Netflix is adding just 8 new shows and movies to the streaming service this week. But when one of those shows is the final season of “Stranger Things,” it’s tough to focus on much else. Especially with four-and-a-half hours worth of episodes dropping the night before Thanksgiving.However, the Christmas season is also upon us, and that means that the Christmas movie season is also here. Netflix has never been one to shy away from a Christmas rom-com, and this week it’s giving us a new one: “Jingle Bell Heist.”For more to watch, read on for all of my top picks,…

[Submitted on 20 Oct 2025 (v1), last revised 21 Nov 2025 (this version, v3)] View a PDF of the paper titled Structured Debate Improves Corporate Credit Reasoning in Financial AI, by Yoonjin Lee and 5 other authors View PDF Abstract:Despite advances in financial AI, the automation of evidence-based reasoning remains unresolved in corporate credit assessment, where qualitative non-financial indicators exert decisive influence on loan repayment outcomes yet resist formalization. Existing approaches focus predominantly on numerical prediction and provide limited support for the interpretive judgments required in professional loan evaluation. This study develops and evaluates two operational large language model (LLM)-based…

To call Musk’s DC tenure contentious would be an understatement. As a man accustomed to getting what he wants and functioning as a powerful executive, he swept through Washington with a figurative chainsaw, slashing budgets, firing workers, and making audacious power grabs. Musk’s brash behavior angered government employees and alienated would-be allies, like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. Eventually, the bad blood reached a fever pitch, and Musk had a minor physical altercation with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.Politico details the stunning fallout. By late May, DOGE and Musk had lost favor with President Trump, and…

Computers are everywhere, and unfortunately, they’re not quite as reliable as I’d like, given how integral they are to our day-to-day lives. I always carry a portable Linux installation on a flash drive because it gives me ways to troubleshoot almost any computer I encounter—even if the hard drive is completely dead. A Linux drive can rule out hardware problems When a piece of hardware in your PC starts failing, it can often be difficult to diagnose. A faulty power supply might only become unstable when you’re drawing a ton of power from it. RAM may only crash when it…

Trader Joe’s may be loved for its tasty frozen meals and convenient deli options, but in my opinion, one of the store’s most underrated areas is the produce section. In addition to prepared produce and simple dinner starters like Mirepoix, the grocery store also offers a selection of pre-packaged kits that make weeknight meals a breeze. I love the Stir Fry Veggie Blend for a quick addition to fried rice, and the Roasted Green Vegetables are a simple side, but there’s one particular $4 Trader Joe’s find in the produce section that our editors eat daily. Our Editors Love the…

Roblox CEO Dave Baszucki joined The New York Times’ Hard Fork podcast to discuss the gaming platform’s new age verification feature — but he seemed to get frustrated at the number of questions focused on child safety. The interview began with Baszucki describing the feature, which will require all users who want to submit a face scan if they want to access Roblox’s messaging features. But by the time he was asked about a report claiming the company had prioritized growth over safety, Baszucki seemed to tire of the topic, responding, “Fun. Let’s keep going down this.” And when co-host…

When Ina Garten lends her stamp of approval to something, you know it’s going to be good. Whether it’s a particular brand of butter or a go-to recipe, she knows quality when she sees it—or rather, tastes it. She’s even gone so far as to say there is one product she will never buy at the store, because homemade versions are far superior! So, yes, Ina has good taste in every sense. It’s always fascinating to hear more about what she uses in her daily routine, since so many of her recipes and tricks are for special events or hosting…
