Cop30 host sets out steps to break link with coal, oil and gas as it aims to move focus from negotiating to implementing
All countries can start to break their dependence on fossil fuels now without needing to wait for new technologies or economic changes, Brazil’s government has said ahead of a global climate summit.
Brazil, the host of last year’s UN climate conference, set out the world’s first global “roadmap” for phasing out fossil fuels on Tuesday, showing that countries could boost their economies and pull people out of poverty while breaking the link with coal, oil and gas.

Elsinore is in contention for 12 Bifas, including for Scott’s highly praised performance, while Clio Barnard’s I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning, Ashley Walters’ Animol and Mike Leigh’s Tender Loving Care are also recognised
Elsinore, the drama in which Andrew Scott plays the actor Ian Charleson as he takes on Shakespeare’s Hamlet in the last months of his life, before he died of Aids in 1990, has emerged as the leading contender for the British independent film awards (Bifas).
The film, which is directed by Simon Stone and co-stars Olivia Colman, Billie Piper and Johnny Flynn, received 12 nominations, including best British independent film, best director for Stone and best lead performance for Scott. Elsinore has collected rave reviews since its premiere at the Telluride film festival in September, with the Guardian’s Benjamin Lee describing it as “a devastating movie [that] is a reminder of Charleson’s strength and the many men like him and it implores us to remember them too”. Scott is also already being tipped as the favourite for the best actor Oscar – and he would be the first out gay actor to win.
Exclusive: While tenants are challenging increases in record numbers, renters and landlords say system is ‘not working for anyone’
The rent tribunal system is “not working for anyone”, tenants and landlords have said, as rent increases of up to 88% continue to be approved despite Labour’s pledge to curb unfair rises.
Tenants are challenging rent increases in record numbers since the Renters’ Reform Act came into effect in May, making the process easier and less risky for renters.

Godzilla Minus Zero follows the wildly successful Godzilla Minus One —Courtesy of GKids
Shortly after they'd both won Academy Awards at the 2024 Oscars, Godzilla Minus One director Takashi Yamazaki got a chance to speak with Christopher Nolan when Oppenheimerpremiered in Japan. "As part of our conversation I told him, 'One day I think I would like to make a response to your movie,'" Yamazaki recalls. "In my mind I was thinking I'd develop a film that looks directly at Hiroshima. But then I began thinking, 'Wait—Godzilla is itself a metaphor for nuclear war. Maybe I can combine the two and make a Godzilla movie that is also an answer to Oppenheimer.'"
It wasn't a crazy idea; the King of the Monsters has indeed been a walking, building-smashing allegory for the atomic bomb ever since the very first film in 1954. But audiences may be shocked by the degree to which Godzilla Minus Zero, the follow-up to 2023’s Minus One, is a full-throated response to Oppenheimer. No movie in this franchise that's three-quarters of a century old has ever been as explicit about the bomb as Godzilla Minus Zero—including the original. Minus Zero is an intense, often gruesome film that tackles big themes, and it does this while also giving the big guy another kaiju to fight in an action-packed spectacle.
Set in 1949, four years after the end of World War II and two years after Godzilla was seemingly vanquished in Minus One, the sequel has a new monster attack a still-rebuilding Japan. Ghidorah, a dragon who arrived from outer space, destroys a city in the opening set piece and only gets more dangerous from there. Yamazaki, who wrote Minus Zero in addition to directing it and helming the visual effects, admits that the classic kaiju's alien background is a bit goofier than the more grounded world he'd created for Minus One. Ghidorah speaks to a challenge that all Godzilla sequels have faced: movies where Godzilla is the only monster can be serious metaphors, but as soon as you start adding other kaiju for him to fight, the franchise seems doomed to turn dumb. Yamazaki was mindful of avoiding this with Minus Zero. The entertainment spectacle would be there, of course, but especially considering the previous film reached a much wider audience than anyone expected—making north of $114 million globally against a budget between $10 million and $15 million—Yamazaki thought the sequel had an obligation to "really dig deeper and even explore some uncomfortable subjects."
As the characters, including Ryunosuke Kamiki's returning protagonist Kōichi Shikishima, try and fail to stop Ghidorah on their own, a professor, Murakami, unveils an invention that could lure Godzilla (who it turns out is still alive) to Ghidroah's location. The plan is for the two kaiju to fight so the humans might have an easier time doing a coup de grâce on the weakened victor. On paper, this is the sort of plot that you might expect from the sillier Showa era of the franchise, in the '60s and '70s. But Professor Murakami's past trauma and hidden agenda push Minus Zero into more provocative territory.

