Honda Is Giving Up on the All-Electric Dream

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-12-07 15:15:49

Honda just dealt a huge blow to the all-electric dream. In a stunning reversal, the Japanese auto giant has announced it is rethinking its electrification strategy, signaling that battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) are no longer the holy grail of its future. The move is a major setback for the EV industry, which is already reeling from the September 30 expiration of federal tax credits that made electric cars competitive with their gas-powered counterparts. For years, the auto industry, mesmerize

‘Wednesday’ Showrunner Confirms We’ve Seen the Last of Xavier Thorpe

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-12-07 17:00:46

It turns out that Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) was right to leave Xavier Thorpe (Percy Hynes White) on ‘read’ after he gifted her a cell phone at the end of season one. Better yet, during season two of Tim Burton’s Wednesday, we see her throw the phone into a boiling pot before returning to Nevermore Academy, only to find that Xavier had been transferred to another supernatural school. It’s an abrupt end to a significant character from season one—but intentionally so, on the production team’s behal

Achieving 10,000x training data reduction with high-fidelity labels

Classifying unsafe ad content has proven an enticing problem space for leveraging large language models (LLMs). The inherent complexity involved in identifying policy-violating content demands solutions capable of deep contextual and cultural understanding, areas of relative strength for LLMs over traditional machine learning systems. But fine-tuning LLMs for such complex tasks requires high-fidelity training data that is difficult and expensive to curate at the necessary quality and scale. Stan

Leak Reveals the Workaday Lives of North Korean IT Scammers

Job hunting is a fresh kind of hell. Hours are wasted sifting through open roles, tweaking cover letters, dealing with obtuse recruiters—and that’s all before you get started with potential interviews. Arguably, some of the world’s most prolific job applicants—or at least most persistent—are those of North Korea’s sprawling IT worker schemes. For years, Kim Jong Un’s repressive regime has successfully sent skilled coders abroad where they’re tasked with finding remote work and sending money back

OpenAI just released its first ever open-source large language models, called gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b. You can talk to them here. Are they good models? Well, that depends on what you’re looking for. They’re great at some benchmarks, of course (OpenAI would never have released them otherwise) but weirdly bad at others, like SimpleQA. Some people really like them. Others on Twitter really don’t. From what I can tell, they’re technically competent but lack a lot of out-of-domain knowledge: fo
