James Mardsen’s Happy to Be Cyclops Again for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-12-03 15:00:11

After The Marvels and Deadpool & Wolverine laid the groundwork for more Fox X-Men to return, Avengers: Doomsday is going all in by bringing back several non-Wolverine (or Professor X) characters from the original films. Among them is James Marsden, who played Cyclops in that initial trilogy and didn’t really get to do much in them. Speaking to Vanity Fair, the actor recalled “20 years of listening to people say, ‘When are you coming back? When are you coming back? Are you coming back?’ But I’m

After a disastrous 72 hours that saw its most loyal users in open revolt, OpenAI is making a major U-turn. In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) Sunday, CEO Sam Altman announced that the company is bringing back its beloved older AI models, including GPT-4o, and dramatically increasing usage limits for paying subscribers, a clear peace offering to a furious customer base. The move comes just days after the botched rollout of GPT-5, the company’s latest and most powerful model. The launc

AI Designs Super Safe Sub for Billionaires to Ride Into the Depths of the Ocean

Billionaires have, for a few years now, been insisting that artificial intelligence is clever enough to take huge swaths of jobs while curing disease and solving the energy crisis. As such, we presume that the loudest among them will be first in line to test out a super-safe submersible created by AI to avoid the sort of snafus that resulted in the Titan sub's tragic implosion, which killed its creator and his four well-heeled friends while they were exploring the wreckage of another downed ves

Sena S1 Smart Cycling Helmet Review: Listen to Everything

wired.com Michael Venutolo-Mantovani 2025-12-03 12:30:00

One of the most important senses we have as bike riders is our hearing. Whether you're in a group ride, where other riders are calling out road and traffic hazards, or alone, to keep ears out for vehicles or other rides coming from our rear, our ears are nearly as essential as our eyes. Bone-conduction headphones—which sit outside the ears and deliver sound through vibration—have been around for some time.

This is the Android 17 codename, and it’s not what you guessed

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority For most of Android’s history, Google publicly referred to each release by a version number and a codename. Traditionally, the codename was a dessert like Marshmallow, Jelly Bean, or Froyo. With the release of Android 10 in 2019, however, Google ended this public practice to make its branding more globally accessible. Internally, though, the company’s developers kept the sweet tradition alive. Following that tradition, Google’s developers have recently decided

Which colors are primary?

news.ycombinator.com James Gurney 2025-11-29 09:06:45

Artists traditionally refer to red, yellow, and blue as primary colors. These three colors were once believed to be the essential set for mixing a broad palette in painting. Following this line of thinking, violet, green and orange become secondary colors because they’re mixed from the primaries. However, for more than a century, both scientific understanding and practical experience has shown that cyan, magenta, and yellow are more efficient for subtractive mixing with pigments, producing clea
