‘Resident Evil: Requiem’ Will Refocus On the Series’ Past

After the series explored new, undead ground in the last two main games, Resident Evil: Requiem is going back to narrative threads from the franchise’s past. In a recent PlayStation Blog interview, producer Masato Kumazawa talked about Requiem’s timing as a game for the series’ 30th anniversary. Where Ethan Winters’ two games “explored [the series’] broader world, Capcom wanted to “return to a story that continues the overarching narrative rooted in Raccoon City and the secret machinations of t

What LLMs Know About Their Users

We need to talk about data integrity. Narrowly, the term refers to ensuring that data isn’t tampered with, either in transit or in storage. Manipulating account balances in bank databases, removing entries from criminal records, and murder by removing notations about allergies from medical records are all integrity attacks. More broadly, integrity refers to ensuring that data is correct and accurate from the point it is collected, through all the ways it is used, modified, transformed, and eve

'Squid Game' Is Back! Here's How to Watch Season 3 on Netflix

The third and final season of Squid Game is here. Get ready, the final games are about to begin. The second season of Netflix's global hit series ended on a cliffhanger, leaving the fates of Gi-hun/Player 456 (Lee Jung-jae) and the rest of the players in question. How will Gi-hun get his revenge against the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun)? Will Jun-ho find the island in time to bring the ones behind these death gauntlets to justice? It's possible, but writer-director Hwang Dong-hyuk has created a wor

The Final Scene of ‘Squid Game’ Is a Cop-Out

Squid Game’s final season is here at last, revealing the fates of the show’s heroes and villains. That includes Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), the shell of a man who returns to the deadly competition as Player 456, intent on bringing it all down from the inside. When we first met Gi-hun back in season one, he was a perpetual ne’er-do-well, sponging off his ailing mother to supply his gambling habit and routinely disappointing his young daughter. While he was off trying to win the 45.6 billion won, his

Apple tests if AI assistants can anticipate the consequences of in-app actions

This is just a personal experience, there are no absolute truths. Like in any other blog post, a lot of the things you'll read here could be just a skill issue, or legitimate issues.

‘Squid Game’ Delivers a Harrowing, Heartbreaking Final Installment

Squid Game’s first season dropped seemingly out of the sky in 2021, spanning nine episodes and giving Netflix its biggest hit to date, winning Emmys for creator Hwang Dong-hyuk, star Lee Jung-jae, and others.

Six months later, season three is here; it has just six episodes and begins immediately after the season two cliffhanger. It’s tempting to wish Netflix had just released all of seaso
