When I first heard about Flightcast on the Podbiz show, I thought, "I have to have Rox Codes on my show." I had Rox do a Flightcast demo for members of the School of Podcasting. Rox has worked for Mr. Beast, Microsoft, Facebook and many more.In this episode of the School of Podcasting, I sit down with Rox Codes, co-creator of Flight Cast, the video-first hosting platform built in partnership with Steven Bartlett from Diary of a CEO.If you've been thinking about getting more serious with video podcasting, YouTube growth, or centralizing your stats from multiple platforms, this one is for you.This content may contain affiliate links, meaning I earn a small commission if you purchase through these links at no additional cost to you.

It's those Family Ties that can really choke the life out of you...In theatres tomorrow June 12th for a limited run before it hits VOD (and eventually Shudder), we get to look at a beautifully bent piece of cinema from one of Canada's up & coming storytellers who isn't afraid to get a little bit bent.  It's time for 'The Voices of Our Mother'.When a family matriarch falls seriously ill, relatives gather and discover their shared ancestral ties bind them in unexpected ways.From Writer/Director Mark O'Brien who you might remember as an actor from memorable turns in films like 'Arrival' and 'Nuremberg' and his debut feature 'The Righteous' gives us a horror laden family drama that is steeped in some of the classics from the past.We talked about his inspirations, working with a Canadian icon like Sheila McCarthy, his appreciation for his collaborators but locally and internationally and we got a little 'Basic; about our love of movies on physical media and so very much more.'The Voices of Our Mother' is in theatres now and on VOD platforms on June 19th

Assistir à Copa do Mundo já não significa apenas ligar a televisão e acompanhar os jogos. Com streaming, YouTube, múltiplas telas, transmissões em 4K e a chegada da TV 3.0, a forma como o público consome futebol mudou completamente e o delay virou um dos maiores desafios dessa nova era. No novo episódio do Podcast Canaltech, conversamos com Lucy Tabuti, coordenadora do curso de Ciências de Dados e Negócios da ESPM, sobre como a tecnologia está transformando as transmissões esportivas ao vivo. No papo, ela explica por que existe atraso entre diferentes plataformas, como as empresas estão tentando reduzir a latência durante os jogos e o que esperar da chamada TV 3.0, que promete transmissões mais interativas, personalizadas e imersivas.

Make a Logo on Fiverr Cloner Alliance Steps Up the UHD Pro 4K The Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K is a standalone video capture and recording box built for creators, gamers, and anyone who needs a simple way to record HDMI video without turning the setup into a complicated production rig. After looking at the previous Cloner Alliance Pro 4K model, this newer UHD Pro 4K brings some useful upgrades, including USB-C, microSD support, USB 3.0, and more flexible recording options. This is designed for pro video workflows, game capture, screenshots, camera recording, and even scheduled recording. It can capture in 4K, supports HDMI pass-through, and records to external storage including flash drives, microSD cards, and larger hard drives. What's in the Box? Inside the box, Cloner Alliance keeps things straightforward. You get the UHD Pro 4K unit, instruction materials, a remote control, HDMI cable, power adapter, and a USB-C to USB-A cable. A Welcome USB-C Upgrade One of the first noticeable changes is the move from micro USB to USB-C. That makes the UHD Pro 4K feel more modern and more useful in current creator setups. The device also includes USB 3.0 support, which matters when you are recording larger video files at higher bitrates. Ports and Controls On the top of the unit, you get physical controls for pause, snapshot, record, and stop. There are also audio inputs, including mic, aux, and line-in options. On the side, the unit includes microSD/TF card support, USB-C, and USB-A connectivity. On the back, you get the power button, 12V power input, HDMI input, and HDMI output for pass-through monitoring. Recording Options for Video Capture The Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K can record in MP4 or TS file formats. Resolution options include 4K, 1080p, or auto mode. For many users, auto mode will probably be the easiest choice, but having manual resolution control is useful when you need to lock the output to a specific format. H.264 and H.265 Recording The UHD Pro 4K supports both H.264 AVC and H.265 HEVC recording. That gives users some flexibility depending on whether they want broader compatibility or more efficient compression. The video bitrate can go up to 50 Mbps, which is a nice option for higher-quality captures. Just remember that a higher bitrate also means larger files, and your storage device needs to be fast enough to keep up. Audio Settings Audio options include HDMI audio, mic input, and aux input. You can adjust mic volume, aux volume, and HDMI output volume. The audio bitrate can be set up to 320 Kbps for better sound quality. That said, this is not a multitrack audio recorder. If you combine audio sources into the unit, they are recorded together. For serious productions, it is still better to manage audio separately when possible. Storage: Flash Drive, microSD, or Hard Drive The UHD Pro 4K supports recording to multiple storage types. You can use microSD/TF cards, USB flash drives, and larger external hard drives. The device can also test writing speed, which is useful before recording at higher bitrates. File Size and Loop Recording Recording file size options include unlimited, 4GB, 16GB, or two-hour segments. This lets you decide how the device breaks up long recordings. There is also loop recording, which makes the UHD Pro 4K useful beyond gaming and creator content. You could use it with a camera for basic security-style recording, where older files are overwritten once storage fills up. HDMI Pass-Through and Latency One of the biggest questions with any video capture device is latency. The UHD Pro 4K includes HDMI pass-through so you can send video to a monitor while recording. Better Than the Previous Model Compared with the earlier Cloner Alliance Pro 4K, the latency on the UHD Pro 4K appears improved. The older model had more noticeable delay, while this new version feels closer to the 50 to 100 millisecond range during pass-through testing. That is still not zero latency. For casual gameplay, recording, screenshots, or camera capture, it may be fine. For competitive gaming, you may still want to put a splitter before the Cloner Alliance box and monitor directly from the source. On-Screen Menus and Remote Control The UHD Pro 4K includes a remote for navigating system settings, recording settings, audio settings, scheduling, playback, and storage options. Settings You Can Adjust The system menu includes time settings, time zone, HDMI output resolution, HDMI output scale, screensaver, language, factory reset, and firmware information. The recording menu lets you choose format, resolution, file size, codec, bitrate, audio bitrate, loop recording, and watermark options. Remote Control Experience The remote works without needing to be aimed perfectly at the unit, which is a plus. However, it can be a little touch-and-go at times, occasionally needing more than one button press. Scheduling and Standalone Recording A big advantage of the Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K is that it does not always need a computer to record. You can connect your source, attach storage, and record directly from the unit. Scheduled Recording The device also includes scheduled recording options. That could be useful for capturing a camera feed, recording a recurring video source, or setting up a simple unattended recording station. Using the UHD Pro 4K With a Computer The UHD Pro 4K can also connect to a PC using the Cloner Alliance helper software. Once connected, you can preview the video feed, record to the computer, schedule recordings, choose capture devices, and configure folders for video and photo storage. Live Video and Virtual Camera Use The software also includes options for live broadcasting and virtual camera use. That means you can bring the Cloner Alliance feed into apps such as OBS, vMix, or other streaming software. The computer preview does introduce more latency than the HDMI pass-through monitor, so it is best used for setup, checking framing, or recording control — not as your main real-time display. Video Screenshots and Pro Video Uses The UHD Pro 4K is not just for recording full videos. The snapshot button makes it useful for grabbing video screenshots, especially from gameplay, cameras, or HDMI-based devices. Good for Creators and Reviewers For content creators, this can be a useful box to keep nearby. It can capture from a camera, record a gameplay feed, document a device's HDMI output, or act as a simple single-source recorder when you need something fast. Pros and Cons Pros The Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K is easy to set up, works as a standalone recorder, supports 4K capture, includes HDMI pass-through, offers USB-C and USB 3.0, supports higher bitrate recording, and works with the same Cloner Alliance software ecosystem. Cons There is still some latency, especially when using the computer preview. The remote can occasionally require extra button presses. Also, while the audio input options are useful, this is not a replacement for a dedicated multitrack audio workflow. Final Thoughts on the Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K The Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K is a solid upgrade over the previous model. The move to USB-C, the addition of microSD support, better storage flexibility, and improved latency make it a more capable video capture device for creators, gamers, and anyone working with HDMI video. It is easy to set up, flexible enough for standalone recording or computer-based capture, and useful for everything from pro video workflows to video screenshots. If you need a simple HDMI video capture and recording box that can work without a full computer setup, the UHD Pro 4K is worth a look.

