techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2025-07-30 18:07:11

When OpenAI was having its ChatGPT moment in 2022, Joe Scheidler, co-founder and CEO of Helios, was tackling a different kind of challenge: Helping build the White House’s newly authorized cybersecurity office and navigating the complexities of public-private coordination on cyber policies. His current co-founder, Joseph Farsakh, was also at the State Department, working on Yemen Houthi peace negotiations. The two overlapped in national security discussions and started trading notes on how larg

Report: ‘Elio’ Was Pixar’s Latest Victim of Cuts to Erase a Queer Storyline

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-08-17 22:00:55

A new report from The Hollywood Reporter alleges that Elio, Pixar’s latest movie, has become the latest in a growing line at the studio to face radical cuts and changes from senior management—including, yet again, the erasure of a queer narrative. The report revealed that Elio had a fraught behind-the-scenes production, that saw much of original director Adrian Molina’s (Coco) vision undergo significant restructuring to become the film that is in theaters now.

Joybird Eliot Sleeper Sofa Review: Gorgeous and Functional

wired.com Louryn Strampe 2025-08-22 18:02:00

Back in 2020, my colleague Scott Gilbertson tried the Joybird Eliot sofa. And he hated it. Ever since, the Joybird Eliot has been the only pick in the “Avoid” section of our couches buying guide. When Joybird reached out explaining that it had revamped the Eliot (and its customer service—more on that later), I was skeptical about trying it. But I did it for you, reader, and I'm happy to report that after three months of testing, this improved couch earns a passing grade in my book. From Swatch

One of the Most Surprising Moments in ‘Elio’ Feels Right Out of a Horror Movie

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-08-28 10:00:43

Pixar’s latest is a sci-fi gem that homages the genre in a surprisingly dark way. Elio directors Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian even dip into space horror for one of the film’s most memorable scenes. It was so unexpected for a Disney family film and worked so cleverly in the context of the movie, it left me wanting more of this tone in the future of Pixar films. Early in the film, an Elio clone made by the Comuniverse is sent to Earth so his aunt doesn’t notice the real Elio is gone. The clon

‘Elio’ Has a Bizarre Post-Credits Scene That’s Not About ‘Elio’ at All

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-08-30 14:25:56

If you forgot to stick around for the post-credits scenes tacked onto the end of Elio, this past weekend’s Pixar release teased two things. And if you haven’t seen it—what are you doing here? Kidding, we welcome the curious as we break down the unexpected scenes between the potential Elio spin-off Easter egg and a glimpse of Hoppers, Pixar’s next original concept film. First, we see Elio and his new friend, Bryce, reconnect with Glordon using their prototypical intergalactic radio, leaving thin

NASA's Voyager Found a 30k-50k Kelvin "Wall" at the Edge of Solar System

news.ycombinator.com James Felton 2025-08-31 10:24:05

In 1977, NASA launched the Voyager probes to study the Solar System's edge, and the interstellar medium between the stars. One by one, they both hit the "wall of fire" at the boundaries of our home system, measuring temperatures of 30,000-50,000 kelvin (54,000-90,000 degrees Fahrenheit) on their passage through it. There are a few ways you could define the edge of the Solar System – for instance, where the planets end, or at the Oort cloud, the boundary of the Sun's gravitational influence wher

‘Elio’ Gave Pixar Its Worst Box Office Opening Ever

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-08-31 14:00:53

Elio may have garnered some very solid reviews–low for Pixar considering its back catalogue, but still very solid–but that apparently wasn’t enough to save it from setting a pretty grim record. The movie is now currently Pixar’s worst-performing opening weekend, but while there is still plenty of time for things to change, what it might say about the future of the studio’s output isn’t so optimistic. Variety reports that Elio ranked third at the Box Office this weekend behind the still-continue

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-09-08 18:15:17

Elio is Pixar at its most original, delivering an extraordinary journey filled with wholehearted sci-fi wonder.

Through its main character’s close encounter, the film cleverly broaches the resonating experience of feeling alone against a backdrop of imaginative visuals illustrating the universe’s enormity
