You get a new puzzle at midnight every day. You can play on the NYT website or Games app.Youre presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like items you can click, names for research study participants or words preceded by a body part.Theres only one solution for each puzzle, and youll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them.Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is usually the most difficult one. The purple group often involves wordplay.Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and youre incorrect, youll lose a life. If youre close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that youre one word away from getting it right, but youll still need to figure out which one to swap.If you make four mistakes, its game over.

For a newcomer, the amount of tips and tricks you need to learn in Monster Hunter Wilds can feel overwhelming. Just figuring out which weapon to use or what armor to upgrade can be a lot, but mastering the games somewhat cryptic combat mechanics can take dozens of hours. Even friends who have played hundreds of hours of prior games wont be able to help you with new systems like offset attacks and power clashes, though. For that, we can help you learn all about this new move, how it works, and why it is so important.CapcomPower clashes are another new move type that is only used by certain weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds.Before getting into the details, make sure youre rocking one of the following weapons to be able to pull off a power clash:Great SwordGunlanceSword and ShieldCharge BladeLanceHeavy BowgunRecommended VideosWhile the offset attack asks you to time an attack to interrupt an enemy, power clashes trigger when you time your block to parry an incoming attack. This requires perfect timing, but it also doesnt work on every attack. You will know you are performing a perfect guard when you see a small white glow around your character when tanking the hit. Perform enough perfect guards to build up the power clash it will trigger eventually. Once this happens, you will be prompted to mash your attack button to win the clash. If you do, the monster will be knocked down and wide open to attack.RelatedThe other big difference between this and offset attacks is that there are no complex inputs or combos to activate it for each weapon. As long as you can master the timing, power attacks are a much more reliable tool. But, like offset attacks and status effects, it will take more blocks to trigger additional power clashes as you keep using them.Editors Recommendations

We bought an RV, and three days later, we took off for an almost four-month-long trip. We had to pack four months' worth of clothes for our 7-month-old baby since he was growing so fast. Every stop along our trip had hidden gems, and it was a beautiful experience. While most people who buy an RV do a test trip or a "shakedown" before they head out on a proper RV camping trip, our family does nothing by half-measures. Some would call it brave, others reckless (possibly more accurately), but three days after buying our RV, we set off on a three-and-a-half-month RV trip with our son, traveling around the whole continental United States.In our defense, we rented a similar RV and did a 10-day trip from Orlando to Dallas and back to determine whether the lifestyle was for us or not. It had been a dream for years to travel around the United States in an RV as a family, and so after a successful trip to Dallas, we decided to bite the bullet. Due to several engagements, we had committed to along the way in different states, there was a time crunch on our departure, and we set off on the trip in our typically chaotic fashion with some semblance of planning. We packed dry foods and canned foods under the dinette, tote boxes with four months of clothes for our growing infant, and a capsule wardrobe of summer and winter clothes for ourselves as we traveled through different climates. We absolutely loved our adventure and seeing our son grow through the months. There were things that didn't go as plannedAlthough there were definitely things that went wrong, like our slide-out breaking, which resulted in us doing the second half of the trip without a slide, getting locked out of the RV with 10 miles of gas left in our truck, and boondocking in rest stops in the middle of a heat dome, we also made some wonderful memories as a family. The bumps along the road helped us build that muscle of resilience to change and adaptability that I believe will serve us well in the future. Every stop along the way had hidden gems we would not have discovered if we had taken a traditional trip and flown to a destination. It is amazing what kind of communities are created where a need exists, which most people are unaware of.We spent more money than we had anticipatedThe costs of traveling around in an RV are mainly related to gas and campsites. We soon realized that the speed at which we were traveling resulted in us burning money at a rate greater than we had anticipated