  • A Thousand Blows Ending Explained: What Next For Hezekiah, Mary & Sugar in Series 2?
    www.denofgeek.com
    Warning: contains finale spoilers for A Thousand Blows.To be continued reads the caption at the end of A Thousand Blows series one, and luckily for fans, it isnt followed by a question mark. Two six-episode series of Steven Knights historical drama were filmed back-to-back, which means that a second run is guaranteed to arrive at a later date on Disney+ in the UK and on Hulu in the US.In the teaser trailer for series two, we see that Hezekiah is back on the boxing circuit after his controversial bout left American champ Buster Williams dead, Mary is back in London (if she ever left) with a loaded gun in her hand, theres a battle in the streets where march a group of armed men led by a new character named Bull Jeremy, played by Peaky Blinders Ned Dennehy. Theres more thievery, more scrapping, and by the looks of it, more pain for Treacle and Sugar (James Nelson-Joyce and Stephen Graham). Heres a more detailed look at how things were left and where the story could go next.Hezekiahs RevengeIn the series one finale, Marys ruthless mother Jane Carr (Susan Lynch) came to The Blue Coat Boy pub to give Sugar some important intel: Alec Munroe (Francis Lovehall) had been stabbed by a member of The Elephants, as ordered by the gangs leader Indigo Jeremy (Robert Glenister). Alec wasnt the intended victim, but had been mistaken for Hezekiah (Malachi Kirby), whose death was ordered as a punishment to Mary for overstepping the line when she pulled off the Chinese legation heist without the involvement of the Elephants.Mary had kept all of this from Hezekiah, who had mourned his best friend Alec believing that his death was the result of a random attack. To drive a wedge between his boxing enemy Hezekiah and the object of his romantic obsession Mary, Sugar told Hezekiah the truth. When Mary came to meet Hezekiah so they could run away together to New York, he confronted her about the lies and Alecs death, and told her that she was dead to him.In the series two teaser, we see Hezekiah point a gun at a mans head and say My name is Hezekiah Moscow and today you will answer to God. That man could well be Indigo Jeremy.Queen of the Forty ElephantsLast we saw her, Mary Carr was poised to sail to New York City to reunite with her mysterious father (weve met her mother Jane, but not yet the father she apparently takes after) and get away from the threat of Indigo Jeremy and the Elephant Boys. Whether she goes we dont know, but shes certainly back in London in the series two teaser, which sees her done up in her finery and threatening a roomful of well-dressed toffs with a loaded gun. The question remains: is she still the Queen of the Forty Elephants?In series one, Eliza (Hannah Walters) and the rest of the girls abandoned Mary after she put them in danger by angering Indigo Jeremy. All but one of the women Alice Diamond (Darci Shaw) returned to Marys mother Jane and the Elephant Boys. In series two, will Mary and Alice still be a team, or could there be a new Queen of the Elephants for Mary to contend with?Sugar and Mary No MoreAfter Mary refused Sugars proposal of marriage, she lost his support and protection. Ever since Sugar met Mary as a child in the workhouse, where he would bring gifts of food to the children, hed been besotted with her and hoped that they could raise a family of misfit orphans together. Mary turned him down, having already fallen for and slept with Hezekiah, which exacerbated Sugars rivalry with the Jamaican boxer.A New Life for LaoIn the series one finale, Mr Lao faced extradition to China and the death penalty for the murder of Chinese diplomat Lo Feng Luh, whom hed stabbed in revenge for the deaths of his wife and child in China when the government official viciously put down a rebellion by burning villages and having their inhabitants slaughtered. Mary had worked out from the fake gin that Hezekiah was drinking that Lao was being hidden by distiller Jack Mac, and shed informed on Laos location to save her own skin. To make up for it, she then saved Laos life by bribing prison guards to allow Alice Diamond access to Laos cell while dressed as a nun. Alice set fire to the cell, freed Lao, and arranged for a stolen corpse to be left in his burning cell in order to fake his death. Mary then sent Lao up to Liverpool, where he was told to make a new life. Will he stay put, or could he return in series two?Thomas Goodson and Uncle SugarThe close brotherly relationship between Sugar and Treacle Goodson fell apart in episode five of series one, when Treacle implored Sugar to move on from illegal bare-knuckle boxing and fight in legitimate West End bouts. Treacle had taken over Sugars planned West End career himself after Sugar removed his gloves in a match and viciously attacked his opponent by biting him. Sugar reacted much the same this