Imbuidos por el espíritu gótico de una fábula con hada buena, la vendedora de cosméticos interpretada por Dianne Wiest, la vecina ninfómana, bruja traicionera, y Edward Johnny Depp-, una criatura extraordinaria, dotada de bondad, talento, y maldita por una deformación congénita en forma de tijeras metálicas. Eduardo quiere abrazar a los demás y no puede porque los lastima. Sobre todo quiere abrazar a la cheerleader -Wynona Ryder- la hija de la familia que la acoge en esa urbanización tan coqueta y mediocre. El responsable de su génesis es un extravagante confitero -Vincent Price en su última aparición-. Las tijeras eran sus manos originales. las utilizaba para cortar las galletas en forma de corazón, Edward era uno de los robots utilizados en la línea de montaje. A este tipo de creador solitario volverá Burton con el Willie Wonka de Charlie y la Fábrica de Chocolate. El universo artificioso nos alucina, en un pueblo con casas de colorines y coches que salen a trabajar en sinfonía cromática y al lado el caserón gótico de escaleras orgánicas y la criatura en soledad nos mira a través de un ventanal. El mimo incomprendido nos recuerda a Buster Keaton, apenas musita unas pocas frases, sí hace otras cosas prácticas para ese atajo de amas de casa andarinas y maridos currantes, peina a sus perros con estilismos de alta escuela, después las peina a ellas, e incluso trincha pimientos en la barbacoa del domingo. La amenaza de unas cuchillas que pueden amputarte un brazo en cuestión de segundos si él quisiera, este Frankenstein con ropajes de cuero carece de manos y sin embargo tiene un gran corazón. Johnny Depp lloró al leer el guion y lo dio todo. Le vemos al principio más solo que la una en su castillo y cierra igual, con sus pelos de Robert Smith cincelando muñecos de nieve en Navidad. Esta noche intentamos disimular las cicatrices de Edward con ungüentos baratos… Zacarías Cotán, Salvador Limón, Raúl Gallego y Chari Medina.

Peter Falk y Gena Rowlands son marido y mujer en este film magistral. Verdaderamente ambos se quieren, y así es, a pesar de todo. Cassavetes mismo dijo que esta película iba sobre el precio que hay que pagar por mantener una relación. Es agotador observar la relación de los dos, que se entienden bien según el momento, Mabel, en una de las secuencias más recordadas, con el psiquiatra familiar en casa presto a banderillear a la paciente con la dosis necesaria. Ella mira a su marido, se querrán hasta la muerte, nadie del exterior debe interponerse en su amor recíproco, él asiente, y entonces entra la suegra en escena, gritando como una posesa, a esta mujer hay que llevársela, tiene a sus hijos abandonados. Toda esta dantesca situación es mostrada por Cassavetes y su cámara Al Ruban con agilidad y ansiedad, la cámara, inestable, se mueve de izquierda a derecha, de pronto los niños suben corriendo la escalera y el hombre en bata mira hacia arriba con la cara descompuesta, los gritos, los golpes y la desesperación dentro de cuatro paredes. Algún crítico afirmó que esta es la película de amor más profunda, y es curioso que no hay sentimentalismo ninguno, sin trampa ni cartón, Cassavetes despoja de dramatismos superfluos lo que cuenta, monta fragmentos de vida, retazos y flashes fugaces de una familiar peculiar. Enorme está Gena Rowlands dando veracidad con sus gestos, sus carreras, a esa mujer trastornada que desvaría, que se comporta de manera excéntrica, y aun así nos ponemos de su parte. Los hijos la quieren, el marido también, en su trabajo le dice al compañero que su mujer es una lunática, pero no está loca, y al momento le asegura que no sabe de lo que es capaz, que no la puede dejar sola. Rowlands, esposa del director en la vida real, actriz en “Faces”, “Gloria”, o “Noche de estreno” entre otras. Nick, el marido, tampoco está muy normal, una vez ingresan a su esposa en el psiquiátrico, mediante una elipsis, no vemos ni un instante del tratamiento ni de su estancia allí. El padre se lleva a sus hijos a pasar un día en la playa, corre tras ellos como un condenado a trabajos forzados, sin su mujer su existencia es un sinvivir, y a la vuelta emborracha con cerveza a los críos. Esta noche comemos spaghetti con Nick y su mujer… Zacarías Cotán, Salvador Limón y Raúl Gallego

