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.
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"
> GPT-4o (“o” for “omni”) is a step towards much more natural human-computer interaction—it accepts as input any combination of text, audio, and image and generates any combination of text, audio, and image outputs. It can respond to audio inputs in as little as 232 milliseconds, with an average of 320 milliseconds, which is similar to human response time(opens in a new window) in a conversation. It matches GPT-4 Turbo performance on text in English and code, with significant improvement on text in non-English languages, while also being much faster and 50% cheaper in the API. GPT-4o is especially better at vision and audio understanding compared to existing models.
>Prior to GPT-4o, you could use Voice Mode to talk to ChatGPT with latencies of 2.8 seconds (GPT-3.5) and 5.4 seconds (GPT-4) on average. To achieve this, Voice Mode is a pipeline of three separate models: one simple model transcribes audio to text, GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 takes in text and outputs text, and a third simple model converts that text back to audio. This process means that the main source of intelligence, GPT-4, loses a lot of information—it can’t directly observe tone, multiple speakers, or background noises, and it can’t output laughter, singing, or express emotion.
> GPT-4o’s text and image capabilities are starting to roll out today in ChatGPT. We are making GPT-4o available in the free tier, and to Plus users with up to 5x higher message limits. We'll roll out a new version of Voice Mode with GPT-4o in alpha within ChatGPT Plus in the coming weeks.
French president Emmanuel Macron announced the project aiming at producing decarbonised nitrogenous fertilisers at the "Choose France" summit, an annual meeting of international business leaders at the Château de Versailles, on Monday 13 May.
The document urged the EU to break away from dependence on Russian fertilisers, by investing in innovation on made-in-Europe production and developing alternatives using chemical nitrogen.
FertigHy wants to replace hydrogen – a key element in the production of nitrogen fertilisers – currently produced from natural gas with hydrogen produced by electricity.
Initially planned for Spain, the plant will be built in France and will use electricity generated from nuclear and renewable sources, emitting reduced levels of CO2.
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.
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.
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 ?
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.
France will ban the selling of single-use e-cigarettes by 2025, French Health Minister Aurélien Rousseau announced on Tuesday during a National Tobacco Control Program (PNLT) presentation, while increasing tobacco taxation.
Les ambassadeurs de l’UE se réunissent mercredi (4 octobre) à quelques jours d’un conseil de l’UE décisif pour la réforme du marché européen de l’électricité. La France défend toujours la possibilité de contrats préférentiels sur ses actifs nucléaires existants, afin de maintenir la concurrence et a...
> Dans le cadre de la réforme du marché européen, la France s’escrime pour que ses actifs nucléaires existants puissent être couverts par des contrats d’écart compensatoire bidirectionnel (contracts for difference, CfD, en anglais).
> Ce type de contrat permet de fixer un couloir de prix de vente de l’électricité sur le marché de gros européen. Si le prix de vente est inférieur au plancher du couloir défini, l’État paye la différence au producteur. Au-dessus du plafond, le producteur rémunère l’État.
> des CfD sur le nucléaire existant permettraient de maintenir la concurrence sur le marché français de l’électricité, tel que le faisait le dispositif d’accès régulé à l’énergie nucléaire historique (ARENH) institué en 2011 et voué à disparaître au 31 décembre 2025.
> L’ARENH permet aux concurrents de la branche «fourniture» d’EDF, les fournisseurs dits «alternatifs», d’accéder à une partie de la production nucléaire de l’électricien français à des prix préférentiels.
> l’ARENH n’a pas tenu l’ensemble de ses promesses, notamment sur la libéralisation parallèle du marché de la production d’électricité.
Nuclear power was reintroduced as one of the preferred green technologies to revitalise Europe's industry, according to a political agreement struck by lawmakers in the European Parliament on the bloc's proposed Net-Zero Industry Act.
>Initially, the European Commission proposed two lists, one of which included so-called “strategic” technologies subject to a 40% domestic manufacturing target and fast-track permitting procedures.
>However, this list did not feature nuclear power, a move that sparked outrage among its advocates on social media, particularly in France.
>However, things took a new turn on Tuesday.
>The compromise list now includes renewable energy technologies, nuclear fission and fusion technologies, energy storage, carbon capture and storage (CCS), hydrogen transport infrastructure, and electrolysers, among others. >