Harry Warden is here to see you! My Bloody Valentine (1981) My Bloody Valentine turns 45 years old this year. The director, George Mihalka, was the guest of honor at this year’s Portland Horror Film Festival. He was kind enough to speak with the Scariest Things, who are huge fans of the film. Lost cutting room footage was recently found when the producer was absorbed by Lionsgate, allowing some of the missing gory effects to be brought back into the movie. So, it’s time to revisit this movie and talk to the creator about why it remains important today. In my nine years of managing the Scariest Things, I have been honored to meet some of the best people in the horror movie industry. Mick Garris, David Dastmalchian, Darren Lyn Bousman, Ben Leonberg, Aaron Moorhead, Carter Smith, and Ted Geoghegan are all people whom I would consider friends of the Scariest Things, having met and interviewed them. But, after meeting George Mihalka, director of My Bloody Valentine (1981), I can firmly say that he is my favorite person in the genre. Talking with George felt like story time. He was warm and generous, and was eager to tell us all about how he did his movie. George is an outlier, as far as horror directors go. He produced a singular, momentous horror film and then had a long directorial career outside of the genre. His experiences with Jack Valenti and the MPAA, who censored his film, were a “death by a thousand cuts” quite literally. It may have scared him off from continuing as a horror specialist, even though he had the gift. Sadly, some of the most creative kills in the movie got edited to the point of bloodlessness. He likes to say that it became “My Anemic Valentine”. And that, “There is more blood in the title than there is in the movie.” Frame-by-frame slicing and dicing. The film became the fall-guy film for the industry as a reaction to random violence following John Lennon’s assassination. Somebody would have to be made an example of, and in this case, it was Mihalka and My Bloody Valentine. The Legacy of My Bloody Valentine Despite all the censorship, it still found an audience. And we can celebrate it 45 years later. It is a testament to the story, the amazing sets, and better-than-average performances that, despite having the most exciting parts of the movie excised, the film became iconic. It is the trope foundation for so many slasher films to come. I Know What You Did Last Summer comes to mind. Scream, with its multiple killer options, also owes a debt to this film. And those are just the big ones. Simply put, My Bloody Valentine is foundational horror. For me, it ranks only behind 1978’s Halloween for slasher movies of that era. You can see the family tree: Black Christmas, The Town That Dreaded Sundown, My Bloody Valentine, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Cold Prey, Heart Eyes. Silent human killers bent on revenge, in full costume, butchering their way through lots of pretty young adults. This is the model, and it works well when executed with focus and craft. My Bloody Valentine helped build the trope platform that so many slasher films have utilized. They may be cliches now, but along with Friday the 13th, The Burning, and Halloween, MBV established these themes: Masked killer (essential) The Hidden Villain Switcheroo Splitting up the group (OK, this one is as old as horror films have been around, but slashers really take advantage of this trope.) Sneaking off to have sex in the next room is really dangerous. Never leave a romantic interlude to get booze. Let’s go exploring a really dangerous place for the fun of it. A panicking mayor. The young people don’t listen to the cops. The cops don’t tell the people what they need to know. The mad prophet. (Happy, in this movie) The body in a cooler. (A nod to Rabid?) Childhood trauma made the killer. Remember. This is an early slasher film. MBV does all of these tropes better than most. Mihalka wanted to do Deer Hunter, slasher style. He knew what he was getting into and willingly admitted that this was a movie meant to be fun and make money. It wasn’t going to be an Oscar contender. But he took the ideas of The Deer Hunter and the disaffected blue-collar workers and crafted a story that, despite its drive-in bona fides, was as much about the community as it was about the killer. The film used a real mine in a wind-swept working-class Sydney, Nova Scotia. It has a simple, plausible story. And now that the film has recovered some of its cutting-room components, restored to a 4K Blu-ray Collector’s edition, it can be appreciated for the gory creativity that fans were denied in 1981. About George Mihalka George was a Hungarian immigrant to Canada, initially unable to speak English or French. He initially found it difficult to integrate into Canadian culture, but would eventually become a highly prolific director in both English- and French-language films. He has amassed over fifty credits. This includes long runs on Canadian TV shows: Crossbow, Scoop, Undressed, and 24-Hour Rental. However, he will always be known for My Bloody Valentine. You can find several of his interviews online, talking about this movie. (But of course, you found this one first, right?) Mihalka appears to be comfortable with his legacy. He’s had plenty of time to see his film first get threatened with an X-rating, then achieve moderate box-office success, receive a sequel, and become the moniker of a hugely influential post-punk shoegaze band. George genuinely seemed to glow at how much the fans appreciated his work all these years later. He isn’t a stranger to the festival and podcast interview circuit. His easygoing demeanor, combined with his wisdom and eagerness to share stories about the craft of filmmaking, makes for story time with Uncle George. This is why I love doing what I do. When you meet your heroes and they turn out to be wonderful people, it confirms that pursuing this hobby as a small-press horror blogger rewards the grind. The Interview: This is the recording from the Portland Horror Film Festival 2026 by Eric Li and Mike Campbell with George Mihalka. We recorded this in the green room for the Hollywood Theater before the big-screen presentation, with all the restored footage in 4K.

