The ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Success Story Could Be a Turning Point for Cinema

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-11-05 00:45:13

This weekend, movie history was made. For the first time ever, Netflix had the number one movie at the box office with its megahit KPop Demon Hunters. However, while every single other film distributor would’ve celebrated this fact, the streamer didn’t report the numbers. Instead, it put the version of the film in theaters immediately onto its streamer. The message was clear. This wasn’t meant to be a huge money grab or play for theatrical dominance.

How to Prepare for Leadership Roles in Software Engineering

computer.org Vanessa Castro 2025-11-05 03:35:39

Struggling between the comfort of an individual contributor (IC) role and the desire to move into software engineering leadership? It’s a tough fork in the road that many engineers face. The idea of stepping away from hands-on technical work to move into leadership requires mastering new skills, stepping into the spotlight, and strategic thinking. It feels like a major departure from their comfort zone of code development, testing, and debugging. But the truth is, growth happens outside the comf

The AI Industry Has a Huge "Credit Card Debt" Issue

Earlier this month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the quiet part out loud, telling reporters that he believes we're in a "phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI." Simmering concerns about a growing AI bubble — a word repeatedly invoked by Altman himself during the appearance — have gripped the industry, with spooked investors triggering a major tech sell-off in the wake of the CEO's remarks. Also fueling these fears was an MIT investigation that found a staggering 95 percent of

The depths of the Caribbean host a spectacular array of marine life—including this nurse shark featuring vivid orange scales and cloudy white eyes. Last year, anglers on a fishing trip near Costa Rica with Parisima Domus Dei, a tourist company, reeled in what looked like a giant goldfish with shark-like chompers.

Huge Parts of the North Sea Seabed Are Upside Down, New Study Reveals

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-11-05 10:25:03

In the world of stratigraphy, or rock layers, superficial sediments are usually younger than the deeper ones they settle upon. The North Sea, however, has revealed giant mounds of sand that defy this geological principle on a scale scientists have never seen before. Researchers from Norway and the UK have identified hundreds of sand bodies under the North Sea that seem to have sunk deeper into the ocean’s crust, swapping places with older layers, which floated to the top of the sand structures.
