Analogue’s 4K N64 has been delayed again, but only by a month

The Analogue 3D has been hit with another delay, but should still be launching this summer. In an update on its preorder website, Analogue explained that it’s modern take on the Nintendo 64 “is now shipping in late August 2025,” after previously aiming for July. The company said in a separate statement that the decision was made due to the ever-changing situation around US tariffs. “Following last week’s sudden tariff changes, Analogue 3D will now begin shipping next month,” the company explain

Finding value with AI automation

Today's opportunity: Significant automation gains When leaders respond to immediate panic, new business risks and mitigations often emerge. Two recent examples highlight the consequences of rushing to implement and publish positive results from AI adoption. The Wall Street Journal reported in April 2025 on companies struggling to realize returns on AI. Just weeks later, it covered MIT’s retraction of a technical paper about AI where the results that led to its publication could not be substanti

"English Translators of Homer": A Review

“English Translators of Homer” by Simeon Underwood July 12, 2025 I must caveat the rest of my remarks by saying I believe the book I was looking for would be titled “English Translations of Homer” rather than “English Translators of Homer.” This book is a history of the translators, the choices they made in translation, and how they were influenced by previous translations and by the style and culture of their times. Whereas, what I was looking for would spend more time comparing the texts. Th

Win, lose, or draw: trends in English football match results

Is the game getting more exciting? Football (soccer) fans like to see exciting matches. Draws are boring but wins or losses are interesting; fans want to see teams give their all on the pitch. Which begs the question, is the game getting more or less thrilling over time? One way to answer this question is to look at fraction of matches in a league that end in a draw. The most boring extreme is every game is a draw (draw fraction = 1). The most engaging extreme is that every game ends in a win/l

I used Suno AI to cover my own demo album

How I used Suno AI to cover my own demo album When I was young and had too much free time, I used to write and record music. I wasn’t very successful—mostly because I couldn’t sing or play any instruments. The songs always ended up sounding much worse than they did in my head. But now, it turns out I can just feed my old demo songs to AI and ask it to do a better job. So that’s what I did—and the result exceeded all my expectations. It’s crazy how well it can follow the song structure, includ

Walt Disney Returns as a Surreal Animatronic for Disneyland’s 70th Anniversary

As of this week, Walt Disney returns to his original Magic Kingdom, with a little help from the magic-makers at Imagineering. Through the audio-animatronics technology Walt Disney introduced when he opened Disneyland 70 years ago, the evolution of the show robots has gone from static positioning with some movements, as first seen on the singing birds in the Enchanted Tiki Room, to a roaming animatronic of Uncle Walt. Stationed in the Main Street Opera House, the (m)animatronic is the crown jewe

James Gunn's 'Superman': Does It Have Post-Credits Scenes?

James Gunn's Superman movie swooped into theaters Friday, offering thrilling battles, big-hearted heroes and an amusingly untrained canine sidekick. You might want to see the superhero epic if you're into other films written and directed by Gunn (such as Suicide Squad and Guardians of the Galaxy) or want to catch the cinematic start to the new DC Universe. Superman stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and David Corenswet as the Man of Steel. The movie isn't an origi

Why James Gunn Wanted a Younger Jor-El In ‘Superman’

The role Superman’s parents play in his life has always differed across years of comic book reshuffling and myriad adaptations. But in our latest crack at the Kryptonian whip in James Gunn’s Superman, Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van play a brief, but fundamental role in the movie. Casting the role for Gunn was crucial, not just because of the character’s legacy—but because he wanted to buck a trend from other live-action Superman films. In Superman Jor-El and Lara are played by the voice of Rocket Racc

Fine dining restaurants researching guests to make their dinner unforgettable

In the Emmy-winning FX show “The Bear,” which returned for a fourth season on June 25, there’s a pivotal Season 2 episode when Richie, aka Cousin, learns what it takes to work at a fine dining restaurant — and just how much intimate research goes into preparing for guests. Before his first night on the floor of the fictional three-Michelin-star restaurant, the front of house team goes over the evening’s PNOs — persons of note. Guests for the night include the district attorney for Chicago as we

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. With a new leading man in David Corenswet

Timekettle T1 Handheld Translator Review: Global Offline Translation

High-grade, real-time language translation is everywhere. Your cell phone can do it. Your Meta glasses can do it. Your earbuds will soon be able to do it. What was once a niche task that required tedious typing into a web browser or a pricey, stand-alone gadget is now ubiquitous. To my mild surprise, stand-alone translator gadgets have remained a thing, in part because they are often easier to use than an app, thanks to their single-minded design. For the Timekettle T1, an additional selling po

Sequoia bets on silence

There is a time-honored crisis management strategy, wherein one says nothing and waits for the outrage to pass. For Sequoia Capital, the strategy worked pretty well this week. While partner Shaun Maguire initially weathered criticism over an inflammatory social media post, that initial indignation cooled quickly. Now, some seem to think that Maguire’s defiant stance may even be strengthening his position. Business Insider actually called it “good for deal flow” — controversy as competitive advan

Report: David Zaslav Pushed Back on Ta-Nahesi Coates’ Black ‘Superman’ Movie for Being ‘Too Woke’

On the eve of James Gunn’s highly anticipated Superman film, the Wall Street Journal released a quantitative report that essentially signaled the film as Warner Bros.’ last chance to make its comic book brand soar. No pressure. However, within the lengthy, half-pop culture, half-financial report was the revelation that Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav turned down a script for a Black Superman movie in 2022 because he felt it was too woke. According to the WSJ, the Black Superman script, which was

Review: Stellar cast makes Superman shine bright

I'll be frank: I had mixed feelings, based solely on the trailers, about James Gunn's Superman reboot. Sure, the casting seemed great, Gunn has a winning track record on superhero fare, and Krypto the dog stole the show every time he appeared. The trailers struck a nice balance between action, humor, and heart. Yet the film also seemed overpacked with super-character cameos, and it was hard to get any sense of the actual plot. I've now seen the film, and those impressions were largely correct.

Nathan Fillion Teases Guy Gardner’s Path From ‘Superman’ to ‘Lanterns’

With the release of the James Gunn-helmed Superman, the start of this era of DC Studios is set to make a summer blockbuster debut. And in it, we’ll meet a new slew of superhero characters, including the first Green Lantern within this DCU, Guy Gardner, as played by Nathan Fillion. Fillion is no stranger to the Green Lantern Corps., as the actor has a history of portraying the more iconically recognized hero Hal Jordan in Warner Bros.

You Can Soon Own a Very Realistic Pedro Pascal Figure

From Star Wars to Marvel, The Last of Us, and more, Pedro Pascal is one of the most famous and in-demand actors working today. Everyone loves him. Everyone wants a piece of him.

Hot Toys just revealed it’s turning Pascal’s Last of Us character, Joel Miller, into a 6th scale collectible, and it’s got it all. Pedro’s good looks. Pedro’s good hair.

The jank programming language

The jank programming language jank is a general-purpose programming language which embraces the interactive, value-oriented nature of Clojure as well as the desire for native compilation and minimal runtimes. jank is strongly compatible with Clojure and considers itself a dialect of Clojure. Please note that jank is under heavy development; assume all features are planned or incomplete. Where jank differs from Clojure JVM is that its host is C++ on top of an LLVM-based JIT. This allows jank to