In today's episode, filmmaker Philip Hartman discusses the enduring resonance of NO PICNIC, his gritty 1986 neo-noir drama and priceless artifact of pre-gentrication East Village, with film critic and writer Mark Asch in a conversation recorded at Film Forum specifically for this podcast. A new 4K restoration of NO PICNIC has been playing to sold-out crowds since it opened with us on April 20 of this year. We highly recommend that you read Mark's excellent article about the film at www.hellgatenyc.com. Photo by Chris Grubb.

LGが4K有機EL TVの2026年モデルを発表　映像プロセッサを刷新し120Hz以上の高速表示にも対応。　LGエレクトロニクス・ジャパンは6月9日、4K（3840×2160ピクセル）有機ELパネルを搭載する新型TVを発表した。新製品は6月25日から順次発売する予定で、想定価格は29万～137万円となる。

Your iPhone might be running hot and draining fast — and it’s not just you. Dave and Pilot Pete break down the battery chaos introduced by iOS 26.5, which brought overheating, accelerated drain, and even blocked wired charging on iPhone 17 and Air models. The fix that’s working for most people: disable iCloud Keychain first, run Reset All Settings, then carefully re-enable iCloud sync — otherwise you’ll nuke your Wi-Fi passwords across every device. iOS 26.5.1 is out and should help, but until you’ve updated, your electrons deserve better. You’ll also learn why Apple ID passkeys are locked to Apple’s own keychain with no known path to third-party managers like 1Password or Keeper, and why editing a contact on a modern Mac can somehow peg every CPU core — in 2026, no less. From there, Dave and Pete tackle the full listener mailbag: how to rescue missing contact names from Messages, the right way to boot a MacBook with a broken display into clamshell mode so it actually uses the external monitor, and a deep dive on 5K vs. 4K displays where Dave argues your eyes may not care as much as the pixel-per-inch math suggests. You’ll get smart ideas for repurposing a 2015 iPad Pro that can’t run modern apps — including Dave’s Claude Code-built weather dashboard running off a headless iMac as a web interface. A crashing 2021 MacBook Pro turns out to have been felled by a single bad SD card, and the lesson is golden: feed your crash reports to an LLM and let it do the digging. And Don’t Get Caught with outdated OpenAI macOS apps — update ChatGPT, Codex, Atlas, and Codex CLI before June 12th to stay ahead of a code-signing rotation triggered by a compromised open-source library. 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1145 for Monday, June 8th, 2026 June 8th: National Best Friends Day MGG Monthly Giveaway – Win a license to SaneBox Quick Tips 00:00:01 Dan-QT-Multi-select on iPhone with a quick drag 00:04:31 Tim-QT-Have iOS 26.5 Battery Drain?

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we're escaping into remake hell as Zack Snyder is officially attached to write and direct a new reimagining of John Carpenter's 1981 cult classic Escape From New York. Snake Plissken is back on Hollywood's remake board, and we're asking the obvious question: does this need to happen, or should some movies be left alone?We also talk about the reported retirement of Clint Eastwood, look back at our favorite Eastwood films, react to Euphoria officially ending after Season 3, and discuss the new Birds limited series with Sarah Snook. Plus, we try to help Frylock avoid homelessness.Then it's time for Trailer Trash, Views or Snooze, and Staff Picks, including Cape Fear on Apple TV, The Vampire Lestat on AMC, Alice & Steve on Hulu, and Dustin's pick: the 4K release of Heathers.Welcome back to the Labyrinth.Watch the YouTube Show: https://youtu.be/QS3Lmj33VFQKeep It Canon.(Carey Means Go Fund Me more than tripled their goal so they have concluded it, Good Deal)▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀Hosts: Tim Andrews, Jeff Leiboff, Dustin Lollar and Lizzie Bruce JonesAudio Podcast & YouTube Video Edited by Dustin Lollar ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

What do you think? Should hip hop be any part of stepping? Topics discussed:

I'm super-excited about this week's episode, as I'm getting to talk about one of my favorite zombie movies (Day of the Dead) with one of the creators of that film (John Harrison, the first assistant director and composer of its iconic score) and one of the producers at one of my favorite boutique Blu-ray labels (Jeff Roland from Shout Factory/Scream Factory). We talk all about the making of the film, of course, but also the making of this set: one of my favorite special features on the bonus disc is a 30-minute-or-so doc about the actual restoration of this film. How they tracked down the interpositive, what they had to do to get the transfer into shape for a 4K release, how they had to mix the sound, etc. I really cannot recommend this set enough: it comes out June 16, but I strongly recommend picking up a copy now, as these collector's editions can be hard to keep in stock. Obviously, the fans of Romero's films are going to want it. But I would pitch it to anyone who appreciates a good piece of archival work: There are documentaries on this thing that will simply help you understand the world of physical media better. Plus a fun new audio commentary featuring Drew McWeeny and Daniel Kraus. And, of course, a pristine new transfer that gives extra depth and definition to all of those scenes set in the underground mines where most of the movie takes place.