in our gas-guzzling Toyota Tundra towing our 22-foot travel trailer. While we could save on campsite costs with our memberships and boondocking, the cost of gas resulted in us dipping into our savings to pay for the lifestyle. Additionally, while at home, we shopped at Costco and cooked in bulk to meal prep and freeze food, but on the road, we bought smaller quantities of groceries, which were more expensive. There was also the novelty of buying fresh local produce, even when it was three times more expensive after all who could pass up the allure of buying fresh eggs and bread from the farm you're spending the night at?We met so many people who cared for our babyLooking back at our big RV trip, I think fondly not just of the sights we saw, like the painted desert in Arizona and the Catskills in New York, but the people we met along the way. The author packed months' worth of clothes for her son since he grew so much during the trip. Courtesy of the author When we stopped for a night at a Vino Veritas in Cleveland, we discovered it had once been a school, and the property was turned into a winery and hobby farm. and also allowed a couple of RVs to park on-site in exchange for purchasing something from the winery. The owner took my son around to see his pigs, goats, geese, and ducks. In the mornings, his dogs would join us outside for breakfast at the picnic tables, and at night, my husband and I dodged a family of skunks on the way to the restroom. In Idaho we stopped at a local library, one of many we stopped at so that our son could have a break while driving, and he unfortunately bit a librarian who was carrying him. She calmly told me that she had run story-times for three generations of families in the area and was used to her tiny clients biting her. She then encouraged us to take seeds from their seed library and see how they would do once we returned home. I met parents at a Duplo open play session at a library in Vancouver, Canada, who shared their hopes, dreams, worries, and anxieties about the future that their children would inherit. In Portland, Oregon, we stayed at a Harvest host site where our host, an ex-Peace Corp with two long gray pigtails, would carry our son down to the river and show him the deer, clad in a tie-dye print skirt from his days in Vietnam. In Tahoe, we camped at a Thousand Trails campsite enveloped in tall pine trees, and I heard a familiar accent in the camping store that reminded me of home. There was a woman working there from Melbourne, Australia, where I had just spent the last 10 years living before I moved to the United States. When we left Orlando, our son could sit up unassisted and had two teeth. When we returned, he was weeks away from walking and had 10 teeth and a lifetime of experiences. He may not remember much of this trip, but we will. Living in an RV for three and a half months and traveling across the United States in it has taught us so much about living simply, making do with less, and the value of human connection.

OpenAI has been elevating research and technical talent to leadership roles after recent departures.The company has also brought on some new faces to fill the vacancies in its executive suite. Here are some of the key people to watch going forward.Last year, OpenAI found itself navigating a storm of departures. Recently, the company has been busy elevating its research and technical talent to leadership positions while strategically bringing in new hires to patch up the holes in its executive suite.This shuffle in leadership couldn't come at a more critical time, as the company faces intensified competition from heavyweights like Microsoft, Google, Anthropic, and Elon Musk's xAI. Staying ahead means securing top-flight talent is essential. After all, "OpenAI is nothing without its people," or so employees declared on social media after the failed Sam Altman ouster.Meanwhile, the company is juggling a cascade of legal challenges, from copyright lawsuits to antitrust scrutiny, all while navigating the shifting sands of regulatory guidance under President Donald Trump. On top of that, OpenAI is trying to restructure as a for-profit business, raise tens of billions of dollars, and build new computer data centers in the US to develop its tech.It's a high-wire act that hinges on the expertise and execution of its new and newly promoted leaders. Below are some of the key power players who are helping to shape OpenAI's future.Leadership Sarah Friar. Photo By Stephen McCarthy/Sportsfile via Getty Images Sarah Friar, chief financial officerFriar joined last year as the company's first financial chief and a seasoned addition to the new guard. Formerly Square's CFO, Friar knows how to turn a founder's vision into a story that investors want to be a part of. She took two companies public: Square and Nextdoor, the hyperlocal social network she led through explosive growth during pandemic lockdowns.At OpenAI, Friar leads a finance team responsible for securing the funds required to build better models and the data centers to power them. In her