He may be a critically acclaimed actor, but Adam Driver’s most important role is being a father to his two children.

The Megalopolis The star met his wife Joanne Tucker while attending Julliard in New York City. The couple married in Bermuda in 2013 and quietly welcomed their first child, a son, around 2018. Their family grew again when a little girl was added in 2023.

Although the Marriage story Although the actor prefers to keep his children out of the spotlight, he has occasionally spoken out about how he copes with fatherhood as a father of two in Hollywood.

“I remember this time I have to enjoy it more,” Driver continued Live with Kelly and Mark about the birth of his daughter. “It happened too quickly the first time and I was so anxious for him to develop somehow so he could communicate and tell me what was going on. And now I’m more patient with her. I’m trying to enjoy it more.

Driver jokingly added that he and his daughter were best friends, noting that she “likes me more” than her older brother, who “didn’t want anything to do with me for the first three years.”

Here’s everything Adam Driver said about his two children and fatherhood.

The driver announced the arrival of his two children Saturday Night Live

Saturday Night Live holds a special place in Driver’s heart. Here the actor publicly confirmed the birth of his son and daughter – on different occasions.

The driver revealed that he had been promoted to “Dad” during his career Saturday Night Live Hosting gig in January 2020.

“I am a husband. And father. However, the order is like this. I made that very clear to my son, he comes second in everything,” he joked during his opening monologue.

In February 2023 it was announced that the couple was expecting their second child together. The driver later announced his daughter’s arrival during a conversation Saturday Night Live Dress rehearsal in December 2023.

“Last year I asked for a little girl and I got her, which is exhausting,” Driver reportedly said while practicing his opening monologue Page six. “So this year I’m wishing for Ambien!”

He kept his children out of the spotlight

Driver has made it his mission to keep details of his children’s lives secret. In a profile published in 2019 by The New YorkerHe compared protecting their identities to a “military operation.”

At the 2018 Los Cabos International Film Festival, reporters asked Driver, “How does being a father change your influence on films?” To which he replied, “I mean, it changes everything.”

When asked for further information, Driver added: “I don’t want to get involved in it. … It’s kind of private to me, so I’ll leave it that way.”

Fatherhood gave Driver a new perspective on his career

When appearing on the SmartLess On the January 2024 podcast, Driver shared that since becoming a parent, he has become much more “conscious” about the types of projects he has taken on.

“I worked consistently pretty much into my 30s. Now that I have two children, I’m trying to change the way I work,” he said House of Gucci Star shared. “Now I can’t be away that long, and I don’t want to be away that long.”

The driver’s son is “very protective” of his little sister

For some firstborns, adding a younger sibling can be a challenge, but not for Driver’s son.

The former Marine said his son was thrilled to welcome his little sister into the family. In fact, he has taken on the role of protector.

On the subject of his son becoming a big brother, Driver continued SmartLess in January 2024: “I feel like we’ve given him six years of attention and he’s completely fine.”

The Oscar nominee added that his son is “very protective” of his sister.

Driver has said his son is his harshest critic

In 2023, Driver noted that his son “hates movies” and has “no interest in watching any of his movies,” including his dinosaur movie. 65.

“I was with my family the whole time and my son would just tell me everything about every dinosaur,” he recalled Late Night with Seth Meyers in March 2023, adding that he hoped his child would love the film, which had a lot to do with “dinosaurs and laser guns.”

Driver continued: “He’s into dinosaurs. I think, ‘I’m in.’ And then we left [to set]and he somehow knew everything. The guy said, ‘That might be a little scary.’ Don’t be scared.’ He goes, ‘No… Gallimimus… Eoraptor’… He named everything, he was really excited.”

However, when it came time to see his father’s new film in the theater, he wasn’t interested.

“He doesn’t want to see the movie because it’s too scary,” Driver explained. “So I basically made this thing for him to look at, and he has no interest in looking at it.”

I am a working mother of an 8 month old and a 3 year old child. My husband also works full time and we don’t have any family nearby who could provide additional support. Some days it feels like this is my crowning achievement: I manage to feed, clothe, bathe, and feed people as well as myself while stringing together coherent sentences and meeting professional deadlines. Before my second child was born, I was worried. How would I cope with life with more than one child?