欢迎收听雪球出品的财经有深度，雪球，国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台，聪明的投资者都在这里。今天分享的内容叫中算力租赁投资指南：怎么系统性地理解这个生意，来自调研爱好者。美股的N B I S最近新高了，无论是产业端还是市场上可看的反馈，租金价格都在飞速上涨，最近我也跟很多投资人交流了，市场上可能普遍还没意识到为什么算力租赁这波这么强，整个行业发生了什么变化。我觉得应该有很多人想过自己的爸爸妈妈当年房地产的机会这么确定，为什么不敢贷款多买点房子，这样自己就财富自由了，但是从算力租赁这边这个行业交流下来的情况看，我觉得当年我们的长辈错过这个机会是非常正常的，因为要做这样的决策，其实需要有非常多的信息支撑，认知支撑，才能有足够的勇气去上杠杆，当年我爸妈也经常说XX亲戚借钱买这么多房子很容易出事之类的，最近因为在这个行业里一直泡着，增加了很多有意思的认知。最近因为市场因素，奇怪的利空传闻和大盘整体，算力租赁整个板块有比较大的调整，我觉得位置已经比较好了，其实可以开始研究到底这个行业的价值在哪。1.现在算力租赁为什么是个好生意5年租约：二零二五年11月之前，算力租赁行业普遍喜欢签一年的合同，核心原因是大厂对A I的下游盈利能力还并不确定，二零二六年2月开始，实际目前看到在谈的合同都已经是5年的长协议，所以现在买一台服务器，到底能赚多少钱是完全可以确定的，相当于买了一套房子租出去，租金已经保证你3至4年可以回本，所以不管房价多少，这都是一个收益率不错的理财产品。超高杠杆：由于目前服务器资产保值属性＋变现能力强+长合同，实际现在金租、银行都很愿意为这类资产放杠杆，目前行业里金租基本可以做到95%，最高的已经有到98%了。意味着你买100亿的资产，只要支付5亿的钱，甚至只要2亿，等于是20至50倍杠杆。那么五年租约+超高杠杆=不会爆仓的超级杠杆资产我们可以用通俗的炒房逻辑，直观看懂当下G P U算力租赁的暴利商业模式。假设以当前730万的现货采购价购置一套算力设备，采用95%的高比例房贷融资模式，个人实际仅需支付36.5万的首付本金。目前市场裸G P U出租的保守月租为14.5万元，叠加I D C组网、电费全包的服务租金最高可达每月22万元，盈利空间十分可观。行业内普遍采用5年折旧、30%残值的核算标准，而实际高端H100显卡5年后仍能保留原价50%至60%的残值，保值率远超常规资产。这套设备每年折旧成本约102.2万元，同时按年度租金收入的2%核算运维费用，每年运维成本仅3.48万元。若将每年174万元的全额租金收入优先用于偿还贷款，扣除运维成本后，每年可获得170.52万元的净租金收益，且随着房贷持续偿还，剩余本金和利息不断递减，后续净利润还会稳步提升。按照这套模式测算，5年房贷还清后，投资人手中可留存45.68万元现金，同时完整持有整套算力设备。参考过往英伟达显卡的保值行情，设备届时仍保有原值60%左右的价值，转手出售可回款438万元，累计回款可达483.67万元。对比初期仅36.5万的本金投入，5年整体收益高达13.25倍。如果采用协创数据当下可拿到的98%极致融资比例，收益倍数更是飙升至32.82倍。这种超高杠杆、稳租金、高保值的模式，也是上一轮炒房暴富的核心逻辑，如今完美复刻在算力赛道。即便放大至千亿规模，投入20亿本金即可撬动1000亿算力资产，在稳租金、无爆仓风险的前提下，5年可拿回近656亿现金。目前协创数据、N B I S等企业正是依靠这套高杠杆算力租赁逻辑快速扩张，业绩与市值双双创下历史新高。2.租金会持续涨价吗？天花板在哪？市场一直比较迷惑一件事儿，其实算力租赁的价格二零二四年底到二零二五年10月，租赁的价格是下跌的，为什么今年涨了这么多，还没见到要回头的趋势呢？很简单的一个道理，客户不是只用来训练了，推理侧赚钱了。今年最火的，渗透率提升的最快的产品就是”小龙虾“，这个产品让推理侧的需求光速崛起，基本每个月Tokens需求都是环比20%以上的增速，而且从实际应用场景看，这甚至还在加速，目前这个产品的渗透率实话说还非常低，还有很大很大的空间。相对来说用别的数据不好判断，我们直接用Tokens的供给和需求来确定这个行业前面发生了什么，以及预测后续会怎么走。供给侧讨论过很多次了，这里台积电的先进制程产能已经是定下来了，至少到二八年之前是不可能提速的。英伟达：G P U出货量就是这么多，Tokens的吞吐量也可以确定，英伟达的推理Tokens输出就是下面的数据，二零二六年差不多101.6P，二零二七年把整体的效率提升算上，382P，二零二八年1,042P。A S I C：供给端第二侧是什么？讨论度很高的A S I C，其实核心就是谷歌定制的T P U，亚马逊的Trainium和微软Maia，以及一些乱七八糟的定制A S I C。这里二零二六年预计能输出差不多41P，二零二七年能输出146P，二零二八年输出286P。国产卡：目前也有人一直在提“韬定律”以后国产卡上来了，算力不缺，我肯定是支持国产卡的，就是从现实的角度咱们来看看，国产卡目前主流就是华为昇腾、平头哥真武、寒武纪、海光、昆仑芯、摩尔、沐曦，现阶段国产在全球算力的占比是非常非常低的，且目前还有性能和优化的问题，在Tokens输出上，相对还是差一些，从实测数据看，到二零二六年国内能输出的Tokens差不多就是8.3P，二零二七年28.5P，二零二八年80.6P，三年提升10倍，应该不算低估吧？那么全球的Tokens供给就是这么多，可能会有一些变化，但半导体产能不能虚空创造，基本上差距不会非常大，那么需求侧呢？目前全球A I比较主力的需求就是四个场景，A I编程、对话&Agent、视频生成和企业级应用，之前其实算过一版，不过数据后来发现有点问题，迭代了一版，这里面重新梳理了一下。A I编程：年算是A I编程的元年，差不多也可以理解是A I推理的元年，这里目前我跟多家互联网大厂的员工沟通确认过，目前整体每人每月消耗量应该在700-900m这个区间，取中值800，目前全球程序员3000万人，估计今年会替代掉30%的需求，那么今年A I编程的需求就是201.6P tokens。后面替代的程序员数量变多，但是消耗量上去，差不多二七年就是720P，二八年是864P。对话和Agent：目前国内日均年初差不多是140万亿，占全球33%，换算过来全球日均差不多是492万亿，一年消耗就是180P，二七年339P，二八年791P。视频生产：目前全球每年上传到互联网的视频总时长是220万小时每天，生成一秒视频需要的算力是对话的几百倍，客观的说主要因为算力受限，今年估计A I视频最终渗透率能有15%就不错了，S D 2.0每分钟视频Tokens消耗要200万tokens，而且现在实际要达到满意的需求是需要抽卡的。此外如果要生成的是高清的4K，或者更高码率的，需要的算力都是指数级增加的。假设明年算力紧缺稍微缓解一些，行业整体渗透率提升到25%，二零二八年提升到30%，二零二六年需要的量是72P，二零二七年是219P，二零二八年是276P。企业级：基本就是各种O A审批流，数据，这里直接对应的是工作中接触的各种行政，财务，这里用的是一个占对话的比例需求，差不多二六年是35.9P，二七年是101.7P，二八年是316.3P。那么全球的供需情况就是去年完全不缺，今年开始出现缺口，这也是为什么二零二五年11月算力租赁才开始涨价，一直到4至5月涨价的速度大幅提升。从整个供需缺口的情况来看，全球算力紧缺会一直持续到二零二八甚至二零三零年都见不到缓解的迹象，后续大概率行业整体价格要持续上涨的。今天谷歌的消息也反映了这一事实，基本现阶段没有哪家公司不是火力全开服务器产能拉满去供应的，但谷歌这样自有T P U的公司依然缺，在目前这个缺口下，未来3年算力租赁的价格涨价持续性是可以预见的，因为这个环节直接产生利润，而不是像过去一样只用于训练了。3.客户到底盈利能力怎么样？他们能接受的租金是多少目前国内算力租赁价格方面，前面已经提了，我们就按17万每月测算一下目前几家大模型公司的盈利能力，以下是我基于公开数据和专家交流梳理的每家大模型厂商的Tokens定价以及他们模型一台8卡服务器的Tokens输出情况，整体会因为参数量大小不同，各家优化的情况不同有一些输出数量的差异（参数量大，专家数激活多，输出的肯定就少），整体来看，现在G P U的利用率就算70%，目前基本各家模型的毛利率都可以达到50%以上，甚至是70%至80%，这个盈利能力也很直观的反应了为什么目前市场上给算力租赁订单的大主力是阿里，智谱这些公司。黄仁勋昨天说的最多的就是“计算就是收入、瓦特就是收入、每一个token都是收入！”，还有Token可以创造10倍的利润，这件事其实从海外大模型厂商的数据也能非常直观的看到，基本这些公司租一台B300的毛利率甚至能达到90%以上，当然北美目前算力租赁的价格也显著比国内的贵，实际毛利可能在85%至90%这个区间。但这里创造10倍的利润这件事肯定是已经被验证，且可以被量化的一件事。所以涨价的上限能到多少？这里客观的说，国内的厂商是有过竞争到负毛利的阶段的，但是海外相对来说不会这么卷，其次他们的人力成本也高，所以我认为整体也不至于到负毛利的程度，目前看至少在阿里、质谱、字节这些公司这里，支付能力还是很强的，他们哪怕30万一个月也是赚钱的，而海外更是高的吓人，目前盈利能力最差的其实是x A I，这也符合x A I他们把服务器直接租给Anthropic的商业事实，整体市场对涨价的接受度非常高（目前产业的实际现状就是到处在涨价到处在抢卡）。4.听起来这么好的生意到底难在哪？其实反复强调了很多次，这里面最核心的壁垒就是拿卡，房子很早期的时候，房价便宜，但是都是要分配的，万元户没渠道，你也买不着。拿地也是一样的标准，谁有能力稳定的拿到土地和房子。那拿卡难在哪，之前一直有人说N C P不稀缺，拿卡能力不稀缺，有钱就可以。我觉得没必要违背常识，用很简单的几个数字就能搞明白，海外目前整台服务器的成本带内存可能430万出头，买到国内，今天的价格就算是730万好了，倒个手就赚300万，如果这么好弄，这些上市公司体系里的N C P，营收利润体现在哪呢？目前反正在报表侧我还没看到。这里逻辑也很简单，这个行业B I S其实很早很早就有了，二零二三年就有，当时国内的这些N C P牌照早就意识到不能用当前主体，实际上公司马甲已经换了一遍了，从支付到物流全链路跑通了，而且由于算力是全球性的紧缺，实际上也不存在什么有人可以拿到新的配额，想买卡，要么有配额，要么找有配额的公司买东阳光、盈峰跟利通电子买卡就是很典型的。目前缺卡涨价是客观事实，但这个更多是供需带来的，货物的流转其实是正常的，这个在昨天的辟谣讨论里面提过了，路径这个很早就设计过，没有哪家公司会因为这个拿不到，昨天东阳光公告的其实也就说明了利通的拿卡渠道是正常通畅的，很多信息建议一定还是要从产业专家那儿验证，不要人云亦云。一个很简单的道理，N B I S的涨幅，其实并不比美光科技涨的少，存储的产业环节只是比服务器更靠前，现在需求起来了，大概率算力价格的持续上涨也会出现。至于还有讨论说算力租赁涨价不是好生意，5年后不缺了的，客观来说，现在市场上所有的紧缺物料，目前有上游客户愿意锁价5年保供的吗？反正算力是可以锁价的，A股的算力租赁说了很多了，后续等待存货，营收，利润来验证吧，实在不行看看N B I L和N B I S呢?

