Gasp! Researchers Say There’s an Inaccuracy in Popular Teen Movies

Image by Peacock / NBC Studies According to a new study, teen films have a dirty little secret — and it's harming the real-life adolescents who watch them. After analyzing dozens of teen films, communications researchers at the University of Ohio found, per a new study published in the Journal of Children and Media, that the experiences depicted in them was so different from the lives and experiences of actual teens that they may as well have been speculative fiction.

Open Channel: What’d You Think of ‘Superman’?

It’s been over a decade since the last proper Superman movie hit theaters, and this weekend finally broke that long streak with Superman (formerly subtitled Legacy). This has been one of the most talked-about superhero movies in recent memory, and one that comes with some baggage. Before writer/director James Gunn came onboard, it seemed Henry Cavill would don the cape again after being MIA from the DCEU the last few years, only for that to fall apart.

For Algorithms, Memory Is a Far More Powerful Resource Than Time

wired.com Ben Brubaker 2025-08-07 01:00:00

That classic result was a way to transform any algorithm with a given time budget into a new algorithm with a slightly smaller space budget. Williams saw that a simulation based on squishy pebbles would make the new algorithm’s space usage much smaller—roughly equal to the square root of the original algorithm’s time budget. That new space-efficient algorithm would also be much slower, so the simulation was not likely to have practical applications. But from a theoretical point of view, it was n

Why GM’s CEO is still betting on electric vehicles (and racing)

theverge.com Abigail Bassett 2025-08-07 01:00:00

GM was the first major US automaker to make the promise to go all-electric by 2035, just four years ago. Those promises have since turned into rough estimates under the second Donald Trump presidency, with the company softening language about its electrification goals. But GM is riding high on EV sales, and as CEO Mary Barra puts it, EVs are still the future — just on a delayed (and very flexible) timeline. “We still believe in an all-electric future,” Barra told The Verge in an exclusive inter
