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

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.

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”

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.

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

And nowadays you have randomized MAC addresses on IPV6.

The thing is that semi fab are extremely fragile. For example, there was a Samsung memory fab where a few minutes of electricity black out killed months of production.

Basically it is impossible to protect Taiwan’s fab. Those fab, by being the best in the world, are actually Taiwan’s best line of defense. As soon as they lose this advantage, they are doomed.

Thankfully cobalt isn’t cheap. The latest trend in EV battery technology is to move away from it

Either by using Nickel rich chemistry in NMC battery or ditching it altogether and replacing it by LFP.

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.

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.
