Apple TV+ ‘The Studio’ wins best comedy at Emmy awards, but HBO’s ‘The Pitt’ beats ‘Severance’ in drama

Apple TV+ set a new personal record for wins at the 2025 Emmy Awards, taking home 25 total trophies across its series. This was led by recognition for The Studio in the comedy categories, which won 13 awards including the top honors Best Comedy Series. However, Apple was less successful on the drama side. Despite coming in to the night with a record-setting 27 nominations for Severance, HBO’s The Pitt ultimately clinched the Best Drama Series Emmy. Severance did win two Emmys last night, for a

Page Object (2013)

When you write tests against a web page, you need to refer to elements within that web page in order to click links and determine what's displayed. However, if you write tests that manipulate the HTML elements directly your tests will be brittle to changes in the UI. A page object wraps an HTML page, or fragment, with an application-specific API, allowing you to manipulate page elements without digging around in the HTML. The basic rule of thumb for a page object is that it should allow a softw

Which colours dominate movie posters and why?

Colour is one of the quickest ways a poster can tell you what kind of film it’s selling. Before you’ve read the title or registered the actors, your brain has already clocked the palette and filed it against a lifetime of genre expectations. Over the past century, marketing teams have shifted from painterly illustration to photography and from saturated Technicolor hues to today’s more controlled, strategic colour use. I wanted to take a data-led look at colours on movie posters, so I gather

Celestia – real-time 3D visualization of space

Interactive Planetarium Celestia serves as a planetarium – for an observer on any celestial object. You can easily navigate to any world and land on its surface. When used as a planetarium, Celestia shows accurate positions of solar system objects in the sky. You can switch labels and other supporting features on and off with hotkeys, or zoom in and out on an object of interest, for example Jupiter’s system of moons.

Which NPM package has the largest version number?

Which npm package has the largest version number? I spent way too much time on this I was recently working on a project that uses the AWS SDK for JavaScript. When updating the dependencies in said project, I noticed that the version of that dependency was v3.888.0 . Eight hundred eighty eight. That’s a big number as far as versions go. That got me thinking: I wonder what package in the npm registry has the largest number in its version. It could be a major, minor, or patch version, and it doe

Grapevine canes can be converted into plastic-like material that will decompose

A new study from South Dakota State University reveals how grapevine canes can be converted into plastic-like material that is stronger than traditional plastic and will decompose in the environment in a relatively short amount of time. The need for biodegradable packaging material has never been higher. Currently, most packaging is "single use" and is made with plastic materials, derived from nonrenewable sources like crude oil that take hundreds of years to decompose in the environment. On t

Get Ready for the Holiday Tech Splurge: US Adults Expected to Spend $931 on Devices, CNET Survey Finds

The holidays are still months away, but if you want the best deals on a new laptop or smartphone, you should probably start shopping now. According to a new CNET survey, nearly half of shoppers aren't waiting until Black Friday and Cyber Monday to shop. Instead, they're shopping for tech for the holidays months early to beat potential rising prices and shortages. But is shopping early the best strategy?

Scientists Working on "Smart Dust" That Can Spy on a Room While Drifting Throught the Air

In his 1963 scifi story "The Invincible," the Polish writer Stanisław Lem imagined an artificial species of free-floating nanobots which roamed the atmosphere of a far-off planet. Like tiny bugs, the microscopic beings were powerless alone, but together they could form cooperative swarms to gather energy, reproduce, and ultimately defend their territory from predators with deadly force. Unlike the story’s human protagonists, the "black cloud" of bots was incapable of reasoning beyond the simple

My thoughts on renting versus buying

I’ve read numerous articles about renting versus buying and most dive into financial projections while completely missing the bigger picture. In my view, behavioral and emotional factors have a far larger impact on the financial outcomes of renting versus buying than the math. The math can always be made to “work” if you’re willing to adjust what or where you rent or buy. But the real differences aren’t captured in spreadsheets. They come from how people actually make decisions, and how those d

Accelerated Game of Life with CUDA / Triton

Let’s look at implementing Conway’s Game of Life using a graphics card. I want to experiment with different libraries and techniques, to see how to get the best performance. I’m going to start simple, and get increasingly complex as we dive in. The Game Of Life is a simple cellular automata, so should be really amenable to GPU acceleration. The rules are simple: Each cell in the 2d grid is either alive or dead. At each step, count the alive neighbours of the cell (including diagonals). If the c

Why We Spiral

Say you’re a senior member of your team at work. You’re 12 minutes late to the weekly staff Zoom. Once you’ve “joined audio,” the first thing you hear is your old friend’s voice. “There you are! So glad you could fit us in.” You laugh and explain the disastrous traffic, difficult drop-off at your kids’ school, or whatever it was that messed up your morning. The moment passes and the conversation moves on. You turn to the job at hand, focused and ready to go. But what if you’re a junior staffer,

The Latest ‘Demon Slayer’ Movie is Another Record-Breaking Hit

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle came to the United States this weekend, and it’s doing numbers well ahead of projections. Per the Hollywood Reporter, the film—the first of a trilogy meant to bring the shonen fantasy series to a close—made an estimated $70 million domestic, double the $35-40 million predicted by analysts. But Sony’s been aggressive with marketing it, not to mention the anime itself is pretty popular on its own. It’s the biggest opening ever for an anime film in North America, the

Sunday Night Football: How to Watch Falcons vs. Vikings Tonight

In his first NFL start, J.J. McCarthy led the Vikings to a furious fourth-quarter comeback, throwing for two touchdowns and rushing for a third to beat the Bears in Chicago. Now, McCarthy gets his first home start in primetime against the Falcons. The Falcons dropped their opener last week, but second-year QB Michael Penix Jr. looked good in defeat, passing for nearly 300 yards and a touchdown while also running in another, all without turning the ball over.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Yahoo Inbox Revealed

Right-wing internet personality and Turning Point USA cofounder Charlie Kirk was shot and killed on Wednesday during a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. After a chaotic 24-hour manhunt, the FBI named 22-year-old Utah resident Tyler Robinson as a suspect in the murder. As polarization and political violence continues to increase in the US, a new platform from the Public Service Alliance is offering tools like data-removal services and threat monitoring to public servan

Fringe Movement Claims the Entirety of Modern Physics Is Wrong

It's one thing when a respected scientist has a novel idea of what dark matter or dark energy might be, or what could explain spooky quantum phenomena like entanglement and superpositions. But the wonders of the internet has brought an entire economy built on outrage and conspiracy theories, enabling even the most crackpot grifters and fringe scientists to reach a wide audience and easily make a quick buck. We've all heard them rage against vaccines and seed oils, but one of their buzziest clai

CorentinJ: Real-Time Voice Cloning (2021)

Real-Time Voice Cloning This repository is an implementation of Transfer Learning from Speaker Verification to Multispeaker Text-To-Speech Synthesis (SV2TTS) with a vocoder that works in real-time. This was my master's thesis. SV2TTS is a deep learning framework in three stages. In the first stage, one creates a digital representation of a voice from a few seconds of audio. In the second and third stages, this representation is used as reference to generate speech given arbitrary text. Video

Razer BlackShark V3 Pro Review: High-End Gaming Audio

Despite including Bluetooth and ANC, I don't think of this at the type of do-everything headset you might replace noise-canceling headphones with, and not just because the person next to you will wonder if you're secretly talking to the pilots. These are so bulky and obviously for gaming that you probably don't want to wear them outside the house. You'd certainly get some weird looks walking the dog or working from your local coffee shop.
