This summer has seen some pretty catchy needle drops in movies, from Superman‘s Mighty Crabjoys to KPop Demon Hunters flash mob fandoms for Huntr/x and the Saja Boys. The latter Netflix release has reached not only Billboard music charts but also become the most streamed animated feature ever. With that in mind, we look back at our favorite fake bands’ best songs of the past 30 years.

Benchmarking MicroPython

In the Q&A session following my EuroPython 2025 presentation about the Microdot web framework, a member of the audience asked me what the performance of MicroPython running on a microcontroller is. This took me a bit by surprise, because while I knew that microcontrollers are slow and underpowered devices, I really had no way to quantify this. I never questioned the supposedly low performance, because it was never a problem for me. My answer to the question was that microcontrollers cannot repl

Developer survey shows trust in AI coding tools is falling as usage rises

AI tools are widely used by software developers, but those devs and their managers are still grappling with figuring out how exactly to best put the tools to use, with growing pains emerging along the way. That's the takeaway from the latest survey of 49,000 professional developers by community and information hub StackOverflow, which itself has been heavily impacted by the addition of large language models (LLMs) to developer workflows.

Celebrating 40 Years of the Weirdest, Nerdiest Week in Movie History

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-12-20 11:00:33

“Don’t cannibalize the audience” is an unwritten mantra in Hollywood. If a movie that is coming out has a similar subject matter or serves a similar viewership as one you are releasing, you try and put some distance between them so as not to ruin your chances of success. If two movies come out that are too similar, it’s likely to split the audience and hurt both of them. That seems like a no-brainer point of view. And yet, 40 years ago this week, three movies were released in a seven-day span th

Quora’s AI platform Poe announced on Thursday that it’s releasing an API that allows developers to easily access different models or bots for their own applications. The API doesn’t require a separate fee. Instead, usage is tracked via Poe’s existing point-based subscription plans, where each model call costs a set number of points. For instance, low-quality image generation through GPT-4o in a 1:1 aspect ratio and 1024 x 1024 size would cost 328 points. Today, Poe’s plans include the $4.99 pe

Is Mark Zuckerberg flip flopping on open source AI?

Earlier today, Mark Zuckerberg shared a rambling memo outlining his vision to build AI "superintelligence." In the memo, Zuckerberg hinted that the pursuit of more powerful AI might require the company to be more selective in what it open sources. Citing "safety concerns" he wrote that Meta would need to be "rigorous" about such decisions. The line stood out to many as Zuckerberg — who once said " fuck that " in reference to closed platforms — has made open source central to Meta's AI strategy.
