Scarlet turns Shakespeare into an animated fantasy epic

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2025-10-06 11:00:00

Well, I was wrong, and I did manage to make it to one last day at the Toronto International Film Festival. One of the movies I wanted to see the most this year was Scarlet, the latest from Mamoru Hosoda, whose most recent film was the metaverse fairy tale Belle. Whereas that film was a reimagining of Beauty and the Beast, Scarlet is a twist on Hamlet that’s full of bold, creative ideas. I mostly enjoyed it, but unfortunately it’s saddled with an ending that doesn’t really fit. I also managed to

‘Selling coffee beans to Starbucks’ – how the AI boom could leave AI’s biggest companies behind

How much do foundation models matter? It might seem like a silly question, but it’s come up a lot in my conversations with AI startups, which are increasingly comfortable with businesses that used to be dismissed as “GPT wrappers,” or companies that build interfaces on top of existing AI models like ChatGPT. These days, startup teams are focused on customizing AI models for specific tasks and interface work, and see the foundation model as a commodity that can be swapped in and out as necessary

7 launchers you should use instead of Nova Launcher

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-06 11:30:25

Andy Walker / Android Authority If you’ve been using Android phones as long as me, it’s impossible that you haven’t dabbled in Nova Launcher at some point. In fact, I’d say that Nova Launcher has been the go-to app for Android customization for well over a decade. It earned that well-deserved status by giving users more control than stock launchers ever could, from how icons looked to how gestures worked to how the app drawer was laid out. But all good things come to an end, and the development

Joe Maring / Android Authority Almost exactly nine months ago, Google announced it was raising the price of YouTube TV, increasing it from $72.99 per month to $82.99/month. And for anyone who has been subscribed to YouTube TV for a while, you probably saw this coming. When YouTube TV initially launched in 2017, the service cost just $34.99 each month — an unbelievably good deal by today’s standards. But it only took about a year for the first price increase to arrive, bumping it up to $39.99 p

The iPhone 17 is seemingly resonating with Chinese consumers, with seemingly strong preorder sales volume.

A Trick for Backpropagation of Linear Transformations

Linear transformations such as sums, matrix products, dot products, Hadamard products, and many more can often be represented using an einsum (short for Einstein summation). This post explains a simple trick to backpropagate through any einsum, regardless of what operations it represents. Example Einsum For example, an einsum for matrix multiplication can be written like so: import numpy as np A = np.arange(2 * 3).reshape(2, 3) # A = [ # [0, 1, 2], # [3, 4, 5] # ] B = np.arange(3 * 4).reshap

Apple introduced the Pro moniker for iPhones six years ago with the iPhone 11 lineup. However, with the iPhone 17 lineup in particular – it feels like Apple truly developed a professional iPhone for the first time. I’ll explain. ‘Pro’ is no longer just flashy First things first, this year’s iPhone 17 Pro is no longer the flashy model, unlike previous Pro iPhones. With this years switch from Titanium to Aluminum, the iPhone 17 Pro simply uses the same material as the standard iPhone 17 model.

Underlying great creations that you love—be it music, art, or technology—its form (what it looks like) is driven by an underpinning internal logic (how it works). I noticed this pattern while watching a talk on cellular automaton and realized it's "form follows function" paraphrased from a slightly different angle. Inventing a form is a hard task, so you must approach it obliquely—by first illuminating the underlying function. This made me realize something crucial about visual programming: it’