Darrell Fletcher, Managing Director of Commodities at Bannockburn Capital Markets, joins us to unpack key insights from LME Week, the ripple effects of backwardation across metals, and how he's positioning clients amid a “healthy” precious-metals correction and a mixed energy tape. Key Discussion Points LME Week sentiment: Big crowds and a notably upbeat tone for base metals; consensus poll favored copper #1, aluminum #2, tin #3 for upside potential. Backwardation watch: Recent spikes in silver and zinc (cash > 3-month) point to near-term physical tightness; copper's curve flattening with hints of front-end firmness. Precious metals reset: Gold down ~8% from highs and silver off ~10% in a sharp but “healthy” bull-market shakeout; year-to-date gains remain substantial. Base metals leadership: Copper acting as bellwether; aluminum and zinc following; tin up ~23% YTD - underinvestment and broad asset inflation cited as tailwinds. Energy check-in: Crude bounced on Russian sanctions headlines but remains range-to-lower on surplus outlook; U.S. natgas swings driven by front-month positioning and weather. Data gap risk: Four weeks without COT reports adds uncertainty to quant/models - potentially tempers risk-taking in WTI and Henry Hub.

This week's Weekend Show dives into the blistering rallies across gold and silver. First, Richard “Doc” Postma lays out why he still thinks we're in the early innings of a secular bull despite extreme readings on the charts. Then Jeff Christian explains the mechanics behind silver's breakout - what's real, what's hype, and what it means for investors as speculative flows collide with shifting macro risks. Segment 1 & 2 - Richard Postma, a.k.a. “Doc,” a longtime technical analyst and market commentator, who shares why he believes the gold and silver bull market is still in its early innings - highlighting record highs, strong technical momentum, supply deficits, and undervalued producers - while also noting his portfolio strategy across miners and his growing interest in oil and gas opportunities. Segment 3 and 4 - Jeff Christian, Managing Partner at CPM Group, explains that the sharp rallies in silver (back over $50) and gold (near $4,300) are being driven primarily by speculative/momentum buying amid rising political risks - rather than a “silver squeeze” - with temporary London tightness and a reversed NY-London arbitrage contributing at the margins. He adds that central-bank buying has cooled, CoT positioning isn't extreme, refineries are backed up converting investor bars, and while prices look overheated short term, longer-term support comes from a fraught global political and economic backdrop.