time, and beat his younger brother unconscious.Join our mailing listGet the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox!When Treacle came to, he told Sugar to stay away from him and his family, especially his son Thomas (Will Bagnall). Earlier, we saw Sugar tell Thomas that he needed to be a man and learn how to fight, showing him that his six-year-old sister was tougher than him in the ring. In the series two teaser, it seems that Thomas might well be having dealings with his uncle. Punch (Daniel Mays) is seen telling Thomas: Youd better know what youre doing. Perhaps Thomas has chosen Uncle Sugar as his role model? Or perhaps hes planning to avenge his dads attack?Who is Bull Jeremy?Ned Dennehy, who played scrapyard owner Charlie in Peaky Blinders, will play a new character named Bull Jeremy in series two. He must be kin to Indigo Jeremy, the afeard leader of male gang the Elephant and Castle Mob a brother perhaps? Dennehys character is seen in the series two trailer marching down the fiery streets mid-battle with a group of armed men. Is he there to offer support to Indigo Jeremy, to challenge him for supremacy, or perhaps, to avenge his potential death if Hezekiah carries out his own vengeance plan? Heres a theory: could Bull Jeremy even be the elusive New York City-based father of which Mary speaks?All episodes of A Thousand Blows are streaming now on Disney+ in the UK and on Hulu in the US.

  • OpenAI Researchers Find That Even the Best AI Is "Unable To Solve the Majority" of Coding Problems
    futurism.com
    OpenAI researchers have admitted that even the most advanced AI modelsstill are no match for human coders even though CEO Sam Altman insists they will be able to beat "low-level" software engineers by the end of this year.In a new paper, the company's researchers found that even frontier models, or the most advanced and boundary-pushing AI systems, "are still unable to solve the majority" of coding tasks.The researchers useda newly-developed benchmark called SWE-Lancer, built on more than 1,400 software engineering tasks from the freelancer site Upwork. Using the benchmark, OpenAI put three large language models (LLMs) its own o1 reasoning model and flagship GPT-4o, as well as Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet to the test.Specifically, the new benchmark evaluated how well the LLMs performed with two types of tasks from Upwork: individual tasks, which involved resolving bugs and implementing fixes to them, or management tasks that saw the models trying to zoom out and make higher-level decisions. (The models weren't allowed to access the internet, meaning they couldn't just crib similar answers that'd been posted online.)The models took on tasks cumulatively worth hundreds of thousands of dollars on Upwork,but they were only able to fix surface-level software issues, while remaining unable to actually find bugs in larger projects or find their root causes. These shoddy and half-baked "solutions" are likely familiarto anyone who's worked with AI which is great at spitting out confident-sounding information that often falls apart on closer inspection.Though all three LLMs were often able to operate "far faster than a human would," the paper notes, they also failed to grasp how widespread bugswere or to understand their context, "leading to solutions that are incorrect or insufficiently comprehensive."As the researchers explained, Claude 3.5 Sonnet performed better than the two OpenAI models pitted against it and made more money than o1 and GPT-4o. Still, the majority of its answers were wrong, andaccording to the researchers,any model would need "higher reliability" to be trusted with real-life coding tasks.Put more plainly, the paper seems to demonstrate that although these frontier models can work quickly and solve zoomed-in tasks, they're are nowhere near as skilled at handling them as human engineers.Though these LLMs have advanced rapidly over the past few years and will likely continue to do so, they're not skilled enough at software engineering to replace real-life people quite yet not that that's stopping CEOs from firing their human coders in favor of immature AI models.More on AI and coding: Zuckerberg Announces Plans to Automate Facebook Coding Jobs With AIShare This Article

  • Woman Whose Last Name Is "Null" Keeps Running Into Trouble With Computer Systems
    futurism.com
