I was not aware of the 10% base duty for all cars into EU.
But the rates you state are general for a brand, but do not account for per model negotiations:

https://www.reuters.com/world/china/eu-tariffs-imports-china-made-evs-2026-02-11/

Carmakers can now negotiate tariff exemptions for individual electric models imported from China.

Cupra Tavascan has achieved a 0% duty, and Tesla is 7.8%.
I suspect several of the more popular Chinese models, have negotiated lower rates too.

Interesting how different Ryzen and Core Ultra have become, Ryzen with 6 dual threaded cores, and Intel with 6 P cores and 12 E cores that are all single threaded. Intel clearly win the overall performance here, which they should with 3 times as many cores and 50% higher power consumption, and that considered Intel multi threading is a bit underwhelming compared to AMD IMO.

With the 50% higher power draw om the Intel, you need a way better cooler, or it will get noisy under high loads.
I guess both CPU’s are good options, but personally I kind of favor the AMD as a more elegant solution IMO, and also longer motherboard lifespan, that probably will make it possible to make a cheap upgrade in a couple of years, just swapping the CPU for something twice as powerful.

On my current but ancient 350B motherboard from 2017, I’m on my third updated Ryzen CPU! Starting at a modest Ryzen R5 1600, and now I have an R7 5800X. Which is still modest, but good enough for me.

Ai work is usually very low precision.

Apparently 😋

I don’t understand how FP4 is useful for anything, unless I misunderstand it only uses 4 bits, and with 4 bit’s you can only have 16 different values?! With FP4 this is even reduced to 15 values as the first digit signifies negative, so 0000 and 1000 are both zero.

If you are in the USA, I think so. Probably including January and February.
The illegal war against Iran however, could throw the global economy into a recession very quickly.
And the only ones to blame are Israel and USA.

How does Trump idiocy suddenly reflect on Iran losing the narrative?
Seems to me that Iran has taken control of the narrative, while USA and Israel are losing it completely.

OK, obviously I mean you can’t contain it 100% like with other things. Hydrogen will always slowly seep out of any container.
I have edited the post to reflect the 100%, specifically in your honor.

I never claimed you can’t store Hydrogen, it’s not a big problem for short term storage, but you can’t store it like you can everything else.

Transport will always be necessary, and we’ve done it with oil based fuels for more than a century.
Even electricity requires transportation through wires, to charge an EV, and when charged the car needs to transport the electricity with it in a battery.
AFAIK the waste transporting electricity in the electric grid is about 10% on average.

But I agree that the way we transport electricity is way more elegant and practical.

the technology does not scale.

And exactly how do you conclude that? That quad propeller Airbus design is at least 100 passengers, and Airbus say you can also burn Hydrogen directly in jet engines.

IDK, I guess they expect that with the societies broken and Arab countries abandoning USA, they will be the only country left standing.
It’s insane, just about as insane as it was for USA to enter the war.

You obviously don’t understand the difference between hydrogen and every other form of gas. Another issue with hydrogen is that it is extremely chemically active, and will make steel brittle.
But you just continue your arrogant ignorance.
Of course there will always be a “best” form of container, but you can never make a perfect container that actually contains it completely, like you can with everything else.

Of course hydrogen tanks exist, but you are very naive if you don̈́’t recognize there’s an issue with storing hydrogen.
Hydrogen has extremely low density and requires very high pressure for storage, and the fact that Hydrogen permeates EVERYTHING, there is obviously leakage from ANY tank!!

IDK, Netanyahu wants to destabilize the entire middle east, so Israel can be the #1 dominant force there, seems like Iran is helping him a lot with that.
I bet that to him a few casualties in Israel is just collateral damage.

Anyways, if it’s going bad for Israel, that makes me happy. Israel 100% needs to be reigned in.
If it’s going bad for Trump that also makes me happy, because Republicans need to get seriously unpopular in USA, then maybe a path will finally be opened for USA to progress away from their sociopathic polices.

For USA this is 100% moronic, because USA had a lot of control of the middle east, and this will make USA lose a lot possibly all of that.

Or Trump just claims the Saudis could do more to help, and their failure to do so makes it their own fault.

up to 45%

13% is about average, brands that cooperate with EU have lower rates, obviously brands that export to EU cooperate.
AFAIK no brand is paying anything near 45%.

I’m not sure Trump would care very much about that, what difference does it make to him if a bunch of Muslims don’t have water?
He might even see that as a win/win.
To Trump it’s all about the oil, and increasing oil prices making it harder for him (Republicans) to win the mid terms, even with all the cheating they have planned.

6 months of the year, homeless people would freeze to death

True, but that does surprisingly little to prevent homelessness.
In Nordic countries homelessness is mostly due to mental illness and drug abuse.
In USA you can end up homeless because you got just a little bit unlucky, and got sick and lost your job, and can’t pay even the basic bills. By a little bit unlucky, I mean it may be very bad in USA, but here we at least have healthcare for all, and we have regulation that ensures we get paid during sick leave.

Finland has actually tried to do something about it, contrary to USA where homelessness is borderline illegal, and the main policy against it is harassment to make them go somewhere else. Finland is a civilized society, USA is a sociopathic society.

That said, homelessness is a challenge, but Finland has a program they call “housing first” to help prevent it, that has turned out to work better than what most countries do.

Fuel cell planes:

The ZeroAvia is an actually working plane:

In August 2021, ZeroAvia completed its first high-power run of the ZA-600, a hydrogen aircraft engine.

So they’ve existed for years now, and the concept is proven.
