3 months agoThe funny thing about air conditioning fluids, is that we are actually moving from HFC to propane and ammonia, due their green house effect.
Aka the thing that CFC were supposed to replace because they were safer.
It is a circle.

7·4 months agoThis isn’t true anymore, Intel dropped AVX512 since they moved to Big+Small cores design while AMD actually implemented it with Zen 4.
This could be useful for making synthetic aviation fuel at scale. Need methane + hydrogen + lot of energy.
Copper is abundant compared to the other rare earth catalysts, thus reducing cost.
10·4 months agoThe 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.

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.
2·6 months agoThe 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”
7·7 months agoSo 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.
3·8 months agoPneumatic 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.
3·8 months agoTLDR : 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.
2·8 months agoPlease 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
5·9 months agoIt 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.
9·9 months agoYou 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 also use the DS4, I’m impressed by the work Sony have done there, especially by the out of the box support for gyro. No configuration for Dophin, Citras and Yuzu (and their forks). Literally easier than on Windows.