Voor jou op je beeldscherm staat een nieuwe aflevering van Gamekings Daily te pronken. In deze gaming vodcast nemen twee hosts van Gamekings het laatste nieuws uit de wereld die videogames heet, met je door. Vanzelfsprekend vergezeld van een duidelijk mening. Van saaie shit wordt immers niemand blij. Boris is vandaag bij JJ aangeschoven om te praten over een aantal onderwerpen. Zo is de grote man achter de Assassin's Creed delen van de afgelopen 20 jaar opgestapt bij Ubisoft. Ondanks dat Guillemot hem wilde behouden. Wat is daar aan de hand en welke gevolgen gaat dit hebben voor de beroemde en succesvolle franchise van de Fransen? Game Freak is gehackt en niet zo'n beetje ook. En de maker van Battlefield noemt EA een groep enorme sukkels. Wat is daar aan de hand? Je ziet en hoort het in de Gamekings Daily van woensdag 15 oktober 2025.Grote man achter Assassin's Creed-serie stapt uit eigen beweging opMarc-Alexis Coté was de afgelopen twintig jaar een grote man als het ging om de Assassin's Creed-franchise. De laatste jaren mocht hij zich zelfs de baas van de serie noemen. Coté heeft besloten om op te stappen. Een week nadat Ubisoft aangaf dat de komende delen van Assassin's Creed door de nieuwe Vantage Studio gemaakt gaat worden. Hij kon daar ook als leidinggevende aan de slag, maar wees dat af. Boris en JJ doken in het verhaal.Maker Battlefield 6 maakt EA uit voor sukkelsBattlefield 6 is net uit en de game draait letterlijk en figuurlijk als een tierelier. In deze aflevering wat nieuws over nieuwe cijfers, de eerste exploits door treurige gamers (of zijn het juist vindingrijke gamers) en het verregaande realisme. Plus de opmerkelijke uitspraak van de grote man achter Battlefield 6, Vince Zampella, over zijn werkgever EA. Dat zijn namelijk enorme sukkels.
Intro LLMs being trained with RLVR (Reinforcement Learning from Verifiable Rewards) start off with a 'chain-of-thought' (CoT) in whatever language the LLM was originally trained on. But after a long period of training, the CoT sometimes starts to look very weird; to resemble no human language; or even to grow completely unintelligible. Why might this happen? I've seen a lot of speculation about why. But a lot of this speculation narrows too quickly, to just one or two hypotheses. My intent is also to speculate, but more broadly. Specifically, I want to outline six nonexclusive possible causes for the weird tokens: new better language, spandrels, context refresh, deliberate obfuscation, natural drift, and conflicting shards. And I also wish to extremely roughly outline ideas for experiments and evidence that could help us distinguish these causes. I'm sure I'm not enumerating the full space of [...] ---Outline:(00:11) Intro(01:34) 1. New Better Language(04:06) 2. Spandrels(06:42) 3. Context Refresh(10:48) 4. Deliberate Obfuscation(12:36) 5.

La sombra de la guerra de Secesión y la fiebre amarilla se ciernen sobre los personajes de “Jezabel”, el melodrama de William Wyler precedente de la superproducción de la MGM “Lo que el viento se llevó”. Aquí tenemos a Julie (Bette Davis), una jovencita del sur, caprichosa y manipuladora, tanto como Escarlata O¨Hara. En torno a Bette Davis gravitan todos los personajes y objetos del film, los esclavos negros de igual forma parecen vivir felices en su situación, con niños graciosos y el tío Cato, el mayordomo que brinda por el matrimonio del caballero sureño en la cocina para que nadie le vea. Julie, la Davis, resplandece con su vestido rojo en un vals de mujeres de blanco, una mujer adelantada a su época, vanidosa y terca, expresa la ira, la emoción, la pasión y la depresión en esos primeros planos que su ferviente admirador Wyler le dedica. Preston -Henry Fonda- la quiere, aunque es de la misma tierra de pantanos y tradiciones, simboliza los valores de la modernidad, los aires que soplan desde el norte y así se enfrenta en las reuniones con los inmovilistas patrones, los que no ven con buenos ojos que el ferrocarril haga la competencia al comercio marítimo del Mississippi. El hombre del sur es George Brent, el otro pretendiente, con unas convicciones puras, sin diluir, él no diluye el Bourbon con agua en el gran Salón de San Luis, rodeado de hombres de honor, aterrados por la plaga. Wyler nos cuenta esta obra de Owen Davis con movimientos de cámara seguros, con gráciles travellings y barridos por las calles de Nueva Orleans y sus suntuosas mansiones, en las escaleras que en “La loba” también tenían protagonismo, y en la recordada escena del vals, en ese salón todas las miradas de indignación se posan en la joven rebelde y atormentada de sí misma, hasta el punto que su tía (Fay Bainter) la compara con Jezabel, la orgullosa y manipuladora reina bíblica de Israel. Esta noche giramos la cabeza para contemplar a la joven del vestido rojo... Zacarías Cotán, Raúl Gallego, Salvador Limón, David Velázquez y José Miguel Moreno.
Comenzamos con el sonido de uno de los más raigales conjuntos soneros cubanos. Desde septiembre de 1956, fundado por el percusionista Ricardo Ferro, el Conjunto Rumbavana comenzó a matizar el ambiente musical de la Isla unificando los estilos de Arsenio, Casino y Chappotin. Con sus cantantes Orestes Macías, Guido Soto y Juanito Bermúdez escogemos algunas de sus grabaciones para la etiqueta independiente Duarte. Buen recuerdo para René Álvarez, uno de nuestros grandes soneros. En tres tiempos lo recordamos como vocalista de la orquesta "Melodías del 40" junto a José Herrera, con el Conjunto Chappotin sustituyendo a Miguelito Cuní, y con su Conjunto "Los Astros". Históricas ediciones discograficas de las etiquetas "Puchito" y RCA Víctor. Unos minutos para regresar al catálogo Puchito del año 1955 y repasar las primeras grabaciones del formidable grupo "Guaguancó Matancero" bajo la conducción de Florencio Calle y las míticas voces de Saldiguera, Juan y Virula. Seguidamente un clásico de la música popular cubana. La guaracha "Viejo verde" del binomio autoral Jesús Díaz y Agustín Ribot, a finales de 1944 unia por primera vez en discos RCA Víctor a la trilogía vocal del Conjunto Casino completada por Roberto Faz, Roberto Espí y Nelo Sosa. Más de tres décadas después la encontramos en el vasto repertorio sonero cubano absorbido por la corriente de la llamada "salsa" a la manera de Pellín Rodríguez y Andy Montañez con el "Gran Combo de Puerto Rico". El 10 de octubre de 1922 marcó oficialmente el nacimiento de la era radiofónica cubana. Con las primeras emisiones de la PWX de la Cuban Telephone Company la música en directo se abrió un espacio importante. Los trovadores cubrieron una era dorada que hoy nos recuerdan María Teresa Vera y Lorenzo Hierrezuelo; Berto González con su guitarra y el tenor Guarionex Garay con la guitarras de Guyún y Octavio Sánchez "Cotán". Despide el programa Miguelito Valdés. Valiosas grabaciones efectuadas a comienzos de la década del 70 en Perú, demostrando el arte inmenso de una de las voces más altas de la música popular cubana de todos los tiempos.

