Review: Resident Evil is the fresh take this flagging franchise really needed
I was on the fence about going to see the latest Resident Evil reboot to review, given how uninspired the prior reboot attempt in 2021 turned out to be. But director Zach Cregger gave us last year's phenomenal Weapons, and early word of mouth was extremely positive, so I took a chance. I'm glad I did, because the film is terrific. Cregger's distinctive sensibility is just what the flagging franchise needed: a truly fresh take on a well-trodden fictional world that blends horror, humor, and some pretty over-the-top gore in just the right ratios.

Experimental evidence of generalization in quantum machine learning in small-data regime
Quantum machine learning is a promising paradigm for learning from limited data, a central bottleneck in domains such as medical imaging, clinical trials, and rare diseases. Quantum convolutional neural networks (QCNNs) are particularly attractive in this setting, combining a hierarchical architecture with strong inductive bias and a parameter count that grows only logarithmically with system size. Their appeal rests on the generalization bounds of Caro et al. (2022), which show that the general

Dyson’s most overengineered gadget may have a waterproofing problem
There's always a danger in over-complicating products. Simple is so often best. The apocryphal story of NASA spending millions crafting a space pen while Soviet cosmonauts used a pencil is often cited as a prime example, even if it's actually not true. Perhaps it's not surprising that Dyson has got into hot water trying to reinvent the electric toothbrush. The Chinese invented the first bristle toothbrush during the Ming dynasty. That concept muddled along quite nicely until 1937, when Tomlinson Moseley filed a patent for the earliest electric toothbrush.

Towards Accurate Prediction of Mutation-Induced Changes in Protein Structure

Today, the company announced a radical restructuring of its internal studios that is seemingly designed to reduce that "independence" for the teams behind some of gaming's biggest franchises.
