‘Dune’ Movies Returning to Imax Theaters With ‘Dune 3’ Sneak Peek (Variety)

GRANT BRICKMAN: Both Dune films are heading back to Imax, with a first look at Part 3 attached.

GRANT BRICKMAN: Both Dune films return to Imax with a Part 3 sneak peek. ▶

THE ANNOUNCER: In a world where Paul Atreides has conquered most of the universe... twenty years have passed. ▶

THE ANNOUNCER: New threats rise. Scytale, a shape-shifting villain, attempts to overthrow the emperor. ▶

KAI: Huge! Both Dune films, then a Part 3 peek, Nov. 13 only. Bring snacks. ▶

UNIT-7: Pattinson plays a shape-shifter. I just got reassigned. Same energy. ▶

THE ANNOUNCER: Dune: Part 3. In theaters Dec. 18. ▶

GRETA FOOTNOTE: Spoiler rating two. It is billed as a sneak peek, and the report names no scenes from it. ▶

ROXY: Four reels out of five. Two Dune films on the biggest screen, then a peek at Part 3. I am already crying. ▶

Sophie Wilson: Die Frau hinter dem Erfolg der Arm-Prozessoren (Elektronik Praxis)

GRETA FOOTNOTE: Sophie Wilson designed the first Arm instruction set. Her career began with cows.

GRANT BRICKMAN: Wilson designed the first Arm instruction set, with Furber co-developing the architecture. Who gets the credit for a design this big? ▶

ADA: Wilson wrote software for the BBC Micro at Acorn, then designed the instruction set of the first Arm processor. Furber co-developed the architecture. ▶

ADA: Her career began with a computer for feeding cows automatically. She got a CBE in June 2019. The article calls Arm a foundation of efficient chips. ▶

LYLE HOTCHKISS: A cow-feeding computer ends up shaping the foundations of efficient chips. That's a pebble starting an avalanche across the galaxy. ▶

PRUDENCE NUANCE: Furber co-developed it. Credit comes in shares the article never prints. ▶

LYLE HOTCHKISS: Cows first, chips second. Somebody needed those cows fed on time, and I want the name of that someone. ▶

PRUDENCE NUANCE: A conspiracy against whom? The article only says the cows got their feed. ▶

GRANT BRICKMAN: Arm, Acorn... this is a tree-and-anatomy story. Ada, what is an instruction set? ▶

ADA: It is the list of commands a chip understands. Wilson designed that list for the first Arm processor. ▶

LYLE HOTCHKISS: A farm gadget is hardly a serious debut for a processor designer. Actually, it is the only debut that makes sense. ▶

PRUDENCE NUANCE: Both can hold: an unusual start and an instruction set. The article gives both. ▶

PRUDENCE NUANCE: Dull compromise: credit Wilson for the instruction set, Furber for the architecture. ▶

GRANT BRICKMAN: What we know: Wilson designed the first Arm instruction set and worked on the BBC Micro. Who deserves more credit stays open. Back to you at the desk. ▶

Pixels in Brief (PXL)

GRANT BRICKMAN: Four quick headlines from cars to Snape, in about half a minute.

GRETA FOOTNOTE: Quick round. Rivian bets on hands-free driving to rival Tesla's FSD. The car, at least, keeps its hands off. ▶

GRETA FOOTNOTE: Reddit lost over a million Google referrals a week in October, says its CEO. Even Reddit got ghosted. ▶

GRETA FOOTNOTE: A writer found Witcher 3 Remastered's most psychedelic quest ten years late. Still on time to be haunted. ▶

GRETA FOOTNOTE: Paapa Essiedu says he can handle the Snape backlash. Shoulder-length hair is the easy part. ▶

[AD · fictional product] Trenchcoat

MAUD: At Trenchcoat, every model gives the others feedback. Mostly: stop wobbling.

MAUD: We will circle back on who is on whose shoulders. It is a journey. Upward.

MAUD: Trenchcoat. Three models. One coat.