Now that I’m at it, I’m still at a loss as to how this can happen. Our mornings aren’t total chaos per se, but most days I shovel in my breakfast while standing over the kitchen counter doing at least two other tasks. My daughter is usually running back and forth between rooms, defeating monsters with her superpowers, while my son is in his activity center screaming and smashing pieces of plastic together like a pro wrestling superfan. It’s not exactly Zen. Sometimes I just need an extra hand, and in many cases that helping hand comes in the form of a smart device.

Smart home devices throughout the home are becoming the norm. A report from market research firm Grand View Research found not only that the smart home market is worth $79 billion in 2022, but also that it is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 27% through 2030. That is 27% more than in the previous year, yearly, A pace that Grand View says will be driven by artificial intelligence and more hands-free experiences.

Delegating is the hallmark of any good leader, so I automate my technique as much as possible, and if there’s something I can control remotely, even better. Here are some ways I use tech products to manage the household.

7 smart home items for busy families

A little smart home technology goes a long way

Becoming a mother of two means I have lost extra brain cells. And unfortunately, being in two places at once didn’t magically give me the power. The use of technology offers an unbeatable level of convenience and peace of mind, which is invaluable for busy parents.

Opinions expressed by CNET Voices contributors are their own.

Going into The Last Days of the Space Age, I have to admit I didn’t know much about 1970s Australia. But honestly, great television doesn’t require a deep understanding of the setting, historical or otherwise, to work. When I started Shōgun I knew a lot less about feudal Japan, and I was completely captivated by it. In fact, one of the reasons television (and narrative fiction as a whole) is so powerful is that it can serve as a window into different places, times, and cultures, helping us recognize our shared humanities And our differences. Great television even shapes our understanding of history and ourselves.

But unfortunately, The Last Days of the Space Age isn’t great television. It’s not even good. Now I’ve only seen the four (of eight episodes) that were made available to critics. So it’s possible that the back half is completely transformative.

However, based on the first half, I’m sad to say that there’s nothing to look forward to here. “The Last Days of the Space Age” introduces many characters – and I mean many – but puts the least compelling characters front and center. Meet the Bissetts: Father Tony (Jesse Spencer) is a factory worker and union leader who has been on strike for six months; Ms. Judy (Radha Mitchell, doing her best) works in management at the same factory, and yes, she breaks the picket line to go to work every day. But we are supposed to be on her side, even though she regularly tells her husband to be a man and take care of us. It’s confusing. There are other jobs! Get them! Even strict gender norms are not a feminist act.

They have two teenage daughters, one pretty and free, the other smart and simple. The supposedly inconspicuous Tilly (Mackenzie Mazur) wants to become an astronaut (hence the title) and organizes her entire life accordingly. Still, her career counselor discourages her and her best friend Jono (Aidan Du Chiem) tells her in the first episode that she is alone. She persists – until a woman tells her that’s not possible and then Tilly throws away all her space things. Why? What makes this setback different? Unknown.

Meanwhile, free spirit Mia (Emily Grant) loves surfing, kisses her sister’s best friend and fights off the boys/young men who would take her waves. Don’t worry – she will be punished for it. Roll your eyes quietly.

These frustrating four are the focus of the series, and their trite and frankly offensive storylines at least splinter into potentially interesting supporting characters.

Take the Vietnamese family who runs a food truck in the Western Australian city of Perth. We see them struggle with the small (and large) aggression of the European descendants surrounding them. Older son Jono is the Bissett daughters’ best friend/romantic partner. It seems like his younger brother has died, but then we learn that he may still be alive. But what circumstance prompted them to immigrate? Was the experience of being separated from (or losing) children common for people who embarked on the journey? What is actually happening here? “The Last Days of the Space Age” gives no context, so you’ll have to google it. And because so little time is devoted to them, their potentially emotional story is given no weight at all. Instead, The Last Days of the Space Age is about finding Judy’s struggles to endure and persevere in an office job more compelling.

I suspect that Australia also hosted Miss Universe in 1979, which is portrayed as a big deal in the series, but still extremely accessible to everyone in Perth, with Mia and her friends crashing the beauty queens’ party, for example. Inexplicably, The Last Days of the Space Age makes Miss USSR (Ines English) a central character (or as central as anyone in this show). We see her doused with a red liquid, navigating the competition’s internal politics between contestants, and exerting her power as she connects with Tony’s gay brother Mick (George Mason, who at least has fun with it). I don’t know why. Does this woman matter? What makes you better or worse than the other participants? Maybe it will help Mick achieve economic success, but why and who cares?