Cybercrime is predicted to drain the world of $10.5 trillion annually by 2025, making it one of the greatest threats to modern business.Shikhil Sharma, co-founder & CEO of Astra Security, is building one of today's most trusted pentesting platforms. Just last year, Astra uncovered over 2 million vulnerabilities across customer systems, preventing more than $69 million in potential lossesShikhil shares why Astra was built as a product- and marketing-first company, how storytelling helped the brand connect with people by clearly showing its purpose and expertise and how founder–investor relationships are built on conviction and trust. He breaks down why pricing transparency is no longer optional for B2B companies and how trust is emerging as the true currency of go-to-market. We discuss what it takes to build a SaaS company in today's AI-first world, from raising leaner rounds and running with smaller teams to creating products that customers love from day zero. Beyond the playbooks, this is a conversation about building durable companies and the mindset that drives Shikhil as a founder: success isn't bought, it's rented, and the rent is due every day.0:00 — Trailer0:56 — Early college days that led to a startup5:00 — AI could cut startup costs and team size by 80%8:43 — Why seed rounds should be under $500K11:45 — Marketing can beat sales in early-stage SaaS16:07 — Is Google search under threat from consumer AI?20:23 — Why B2B startups must display pricing transparently25:41 — What VCs lend founders beyond capital?28:36 — How 42 CIOs backed Atomicwork30:58 — Replace GTM with COT- currency of trust33:34 — Why 20-year SaaS playbooks no longer works35:37 — How AI is changing cybersecurity41:38 — How the founders first met in college46:33 — Are “hard startups” actually easier to build?51:50 — Neon X Astra Security-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Je suis tombée sur Chloé, un jour sur Instagram, et j'ai tout de suite accroché avec son univers et celui de son podcast Cloclo Club.Depuis bientôt 8 ans, elle alimente ce podcast hybride : tantôt conversations profondes avec des créatives aux parcours multiples, tantôt réflexions personnelles sur le syndrome de l'imposteur, la page blanche, la politisation de la création, la légitimité à créer...Mais derrière ses couleurs pastel et son ton chaleureux, le Cloclo Club est un vrai laboratoire pour Chloé. Un terrain d'expérimentation pour repenser ce qu'est un podcast pro, développer une esthétique personnelle, monétiser sans se trahir… et assumer pleinement une ambition artistique.Coté pro, Chloé est communication & content manager, et vient de se lancer à son compte. C'est très interressant de voir comment elle met ses compétences au service de la communication de son podcast, et démontre encore une fois sa créativité. Aviez vous imaginé que entendre un jour du Reaggeton sur Antipop ? Vous comprendrez en écoutant l'épisode !Et dans cet épisode, Chloé raconte :→ pourquoi elle a choisi de se réapproprier les mots "créative" et "créativité"→ comment elle a fait évoluer son identité visuelle (et pourquoi c'est politique),→ ce qui l'a poussée à lancer un Patreon,→ comment elle transforme aujourd'hui son podcast en vitrine pro de ses compétences,→ et en filigrane, tout ce que ça implique de s'exposer — pour de vrai.Un épisode à écouter si tu veux :→ assumer l'ambition pro de ton podcast,→ transformer ton univers personnel en marque cohérente,→ ou faire évoluer ton projet sans te perdre dans les injonctions.Chloé partage tout ça avec une vraie lucidité et une bonne dose d'autodérision. Son Cloclo Club est une invitation à ne pas choisir entre fond et forme, pro et perso, podcast, écriture et dessin. Et c'est précisément ce qui en fait un projet unique.Tu me diras ce que ça t'a donné envie d'oser, toi ?PS : Je vous préviens, cet épisode est sponsorisé par Rumex...---