Send us Fan MailWe're back with our eighth installment of the Oh Brother Criterion Collection reviews, and this one is our fourth Coen Brothers entry — the 2001 neo-noir masterpiece, The Man Who Wasn't There, celebrating its 25th anniversary.Billy Bob Thornton plays Ed Crane, a laconic small-town barber who speaks little but observes everything. When he discovers his wife Doris is having an affair with her boss Big Dave, Ed hatches a blackmail scheme to fund an investment in a dry cleaning operation — setting off a chain of events that spirals far beyond his control. It's classic Coen Brothers territory: crime, consequence, absurdity, and a richly drawn moral vacuum at the center of it all.We break down the full cast, including Frances McDormand as Doris, James Gandolfini as Big Dave, a scene-stealing Tony Shalhoub as attorney Freddie Riedenschneider, a very young Scarlett Johansson, and the always reliable John Polito. We also dig into Roger Deakins' stunning black-and-white cinematography — shot in color and reprinted in monochrome — and some of the film's most memorable sequences, including a brilliant tracking shot through an apartment hallway, a hubcap rolling down a hillside, and UFO imagery woven throughout Dennis Gassner's production design.On the Criterion side, we cover the full supplement package: the Coen Brothers' commentary track from 2004, a new 2025 interview with the brothers conducted by Megan Abbott, the Roger Deakins interview, and more. We also share our thoughts on whether the 4K upgrade is worth it if you already own the Blu-ray.The Man Who Wasn't There was a box office non-event in its time — roughly $19 million worldwide — but by any other measure it holds up as a quietly remarkable piece of filmmaking. Worth seeking out if you haven't seen it, and worth revisiting if you have.Support the showOh Brother Podcast:Support the Show!