Are you lost yet? Because there is a completely different plot and a completely different character! Meet Eileen (Deborah Mailman). She lives next door to the Bissetts and is having a secret affair with Judy’s father (Iain Glen). Since neither of them is married, it is unclear why they kept the affair secret. It could be because he is white and she is Aboriginal. But maybe race isn’t the reason – maybe they’re just worried about small town gossip (is Perth a small town?). There are so many answered questions. Eileen’s activist daughter has a teenage son (the same age as the Bissett girls) and Eileen insists that he live with her and go to school rather than traveling around the country in protest. The boy (Thomas Weatherall) is racially profiled on his first day of school (by the police officer who also lives next door to the Bissetts) and eventually a conscript says that the police officer’s daughter belongs to his worldview. Therefore, he and Eileen would have worked better as the focal point of this show, as they transcend racial and class barriers and have a better understanding of the systems that operate around them.

But unfortunately we’re left with the confusing white family who are more dude than human. It’s as if the series chose diversity for diversity’s sake with its country acknowledgment in the end credits. But the non-white characters are never the focus, even though their perspectives and experiences seem far more compelling.

And this is where The Last Days of the Space Age really fails, because it tries to have its cake and eat it too. This is a show where all but one of our teenagers live next door to each other, in a kind of TV magic that expands plausibility. The whole thing is an over-the-top manufactured mess. Yes, the characters are all part of the same social environment, but how (or if) their struggles are connected is entirely unclear. “The Last Days of the Space Age” strives for a slice-of-life atmosphere, but fails to transport the audience into that slice. This is a show that has nothing to say about it, I hope the wide cast of characters (and the fancy period costumes) somehow distract you from noticing.

AMD may have only released its new Zen 5 range less than two months ago, but the processor all gamers are waiting for is definitely the Ryzen 7 9800X3D – and it seems to be a lot closer than we thought. A few days after the first report that the 9800X3D would be released this year, another leak reconfirmed this by releasing promotional material about the CPU. It really looks like AMD is betting on the 9800X3D to be the best processor of the year. This isn’t the only sign of an impending launch.

A leaked slide comes from Moore’s Law Is Dead, who also cited his own anonymous sources when discussing the CPU. Before we get into the details, keep in mind that all of this has yet to be confirmed by AMD, even if the promotional material looks quite legitimate.

We only have one slide, but that’s a lot more than we would have gotten if launch was still months away. The slide reveals the packaging of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, accompanied by a pretty telling slogan: “This legend is unbeatable.” Moore’s Law Is Dead also claims that AMD is calling its new CPU the “ultimate processor for elite gaming.” From the sounds of it, AMD may not feel threatened by the impending launch of the Intel Core Ultra 200 (aka Arrow Lake) and can expect to retain the crown for best gaming CPU.

Aside from the slide, Moore’s Law Is Dead shared some other interesting news about the processor. The 9800X3D is reportedly the only one launching in 2024, as it’s listed internally on a “2024 Products” page. The Ryzen 9 9900X3D and 9950X3D, which are also expected to launch this generation, are missing – meaning we may not see them until 2025. That’s actually not bad news, as many of us never expected to see the 9800X3D so early in late October or early November – which, according to leakers, is currently the expectation.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is said to have 104MB of combined cache and may finally offer more serious overclocking support, as one of the YouTuber sources claims it is “designed for higher frequencies.” Surprisingly, while the X3D processors typically sell very well, AMD may be bundling them with a game: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Speaking of sales, Moore’s Law Is Dead isn’t the only source we have that points to an imminent release of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D; The strongest indicator is the rising price and low supply of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. We’ve noticed that the 7800X3D has seen a price increase recently and figured it might have something to do with the launch of the now-hardly-available Ryzen 5 7600X3D. However, with new information about the 9800X3D, it’s all starting to add up.

We can’t be sure of anything until AMD themselves spread the word, but given these leaks, we could actually see the Ryzen 7 9800X3D soon. If you’re thinking about buying a CPU, it might be better to wait and see how the new chip’s price pans out if and when it’s announced.

