‘Wednesday’ VFX Crew Explains How They Pulled Off That Wild Zombie Transformation

Netflix’s Jenna Ortega-led second season of Wednesday, while released in an annoyingly incremental fashion, has given fans tons of thrills and fast-favorite moments, including the extremely hyped arrival of one Mother Monster, Lady Gaga. Among the more astonishing moments in the season so far, however, are the visual effects and prosthetic designs—including a zombie and putting Christopher Lloyd’s head in a jar. The show’s visual effects team lifted the veil on how they pulled it off in an inte

Tesla challenges $243 million verdict in Autopilot death trial

Tesla has asked a judge to nix the $243 million verdict lodged against the company in a lawsuit involving its Autopilot system, or to allow a new trial to occur, according to a new court filing. The company’s lawyers argue that the verdict, which a jury made earlier this month, “flies in the face of basic Florida tort law, the Due Process Clause, and common sense.” This latest filing by Tesla lawyers tries, once again, to rest all of the blame on the driver George McGee, who helped cause the cr

Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict

Tesla was found partially liable in a wrongful death lawsuit in a federal court in Miami today. It's the first time that a jury has found against the car company in a wrongful death case involving its Autopilot driver assistance system—previous cases have been dismissed or settled. In 2019, George McGee was operating his Tesla Model S using Autopilot when he ran past a stop sign and through an intersection at 62 mph then struck a pair of people stargazing by the side of the road.

Serving a half billion requests per day with Rust and CGI

In my previous post Serving 200 million requests per day with a cgi-bin, I did some quick performance testing of CGI using a program written in Go. Go works excellently for CGI programs, for many of the same reasons it works so well for CLI programs and system daemons. But, out of curiosity, I decided to do a bit more CGI testing with other languages. CGI is good technology, actually# There’s a misconception that because CGI is old or because many CGI scripts had security vulnerabilities, CG

People Hated the ‘Squid Game’ Ending, so They’re Using AI to Make New Ones

Pissing people off with your series finale is practically a rite of passage for beloved TV shows at this point. Just ask fans of The Sopranos, or Dexter, or Game of Thrones. And if you’re feeling butt hurt by your favorite TV show’s subpar ending, you may be tempted to imagine a whole new one—an ending where Tony gets whacked, or survives some kind of epic John Wick-style shootout, or, I don’t know, assembles all the Infinity Stones and becomes the supreme ruler of mobsters across the universe.

Serving 200M requests per day with a CGI-bin

In the early 2000s, we used to write a lot of CGI programs. This was the primary way to make websites dynamic at the time. These CGI programs were usually written in Perl, but sometimes in C or other languages to increase performance. The CGI mechanism is conceptually simple but powerful. When the web server receives an incoming request for a CGI script (e.g. /~jakegold/cgi-bin/guestbook.cgi ), it: Sets up environment variables containing request metadata (HTTP headers, query parameters, requ

Tuesday Telescope: A howling wolf in the night sky

Welcome to the Tuesday Telescope. There is a little too much darkness in this world and not enough light—a little too much pseudoscience and not enough science. We’ll let other publications offer you a daily horoscope. At Ars Technica, we’ll take a different route, finding inspiration from very real images of a universe that is filled with stars and wonder. In the 1800s, astronomers were mystified by the discovery of stars that displayed highly unusual emission lines. It was only after 1868, wh
