Toxic Avenger gets grindhouse-style trailer

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-05 00:49:49

The Toxic Avenger, a semi-reboot of the 1984 superhero splatter-fest, made the rounds of the festival circuit back in 2023. But all the violence and gore scared off most distributors, so the film—starring Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) in the title role—has been languishing in the vault for much of the last two years. Thanks to Cineverse, The Toxic Avenger is finally coming to select theaters this weekend. And thanks to the folks at Bloody Disgusting (a Cineverse subsidiary), we've got a trai

What Is the Magnetic Constant, and Why Does It Matter?

wired.com Rhett Allain 2025-11-03 23:30:00

This means these three values can’t be independent; if you know two of them, you can derive the third. How do physicists deal with this? We define the speed of light as exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. (How do we know it’s exact? Because we define a meter as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second.) Then we measure the magnetic constant (μ 0 ) and use that value along with the speed of light to calculate the electric constant (ε 0 ). Maybe that seems like cheating, but to

Prediction-Encoded Pixels image format

Prediction-Encoded Pixels This format is specifically designed to be for low-color pixel art (<=16 colors works best, up to 256 colors is supported). It uses "Prediction by Partial Matching, Order-2" compression, which is able to compress packed-palette-indices smaller than GIF, PNG, and QOI, while sacrificing a bit of time. It's 2-10x slower than GIF/PNG/QOI (depending on the image), but often compresses the image 20-50% smaller than GIF/PNG (and multiple-times smaller than QOI). If you care

With 770 lights, six treatment modes, and four wavelengths, it looks like the most advanced LED mask on the market. But after six weeks of consistent use, I wouldn't recommend it.