Eni Aluko says men have started to “dominate” coaching and broadcasting in women’s football since she became the first female Match of the Day pundit.

A decade after Aluko broke one of the remaining glass ceilings in men’s football, he lamented that the sport had subsequently “taken steps backwards” in key areas.

The former Chelsea and England star used her LinkedIn profile to analyze the state of women’s participation in coaching and broadcasting, in response to a post to mark her 10th anniversary debut on the BBC’s flagship football show.

This post from talent agency Tongue Tied Management said: “10 years ago today, Eniola Aluko MBE made history by becoming the first woman to serve as an expert on Match of the Day.

“As an agency we had been pushing for this for years and Jo Tongue MBE from Tongue Tied Management worked hard behind the scenes to make it happen.

“Since then, Eni has paved the way for women’s participation in men’s football, both in the specialist literature and in the commentary. A huge thank you to BBC, ITV, Sky, Amazon Prime and TNT Sports for their continued support of women in men’s football.

“There is still a long way to go, but we are so proud of what Eni has achieved so far.”

Aluko responded in writing: “Forever grateful to Jo Tongue MBE & Tongue Tied Management for the love and respect that I have recognized 10 years since my first appearance on Match of the Day as the first female footballer to join MOTD.” Jo and I were convinced that women should have a prominent voice in football.

“I would like to be able to say that in 10 years we have made progress in terms of women in football broadcasting. In some ways we have taken a step backwards.”

Aluko then went on to list where the game fell short: “1. Several channels still only have a maximum of one or two regular expert spots for women. FYI: Experts and moderators are two different roles.

“2. Men now dominate broadcasting (and coaching) in women’s football because there is more money available. These include male agents with exploitative, financially motivated agendas in women’s football, demanding 20% ​​commissions on salaries that are nowhere near the level of men’s football. Women can never dominate men’s football in the same way.

“3. Sexism, misogyny and racism are still widespread in football fan culture. Some football broadcasters need to quickly improve their duty of care towards professionals who experience such abuse. Sexism, misogyny and racism are not “part of the job”.

“There’s still a long way to go.”

Aluko is regularly the victim of racist and misogynistic insults on social media. Joey Barton will stand trial next year for a malicious communications offense against Aluko. Barton pleaded not guilty in connection with the X-posts that compared her and colleague Lucy Ward to notorious serial killers Fred and Rose West.

Aluko also sued Barton for alleged defamation following the posts.

With more and more moviegoers staying at home to watch films on various platforms, Sony India has launched a range of Bravia branded TVs with the theme ‘Cinema is Coming Home’, promising an immersive movie-watching experience at home.

The company has roped in film director SS Rajamouli as a brand ambassador to lead the promotion of its new TV series.

Sony India managing director Sunil Nayyar said the OTT market is catching up quickly in the country.

“The OTT market is expected to reach ₹210 billion in the next two years. Compare this to the current ₹260 billion cinema market. The OTT market, which was worth Rs 130 billion in 2022, is growing at a compound annual growth rate of 14.1 percent,” he said.

However, the cinema market stagnated with slow growth rates. “The cinema market was ₹242 billion in 2022-23,” he pointed out. “High-quality content is offered on OTT platforms that feature top technologies such as Dolby, 4K HDR, DTS and IMAX. Mainstream celebrities are also using OTT platforms,” he said.

Stating that the sales growth of large TV screens (55 inches and above) is increasing rapidly in the country, their share in the overall TV set market grew significantly.

“The Cinema is Coming Home concept is not just a product launch but a lifestyle change for film lovers, allowing them to recreate cinematic experiences in the comfort of their own homes,” he said.

“This concept is important for three main reasons: cinematic image and sound; Vibrance and a sense of immersion that traditional TVs can’t offer, and studio calibration. By working with Netflix, Prime Video and Sony Pictures Core, we offer the picture quality intended by their creators,” he said.

The BRAVIA 9 Series leads the lineup with MasterDrive backlit technology with high peak luminance, excellent contrast and natural colors that provide a realistic viewing experience.

A few days ago, Dell Technologies teamed up with Red Hat Inc. to bring the Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI) platform to its popular PowerEdge servers, paving the way for its hardware to serve as the foundation for can serve AI development.