Murakami survived the bombing of Hiroshima, but as the audience sees in a flashback to the immediate aftermath of the event, his daughter and grandson did not. While the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been key parts of Godzilla's backstory and significance, they've never been part of the plot in the way they are in Minus Zero. Godzilla's atomic breath in Minus One evoked a mushroom cloud and the resulting mass destruction, but in Minus Zero we see what nuclear death actually does to humans. The charred bodies of Murakami's family are a much more graphic and human-scale sort of violence than is normal for the franchise.
But Minus Zero goes even further. In a sequence where Murakami imagines Godzilla getting revenge on the United States by attacking New York City, the monster unleashes atomic breath on Manhattan, and the action suddenly switches to slow motion. Unsuspecting Americans look up in shock and horror as a massive inferno erupts and engulfs them. We see the flesh peel off their faces. Oppenheimer drew criticism for not showing the effects of the bomb its subject created. Godzilla Minus Zero does so in horrifying detail, and Yamazaki says he was inspired by a different American blockbuster director in his depiction of nuclear death.
"It was important to show as many people as possible what the effects of an atomic bomb would really look like. With the violence we see in New York City, I think back to Terminator 2, where James Cameron shows audiences what nuclear war does to us," Yamazaki explains. "I wanted to evoke something similar because it's very important for it to feel relatable—to jog our imaginations in a way that says, 'Wow. This is real. It is a very violent act.'"

While the Big Apple's destruction is only a terrifying dream sequence, the United States doesn't come off especially well in other parts of Godzilla Minus Zero. The American forces occupying postwar Japan have ulterior motives as they offer "help" in the fight against Ghidorah. They’re invested in controlling this Godzilla-luring device so they can add the kaiju to their nuclear arsenal, rendering the US of A as a secondary antagonist by the end of the film.
Other movies, like 2016's Shin Godzilla and 1991's Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah,have been critical of the United States. (The latter, which features flashbacks to a pre-mutated Godzilla stomping American GIs in WWII, is about an American who travels back in time to destroy Japan because it's too economically successful in the future.) But Minus Zero's unflattering depiction feels different—though considering that Minus Zero had its world premiere in New York City, there doesn't appear to be any real animosity towards the U.S. Yamazaki says he intentionally avoided making the American military too prominent in Minus One, instead having the army be "an almost unseen threat" throughout the film, but the 1940s setting meant that it was inevitable that the Yankees would take on a more explicit role. "As time passes, it was important to really take a look at what that relationship between the U.S. and Japan was," Yamazaki explains. "I went down the rabbit hole and did a lot of research about U.S. and Japan's military forces and tension, ultimately leading up to the story we see."
There's a lot going on in Godzilla Minus Zero, but Yamazaki thinks the monster is up to the task. "Godzilla was the only creature, kaiju, or entity that could handle all that weight on its shoulders," he says. Yamazaki found a way to make an exciting Godzilla sequel and respond to Oppenheimer. If he ever makes a third Godzilla movie, though, he'll face a different challenge: What to call it.
"We've gone from Minus One to Minus Zero so we're now neutral," Yamazaki says somewhat sheepishly. "That might be the biggest problem we have to solve if there is a sequel."
From gas and groceries to housing and wage growth, midterm voters who are being squeezed by inflation say the economy is their top issue this Election Day.
Google выводит Dreambeans за пределы США: первым международным рынком экспериментального приложения стала Индия. Сервис создаёт иллюстрированные истории на основе информации из подключённых приложений Google. Пользователю достаточно разрешить доступ к выбранным источникам — темы для ежедневной подборки ИИ предложит сам.
В Индии Dreambeans доступно на Android и iOS пользователям от 18 лет. Приложение поддерживает английский и 13 местных языков. Вместе с новой аудиторией Google получает проверку своей идеи: насколько людям нужна лента, которая сама выбирает темы из их личной информации.
Стандартный технический скрининг и классический live coding стремительно теряют смысл: на онлайн-собеседованиях кандидаты массово используют невидимые ИИ-суфлёры (вроде Ghost GPT), а типовые алгоритмические задачки любая современная LLM решает за пару секунд. Пытаться победить это одними запретами и прокторингом — тупиковый путь. В какой-то момент мы в SymbioWay решили пойти от обратного: официально разрешили кандидатам использовать ИИ-агентов прямо на интервью, но изменили сами задачи так, чтобы без глубокого понимания архитектуры и кода нейросеть человеку не помогла. Под катом расскажу, какие навыки мы теперь проверяем у разработчиков и как устроены такие задачи.

