That the thing that I kinda have trouble understanding.

The big multinationals are expert at extracting profits out of national economies and putting it in tax havens.

If they boycott Russia and get replaced by Russian copies, wouldn’t the Russian state get a larger share of profits ?

This is x86_64. AMD had a joint venture with hygon and made a Zen 1 CPU with them.

According to the paper, about twice as much.

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 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.

It is the Eurotram at Strasbourg

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…)

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”

Sorry to dive in DE land like that, but WTF is the chaotic neutral ?! There is no seat ?

So far seem to be an uneventful upgrade.

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

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.

Pneumatic tires have always been made of vulcanised rubber though. Natural rubber is way too soft to hold up in this application.

Vulcanised rubber is a bio-based plastic, but being bio-sourced has nothing do with it being biodegradable. And vulcanised rubber isn’t.

There are bio-based-plastics that aren’t biodegradable, and fossil-based plastics that are biodegradable.

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

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

TLDR : The US doesn’t have regulations on the maximal allowed deceleration before brake light activation. But the EU does.

Seem to be mostly a Hyundai/Kia thing that they are currently fixing.

Please do not use this map projection. It is unambiguously trash. It distord shapes way to much. There are much better equal area projections, like Eckert IV or mollweide

Because this is the natural state of a market. Everything end up roughly at the same price, the price that buyers are willing to pay.

It depend.

“Machine à laver” (washing machine) = female

“Lave linge” (laundry washer) = male

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.
