I think it's kinda cute how CEOs think the industry based on stealing all intellectual property everywhere doesn't steal the IP that the CEOs feed to it.
Innocent, you know? Almost child-like. "Make sure you use the Pro model, not the free one, to protect our property rights to our code". Aww, sweetie.

Supporters of the far-right José Antonio Kast line a street as he delivers a speech after winning 58% of the vote in the country’s presidential runoff. Kast is the most rightwing candidate to be elected president in Chile since the end of the Pinochet military dictatorship in 1990.

How to add DuckDuckGo (noai) to Google Chrome and Brave
(Also, see my similar post about doing this for Vivaldi - https://infosec.exchange/@scottwilson/115725021729571844, and for Firefox - https://infosec.exchange/@scottwilson/115725250696632578)
If you prefer an AI-free DuckDuckGo Search experience, you can use noai.duckduckgo.com instead of on duckduckgo.com. Searching on noai.duckduckgo.com works the same as search on duckduckgo.com, except all AI features are turned off and AI-generated images are filtered out of results by default.
NOTE: Truly, for better privacy, consider switching to Firefox, LibreWolf, Vivaldi, Brave, or Tor.
1. In Google Chrome or Brave, go to Settings, then Search Engines.
2. Click "Manage search engines and site search".
3. Scroll down to the "Site search" section, and lick the "Add" button.
4. Give it a meaningful name and nickname, and add "https://noai.duckduckgo.com/search?q=%25s" in the URL field.
5. Click "Add", then scroll up a little to the "Search engines" section. Find your new entry, click the three dots next to it, and select "Default" to make this the default search engine.
6. Exit Settings.

The thing to remember when Marjorie Taylor Greene says the occasional sensible or decent thing these days is that she's demonstrating that she's been capable of being sensible and decent all along, but was deliberately choosing not to be.

What I'm listening to today: "Massive Cure", Smoosh
At some point around 2000 the drummer for Death Cab for Cutie started teaching the drums to a local six year old, setting off a series of events leading to this album recorded when the drummer was 10 and her sister, on keyboards, was 12. They play with the exuberance of 10-year-olds and it really works. I love the casual, effortless poetry of this one track. Electric piano through an overdrive pedal just always works.

Chill, homey performance on some misfit toys. The thing on the left is the minichord, a modern, DIY-optimized (it's powered by a Teensy and you can solder the PCB and 3D print the casing yourself if you want) modern remake of the Suzuki Omnichord, which is an unusual instrument from 1981. This musician is just absolutely going to town on that qchord. They are shredding. Dreamcast jungle beats on the PO33
Hey #Rust community! If you'd like to hear from me at conferences next year, let me know what you think my talk should be on. Unlike previous years, I don't have any concrete ideas of my own that could properly fill a full session.
The only thing I could reasonably submit would be a deep dive into the time crate, but that was rejected for three confs last year (though for two it may have been accepted if alone, they accepted my other proposal).

Retouching work is carried out on a Christmas tree made from two tonnes of soap, in Roumieh, north-east of the Lebanese capital. Carved by one of Lebanon’s most renowned soap makers, it is thought to be the first of its kind in the world. After Christmas, the tree will be dismantled and the soap donated to Christian and Muslim orphanages.

AI/LLM and jobs
Work has some computer toucher positions to fill that will be opening real soon now (... we hope¹), and I sort of feel that we should include "you don't have to use LLM/AI" in the position announcements. I'd certainly hope that it's increasingly a positive, given what so many companies seem to be doing.
¹ The current people in the positions are leaving very soon and we'd really like to have their replacements overlap, or at least start right away, but ... university processes.
"In Greek prisons from Crete to Volos, more than 200 Sudanese teenagers and young men sit behind bars. Their alleged crime is not violence, theft, or exploitation. It is survival. Fleeing one of the world’s deadliest wars, they crossed the Mediterranean seeking safety—only to be prosecuted as 'smugglers' under Greece’s sweeping anti-smuggling laws."

Big news from the Video Game History Foundation - they’ve come into a huge collection of previously-inaccessible Sega Channel data. Largely unseen since it originally broadcast in 1994-1997. https://gamehistory.org/segachannel/
💻🌍 Digital sovereignty might sound big — but it’s really about taking control of the tech that shapes our lives. It’s important for young people to learn that technology doesn’t have to be a black box — it’s something you can understand, explore, and even build yourself!
That’s why I love

I don't know about in the US but I don't recall the use of em and en dash being taught at school in the UK. We had lessons on the use of comma and semicolon and quotation marks and so on. Dashes seemed like part of the world of literature and journalism, places where typography matters, but not something ordinary people use. Surely this is why dashes are interpreted as signifiers for AI.
I started using dashes about 15 years ago when poorly formatted ebooks made them more visible. Iain Banks is hard to read when every dash becomes a hyphen. The fact that they were (and still are) an issue for ebooks suggests that even people who work in publishing are confused about them.
On the one hand, “Master of Information" is a slightly cooler degree name than the one I got. On the other hand, "Master of Information Studies" abbreviates to “MISt", so I get to be "Misty, MISt”, and that's pretty great.
