Scarcity Warnings In Physical World Send Commodities To 14-Year High, Threatening Stock Rally

Scarcity Warnings In Physical World Send Commodities To 14-Year High, Threatening Stock Rally

Published by Jenni Sidey

Readers are familiar by now with the broad-based commodity rally, with energy, agricultural products and metals moving sharply higher as former Goldman Sachs commodities head Jeff Currie warned this summer of growing scarcity in the physical economy. The Bloomberg Commodity Index has climbed to levels last seen in 2012… … while the Quantix Commodity Index has hit a new record high. Bloomberg macro strategist Simon White is out with a new note this morning warning that the commodity rally is threatening to squeeze corporate margins and household spending, raising questions about how long stocks can withstand an inflation shock spreading well beyond oil. White wrote: Stocks are reacting negatively to the inflation and growth risks from commodities, which have just reached levels not seen since 2012. Commodities are rallying, but this is no longer principally an oil story. The rally is instead broadening out. Since the beginning of August, not only are energy prices rising, such as European gas (up 34%), or gasoline (+22%), metal prices are also rising (zinc, copper), as well as precious …

If Your Teen’s Been Asked ‘Do You Send?’, This Is What It Means

If Your Teen’s Been Asked ‘Do You Send?’, This Is What It Means

Published by Sam Flores

From chatting about larping to telling mates to ‘call an Uber’, there’s always some new terminology or phrase entering teen vocabulary – often fuelled by the latest TikTok trends and viral memes.  And with the school holidays finally coming to an end, it’s likely you’ve heard – or seen – a lot more of it over the summer.  Research from Tesco Mobile reveals 70% of parents have struggled to understand their child’s texts or social posts because of slang. You might already know the meaning of some terms – chopped is now another word for ugly apparently, while aura is all about how cool or uncool something is. But with three in 10 (30% of) parents not knowing what “do you send?” means, we thought we’d weigh in on one of the more dicey slang terms you’ll definitely want to know about.  What does ‘do you send’ mean? In short, it’s a request to send **** images. Whether you’ve spotted someone asking this in social media comments or direct messages linked to your teen’s account or not, it’s worth having a chat …

Grok Had a ‘Generation Glitch’ That Caused It to Send Users Pure Nonsense

Grok Had a ‘Generation Glitch’ That Caused It to Send Users Pure Nonsense

Published by Miika Tikkanen

People who used Grok Lite this week were no doubt surprised when the bot started sending long, large paragraphs of total gibberish. This is only slightly worse than its usual output, but it still had people in a tizzy, and understandably so. The trouble started earlier in the week, with multiple people posting on Reddit that Grok had “lost its mind,” meaning the chatbot was acting strangely. Though the bot would respond normally at first, it would devolve into buggy, nonsensical rants. The problem appeared to only impact Grok’s website interface, not mobile apps. In response to a perfectly reasonable question, Grok responded: “Some is local but is add, and safety font but proper if research use glue for already.” Even the basic autocorrect in my web browser gets angry at that sentence. Users reached out to Grok directly to ask what the problem was. The chatbot responded on X that the “pure word salad is a rare temporary generation glitch,” and that users could fix the problem by refreshing their browser tab or starting …

US To Send Hospital Ship Next Year To Peru To Help With Impact Of El Nino

Published by Jenni Sidey

Authored by Victoria Friedman via The Epoch Times, The United States will send a military hospital ship to Peru’s Pacific coast next year to help the country cope with the impact of the El Niño weather phenomenon. Plans to send the hospital ship USNS Comfort to the northern Pacific coast of Peru in February 2027 were confirmed by U.S. Ambassador to Peru Bernie Navarro on Aug. 19 during a press conference at Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) in Miami, Florida. Appearing alongside Peruvian Minister of Foreign Affairs Carlos Espá, Navarro told reporters that “one of the biggest things the United States is doing is bringing the military vessel Comfort, which we are going to bring in February.” The ambassador said that February is when they believe the problem with El Niño will peak. Espá told reporters that officials were already starting to develop a road map. “We are concerned, but we’re not just concerned; we’re taking action,” Espá said. “That’s why we’re so grateful to the ambassador, because thanks to him, the day before yesterday we met …

Before You Send That AI-Written Text, Answer This

Published by Jenni Sidey

Over the past few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has gradually become a third party in many of our personal relationships, and it’s not hard to see why. Tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude can be surprisingly good at helping people vent after an argument, come up with apologies that hit all the right notes, make sense of confusing text messages, or even bring the right words to a difficult conversation. Strong emotions can scramble the thoughts of even a level-headed person, and a neutral sounding board can help make up the difference. But before you copy and paste that carefully crafted message into your texting app, it’s worth asking yourself: “What might I be missing here?” Every Conflict Starts With a Story When we’re hurt, frustrated, or disappointed, our minds immediately start cobbling together a narrative. We reflect on what happened and replay conversations, probably multiple times. However, we also fill in the gaps with our best guesses when it comes to what the other person intended. Before long, we’ve got a passably coherent story …