Kia ora e te whānau. Ian Sharman is a straight-up Legend in the sport of ultramarathon running. A Coach and Athlete hailing from the Golden Age, before 4K cameras in everyone's pockets and when fans had to pass around a pirated copy of Unbreakable, Sharman and his kin were like trail gods, foreshadowing and inspiring the current crop of legends and doing things us regular people could only imagine, and we had to, because it was before the great trailrunning media bubble formed. Starting DCR 8 years ago after growing up in the sport, listening to Shaman on Trail Runner Nation and the like, and having him on the podcast is like a dream come true. The four-time Leadville winner and Grand Slam of Ultra Running record holder joins Ali and Andrew for a long overdue catch-up about life on the trails, his amazing achievements in racing and coaching, and the why behind his new book, The Art of Ultrarunning: Tried & Tested Strategies for Long Distance Runners.Dirt Church Radio—Best Enjoyed Running.--- --- --- Episode Links Ian Sharman InstagramSharman Ultra CoachingThe Art Of Ultrarunning PreorderSign up for the DCR AidStation newsletter.Dirt Church Radio on InstagramDirt Church Radio on FacebookFurther Faster New ZealandEnjoy!Music by Andrew McDowall, Digicake

The fourth Intermission finds the hosts debating film preservation, 4K restorations, AI upscaling, George Lucas's Star Wars revisions, Spielberg's E.T. walkie-talkies, and whether modern transfers are preserving movies or changing them. Plus, Jason completes a year-and-a-half watch-through of the entire Kristy Swanson filmography, Arnie revisits 1995's Mortal Kombat, listener Tom Ross hosts a trivia challenge, and the conversation wanders through Darth Maul, The Boys, Project Hail Mary, and more.

