Err, what?

March 29th, 2013 - The Host. Is that the Korean film that has been out for a couple of years now?

September 20th, 2013 - Star Wars Episode II - Attack of the Clones. Ok, that one has definitely been around for a while.

What is this list?

EDIT: Riddick is another one that has been out for a while...I don't understand this list at all...

I'm not sure about the first one, but the Star Wars one is a 3D re-release, like they did with Episode I.

EDIT: Riddick is the third installment in that series, to cap off the trilogy.

Oh god, count me out of this list then. 3D is quickly becoming a problem for my movie-going habits. I didn't see the Hobbit with friends the other day because of the silly gimmick. :(

I feel ya on that one. The only 3D movie I have ever seen in theaters was Episode I, and the only scene I can recall even being remotely "3D" was the pod races. (This was also a very bad introduction to the 3D theater experience, as I probably won't ever waste my money again, as poor of a job as that one was.) Other than that, it was clearly a simple cash grab by Lucas. As far as I know they are re-releasing all of them (including the original trilogy) in "3D." I will not be seeing any of them, myself. Now that Episode VII is going to be released in 2015, I am assuming this is why they are doing all the 3D re-releases in theaters.... And of course, money.

I agree 3D is very gimmicky, i try to watch the 2D films where possible but have ended up in a couple of 3D films. The one good thing i will say about 3D is that it draws the crowds so generally the 2D showing is not as busy :)

Totally agree. Usually used to prop up a bad film.

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.

      26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.
