You Can See Everything Reveals What Elizabeth Holmes Is Really Up to

No major spoilers! Read with confidence! Can you witness so much but tell so little? So went the question in the movie — and, maybe even more important, outside of it — as Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim‘s Elizabeth Holmes doc You Can See Everything premiered at the New York Film Festival Wednesday night. Until now only audiences who had made their way to Telluride had witnessed the burgeoning phenomenon that is YCSE. But the Lincoln Center screening Wednesday night offered a glimpse of what will come when the buzzy and well-reviewed portrait opens in just over two weeks — an urbane audience of 1,100 (with dozens more waiting hopefully on standby lines outside) screaming with such gusto at every plot twist that you’d think A24 was re-releasing Midsommar, not putting out a three-hour documentary about a disgraced Silicon Valley founder. Yet scream they did. “You know the one minute of the teaser that made the world, or at least the Internet, lose its collective mind?” NYFF programming chief Dennis Lim said on-stage introducing the …

GB News presenter Eamonn Holmes admitted to hospital after stroke

TV presenter Eamonn Holmes is in hospital following a stroke, GB News has said. The 66-year-old is “responding well to treatment”, according to the statement. “Eamonn was taken ill last week and it was later confirmed he had suffered a stroke,” the broadcaster announced. The statement added that his “colleagues and everyone at GB News wish him a speedy recovery”, with CEO Angelos Frangopoulos describing Holmes as a “loved member of the GB News family”. Holmes joined GB News in 2022 to present its breakfast programme, having previously hosted ITV chat show This Morning. Fellow GB News presenter Alex Armstrong will stand in for Holmes while he recovers in the coming week, the channel said. In recent years, Holmes has been candid about his “horrendous” health issues, stating that he largely uses a wheelchair and requires carers “throughout the day”. The broadcaster has been struggling with chronic back pain since 2021. He later discovered that the pain was caused by three slipped disks. Holmes – who had also dislocated his pelvis – underwent spinal surgery, …

The mathematical crimes of the Young Sherlock Holmes series

The mathematical crimes of the Young Sherlock Holmes series

Warning this article contains spoilers about the new Amazon Prime series Young Sherlock. I’ve read the whole Sherlock Holmes canon multiple times over. I love how Holmes uses analytical reasoning to unravel problems that look mysterious, but ultimately prove to have simple explanations. So I was excited when I saw Guy Ritchie’s Young Sherlock appear on Amazon Prime. My excitement was quickly tempered when I started watching, though. A key part of the plot relies on mathematics. Holmes first meets his sidekick Moriarty (yes, he is working together with his future adversary) at the blackboard after a maths lecture at Oxford. Despite some mistakes in the dialogue, the maths on the blackboard is interesting enough. It is finding the solutions to the equation x5 + x4 + x3 + x2 + x + 1 = 0. As shown nicely in this video, the equation has five solutions. In the maths many of us will have learned at school, we are taught that a positive times a positive makes a positive and that a negative times …
