  • Worldwide diesel/kerosene biofuel production is too low. Last time airbus made a demo on 100% biofuel made from algae, they bought the output of a whole year to run a single long haul flight.

    There is a reason they say Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and not biofuel. They also need e-fuel / synthetic fuel made from hydrogen in addition to biofuel.

  • 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.

  • So the UK pulled out of EASA because they didn't want to follow them.

    And then they still want to follow EASA rules and want EASA to follow UK rules (basically EASA) in reciprocy ?!

    It is moronic, just accept EASA regulations like about the whole world. No one is going to accept a regulation regime that fundamentally diverge from either the EASA or FAA.

  • The 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.

  • This 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.

  • 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...)

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

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

  • It depend.

    "Machine à laver" (washing machine) = female

    "Lave linge" (laundry washer) = male

  • 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.

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

  • This map is great, time and space wise