first few months on the job, she helped the company get $6.5 billion in one of the biggest private pools of capital in startup history.She inherited a business with a colossal consumer-facing business and high-profile partnerships with Microsoft and Apple. At the same time, OpenAI is burning through billions of dollars as it seeks to outpace increasingly stiff competition from Google, Meta, and others. Friar is expected to bring much-needed financial acumen to OpenAI as the company moves to turn its research into mass-market products and a profitable business.Jason Kwon, chief strategy officerIn his role as chief strategy officer, Kwon helps set the agenda for a slew of non-research initiatives, including the company's increasingly active outreach to policymakers and the various legal challenges swirling around it. His background as the company's former general counsel gives him a strong foundation in navigating complex legal and regulatory landscapes.Kwon works closely with Anna Makanju, the VP of global impact, and Chris Lehane, the VP of global affairs, as they seek to build and strengthen OpenAI's relationships in the public sector.Kwon was previously general counsel at the famed startup accelerator Y Combinator and assistant general counsel at Khosla Ventures, an early investor in OpenAI.Che Chang, general counselBeing at the forefront of artificial intelligence development puts OpenAI in a position to navigate and shape a largely uncharted legal territory. In his role as general counsel, Chang leads a team of attorneys who address the legal challenges associated with the creation and deployment of large language models. The company faces dozens of lawsuits concerning the datasets used to train its models and other privacy complaints, as well as multiple government investigations.OpenAI's top lawyer joined the company after serving as senior corporate counsel at Amazon, where he advised executives on developing and selling machine learning products and established Amazon's positions on artificial intelligence policy and legislation. In 2021, Chang took over for his former boss, Jason Kwon, who has since become chief strategy officer.Kevin Weil, chief product officer Kevin Weil. Photo by Horacio Villalobos/Corbis via Getty Images If Sam Altman is OpenAI's starry-eyed visionary, Weil is its executor. He leads a product team that turns blue-sky research into products and services the company can sell.Weil joined last year as a steady-handed product guru known for playing key roles at large social networks. He was a longtime Twitter insider who created products that made the social media company money during a revolving door of chief executives. At Instagram, he helped kneecap Snapchat's growth with competitive product releases such as Stories and live video.Weil is expected to bring much-needed systems thinking to OpenAI as the company moves to turn its research into polished products for both consumer and enterprise use cases.Nick Turley, ChatGPT's head of productIn the three years since ChatGPT burst onto the scene, it has reached hundreds of millions of active users and generated billions in revenue for its maker. Turley, a product savant who leads the teams driving the chatbot's development, is behind much of ChatGPT's success.Turley joined in 2022 after his tenure at Instacart, where he guided a team of product managers through the pandemic-driven surge in demand for grocery delivery services.OpenAI's chatbot czar is likely to play a crucial role as the company expands into the enterprise market and adds more powerful, compute-intensive features to its famed chatbot.Srinivas Narayanan, vice president of engineeringNarayanan was a longtime Facebook insider who worked on important product releases such as Facebook Photos and tools to help developers build for its virtual reality headset, Oculus. Now, he leads the OpenAI teams responsible for building new products and scaling its systems. This includes ChatGPT, which is used by over 400 million people weekly; the developer platform, which has doubled usage over the past six months; and the infrastructure needed to support both.ResearchJakub Pachocki, chief scientistIlya Sutkever's departure as chief scientist last year prompted questions about the company's ability to stay on top of the artificial intelligence arms race. That has thrust Pachocki into the spotlight. He took on the mantle of chief scientist after seven years as an OpenAI researcher.Pachocki had already been working closely with Sutskever on some of OpenAI's most ambitious projects, including an advanced reasoning model now known as o1. In a post announcing his promotion, Sam Altman called Pachocki "easily one of the greatest minds of our generation."Mark Chen, senior vice president of researchA flurry of executive departures also cast Chen into the highest levels of leadership. He was promoted last September following the exit of Bob McGrew, the company's chief research officer. In a post announcing the change, Altman called out Chen's "deep technical expertise" and commended the longtime