Shawn Layden, formerly the head of Sony’s PlayStation studios throughout most of the PlayStation 4’s lifespan, recently discussed how publishers handle their exclusive games on the Pause for Thought podcast.
![The correlation structure reveals a shared underlying pattern between synthetically generated data-built upon a [latex]Gaussian-Bernoulli[/latex] model-and data originating from real-world observations, suggesting the model effectively captures essential relationships present in the observed phenomena.](https://arxiv.org/html/2512.21823v1/gaussian_corr.png)
A new approach leverages conditional Restricted Boltzmann Machines to identify structural changes in financial time series beyond traditional volatility analysis.
Arc Raiders features a wide variety of weapons, each with unique strengths and ways to play. However, some weapons are more effective than others, particularly in direct combat with other players, where even a single mistake can lead to defeat.
Surviving robot attacks was already a challenge, but the new ‘Cold Snap’ update for Arc Raiders makes things much harder with the addition of a brutal blizzard. This isn’t just about a snowy backdrop; it completely changes how you play. All four maps are now covered in snow, and the weather can shift rapidly, turning a clear day into a dangerous, blinding snowstorm in moments.
Therefore, the upcoming U.S. economic data has been watching the crypto market with the intensity usually reserved for a cliffhanger TV finale.
The iShares Silver Trust’s tokenized doppelgänger has become the darling of blockchain enthusiasts, its monthly transfers ballooning 1,200%. In 2025, as silver prices soared above $80/ounce, one might say the market’s collective IQ dropped faster than a bear market stock. Gold? Pfft-silver’s the new “it” metal, shattering decades of resistance with the grace of a bull in a china shop.
Imagine this: Hyperliquid, leaning back in their ergonomic chairs, smiling into their coffee cups, decides to unleash 1.2 million HYPE tokens on the unsuspecting world (or at least the financial markets) for the spread of good cheer known as the January 6 distribution. It’s the digital equivalent of a magician pulling rabbits out of a hat, but the rabbits are staked coins and they follow a 24-month schedule. From now on, January 6 employees will rejoice, as that’s the day the unstaking sun rises for all future distributions. Fancy that.
The digital currency did experience a slight decline from its earlier heights, falling to as low as $86,740 by Christmas Eve. Indeed, attempts to regain $90,000 proved frustrating, halted at a mere $89,000 on Friday, with the weekend spent oscillating between $87,000 and $88,000. One might almost feel sorry for the speculators! Such is the fickle nature of these modern investments.
This pronouncement, delivered with suitably bureaucratic gravity by one Lu Lei (a Deputy Governor of the People’s Bank of China – a title that inevitably evokes images of endless paperwork and lukewarm tea), appeared in the Financial News, a publication whose very existence suggests a degree of self-assured centrality. The intention? To ‘boost adoption,’ naturally. As if a digital currency needs ‘boosting’ like a melancholic spirit needs a pep talk.
The XRP galaxy is buzzing with chatter, as if the Great Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything was suddenly about wallet distribution. 🌌 Turns out, most wallets are as light as a towel at a hitchhiker’s convention, while a few hoarding whales could buy a small moon. 🌕 This has everyone arguing about whether the little fish can still swim in this cosmic pond.
