The fact that reddit and its subreddits became huge echo chambers that downvote and challenge anything that isn't the current public opinion.

"Saw six" is pronounced like "saucisse" which mean sausage.

A 100% tariff is simply way too overkill. At this point it is not a tariff, but a straight up ban.

The aim of a tariff is making a fair competition between local products and imports, ultimately to lower prices for consumers.

What has been done here, is pure protectionism for the US companies that didn't invest enough in EV.

In the EU where we actually have Chinese competition, the cheapest EU-made EV (Citroën eC3) start at 23000€ and multiple models at this price point are coming in the next few years (Renault 5, VW ID2...)

And nowadays you have randomized MAC addresses on IPV6.

The offensive has failed to achieve the balloned expectations that came from talking about it non stop for months.

It is a result of current media climate.

I don't find the source anymore, but i saw a lifetime analysis about sodium ion batteries. Overall they are slighly worse than lithium ion due to higher energy input required during fabrication, despite better mineral availability.

The most common Na-ion batteries use Prussian Blue.

If you already didn't know, you can run locally some small models with an entry level GPU.

For example i can run Llama 3 8B or Mistral 7B on a 1060 3GB with Ollama. It is about as bad as GPT-3 turbo, so overall mildly useful.

Although there is quite a bit of controversy of what is an "open source" model, most are only "open weight"

Well since the US sanctions started, the chinese semiconductor industry went from being a multi generations late, government funded laughing stock, even for Chinese officials, to something that is now close to the best Intel and USA can make.

Both now are at 7nm non-EUV, only Taiwan is significantly ahead.

If anything the sanctions are counterproductive, instead of crippling the competition, they lit a fire under them.

They banned destrucive research for new rooms, because some researcher decade ago, enthusiastically drilled a bunch of holes to nowhere in order to do find them.

They still allowed the non destructive muon imaging a few year ago that heavily hinted to an unfound room.

The end result is that basically no one will be subject to this tax bracket.

It is high enough that everyone at that level will mainly get their real income from stock/loan which aren't salaries.

Having this tax bracket or not having it is, basically the same for the super wealthy. The real method to tax them is through capital tax, not income.

Yearly vs monthly wage.

You get ibuprofen in what ? 500 pack ?! Surely there is enough to kill yourself with this amount. How do you even finish it before it expire ?

This isn't true anymore, Intel dropped AVX512 since they moved to Big+Small cores design while AMD actually implemented it with Zen 4.

The carbon emission from anyone in a developed country is a gargantuan amount compared to the poorest people on earth, especially if you consider the share of CO2 emissions since the industrial revolution.

The "private jet class" you are talking about is the "peasant class" of the developed countrles.

No one want to be accountable, corporate blame it on consumers, consumer blame it on corporate, and the state doesn't want to act because they fear the backslash from both citizens and corporations.

We urgently need drastic change that will undoubtedly and severely lower our quality of life. No magic tech is coming to save us.

Heard about it in France.

So far seem to be an uneventful upgrade.

Defaulting to wayland for KDE6 on a nvidia GPU doesn’t seem to have broken anything

It depend.

"Machine à laver" (washing machine) = female

"Lave linge" (laundry washer) = male

It is incredible how overbloated their app are. I have no idea why every app need to integrate a social media feed, and be able book a taxi/takeout or whatever.

They seriously need to have a look at KISS principles.

People really tend to forget that natural gas + variable renewable energies is the current cheapest/more profitable option, but is overall non sustainable.

Storage + VRE is barely existent because energy provider aren't incentivised to build it.

I agree, we need to reverse the conspicuous consumerism that was promoted by corporate marketing departments. This is not going to be a simple task.

I also recommend to stay away from NTFS3. I had some files that i couldn't empty from the recycle bin, they just keep reappearing.

After a while NTFS3 straight up give up, it couldn't mount the partition due to NTFS errors. At this point NTFS3g still worked, and i moved everything to an ext4 partition.

I personally think that Tesla plan is to forcefully change the IRA bill that mandate CCS connector on all federally funded charging station.

With this bill, Tesla could lose their charging network advantage in the medium term, or even worse, be burdened by an obsolete "non-standard" in the long term.

The BYD Seagul at 12k$ is not really the type of car that could be successfully exported in western markets. The 30kwh battery is too small. I could see the upper trim with the larger battery being successful in Europe, but this is absolutely not going to work in USA.

A better comparison is the 27k$ made in china BYD seal vs the 38k$ made in USA Tesla model 3.

And also there is a massive price EV price war in China. I don't believe any of their EV manufacturers is currently making money at those prices.

Even when they exports to lower income countries like Thailand, they are significantly more expensive.

There are some countries where you can reclaim a few cents if you return your plastic PET bootles on a specialized container.

On this particular case, since the plastic isn't mixed with other incompatible plastics, the recyclability is actually really good, as good as paper/cardboard.

DLSS and especially FSR, are basically TAA repurposed for upscaling.

But contrary to the vast majority of TAA implementations, they are actually good.

Black box were Solid State Drive before SSD were common, the advantages of no moving parts are simply too high.

Yes, in the EU the minimum recording time was recently increased to 25h. It is not a tech limitation anymore. What is actually limiting are privacy concerns from misuse of the longer recording.

This map is great, time and space wise

Except PET from plastics bottles which is the only common plastic that is fully depolymerizable/ repolymerizable, instead of simply being remeltable.

Except Tesla, where regen power is always at the maximum level.
