So, even though Stranger Things seems to be really over with the last episode, a lot of us fans are buzzing about a possible secret installment! There’s this whole theory going around – people are calling it ‘Conformity Gate’ – and it’s got everyone wondering if there’s more to the story than we thought.
The popular horror series Scream successfully updated itself with the 2022 film by carefully blending the old with the new. It did this by featuring a new generation of main characters, commenting on how fans interact with horror movies today, and still including beloved characters like Sidney Prescott, Gale Weathers, and Dewey Riley. This showed the franchise could grow and change while staying true to what made it popular in the first place.
Bitcoin Faces Strong Resistance
This marks the highest staking demand since late August 2023-back when people still thought NFTs of cartoon apes were a sound investment. New validators now face a 30-day, 13-hour wait, which is roughly the time it takes for a British summer to disappoint.
A new framework aims to bridge the gap between data, services, and knowledge, enabling truly resilient and trustworthy industrial intelligence for the era of Industry 5.0.
![Client participation in Federated Learning exhibits network effects, wherein increased client involvement demonstrably amplifies the overall model accuracy, a phenomenon quantified by the observation that the marginal gain in performance diminishes as participation nears saturation, mirroring a logarithmic relationship described by [latex] \log(N) [/latex], where <i>N</i> represents the number of participating clients.](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.04648v1/x1.png)
This research introduces a mechanism to incentivize participation in federated learning systems, addressing the complex interplay of network effects and application-specific needs.
Meanwhile, the crypto market managed a marginal uptick over the last 24 hours, as if it had finally rolled out of bed and remembered to put on pants. Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and the rest of the gang traded in positive territory, which is basically the financial equivalent of a unicorn wearing a blazer. 🤖💸
![The study demonstrates that transferring neuron masks-specifically, those identified within a [latex]LLaMA2-7B-Base[/latex] model-directly to its [latex]LLaMA2-7B-Chat[/latex] counterpart yields measurable performance on target-language benchmarks-MMLU, C-Eval, and Belebele\_vi-suggesting a shared underlying neural infrastructure despite differing conversational objectives.](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.04664v1/x4.png)
New research reveals how individual neurons within large language models become dedicated to specific languages, moving beyond simple correlation to prove functional necessity.
Adapting H.P. Lovecraft’s stories for film and television is difficult because his monsters and horrors are intentionally vague and hard to picture. As a result, there aren’t many direct movie or TV versions of his tales. However, his influence – the feeling of cosmic dread and hidden terrors – can be seen in many other stories across different genres.
Richard Roeper hosted a show for eight years before pursuing other projects. In 2025, after 39 years as a film critic for the Sun-Times, he started writing for RogerEbert.com, the website created by his friend and fellow critic, Roger Ebert. Roeper enjoys all kinds of movies, especially good science fiction, but he’s also seen plenty of bad ones. Here are his picks for the ten worst sci-fi films.
