Lithium supply is not an issue. Here in oz we have plenty, there is surplus in market (see current lithium prices).
Conversion however is an issue, majority of plants are in China. Build some refiners that turn it into lithium carbonate and oz will fill them.
Something like plex for YouTube?
I want to auto download videos from my favourite podcasts, but then have a super simple dashboard that shows the videos and lets me watch them.
But honestly, it’s like it was designed for the way I work. I dont have a trillion tabs open any more.
I run multiple projects at once plus personal stuff throughout the day. Really really poor project management. But now I just go about what I’m doing and can pickup where I left off.
Literal use case: I was writing a report for a client and had done a bunch of research on a topic, then got distracted as I remembered I needed to upgrade the homelab and wanted new unifi gear. Then got back on another project where I needed provide a summary of similar other projects we had worked on.
So after I finished the last task, I quickly pulled up the research where and where I was at, it even found items I didn’t notice initially. Then at a day later I was able to pull up all the spec sites, reddit posts and recommendations and shopping sites I found for the cheapest place to buy my new gear.
It was awesome.
And that’s one of many many times it saved me.
The biggest pushers of no domestic gas are the producers and finance guys. They make a lot more money on exports.
First off it looks like they identified 15M tonnes of lithium hosting rock (pegmatite) which has a grade of 0.4% of lithium in the form of spodumene (which then needs ot be processed to extract the lithium out of).
But in general, how it works is they drill a bunch of holes in the ground and analyse the cores. From that that interpolate the size/shape of the ore body and calculate an estimate of size.
The more holes they drill the greater the confidence.
There is a lot of 'art' to this science
In reality its most likely 15M tonnes inferrred resource of 0.4% lithium content So much smaller amount of actual lithium.
They work this out by doing core drilling, and then inferring/extrapolating the size/shape of the orebody boundaries. (Im a mining engineer)
This is most likely government minister/media hype.
Its not 15M Tonnes of Lithium. Its 15M Tonnes of lithium containing ore, with an average grade of 0.4% (which i also question without seening core results).
Also terms such as "resource" and "reserve" have very specific meaning in mining (to do with economic viability of deposity/ level of confidence) and this is by no way a "reserve".
Most likely overzealous government minister/media hyper. (sorry to rain on parade!)
Always wondered whether we can use it for energy….
Autonomous chemical research with large language models
i have it set as my new tab page.
in my line of work i write a lot of reports. i have a great prompt now that i can use that i just paste in along with my rough and very crappy notes and it turns it into near perfect report.
crazy how much a new tech has become so indespensible so fast.
I can’t imagine their careers after this will be easy…