employee as having developed as a manager in recent years.Chen's path to OpenAI is a bit atypical compared to some of his colleagues. After studying computer science and mathematics at MIT, he began his career as a quantitative trader on Wall Street before joining OpenAI in 2018. Chen previously led the company's frontier research.He has been integral to OpenAI's efforts to expand into multimodal models, heading up the team that developed DALL-E and the team that incorporated visual perception into GPT-4. Chen was also an important liaison between employees and management during Sam 0Altman's short-lived ouster, further cementing his importance within the company.Liam Fedus, vice president of research, post-trainingFedus helps the company get new products out the door. He leads a post-training team responsible for taking the company's state-of-the-art models and improving their performance and efficiency before it releases them to the masses. Fedus was the third person to lead the team in a six-month period following the departures of Barret Zoph and Bob McGrew last year.Fedus was also one of seven OpenAI researchers who developed a group of advanced reasoning models known as Strawberry. These models, which can think through problems and complete tasks they haven't encountered before, represented a significant leap at launch.Josh Tobin, member of technical staffTobin, an early research scientist at OpenAI, left to found Gantry, a company that assists teams in determining when and how to retrain their artificial intelligence systems. He returned to OpenAI last September and now leads a team of researchers focused on developing agentic products. Its flashy new agent, Deep Research, creates in-depth reports on nearly any topic.Tobin brings invaluable experience in building agents as the company aims to scale them across a wide range of use cases. In a February interview with Sequoia, Tobin explained that when the company takes a reasoning model, gives it access to the same tools humans use to do their jobs, and optimizes for the kinds of outcomes it wants the agent to be able to do, "there's really nothing stopping that recipe from scaling to more and more complex tasks."LegalAndrea Appella, associate general counsel for Europe, Middle East, AsiaAppella joined last year, bolstering the company's legal firepower as it navigated a thicket of open investigations into data privacy concerns, including from watchdogs in Italy and Poland. Appella is a leading expert on competition and regulatory law, having previously served as head of global competition at Netflix and deputy general counsel at 21st Century Fox.Regulatory scrutiny could still prove to be an existential threat to OpenAI as policymakers worldwide put guardrails on the nascent artificial intelligence industry. Nowhere have lawmakers been more aggressive than in Europe, which makes Appella's role as the company's top legal representative in Europe one of the more crucial positions in determining the company's future.Haidee Schwartz, associate general counsel for competitionOpenAI has spent the last year beefing up its legal team as it faces multiple antitrust probes. Schwartz, who joined in 2023, knows more about antitrust enforcement than almost anyone in Silicon Valley, having seen both sides of the issue during her storied legal career.Between 2017 and 2019, she served as the acting deputy director of the Bureau of Competition at the Federal Trade Commission, one of the agencies currently investigating Microsoft's agreements with OpenAI. Schwartz also advised clients on merger review and antitrust enforcement as a partner at law firm Akin Gump. She'll likely play an important role in helping OpenAI navigate the shifting antitrust landscape in President Donald Trump's second term.Heather Whitney, copyright counselWhitney serves as lead data counsel at OpenAI, placing her at the forefront of various legal battles with publishers that have emerged in recent years. She joined the company last January, shortly after The New York Times filed a copyright lawsuit against OpenAI and its corporate backer, Microsoft. OpenAI motioned to dismiss the high-profile case last month.Whitney's handling of these legal cases, which raise new questions about intellectual property in relation to machine learning, will be crucial in deciding OpenAI's future.Previously, Whitney worked at the law firm Morrison Foerster, where she specialized in novel copyright issues related to artificial intelligence and was a member of the firm's AI Steering Committee. Prior to her official hiring, she had already been collaborating with OpenAI as part of Morrison Foerster, which is among several law firms offering external counsel to the company.PolicyChan Park, head of US and Canada policy and partnershipsBefore OpenAI had a stable of federal lobbyists, it had Park. In 2023, the company registered the former Microsoft lobbyist as its first in-house lobbyist, marking a strategic move to engage more actively with lawmakers wrestling with artificial intelligence regulation.Since