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.

The hottest model now is flux, and the community is gravitating toward it after the failure of stable diffusion 3.

Tooling around it is still nascent and it is very demanding (12GB+ VRAM GPU highly recommended) so you could also start with Stable Diffusion XL, fairly mature at this point.

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.

The 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.

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

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"

 

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.

 

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.
