In recent weeks, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has increasingly talked up his "anti-woke" agenda across online platforms, including podcasts.

So, is he trying to appeal to disenfranchised male voters?

In a podcast chat with entrepreneur Mark Bouris, Dutton outlined what he called an "anti-woke revolution" occurring globally. But he also said that young men have had enough of being overlooked for jobs and promotions, especially when they have female partners who have "decided" to stay home with the kids.

So we're going down the American path are we? Yikes.

I don't know what strategy Labor uses to combat this?

This week, The Australian Financial Review (AFR) reported its polling had found a sharp gender divide among younger voters, with men far more disposed towards Dutton than women, and more optimistic about Australia's economic outlook. It also showed that women in the same age groups are more left-leaning. In the breakdown of aggregate data from the last three AFR/Freshwater Strategy opinion polls, 37 per cent of young male voters — aged between 18 and 34 — preferred Dutton as prime minister, compared with 27 per cent of women in the same age group.

In a blockbuster trade that figures to impact the Western Conference balance of power for years to come, the Lakers, Mavericks and Jazz completed a three-team trade that sends Luka Doncic to Los Angeles and Anthony Davis to Dallas.

This has to go down as one the most insane sports trades ever. In any league.

James learned of the trade when it broke while he was out to dinner with family after Saturday's win against the Knicks in New York, sources close to the Lakers superstar told ESPN. James was surprised by the news, sources said. Davis and Doncic were also not informed of the trade ahead of time, sources told Charania.

It's just weird that no one knew about this. The whole truth is not out there.

DeepSeek now appears to have debunked one of the tech world's holiest scriptures, achieving similar success with far fewer and far older chips.

"It marks the end of US dominance of the AI race," says Toby Walsh, chief scientist at the AI Institute of the University of New South Wales.

"It's like running the four-minute mile," he says.

"When Roger Bannister first ran the four-minute mile, it demonstrated it was physically possible."

I'm yet to try DeepSeek but it seems extremely promising. What this means for ChatGPT and the other LLM based companies will be very interesting.

If we see more open source models that have the same usefulness as ChatGPT then its commercial viability is diminished. Why pay for it?

1234 is the most popular choice by a huge margin, accounting for nearly one in 10 of the millions of PINs we looked at.

Not surprising at all.

My password advice:

1. Use a password manager like 1Password or the built in one Apple now maintains
2. Have different pins and passwords for everything
3. Don't use birthdays or stupid number sequences like 1234
4. If you have the option for a pin to make it 6 digits instead of 4, go with 6

This is just sad:

Earlier this year, a fracture began forming in the team. Specifically, this was between us (Noel & I) and Pedro, a founding member of EXOK, longtime friend & collaborator, and art director of Earthblade and pixel/ui artist on Celeste and TowerFall. The conflict centered around a disagreement about the IP rights of Celeste, which we won't be detailing publicly - this was obviously a very difficult and heartbreaking process. We eventually reached a resolution, but both parties also agreed in the end that we should go our separate ways. Pedro is now working on his game Neverway, which you should check out - we've played it and it's very promising.

Losing Pedro wasn't the only factor in cancelling the game, but it did prompt us to take a serious look at whether fighting through to finish Earthblade was the right path forward. The project had a lot going for it but, frustratingly, it was also not as far along as one would expect after such a protracted development process. I do believe that if we soldiered on despite it all, that Earthblade could still be a great game.

But would it be worth the pain? Noel and I also began to reflect on how the game has felt for us to work on day-to-day, and realized that it has been a struggle for a long time. Sure, working on one project for so long is bound to become a slog, but this feels like a deeper problem. Celeste's success applied pressure on us to deliver something bigger and better with Earthblade, and that pressure is a large part of why working on it has become so exhausting. Pedro isn't to blame for this- in fact the split with him has given us the clarity to see that we have lost our way, and the opportunity to admit defeat. I feel many ways about it, but one big feeling is undoubtedly relief.

Because this is the internet, I want to be unequivocal here that the decision and responsibility for cancelling Earthblade rests entirely with me and Noel. If you were excited about Earthblade and angry about its cancelling, Pedro and the Neverway team aren't the enemy and anyone who treats them as such isn't welcome in any EXOK community.

It's no one's fault in particular for the cancellation but when things fail due to business reasons it just sucks.