then, OpenAI has beefed up its lobbying efforts as it seeks to build relationships in government and influence the development of artificial intelligence policy. It's enlisted white-shoe law firms and at least one former US senator to plead OpenAI's case in Washington. The company also spent $1.76 million on government lobbying in 2024, a sevenfold increase from the year before, according to a recent disclosure reviewed by the MIT Technology Review.Park has been helping to guide those efforts from within OpenAI as the company continues to sharpen its message around responsible development of artificial intelligence.Anna Makanju, vice president of global impactReferred to as OpenAI's de facto foreign minister, Makanju is the mastermind behind Sam Altman's global charm offensive. On multiple trips, he met with world leaders, including the Indian prime minister and South Korean president, to discuss the future of artificial intelligence.The tour was part of a broader effort to make Altman the friendly face of a nascent industry and ensure that OpenAI will have a seat at the table when designing artificial intelligence regulations and policies. Makanju, a veteran of Starlink and Facebook who also served as a special policy advisor to former President Joe Biden, has been integral in that effort.In addition to helping Altman introduce himself on the world stage, she has played an important role in expanding OpenAI's commercial partnerships in the public sector.Chris Lehane, vice president of global affairs Chris Lehane. Thomson Reuters Lehane joined OpenAI last year to help the company liaise with policymakers and navigate an uncharted political landscape around artificial intelligence. The veteran political operative and "spin master" played a similar role at Airbnb, where he served as head of global policy and public affairs from 2015 to 2022 and helped it address growing opposition from local authorities.He previously served in the Clinton White House, where Newsweek referred to him as a "master of disaster" for his handling of the scandals and political crises that plagued the administration.Lehane is poised to play a crucial role in ensuring that the United States stays at the forefront of the global race in artificial intelligence. When President Trump introduced Stargate, a joint venture between OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank aimed at building large domestic data centers, Lehane was on the scene. From Washington, he traveled to Texas to meet with local officials, engaging in discussions about how the state could meet the rapidly growing demand for energy.Lane Dilg, head of infrastructure policy and partnershipsIn her newly appointed role, Dilg works to grease the wheels for the construction of giant data centers needed to build artificial intelligence. She took on the position in January after two years as head of strategic initiatives for global affairs, working with government agencies, private industry, and nonprofit organizations to ensure that artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity.In hiring Dilg, OpenAI gained an inside player in the public sector. Dilg is a former senior advisor to the undersecretary of infrastructure at the US Department of Energy and was interim city manager for Santa Monica, California, managing the city through the COVID-19 pandemic.Dilg will undoubtedly play an important role in expanding and nurturing OpenAI's relationships in Washington as it seeks to secure President Trump's support for building its own data centers.Have a tip?

The firstDoctor Whoseason with Ncuti Gatwa in the lead role had its ups and downs, but it seemed to be a generally good that left audiences wanting more of him. Fortunately, the show already had another season with Gatwas Fifteenth Doctor locked in, and were finally getting another look at whats to come in April. After bidding farewell to Ruby Sunday at the end of the last season, the Doctor has found himself a new companion by the name of Belinda Chatdra (Varada Sethu). Shes already got a lot on her plate as a nurse, and when she gets swept up in the Doctors latest escapade, all she wants to do is just go back home. But that may have to wait, because theres a potential mystery surrounding herwhy did Mundy Flynn from the previous season have her face, and why is the Doctor crossing paths with both women? What wont be waiting are the adventures the two will go on throughout the season. In typicalDoctor Whofashion, they run the gamut from the action-packed and apocalyptic to the scary and silly. Not only do the pair find themselves attending an intergalactic music festival, they also get caught up in a planet at war, and uncover a kidnapping plot. One of the most interesting teases is for Mr. Ring-a-Ding, a villain voiced by Alan Cumming whos done in 2D animation and is ready to leap into the real world. Its an interesting swing in what looks to be a fun season, which as just as well since the series is approaching the 20th anniversary of its revival and its future has been called into question lately.

