The case, which began with all the usual fanfare and finger-wagging back in January 2023-filed in the Southern District of New York like it was the opening act of a Wall Street revenge drama-has now been quietly tucked into the dustbin of regulatory second thoughts. The joint stipulation filed today didn’t even come with fireworks. Just a shrug, a stamp, and the legal equivalent of “carry on, citizen.”
The probability of Uncle Sam slamming his wallet shut has ascended to comical heights-Polymarket now wagers an 80% chance the government will cease operations by January 31st, as if bureaucrats were tavern patrons fleeing when the vodka runs dry.
New research shows that large language models, combined with a clever data retrieval technique, can accurately forecast which startups are likely to thrive, even with limited information.
Nolan’s appreciation for Travis Scott goes back at least to his film Tenet. Scott contributed a song to the movie’s soundtrack and collaborated with Ludwig Göransson on the overall musical direction. Nolan told GQ in 2020 that Scott’s contribution was the final element after a year of work. However, if you’re hoping to see Scott’s interpretation of The Odyssey, you might have to be patient. Leaked trailers for the TV series are being quickly taken down due to copyright claims – even faster than Odysseus eliminates the suitors vying for Penelope’s hand, and that’s saying something!
As complex tasks are increasingly delegated to teams of AI agents, understanding and addressing the reasons for their failures is critical for building dependable systems.
With tax relief from 55% to 20% and asset managers lining up to offer products, Japan is showing up fashionably late to Asia’s crypto ETF party-still, better late than never, especially when there’s champagne involved (metaphorically speaking, not literally, I hope).
The popular anime Tokyo Revengers is coming to Toonami in just under two weeks, according to a recent post from the ToonamiNews Twitter account. It’s scheduled to premiere on February 7th, right after Blue Lock finishes airing.
The event is truly special, not just because of the famous people attending, but because of how enthusiastic and engaged everyone is. Many haven’t seen each other for decades, and while they’re all older, they’re clearly energized by discussing the Harlem Renaissance, likely because its meaning is still debated today. Ida Mae Cullen, the wife of poet Countee Cullen, pointed out that people often mistakenly believed the Renaissance happened in the 1930s, when it actually began in the 1920s. There’s ongoing discussion about whether the Renaissance was a specific moment in time, or if its influence continued for much longer. Poet Arna Bontemps, who sadly passed away the following year, described the period as a way of understanding the entire Black experience, from the past to the present, and how it reshaped both history and the future.
Last week’s episode explored Henry’s troubled mind within his marriage to Yasmin. Now, in “Habseligkeiten,” the couple officially joins the Tender team. Henry is assisting co-founder Whitney with securing the necessary approvals and deals as the company expands into banking. When a frustrated Austrian nobleman threatens this progress, the Tender team travels to his estate to try and gain his support. During their visit, Hayley, Henry and Whitney’s assistant, delivers documents to their room. Yasmin seizes the moment, drawing Hayley into the bedroom just as Henry walks by, and then manipulates Henry into having sex with her while she watches. Actress Kiernan Shipka, 26, acknowledges the provocative scene, saying she anticipated a strong reaction. Having started her career at age six with a role on Mad Men, and later starring in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Twisters, Shipka says she doesn’t usually think about her work in terms of shock value, but she was thrilled to be part of a show that’s so daring and unconventional.
The story, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, aims to balance the relationship between its two main characters. In the second episode, called “Hard Salt Beef” (a reference to the simple food eaten by traveling knights), Egg begins to truly bond with Dunk, acting as more than just a boy traveling with him. While still a child, Egg demonstrates a surprising level of maturity and is also quite endearing.