The idea behind this partnership was to make it easier for companies to scale their IT infrastructure to support successful AI and ML strategies without having to host these workloads in the cloud. They can deploy Dell’s PowerEdge servers in their own on-premises data centers or, alternatively, use them as part of a larger hybrid cloud setup.

In addition to its partnership with Dell, Red Hat recently introduced Enterprise Linux AI, aimed primarily at developers. A good example is a bootable RHEL image with pre-configured AI libraries like PyTorch, which allows users to quickly set up an AI-ready environment without having to go through complex installation and configuration processes.

AMD is also very active in supporting AMD GPUs on Linux and recently released the AMD XDNA Linux Driver v3, which is crucial for enabling the Ryzen AI Neural Processing Unit (NPU) on Linux systems. It will likely be integrated into the Linux kernel 6.13.

Linux-centric companies like openSUSE are helping keep AI accessible. For example, openSUSE was listed on Hugging Face and made the first contribution to a dataset called cavil-licence-patterns, which aims to provide more advanced and accurate detection of license issues and compliance.

Red Hat’s contribution

RHEL AI combines several key components to create a powerful foundation for AI innovation. The focus is on the open source Granite models, a family of LLMs developed by IBM Research. These models are complemented by InstructLab, an open source project that makes it easier to experiment and fine-tune models.

This allows domain experts without extensive data science knowledge to contribute to AI models. All of these components are packaged in a bootable Red Hat Enterprise Linux image, streamlining deployment in hybrid cloud environments.

This approach leans more towards ethical AI. Many of Red Hat’s customers couldn’t get anywhere near AI due to copyright issues, but this is essentially the most ethical form AI can take.

Red Hat’s approach addresses several challenges in adopting AI in enterprises. By leveraging open source principles, RHEL AI lowers the barriers to entry for AI innovations and makes them more accessible to a broader range of organizations. The platform offers up to 50% lower costs compared to similar solutions, making AI development more economical for companies.

One Reddit user praised the closed integration with CI/CD, mentioning that you can create and share host images the same way you would container images, and that developers and operators can now use the exact same image in a container or as a bare-bones version. Can run Metal on the host.

“The technology is great, but it’s when it’s integrated into your development, build and deployment pipeline that the magic happens. “It’s not a huge leap forward, just a few modest but extremely useful steps forward,” he added.

Linux is very important for AI developers

Developers advocate using Linux to train models. A developer on Reddit mentioned that compiling applications is much easier with Linux and if he uses Windows for the same task, he has to try to find the VS 2022 launcher, download it and run it, and Google to see which one Options he has to tick. All this coupled with several GB of unnecessary dependencies that he doesn’t want to have anyway.

“Then I have to go to the NVIDIA website, download and install the CUDA Toolkit. Then I need CMAKE, download it and install it. If everything works, compiling will take about 25 minutes. On Arch Linux, just type pacman -S base-devel cuda and you’re good to go. Compiling takes about 5-10 minutes. and the inference is also ~25% faster” he added, suggesting that Linux is efficient not only at compiling but also at inferencing.

Efforts like RHEL AI are important to the Linux community because almost everything related to AI is researched and developed on Linux, ultimately making it a more efficient platform for training and using AI models.

In most cases, you are just one command away from setting up the AI ​​development environment and it works simply by spending hours on Windows to configure the AI ​​development environment.

Common and Pete Rock have released the visually stunning new video for their song “When The Sun Shines Again,” from their first full-length collaboration The Auditorium, Vol. 1which was released this summer via Loma Vista Recordings. The video features Posdnuos by Bilal and De La Soul and was produced by Pete Rock. Directed by Marleaux Desire and ILLIMITEWORD, the video brings the song’s themes to life through creative and striking visuals.

Last Friday the duo completed their 19th stop The Auditorium Tour at Webster Hall in New York City. This performance follows their sold-out three-day (six-show) run at the legendary Blue Note Jazz Club earlier this week, where they wowed fans with their genre-bending live sets.

Earlier this month, Common and Pete Rock received four nominations at the BET Hip Hop Awards, including Best Duo/Group and Impact Track for their song “Fortunate.” Common also received an award for Lyricist of the Year, while Pete Rock was nominated for Producer of the Year.
