man walking through a Macy’s parking lot- Children at a playground- A man rollerblading, and a zoom into exactly what he was looking at on his phone
Unlike many of Flock’s cameras, Flock’s Condor cameras track people, not vehicles.The exposure highlights the fact that Flock is not just surveilling cars—it is surveilling people, and in some cases it is doing so in an insecure way.LINK: www.404media.co/flock-expose…
We found that on one portal, camera settings could be changed, diagnostics could be run, and text logs of what the camera was doing were being streamed, too. 30 days of the camera’s archive was left available for anyone to watch or download.LINK: www.404media.co/flock-expose…
“You can look down a tremendous distance with our cameras. The camera will identify people, what they’re wearing, and cars up to a half a mile away. It’s that good.”— Kevin Cox, a Flock consultant who used to work for the Grand Prairie, Texas Police Department said in a 2023 Flock Condor webinar.

This is quite true. Of course, there are use cases for LLMs in research *but* they need to be used by people with integrity and sophistication, e.g. @forrestf.bsky.social has been part of an excellent study that did use LLMs (in our mutual field of restoration ecology).
suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research:
they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.
If a key part of your job is getting information right and ferreting out falsehoods and untrustworthy sources, and the tool that’s supposed to help you do that keeps throwing you obvious errors, than yeah, you’re probably not going to trust it and may end up deciding it’s not all that useful.
certainly there appear to be ways to improve LLM accuracy, but techniques and products that purport do this do not seem to be getting effectively communicated or sold – and most existing sales techniques seem designed to actively anger and frighten the knowledge worker set.
anyway, if someone actually can figure out how to convince people that LLMs can be relatively trustworthy wrt source research, they’ll probably then see more buy-in from research professionals
until then…..

Fuck you Kentucky Bourbon Association for comping Preznit Trump free drinks for his inaugeration. It might be the first company to (temp) close up shop, but it sure as hell won’t be the last.
Finally, I doubt the Canadian military can hold off the US if they decided to invade… but I’m pretty sure you the US will find out what it’s like to have a real insurrection in their streets. If you thought Ukraine was vicious…

I read about this yesterday. It’s hard to say if it was stupidity or somebody sabotaging the redactions. In the absence of other evidence, I’m going to assume stupidity. Everybody with any degree of intelligence has largely resigned or been fired from the federal government.
…there are a number of ways to not do the redacting thing in a way that can’t be un-redacted & some of it is maybe cut & paste to get the text not just highlight to make the black bit disappear & leave the legible text…which they have done other times…but…it’s like the no results for [name] but [name ] gets a bunch
…they’re just genuinely bad at tech…& have almost no lateral thinking skills at all
I would trust the Krassensteins as far as I can throw them, but people were predicting beforehand that the redacting would likely be flubbed. It’s apparently less easy than it seems in the era of digital scraping!

As @bryanlsplinter said, he’s just mad about something else so he’s ranting. Sort of like how if my cat sees another cat outside and is mad about that, she’ll attack her brother because he’s right there.
Only the best people or done on purpose?

I read about this yesterday. It’s hard to say if it was stupidity or somebody sabotaging the redactions. In the absence of other evidence, I’m going to assume stupidity. Everybody with any degree of intelligence has largely resigned or been fired from the federal government.
…there are a number of ways to not do the redacting thing in a way that can’t be un-redacted & some of it is maybe cut & paste to get the text not just highlight to make the black bit disappear & leave the legible text…which they have done other times…but…it’s like the no results for [name] but [name ] gets a bunch
…they’re just genuinely bad at tech…& have almost no lateral thinking skills at all
I would trust the Krassensteins as far as I can throw them, but people were predicting beforehand that the redacting would likely be flubbed. It’s apparently less easy than it seems in the era of digital scraping!
…by way of…example might not be the right word?
I can’t believe this song drop hasn’t got more attention! It is goes well with a RIP DOT!
interesting wind farms only cause radar interference in american radars
maybe you should buy some of ours? they work fine despite all the offshore wind farms
….i dont think we’re blocking sales of tech to the states….yet
tho…with the current administrations foreign friend making skills..it wouldnt surprise me if it comes to that eventually
They only cause interference in the air between Trump’s ears. One wind farm near his golf course and he’s Donald Quixote.
