The Maker of Ozempic Is in Such Deep Trouble That It’s Going on Hiring Lockdown

Image by Sergei Gapon / AFP via Getty / Futurism Rx/Medicines Novo Nordisk, the Denmark-based pharmaceutical company that makes Ozempic and Wegovy, looks like it's being toppled off its GLP-1 throne. In a statement to Reuters, the Danish conglomerate admitted that it "currently [has] a hiring freeze in non-business critical areas." Though Novo offered no additional explanation, the writing has been on the wall for months that the once-dominant drug manufacturer is in big financial trouble. D

Linear scan register allocation on SSA

Much of the code and education that resulted in this post happened with Aaron Patterson. The fundamental problem in register allocation is to take an IR that uses a virtual registers (as many as you like) and rewrite it to use a finite amount of physical registers and stack space. This is an example of a code snippet using virtual registers: add R1, R2 -> R3 add R1, R3 -> R4 ret R4 And here is the same example after it has been passed through a register allocator (note that Rs changed to Ps)

They Might Be Making the Perfect ‘Star Trek: Voyager’ Game

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-11-16 22:45:19

For as long as Star Trek: Voyager has been around, there has been much debate about if Captain Janeway made the right decisions navigating her crew’s journey home across years of travel from an unexplored corner of the galaxy with little to no support from Starfleet. Should she have killed Tuvix to save the lives of two crewmembers? Should she have been hyperevolved into an amphibian and had sex with one of her senior, also-currently-a-hyperevolved-amphibian officers? Should she have deleted tha

This is the Ultimate '90s Cyberpunk Movie (No, It's Not 'The Matrix')

The cyberpunk movement has given us some of the best science fiction movies: Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell and, yes, The Matrix. But there's one great tech noir flick that came out at the height of the cyberpunk craze -- and then all but disappeared. Maybe that's partly because of its title. I'd wanted to rewatch Strange Days for a long time, but I kept forgetting because, honestly, I couldn't remember what it was called. Then I finally rediscovered the sci-fi thriller on Hulu.

This one is meant to be a bit like a developer version of that – I want to explain in hopefully understandable language what all the pieces of the network architecture are and how they all fit together.

Almost a year has passed since audiences were first exposed to HBO’s The Penguin, and to call it a success would be an understatement. The show didn’t just find fans among critics and audiences alike; everyone involved has been swimming in awards ever since, with its recent 24 Emmy nominations being the latest. And yet, before its release, many were skeptical of the show. Why would we want to see this story? And did it make sense to do a Batman villain story without Batman himself? To that last

Mammals that chose ants and termites as food almost never go back

If you were to design the strangest diet possible, eating nothing but ants and termites would probably make the shortlist. Yet over the past 66 million years, mammals across the globe have repeatedly gone down this path—not once or twice, but at least a dozen times. From anteaters and aardvarks to pangolins and aardwolves, the so-called myrmecophages (animals that feed on ants and termites) have evolved similar traits: they’ve lost most or all of their teeth, grown long sticky tongues, and learn
