Novocaine (2025) Movie Review
First Reaction – Novocaine tries too hard to be edgy and outside the box.
Free RTS that combines Command & Conquer universes with new missions and co-op mode
The latest version of the game is numbered 1.08 and introduces many major changes.
Ethereum’s Validator Frenzy: FOMO or Farce? 👀💸
The entire crypto circus-ringmaster included-has been treading water for five blissfully dull weeks. The TOTAL market cap, bless its heart, has remained as exciting as a beige sofa, trapped in a state of perpetual limbo. And Ethereum? Poor old ETH has been polishing the rails between $2.6k and $3k with the dedication of a disgruntled train conductor. 🚂💫
How Three Banking Goliaths Ignored an Octogenarian’s $700K Scam-And Got Away With It!
It all started with a mischievous digital gremlin-a pop-up on her computer warning her that her bank accounts were about to be hacked faster than you can say “cybercriminals at work.” Naturally, she followed the instructions given, or rather, the instructions whispered confidently by her new best friends-those charming hackers-and withdrew hundreds of thousands of dollars from her accounts at Merrill, UBS, and TD. Then, in a move that would make even the most seasoned scam artist proud, she sent all that loot off to a Texas gold dealer, presumably a character straight out of a western novel. 🤠
Avatar: Fire & Ash Villains Teases An Exciting New Antagonist for Avatar 4 & 5
The villains in Avatar: The Way of Water were compelling and complex, especially Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) and Varang (Oona Chaplin). However, I’m really interested to find out more about the even larger threat hinted at for the fourth and fifth Avatar movies.
Seeing Clearly: AI Sharpens Focus on Real-Time Surgical Scene Understanding
![The research details a surgical video analysis pipeline-SpikeSurgSeg-which leverages a pretrained, spike-driven video encoder employing layer-wise tube masking for reconstruction, and integrates this with a spike-driven memory readout and feature pyramid network, ultimately achieving surgical scene segmentation with an SNN-based model distinguished by its two spike-driven CNN blocks and two spike-driven spatiotemporal Transformers exhibiting linear space-time computational complexity-[latex]O(N)[/latex].](https://arxiv.org/html/2512.21284v1/x2.png)
A new framework leverages spiking neural networks and video transformers to deliver accurate and energy-efficient segmentation of surgical video feeds.
He Who Stakes a Billion ETH Might Just Own the Moon 🌕💸
Lo! In but two sunrises and two starlit evenings, the industrious BitMine hath committed no less than 342,560 ETH to the sacred flames of staking-valued, one gasps, at nearly $1 billion. Data from the ever-observant oracle @lookonchain reveals this not as mere investment, but as a declaration: the institutions, once shy as woodland deer, now charge forth with wallets a-flutter. 🐂💼
Smarter IoT Security: Classifying Encrypted Traffic with AI
![A diffusion-based system extracts multi-level features from traffic imagery by progressively introducing noise, then leveraging a U-Net architecture to denoise and identify optimal feature layers-a process refined through [latex]K[/latex]-means clustering for efficient fine-tuning-and ultimately fusing adjacent network layer features to represent both detailed and abstract traffic patterns.](https://arxiv.org/html/2512.21144v1/x2.png)
A new approach leverages the power of diffusion models and large language models to accurately identify network traffic even within the limitations of resource-constrained IoT devices.
Disney Doomed TRON: Ares by Forgetting About Tron
With all the potential to be a great follow-up to the already strong TRON: Legacy, TRON: Ares unfortunately stumbled. The biggest issue? The absence of TRON himself. While he wasn’t the central figure after the first movie, he still played a significant part in Legacy. Now, with TRON: Ares underperforming in theaters, it’s obvious that including the character the series is named after might have made a real difference.