Il est question des éliminatoires du Mondial 2026 : La 8è journée dans la zone Afrique ; - Chocs en perspective : poule B : sommet demain au Stade des Martyrs entre la RDC et le Sénégal ; - Équipe de France, Doué et Dembélé ont donc quitté leurs partenaires à l'issue de la rencontre contre l'Ukraine en Pologne vendredi soir. - La 8è journée dans la zone Afrique. Dans le groupe E, le Maroc décroche son ticket pour les États-Unis. Les Rouge et Vert ont passé 5 buts au Niger à Rabat, le Mena réduit 10 dès la 26e minute. La sélection de Regragui a remporté toutes ses rencontres. - Les Aigles de Carthage rejoignent les Marocains après leur succès sur le fil à Malabo face au Nzalang Nacional. - Chocs en perspective : poule B : sommet demain au Stade des Martyrs entre la RDC et le Sénégal. 2 nations au coude-à-coude, qui ont remporté leurs duels de la 7e journée, respectivement face au Soudan du Sud à Juba, et au Soudan à Diamniadio. Sadio Mané plutôt discret face aux Crocodiles du Nil, s'est-il préservé pour la rencontre face aux Léopards ? Coté congolais, on compte sur la forme de Cédric Bakambu, la jeunesse de Nathanaël Mbuku, et l'efficacité de Yoane Wissa, une des recrues phares de Newcastle au mercato. Au coude-à-coude également, Cap-Verdiens et Camerounais dans le groupe D.

La rechute de « Dembouze », l'un des éléments les plus en vue du PSG était-elle évitable ? Une nouvelle blessure qui relance les questions sur la gestion du physique du joueur. Simple coup d'arrêt ? Ou l'Ébroïcien est-il rattrapé par ses vieux démons ? Autour d'Hugo Moissonnier : Salim Baungally, Yoro Mangara et Ludovic Duchesne. Technique/réalisation Laurent Salerno -- Pierre Guérin.

Craig Hemke, founder and editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to break down the recent volatility in precious metals following last week's gold tariff headlines - and the immediate backtrack. While daily swings grab headlines, Craig points out that gold remains in a strong long-term uptrend, recently posting its highest weekly close ever above $3,400. We discuss: Why gold's fundamentals remain bullish despite short-term noise and political headlines. The standout performance of gold and silver mining stocks, with GDX hitting highs not seen since 2011. How recent earnings reports reveal producers are far more profitable than many investors expected. Silver's breakout above $37–$38, its best levels in over a decade, and what it means for margins in Q3. The macro backdrop - weak economic data, Fed policy expectations, and the impact on the US dollar and metals prices. Craig also shares insights on positioning from the CoT reports, the potential for further upside in both metals, and why institutional sentiment could be shifting in favor of gold and silver producers.

