Guess where this good perspective on #AI comes from... it is not from a tech document, or from a company. Interestingly enough, it is from a document by the #Vatican "Antiqua et Nova" (English version: www.vatican.va/roman_curia/...)

The 'Reporters without borders" #freedom of #press index for 2025 looks bad for #Peru - It is lower than last year and we are 130 of 180 countries indexed.

#TIL about the "ui" #duckdb extension, that creates a local web-based UI for your #database.

Run: "INSTALL ui;", then "LOAD ui;"; and finally start the UI "select * from start_ui();" -- now go to localhost:4213 and voilá

(Could not find docs at duckdb.org/docs/stable/... yet)

The evolution of the EIU Democracy Index from 2006 to 2023 in South America. A definite drop in this metric for several of our countries.
