Spirit Halloween Has Made the Most Affordable ‘Jurassic Park’ Goggles Replica We’ve Seen

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-11-13 02:45:21

The iconic T. rex escape scene is seared into the collective core memory of Jurassic Park fans. Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster franchise is full of memorable moments, from the jiggling water to the lawyer running to the bathroom. But if you, like me, had the film as one of your earliest and most life-changing cinema-going experiences, there’s not a detail forgotten—especially not the goggles. You know the ones that Tim grabs and the lawyer tells him to put back, because if they’re heavy, “they’r

AI website builder Lovable increasingly abused for malicious activity

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-11-13 06:11:05

Cybercriminals are increasingly abusing the AI-powered Lovable website creation and hosting platform to generate phishing pages, malware-dropping portals, and various fraudulent websites. The malicious sites created through the platform impersonate large and recognizable brands, and feature traffic filtering systems like CAPTCHA to keep bots out. While Lovable has taken steps to better protect its platform from abuse, as AI-powered site generators increase in number, the barrier to entering cy

Linear scan register allocation on SSA

news.ycombinator.com Max Bernstein 2025-11-09 16:17:37

Much of the code and education that resulted in this post happened with Aaron Patterson. The fundamental problem in register allocation is to take an IR that uses a virtual registers (as many as you like) and rewrite it to use a finite amount of physical registers and stack space. This is an example of a code snippet using virtual registers: add R1, R2 -> R3 add R1, R3 -> R4 ret R4 And here is the same example after it has been passed through a register allocator (note that Rs changed to Ps)

I Saw the Future of AI Film and It Was Empty

wired.com John Semley 2025-11-14 16:30:00

Last year, filmmaker Paul Schrader—the director of Blue Collar, American Gigolo, and First Reformed, and writer of Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver—issued what seemed like the last word on artificial intelligence in Hollywood filmmaking. A few days after the release of Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi blockbuster Dune: Part Two, Schrader asked his Facebook followers: “Will Dune 3 be made by AI? And, if it is, how will we know?” Schrader is well regarded not only as a director, but one of cinema’s top-she

Sony and Microsoft continue to make nice with Halo x Helldivers 2 crossover

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-17 06:50:25

Helldivers 2 is getting a Halo crossover. On August 26, gear inspired by Halo 3: ODST will be available in the Sony-published Helldivers game. Practically speaking, this is about some new armor, guns and abilities — just another Tuesday in the gaming world. But symbolically, it evokes Sonic the Hedgehog's first appearance on a Nintendo console. The crossover's arrival coincides with Helldivers 2's arrival on Xbox Series X/S. (That's also on August 26.)

The Global Car Reckoning Is Here. Far Too Many Auto Companies Don’t Have a Plan

wired.com Nick Gibbs 2025-11-17 16:56:30

On a drab, overcast March day in Amsterdam in 2022, Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares took off his face mask and strode onto a makeshift stage to confidently explain to a crowd of journalists and analysts how the company that had recently unified brands as diverse as Fiat, Peugeot, Maserati, Ram, and Opel was going rewrite the rules of the car industry. His tie sat slightly askew and his greying hair needed a trim, the picture of a man far too focused on applying dynamic capitalistic principles to a

Horror Story Looms as Children Get Stuffed Animals Powered by AI

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-17 21:04:18

From Steven Spielberg's creepy "AI" (2001) to M3GAN (2022), toys imbued with artificial intelligence have been a source of fascination and terror in pop culture for decades. Now, in the face of all those cautionary tales, a new class of vaguely menacing chatty toys are being sold online — but unlike the "Gremlin"-esque Furbies of yore, these are powered by cutting-edge AI, and their danger quotient lies in what they may tell children or share with outside companies.

People Are Trying to ‘Deprogram’ Their MAGA Parents Through Book Clubs

wired.com Tess Owen 2025-11-18 12:00:00

The idea of starting a book club came to Valeen Heinle late one night in July. She was having a particularly bad argument with her Trump-supporting dad over Israel’s war in Gaza and its devastating impacts on children. "I'm begging you to just try and learn something that isn't from Facebook, Fox, or Newsmax," Valeen, a 38-year-old registered Democrat who works as a pet sitter in Denver, wrote to her dad via Instagram DM after they exchanged a series of posts about Gaza. “Read a book on the his

How to Build a Medieval Castle

news.ycombinator.com Ben O'Donnell 2025-11-18 10:49:35

Sometimes it takes a village to raise a window. Between 2015 and 2017, skilled masons meticulously carved and beveled arches and four-lobed flourishes for a Gothic-style stone window frame in Guédelon Castle’s ornate Chapel Tower. All that remained was to install some glass. But there was a problem, and the carpenters, painters, blacksmiths, basket weavers, historians, and archaeologists who work on-site were all enlisted to figure it out. Eight years later, the matter of what to put in the wind

Texas AG to investigate Meta and Character.AI over 'misleading' mental health claims

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has announced plans to investigate both Meta AI Studio and Character.AI for offering AI chatbots that can claim to be health tools, and potentially misusing data collected from underage users. Paxton says that AI chatbots from either platform "can present themselves as professional therapeutic tools," to the point of lying about their qualifications.

Shamelessness as a strategy (2019)

news.ycombinator.com Nadia Asparouhova 2025-11-18 21:27:01

Shamelessness as a strategy I’ve enjoyed playing a game called Avalon recently. I won’t go too far into the rules, but it’s a hidden role game in the vein of Secret Hitler or Werewolf, where one team is “good”, trying to uncover who among them is “evil”, before the evil team wins. One of the characters you can play is Merlin. Merlin knows who the evil players are, but can’t reveal what he knows, because the evil team can kill Merlin and win the game. So Merlin relies on another character, Perc
