The Horror Hit ‘Weapons’ Is Coming Home Sooner Than You Think

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-10-10 07:30:21

Whatever you do, don’t invite the creepy witch into your home. That is, of course, unless it’s on your TV and you’re sitting on the couch. One of this summer’s biggest surprise hits, Weapons, is now ready to make its trek home, and it’s arriving incredibly soon. The unique, sprawling horror film is coming to digital on September 9, followed by a physical release on October 14. Written and directed by Zach Cregger, Weapons is the story of a town shattered by a horrific event. One evening, an ent

Mark Zuckerberg encouraged execs to do MMA training with him

techcrunch.com Amanda Silberling 2025-10-12 18:17:23

In Brief Mark Zuckerberg is so dedicated to his mixed martial arts (MMA) training that he invited his senior executives to join him for workout sessions. This amusing revelation comes from Nick Clegg’s forthcoming book. Meta’s former president of global affairs shares the story in what Fast Company unfavorably describes as a book with “thin prose,” save for some “surprising anecdotes,” such as this tale of Clegg sparring with his deputy Joel Kaplan.

Creating a qubit fit for a quantum future

A topological alternative For the team at Nokia Bell Labs, the solution lies in better qubits rather than bigger machines. Specifically, rather than information encoded in individual elementary particles, the team is focused on qubits that hold this same information in the way matter is spatially oriented—what is known as a topological qubit. This alternative approach uses electromagnetic fields to manipulate charges around a supercooled electron liquid, triggering the qubits to switch between

Meta Defector Issues Devastating Psychological Takedown of Tech CEOs

Nick Clegg, a former Meta executive who left the company at the start of this year, has led many lives. Before jumping ship to the tech world, he was a deputy prime minister of the United Kingdom, a leader of the UK's Liberal Democrat party, and a member of Parliament — and still, the hubris and wealth he saw in Silicon Valley startled even the well-heeled British politico.

Former Meta exec Nick Clegg offers careful criticism of ‘cloyingly conformist’ Silicon Valley

In Brief Meta’s former policy chief Nick Clegg seems to be walking a tightrope as he promotes his upcoming book, “How to Save the Internet.” Unlike certain other Meta employee memoirs, “How to Save the Internet” doesn’t sound like a tell-all or a scathing critique. And in an interview with the Guardian, Clegg (who previously led the U.K.’s Liberal Democrats) seems to distance himself from Silicon Valley without quite disavowing his former employer. “I really do believe that, despite its imper

What Happened to Egghead Software

news.ycombinator.com Dave Farquhar 2025-10-28 05:18:18

Egghead Software was a US retail store that sold computer software from 1984 to 2001. It declared bankruptcy 24 years ago this week, on August 18, 2001, after an attempted transition to selling online failed. Egghead Software’s beginnings Egghead Software started in Bellevue, Washington in 1984 and moved eastward. Its founder, Victor D. Alhadeff, had a background in oil and gas, but when his old company went out of business in 1983, he needed a new idea. That came from shopping for software. A

Weapons hasn’t been in theaters a week, but the studio already wants more.

The portrayals of family, fear, and loss—it’s all heartbreaking and scary even before you get to the chills and thrills.

In the lead up to his newest film Weapons, we learned writer/director Zach Cregger would tackle Resident Evil for his next project.

Talking to Inverse, Cregger called himself “the biggest worshipper of the games, so I’m telling a story that’s a love letter to the games and follows the rules of the games.” No

Hibernation’s Hidden Healing ‘Superpowers’ Could Be Locked in Our DNA

After spending months without eating, drinking, or moving, hibernating mammals must rebound from extreme physiological changes. Two new studies suggest that the genetic “superpowers” underlying this incredible resilience may also be present in the human genome. For these studies, published Thursday, July 31, in the journal Science, researchers at the University of Utah honed in on the specific DNA regions that help hibernators rapidly recover from muscle atrophy, insulin resistance, and brain d

Zach Cregger’s latest movie, Weapons, is unforgettable. And not only because it’s intense, gross, and fascinating, which it is. It’s that the premise of the movie is so smart, seductive, and deeply disturbing that we’d gladly watch a bad movie about it just to find out more. Thankfully, Cregger is able to build off his ingenious idea and deliver a constantly surprising and often horrific mystery that blends drama and scares in a way that creates something truly special.

In polling, only 10% of Americans correctly identify that male chicks in the egg industry are killed shortly after hatching. A plurality mistakenly believe these chicks are raised for meat, and another 10% even think that male chickens can lay eggs. Most people are surprised, and often disturbed, to learn the truth: in the United States alone, approximately 350 million male chicks are routinely culled each year, typically by methods such as maceration (being ground up alive).

Researchers get viable mice by editing DNA from two sperm

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-28 15:34:11

For many species, producing an embryo is a bit of a contest between males and females. Males want as many offspring as possible, and want the females to devote as many resources as possible to each of them. Females are better at keeping their options open and distributing resources in a way to maximize the number of offspring they can produce over the course of their lives. In mammals, this plays out through the chemical modification of DNA, a process called imprinting. Males imprint their DNA

Robert Eggers Is Making a ‘Christmas Carol’ Movie, and Willem Dafoe May Be Scrooge