Explains language models (LLMs) advancements. Scaling laws - the relationships among model size, data size, and compute - and how emergent abilities such as in-context learning, multi-step reasoning, and instruction following arise once certain scaling thresholds are crossed. The evolution of the transformer architecture with Mixture of Experts (MoE), describes the three-phase training process culminating in Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) for model alignment, and explores advanced reasoning techniques such as chain-of-thought prompting which significantly improve complex task performance.

Scaling Laws: Empirical research revealed that LLM performance improves predictably as model size (parameters), data size (training tokens), and compute are increased together, with diminishing returns if only one variable is scaled disproportionately. The "Chinchilla scaling law" (DeepMind, 2022) established the optimal model/data/compute ratio for efficient model performance: earlier large models like GPT-3 were undertrained relative to their size, whereas right-sized models with more training data (e.g., Chinchilla, LLaMA series) proved more compute and inference efficient. Emergent Abilities in LLMs Emergence: When trained beyond a certain scale, LLMs display abilities not present in smaller models, including: In-Context Learning (ICL): Performing new tasks based solely on prompt examples at inference time. Instruction Following: Executing natural language tasks not seen during training. Multi-Step Reasoning & Chain of Thought (CoT): Solving arithmetic, logic, or symbolic reasoning by generating intermediate reasoning steps. Discontinuity & Debate: These abilities appear abruptly in larger models, though recent research suggests that this could result from non-linearities in evaluation metrics rather than innate model properties. Architectural Evolutions: Mixture of Experts (MoE) MoE Layers: Modern LLMs often replace standard feed-forward layers with MoE structures. Composed of many independent "expert" networks specializing in different subdomains or latent structures. A gating network routes tokens to the most relevant experts per input, activating only a subset of parameters—this is called "sparse activation." Enables much larger overall models without proportional increases in compute per inference, but requires the entire model in memory and introduces new challenges like load balancing and communication overhead. Specialization & Efficiency: Experts learn different data/knowledge types, boosting model specialization and throughput, though care is needed to avoid overfitting and underutilization of specialists. The Three-Phase Training Process 1. Unsupervised Pre-Training: Next-token prediction on massive datasets—builds a foundation model capturing general language patterns. 2. Supervised Fine Tuning (SFT): Training on labeled prompt-response pairs to teach the model how to perform specific tasks (e.g., question answering, summarization, code generation). Overfitting and "catastrophic forgetting" are risks if not carefully managed. 3. Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF): Collects human preference data by generating multiple responses to prompts and then having annotators rank them. Builds a reward model (often PPO) based on these rankings, then updates the LLM to maximize alignment with human preferences (helpfulness, harmlessness, truthfulness). Introduces complexity and risk of reward hacking (specification gaming), where the model may exploit the reward system in unanticipated ways. Advanced Reasoning Techniques Prompt Engineering: The art/science of crafting prompts that elicit better model responses, shown to dramatically affect model output quality. Chain of Thought (CoT) Prompting: Guides models to elaborate step-by-step reasoning before arriving at final answers—demonstrably improves results on complex tasks. Variants include zero-shot CoT ("let's think step by step"), few-shot CoT with worked examples, self-consistency (voting among multiple reasoning chains), and Tree of Thought (explores multiple reasoning branches in parallel). Automated Reasoning Optimization: Frontier models selectively apply these advanced reasoning techniques, balancing compute costs with gains in accuracy and transparency. Optimization for Training and Inference Tradeoffs: The optimal balance between model size, data, and compute is determined not only for pretraining but also for inference efficiency, as lifetime inference costs may exceed initial training costs. Current Trends: Efficient scaling, model specialization (MoE), careful fine-tuning, RLHF alignment, and automated reasoning techniques define state-of-the-art LLM development.
