This episode, “The Ultimate Dinner Party,” lives up to its name. The chefs head to Greenville, South Carolina, and compete by cooking for a dinner party attended by local food industry leaders. What I appreciated most about this episode was the challenge structure: the chefs cooked continuously from the Quickfire into the Elimination round, and they had to collaborate on a multi-course, staggered menu. Was the episode overly focused on Duke’s mayonnaise? Definitely. While I usually use Duke’s, I’m now thinking of switching to Kewpie just to make a point! The emphasis on timing and budget felt more genuine than some of the earlier challenges this season, and it was particularly difficult for the chefs so soon after the intense Restaurant Wars competition. Overall, this episode felt like Top Chef really testing the chefs’ endurance, and their responses varied quite a bit – some excelled in the Quickfire but struggled in the Elimination, and vice versa, while others were consistently average throughout.
This little nugget of info came out during a riveting exchange on X (formerly Twitter, because why not rename everything?). Someone asked about his XRP stash, and he replied with the nonchalance of a man who’s seen it all. “I once had 26 million XRP,” he wrote, probably while sipping a latte and staring into the void of his crypto wallet.
Capital B, that paragon of European Bitcoin Treasury Companies, has successfully extracted €1.1 million from the pockets of its benefactors through the issuance of 10 million share subscription warrants. Back, the CEO of Blockstream and a man who has doubtless spent more time pondering the mysteries of blockchain than most of us have spent sleeping, snapped them up at a mere €0.11 each. Each warrant, a financial instrument as opaque as a Waugh novel, entitles him to purchase one new share at €0.84-a price tethered to the whims of the market and the company’s Bitcoin-backed mNAV metric, a yardstick so preferred by Capital B that one wonders if it is made of solid gold.
He found Daisy at a difficult moment. When the conversation turned to the Head of Department dinner, Ben had just angrily left the restaurant. Daisy and João had been explaining to him how furious Jason had been when Ben was late to a meeting earlier that day. João, clearly smitten with Daisy, assured her of his unwavering support. They then met the rest of the team at the lagoon for drinks. Betul decided to stay home, feeling exhausted from work, but Ben agreed to join after receiving a text from Jenna and Daisy, who wrote that the drinks were very strong. By the end of the night, everyone was speaking incoherently.
Researchers have created a rigorous benchmark to assess how vulnerable large language models are to manipulation in real-world financial contexts.
Despite being very different in tone and style, both Pixar’s The Incredibles and the Prime Video series The Boys explore similar themes. The Incredibles centers on a family of superheroes dealing with everyday life and finding their place, while The Boys follows a group fighting against reckless and unethical heroes. Both shows use and playfully subvert classic superhero ideas, hinting at a nostalgic “golden age” of heroism.