Каждая новая реплика запускает то же приложение, но JIT снова с нуля ищет горячие методы, собирает профиль и компилирует код.
Казалось бы, пусть первая JVM сохранит результат, а остальные его заберут. Но машинный код JIT зависит от состояния конкретного процесса. От иерархии классов, загруженных реализаций и реального трафика.
Чтобы перенести один метод, нужно быстро проверить тысячи предположений. Причём даже полностью корректный код может оказаться медленным для другой реплики.
В статье разбираемся, почему поделиться результатами JIT гораздо сложнее, чем просто положить их в кеш.

It is polling day in the US, so Jonathan Freedland is chatting to the humour writer Alexandra Petri of the Atlantic to run through this election cycle’s most effective ad campaigns, surprising alliances and embarrassing gaffes
After a long campaign season, millions of Americans will take to the polls Tuesday to cast their vote in the midterm elections to determine whether Republicans should keep control of Congress. Highly competitive races in states like Michigan, Alaska and Texas continue to heat up as voters make decisions on key issues including the war in Iran and the rising cost of living. NBC's Ryan Nobles reports for TODAY.

One motion considers reining in political spending while another proposes to municipalize the grid in sign of anger with datacenters and high bills
Two citizen-led ballot initiatives seek to rein in Michigan’s powerful electric utilities as residents say politicians have failed to address pressing issues around controversial datacenters, high energy rates and poor electric reliability.
On Tuesday, voters statewide will consider a nation-leading ban on political donations by the state’s deeply unpopular regulated utilities. At the same time, organizers in Ann Arbor, one the state’s largest cities, are proposing to banish utility giant DTE Energy by municipalizing the grid. It would establish a public power company to deliver energy.

The Super Falcons won’t be at the World Cup and with the prize money going up, they risk being left even further behind
It was a historic result in Casablanca – but not in a good way. Nigeria’s 2-1 defeat against South Africa in a playoff in August meant that the Super Falcons are missing out on the World Cup for the first time. It is a crushing blow for the most decorated national side in Africa across both men and women, one that has won no fewer than 10 Wafcon titles.
The journalist and lecturer Dr Victor Ademola was in Morocco the day of the defeat. “It was a very difficult evening,” he says. “Some players were visibly emotional while others appeared to be processing what had just happened. I saw players crying as they got on to the team bus while some sat alone or remained on their phones, looking very sad.”

Это последний кадр DOS-Арканоида 1988 года. Корабль «VAUS» улетает, потому что в 33-м раунде разбит босс DOH. У игры нет API, то есть готового программного входа, и в её память никто не лезет. Есть только картинка 320 на 200 пикселей, клавиатура и мышь.
До этого кадра в 10 партиях из 10 дошла программа, которую написал ИИ. Сам ИИ при этом не играл. Он изучил игру, глядя на экран, и написал обычную программу-игрока, а играла уже она. Доступ к игре и отдельную программу для проверки мы подготовили вдвоём с Claude, а задачи ставил я.
Полгода назад, в апреле 2026 года, я посмотрел выступление Андрея Карпатого на конференции Sequoia AI Ascent (есть и русский дубляж). Он рассказывал о трёх поколениях программ. В Software 1.0 человек пишет код. В Software 2.0 собирает данные и обучает нейросеть. В Software 3.0 «программирование превращается в промпт», а то, что лежит в контекстном окне, становится «рычагом, которым вы управляете интерпретатором, то есть LLM». Я посмотрел, покивал и, как теперь понимаю, ничего не понял.
Я не профессиональный программист. Слова про вайб-кодинг, агентов и новую парадигму давно стали для меня абстракцией: звучат умно, но потрогать их нельзя. Недавно я пересмотрел то выступление и удивился, что теперь понимаю почти каждое слово. За эти полгода я узнал в его словах свой опыт. Сначала пытался научить ИИ играть в Арканоид через обучение нейросети, и не смог. Потом поставил задачу иначе, и получилось.
Об этом и статья: как простая игра 1988 года объяснила мне то, что не смогла объяснить лекция.