A few weeks ago, we learned the next chapter in Batmans ongoing life will be helmed by Matt Fraction and Jorge Jimnez. But before that, the hero will face off against a returning foe in the pages of Batman: Hush 2(orH2SH,as it looks in the logo). Like the original 2002 comic, the story arctold across 12 issueswill be penned by Jeph Loeb and drawn by Jim Lee, with inks and letters from Scott Williams and Richard Starkings. Hushwas an acclaimed arc back in its day, and the sequels recent trailer really wants you to get on board with this through animated panels of Lee and Williams artwork. What isHush 2actually about beyond Batman and facing off against his childhood friend-turned-enemy Tommy Elliott once again? Loeb and Lee arent saying, though the writer previously teased this would resolve the Hush saga once and for all. (This being comics, who knows how long once and for all will actually be.) According to the Hollywood Reporter, Absolute Batman was the top-selling comic of 2024, and DC would very much like Hush 2 to be one of 2025s top-selling books. Collected editions of the original Batman: Hushhave been a consistent seller for DC over the years, and the company reportedly gave the sequel a lot of attention during Februarys ComicsPro industry meeting. You can definitely feel that confidence in the trailer, which features Lee and Loeb walking in slow motion to sit together and calls the upcoming story the most anticipated sequel in comics history. Well find out how true that is when Hush 2begins in the pages of March 26sBatman #158and concludes part one with Batman #163in August. Part two will launch at a later date. Want more io9 news?

Richter Centre reflects company's dynamism and community orientation. Designed by Zoboki Design and Architecture (ZDA), the new Richter Gedeon headquarters marks the beginning of a new era for the company. This building not only pays homage to Richter's history and tradition but also stands as an outstanding example of modern architecture, blending functionality, sustainability, and distinctive form. Richter's tradition and vision - The Richter Centre is located on the company's historical production site in Budapest, Hungary, that has been continuously expanded over the decades. Following a deliberate land use strategy, the company revitalizes its original factory sites, while gradually developing based on a long-term master plan created by ZDA 20 years ago. The new building, positioned centrally, next to the Chemical Research and Office Building, bridges the noble past of the company with its future developments.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The three pillars of the concept. The architectural concept is built on three main principles: Functionality: The initial phase of the design process focused on shaping the interior spaces to maximally support the efficiency and well-being of employees. Innovation: The building's form, appearance, and the modern architectural technologies and materials used all reflect the company's values and future-proof nature. Moderation: The building's exterior appearance is elegant and refined. The use of materials and the design of the faade are both modern and timeless.The architectural concept aimed to combine the highest level of interior functionality with a unique exterior appearance. The connection between the new Centre and the 2007 Chemical Research and Office Building, also designed by ZDA, is ensured by the conference unit. The central spaces of the buildings are linked by a generous bridge that unites research and corporate management both functionally and symbolically.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Iconic appearance and interior design - The faade reflects the two fundamental elements of research and development: invention and strict regulation. Each element is part of a rule-based system, yet they all take on unique forms. Viewed from a distance, the building appears as a unified work of art, while up close, the creativity and precision in the fine details are revealed. The louvers forming the undulating faade are all unique, yet they follow a uniform rule set, providing aesthetic and structural coherence. Achieving these virtuoso forms necessitated a new type of parametric tool-based collaboration between architects and engineers. Undulating forms run through both the interior and the exterior spaces. This sense of flow is also reflected in the grand central space of the building: with the virtuoso stair structures it not only serves circulation but it is also a place for communication and meetings. Overcoming design and construction challenges - Creating the expansive communal spaces required the development of several large-span structures, which were challenging from a structural perspective. The building's steel beams and glass pillars are of such dimensions that they required special technology to implement. Additionally, various technical challenges had to be overcome in terms of sustainability, such as the heat absorbed by large surfaces. Special and precise design was essential to ensure ideal and humane interior comfort.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:Budapest, HungaryLocation to be used only as a reference.