Something a little different, as today we review the recently remastered in 4K from a 35mm original camera negative by Kino Lorber, a boutique Blu-ray distributor. This new edition comes in both 4KUHD (two-disc) and Blu-ray (single disc) and can be purchased at the Kino Lorber website. Along with a new master of the film, each set (either two-disc or single) comes with audio commentary from directorSimon Wincer, a new interview with star Billy Zane, and an interview with film composer David Newman. A trailer is also included. At Chronicle Chamber, we picked up a copy for review. Watch or listen to our video review, and read on for our impressions of the new master, as well as special feature highlights. The New MasterOne of the elements to this film that Simon Wincer frequently comes back to in his audio commentary is the lighting, and it's for good reason. This new edition of The Phantom is beautiful. Compared to previous releases, the color and visuals are crisp, clean, and warm. There was a decision to use natural lighting as opposed to filters during production, and it pays off nicely. In outdoor adventure sequences, the natural lighting makes the action feel real and believable. In closed settings, such as Xander Drax and Diana Palmer's introduction scene early on in the film, a functional, expository sequence feels glamorous and stunning. When Dave Palmer agrees to send his niece, Diana, on a quest during this sequence, this new master captures the warmth and ornate decor of the art deco style of the 1930s. The sound is also markedly better than previous editions, making for an overall enjoyable rewatch that feels closer to what audiences experienced in theaters 30 years ago. The Special FeaturesDirector Simon Wincer's Audio CommentaryAudio commentaries can be hit or miss with many Bluray and 4KUHD releases, even from boutique companies. The Simon Wincer commentary included with this new edition of The Phantom lands right in the middle. It's not necessarily exciting, but it's not the worst commentary either. Wincer does highlight some of the elements and motifs he was going for, and he does spend a great deal of time talking about the use of natural lighting versus filtering. For Phantom fans looking for answers to decisions this adaptation makes, like why Guran was changed into a child helper of The Phantom or why a skeleton strangles a grave robber to death, there aren't any answers here. The quality of the audio commentary, at times, is also suspect. Right off the bat, there's a noticeable audio lag, as if this was recorded over Zoom or some other online meeting software. That's a bit of a disappointment. Billy Zane Interview: “Kismet in the Jungle”Thirty years after the release of the film, Billy Zane is a master craftsman at discussing The Phantom film. Many of the ideas and motifs he touches upon in this new interview have been covered elsewhere in talks at Supanova Con and other interviews. Zane highlights his love of the character stemming from collecting Frew Comics on visits to Australia and notes that, in his performance, he was trying to embody the classic adventure films of classic Hollywood from the likes of Douglas Fairbanks, Errol Flynn, John Wayne, and others. This interview has the highest production values to it, and for fans looking to see Zane wax poetic about all things The Phantom, it's a good interview. David Newman Interview: “Slam Evil: Scoring The Phantom”David Newman is a phenomenal composer,  and to see him among the interviews included in this new release is something out of a dream for a huge fan of film scores (such as myself). This interview was conducted over Zoom or some other type of online meeting software, so the production value is a stark difference compared to Zane's interview. For film score enthusiasts, the soundtrack to The Phantom is a hidden gem. It's fast, rhythmic, complicated, and powerful. For Newman, putting this score together was mostly done on instinct and was something akin to a nightmare, which is unfortunate to learn. In the interview, Newman states that scoring The Phantom was a last-minute rush job that compiled hours and hours of work over a very short period, often with little to no sleep. While Newman doesn't have great memories of working on The Phantom, it's the film in his IMDB that he worked the hardest on. For those looking to learn a little about what's buried in the beat and rhythm of the soundtrack, Newman speaks to this. For Those Who Came In Late… What's the verdict?For Phantom “phans” who want to revisit this adaptation or film fans looking to tap into a little 90s nostalgia, this new master is absolutely stunning and the best version of The Phantom commercially available. For collectors who love to dive deep into special features and bonus content included in boutique collections like these, it's a bit of a miss. Apart from the Billy Zane interview, the other two special features feel hastily compiled to pad the set, and it's not worth the spend if you're primarily looking to learn more about the production and behind-the-scenes of The Phantom. Verdict: Buy it for the film, not the special features. Support the show

This week in Vegas history: June 4, 2020, Nevada casinos reopened after the COVID-19 shutdown.   After more than two months closed, casinos across Las Vegas began reopening, including properties on the Strip, downtown, and around the valley. The D and Golden Gate reopened at 12:01 a.m., while other properties followed later that day.  NEWS:   Fertitta Entertainment is buying Caesars Entertainment in a deal valued at $17.6 billion, including about $11.9 billion in assumed debt. The deal would take Caesars private. Shareholders would receive $31 per share, which Reuters describes as nearly a 50% premium to Caesars' stock price before the deal was first reported in February. Tilman Fertitta's company already owns Golden Nugget casinos, the Houston Rockets, and a large restaurant/hospitality portfolio, including brands like Rainforest Café and Bubba Gump Shrimp. Caesars has been under pressure from softer Las Vegas visitation and growing competition in online betting, where rivals like FanDuel and DraftKings are stronger. Caesars' current leadership is expected to stay, including CEO Tom Reeg and CFO Bret Yunker. The deal includes a “go-shop” period through July 11, meaning Caesars can still consider competing offers. If completed, the acquisition would give Fertitta a much larger casino footprint: Caesars controls more than 50 casinos across North America, including Caesars Palace, Harrah's, and Eldorado, plus retail and online sports betting. The article notes the deal could face regulatory scrutiny because of the size and scope of the combined gaming/hospitality business. Vital Vegas reports that a private grand opening party for the newly rebranded Vanderpump Hotel will be held on June 11.   The Heart Attack Grill closed abruptly on May 18. The property posted a passive aggressive rant on their door, stating that the closure was due to casinos pricing out average Americans.   EDC goes to two weekends next year The plan was billed as a way to reduce crowds by spreading them out over two weekends, lol The first of those weekends, “EDC Dusk,” will roll out from May 14-16. The second, “EDC Dawn,” is set for May 21-23, while the full “Dusk Till Dawn Experience” will party from May 13-24.    Johnny Kats is reporting that a new magic-based show “Now You See Me Live” will be moving into the David Copperfield theater at MGM Grand.   Soul Belly BBQ, has opened a new location in the Miracle Mile shops.   New Mirage bar at MGM Grand pool. A user on reddit posted photos of signs at the MGM Grand pool area, directing patrons to a new “Mirage Bar,” complete with the former strip property's iconic palm trees logo.  A look at the pool complex map on the MGM Grand website confirms the change. The site was formerly called the “Splash Bar” and is located between the “Splash Pool” and “Reserve Pool.” MGM Resorts has retained the rights to the Mirage name after selling the Mirage resort site to Hard Rock International.   Tailgate Social, Mandalay Bay's answer to Stadium Swim at Circa downtown, officially opened on May 16. Snoop Dogg performed at the opening The 50,000-square-foot venue features more than 125 feet of LED screens, three heated pools, 25 luxury cabanas, and two premium bungalows    The Clark County commission will be voting to extend the annual Las Vegas Grand Prix, potentially through 2037.   Nellie's Southern Kitchen Closing: The Jonas family restaurant near MGM Grand closed after May 25 service, reducing Southern comfort food options on the Strip.    Drink Las Vegas, a culinary and cocktail festival, will run from Sept. 24 through 27 at four MGM Resorts properties: Aria, Bellagio, The Cosmopolitan, Park MGM. “Drink Las Vegas” will incorporate an opening party, panels and seminars, food and cocktail tastings, lunches, dinners and other experiences at more than 30 venues inside the properties. The event recently announced the chefs, restaurateurs, mixologists, sommeliers and other hospitality professionals who are participating.    Virgin Hotels Las Vegas is reporting its strongest casino performance since reopening in 2021. The property has adjusted its focus to Las Vegas residents first-quarter 2026 data showed slot revenue up nearly 30 percent, coin-in up 10 percent, and table games revenue up 88 percent compared to the same period in 2025.    Tony: Vital Vegas reports the Luxor is getting a new atrium light show. No word on when the show will debut.   The Vegas Golden Knights swept the Colorado Avalanche in round 3 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs This is the third time the team has become the Western Conference champions in their 9-year history Though the Eastern Conference champions are still undecided at the time of recording, it's likely that the Golden Knights will face the Carolina Hurricanes in their bid for another Stanley Cup win.    Oceans 11 returning to theaters Ocean's Eleven is returning to theaters nationwide on June 21 and June 24, 2026, for a special 25th-anniversary re-release as part of Fathom Entertainment's Big Screen Classics series.