    Ever felt like you're just not meant for this modern age? Try having the last name "Null." Err, sorry. Please try again.Null is the term used in computer systems the world over to indicate "no value." That's not the same as the number zero, mind you. It's more like telling the computer there's "nothing to see here." So in a field for someone's phone number, for example, a "null" there would mean that no number has been entered.For those of a certain surname, this creates quite the headache. Just ask one Nontra Null, who took the name after marrying. Nontra recalls how she repeatedly applied for a visa at the Indian consulate to attend a friend's wedding in the country. And each time they got back, authorities said their flummoxed computer system couldn't process her application."I had to mentally come to terms with not being able to go," Nontra, a 41-year-old clothing designer in Burbank, California, told The Wall Street Journal. (Luckily, the visa came through the day before her flight.)It's a struggle shared by many (including one unfortunate tech journalist). Jan Null, a 75-year-old meteorologist, told the WSJ that he now adds his first initial to his last name when making hotel reservations online. Jan learned his lesson the hard way years ago when a reservation form kept resetting whenever he entered his last name. Eventually, he called the hotel employees, who suggested entering a different last name.Meanwhile, 36-year-old security auditor Joseph Tartaro says that for years he's been flooded with random traffic tickets from across the country ever since getting a license plate that reads, you guessed it, "NULL.""My wife gets super pissed off about it and she hates that I still have the license plate," Tartaro told the WSJ.Null in its current usage was invented by British computer scientist and Turing Award winner Tony Hoare. Today, it's still used by a number of programming languages, including Java and C#, but newer ones like Rust avoid it entirely. Hoare has called null his "billion dollar mistake," because it introduces vulnerabilities and can cause programs to crash."It's a difficult problem to solve because it's so widespread," Daan Leijen, a Microsoft researcher, told the WSJ. Leijen added that the software giant avoids using null values.To be clear, though, it's a decreasingly prevalent but still surprisingly common issue. Nowadays, there's no shortage of software out there that's totally null-free. But try getting everybody to upgrade their computer systems.More on computers: Alleged Tech Genius Elon Musk Makes Programming Joke That Makes Zero SenseShare This Article

  • Dr Disrespect says he "should've never been banned" and Twitch should "do the right thing" and reinstate his account
    www.eurogamer.net
    Guy "Dr Disrespect" Beahm has hit out at Twitch, saying he "should've never been banned in the first place" despite admitting to conduct that "leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate" with a minor back in June 2024.Responding to news Twitch has updated its enforcement rules so that streamers caught violating guidelines will now be subjected to varying limited-time bans, Beahm issued a comment from his personal account X/Twitter, saying Twitch "should've never allowed a low-level employee to override the entire ban system".To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Xbox Developer Direct - four promising games also coming to PlayStation.Watch on YouTubeAlthough its difficult to verify the identity of this X profile given anyone can now purchase a blue tick, the account was established in 2011 and appears to be Beahm's personal account where he posts outside of his Doc persona. To see this content please enable targeting cookies."Although things have been 'settled', Twitch should do the right thing and correct their mistake of permanently banning the Doc by reinstating the channel," he wrote. "We should've never been banned in the first place."Twitch should've never allowed a low level employee to override the entire ban system, which had already determined we didn't do anything wrong, because of biased opinions of the Doc character."They could've reached out and had a quick five-minute call and realise these mutual jokes and bantering never had serious intentions. Pathetic."Beahm admitted to conduct that "leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate" with a minor back in June, after Twitch's former account director of strategic partnerships, Cody Conners, claimed an unnamed person had been banned from the streaming platform "because [he] got caught sexting a minor". Those allegations were later directly linked to Beahm.After a period away from the spotlight, an agitated Beahm returned in a combative YouTube stream in September in which he repeatedly accused Conners and "so-called journalists" of a "planned and coordinated attack". All this, Beahm admitted, came ahead of a 25th September "opportunity" to reapply for partnership on YouTube and re-monetise his channel, which was eventually approved.Since that admission, Robert Bowling - who co-founded developer Midnight Society with Beahm - distanced himself from the streamer, and many long-running partners terminated their agreements. By the end of January, four months after making "significant" layoffs, Midnight Society announced it was permanently shutting its doors.Beahm has yet to publicly share the "mutual jokes and bantering" messages he sent to the minor.