Democrats are hoping to seize control in the Capitol and rein in the president’s power. Plus, a peacock that loves admiring itself in the mirror a little too much
Good morning. Americans are heading to the polls today in US midterm elections widely seen as a referendum on Donald Trump’s second presidency and a chance for opponents to rein in his power. The party holding the White House typically loses congressional seats at midterm elections and Democrats are hoping the president’s nose-diving popularity can be exploited.
Meanwhile, the US Department of Justice in California has charged six more people with alleged voter fraud crimes, an escalation of the administration’s campaign against election integrity. However, in a blow to Trump, the supreme court has ruled against attempts to force California election officials to segregate and not count ballots from people the justice department claims are non-citizens.
Where have our reporters been covering the crucial midterm races? We have a dispatch from Shrai Popatin New Hampshire, where Republicans were hoping to flip a Senate seat but now worry Trump may be dragging them down, and David Smithhas been in Austin, where James Talarico is making an extraordinary bid to break the Texas Democrats’ losing streak.

В игровой индустрии есть технологии и механики, которые вызывают у игроков почти единогласное раздражение. Чаще всего они ухудшают производительность, бьют по карману или мешают погружению в игровой процесс. Это DRM, лутбоксы и гача-механики, хроматическая аберрация и motion blur. А с недавних пор в список добавилась технология DLSS 5.
Семь лет DLSS была «невидимой» технологией. Она ускоряла игру, и пользователи этого не замечали. До четвертой версии DLSS давала больше FPS и аккуратнее восстанавливала изображение. Но с приходом DLSS 5 ситуация изменилась — теперь нейросеть не «реконструирует» кадр, а значительно меняет картинку.
NVIDIA впервые продемонстрировала DLSS 5 на GTC 16 марта 2026 года, а 3 сентября технология вышла в релиз вместе с NBA 2K27. За прошедшие между анонсом и запуском полгода она успела стать самой обсуждаемой графической технологией со времен RTX 2018 года — и, возможно, самой ненавидимой. Разберемся, что это вообще такое, почему реакция оказалась такой бурной и что это значит для разработчиков, рынка железа и самих игр. На связи Selectel, подробности — под катом!
President Donald Trump criticized fellow Republicans and Fox News’ election coverage in a series of Truth Social posts Tuesday night as his party suffered defeats up and down the ballot. Had he been on the ballot, he lamented, Republicans would have won “IN A LANDSLIDE.”
Trump singled out Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who lost his re-election bid to Democrat Gina Hinojosa, calling him a “RINO,” short for “Republican in name only.”
“He went back to his original formula, and it wasn’t pretty,” said Trump, who had praised Abbott as “strong and highly respected” a day earlier.
In a phone interview with Fox News, Trump said he was “a little surprised” by the results but rejected the suggestion that they amounted to a repudiation of his leadership.
“We’ve had the greatest two years in the history of the presidency,” he added.
Trump final push falls short
Trump had packed his final days before the election with back-to-back virtual rallies. During remarks in front of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Monday, the source of a recent troubled renovation, Trump lauded his Administration’s achievements while calling Democrats “extreme and dangerous.”
“For whatever reason, the sitting president doesn’t win the midterms, and we gave this a very strong shot,” Trump said.
His Monday schedule included at least nine virtual rallies for Republican candidates across the country. In October alone, he spoke at 27 campaign rallies.
But the last-ditch effort did little to stem Republicans’ losses, with Democrats taking control of both the House and the Senate. Republicans suffered some of their most unexpected defeats in South Carolina and Texas, two longtime Republican strongholds.
In Florida, Democrats overcame the GOP’s unusual mid-decade redistricting and were projected to win in redrawn districts where Republicans had hoped to gain an advantage.
“Democrats are showing up, they're energized. They hate, hate, hate Donald Trump,” Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, said Friday on his podcast.
For months, Trump has appeared to lay the groundwork to claim that voter fraud took place if Republicans perform poorly in the midterms, despite the fact that instances of voter fraud are exceedingly rare.
Last week, he claimed in a Truth Social post that the federal government is closely watching for any sign of voter fraud in Minnesota, and that the only way that the Republican candidate for the Senate will lose is through “playing games with the [B]allots.”
On Monday, the Supreme Court blocked the Department of Justice from setting aside 20,000 mail-in ballots that the administration claims have been provided to noncitizens. Federal judges in the lower courts have all rejected the DOJ’s request to do so.
Asked if he will respect the midterm election results, Trump told reporters last Tuesday that he will “if they are honest elections.”