Then Andy hits them with a surprise clip that instantly turns into one of the funniest moments of the season: Adam's ongoing battle with curbs… and the now-legendary golf cart incident.They also end the episode with some real-life marriage talk in the middle of the laughs: Ashlee admits she's been feeling a little more “needy” lately (her words), and Adam gives a practical take on why that shift might be happening.

Jubilee Media founder and CEO Jason Y Lee joins Next in Media to break down how the digital-first studio builds scalable, format-driven IP that captures Gen Z's massive attention span without relying on a single face. Discover the monetization strategies behind their unscripted content, why creators are turning down Hollywood, and how authentic human conversation is outperforming AI in the modern creator economy. Key Takeaways: The Creator Economy Flip: Top digital creators no longer view Hollywood as the ultimate graduation point, reversing the media power dynamic as traditional studios now seek out digital-first strategies to survive. The Attention Span Myth: Massive engagement metrics on 90-minute videos prove that younger audiences aren't suffering from short attention spans; they are simply starving for unscripted, long-form authenticity. Format Over Face: Designing repeatable, host-agnostic IP rather than relying on a single charismatic personality eliminates key-person risk and unlocks true operational scalability for digital studios. Contextual Brand Storytelling: The next frontier of monetization rejects one-off, disruptive advertisements in favor of naturally embedding brands into existing, high-performing video franchises. The Anti-Echo Chamber Demand: Algorithms have hyper-fragmented public discourse, creating a massive, untapped market of viewers who actively seek out raw, multi-perspective content to escape their own echo chambers. The TV Screen Takeover: Digital-first production must now default to cinema-grade standards like 4K, as YouTube's massive growth on connected televisions blends the boundary between streaming networks and independent creators. The Human Premium in an AI Era: As artificial intelligence commoditizes automated content creation, media companies that double down on raw, real-life human connection will hold the ultimate competitive advantage. IP Upcycling and Windowing: Legacy distribution strategies like FAST channels and AVOD licensing represent the most lucrative secondary revenue streams for creators sitting on deep libraries of episodic content.

From giant worms and killer spiders to mischievous Gremlins and underground mutants, they revisit the movies that terrified and delighted an entire generation. Creature features, killer critters, giant worms, Gremlins, and underground monsters.  This week Jay and Shua celebrate the gloriously weird movies that made Saturday afternoons unforgettable! Plus, Jay says goodbye to Sci-Fi Saturdays, and much more on a brand new episode of Enjoy Stuff!   News "Dare to Be Stupid," a new Broadway musical inspired by Weird Al Yankovic, is officially in development with writers from Beetlejuice and Gutenberg!

Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Shua has been watching The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, the new comedy starring Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe. The mockumentary-style series follows a disgraced former football star trying to rebuild his life while an overly enthusiastic filmmaker documents every ridiculous moment. Shua loved the absurd humor, awkward situations, and strong chemistry between the leads. Jay revisited The Birds and was reminded why it remains one of the greatest suspense films ever made. Beyond the iconic bird attacks, Jay discusses Hitchcock's masterful tension-building, unsettling atmosphere, and why the movie still feels effective decades later. After their Hitchcock episode a few weeks ago, it felt like the perfect time for a rewatch.     Sci-Fi Saturdays -  This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay spotlights his final Sci-Fi Saturdays column covering Tenet by Christopher Nolan. In the article, Jay explores how Nolan uses time inversion, reverse motion, and innovative editing techniques to create an entirely new cinematic language that challenges audiences while still delivering blockbuster spectacle.   Jay also reflects on the incredible run of Sci-Fi Saturdays itself: seven and a half years, 330 articles, and films spanning from 1950 through 2020. Beginning with Rocketship X-M and ending with Tenet, the series celebrated over seven decades of science fiction cinema while examining how the genre reflects humanity, technology, and society.    Jay also highlights his latest MCU Location Scout featuring Daredevil: Born Again and Punisher: One Last Kill.

From alien furballs and killer fish to giant worms and demonic little creatures, Jay and Shua revisit the films that introduced many young viewers to horror without completely traumatizing them…well, mostly.   Along the way they discuss why the 1980s and early 1990s became the golden age for lighter horror movies, the importance of practical creature effects, and why these films still remain endlessly rewatchable today. Whether it's giant spiders, Gremlins causing chaos, or mysterious monsters lurking underground, the episode celebrates the fun side of fear and the unforgettable creature classics that still make audiences smile, scream, and laugh all at once.   Which creature are you afraid of?
