Those 10K range cars are much lower quality/battery/finish/size/etc... and that's before any shipping, taxes and likely adding any safety features required to adhere to rules to US/EU market.
Given it's selling in NL it will meet EU safety standards, but granted, that's a far cry from €10K and still very far removed from affordable / budget.
Note that I think the BYD quote of 29 or 30k euros is including VAT [1] which is 21% in the Netherlands. On the other hand the quote given above as the starting price in the US for the Mach-E not include sales tax. In the Netherlands (trying to compare apples to apples), the Mach-E is being sold for €75200 [2]. Significant price gap in that market.
You can get Mustang mach-e, basic for 46K (check ford.nl...), you are looking at the GT version there which is much much nicer compares to the 30k BYD.
You can gey hyundai kona starting from 37k with 65kwh battery as opposed to byd 44kwh for 30k. So more value for money.
Apples to Apples is Dacia Spring Extreme 44kwh for 23.5K with tax for same battery and features... much lower price then BYD
That BYD is equivalent to a 23.5K dacia spring extreme... so similar quality can be had cheaper.
American cars are much nicer (tesla?), or have better reputation then a recent foreign company with no accountability if they decide to pack up and leave customers stranded... Or if China decides to invade taiwan and get embargoed.
ACDSee old versions (2.6.1?) would preload the next image in memory while scrolling through a folder, making it extremely useful in the age of hard drives. It became bloated, but the only reasons to switch were for newer image formats, and sometimes .gifs would crash it.
FastStone Image Viewer is the performant, slick image viewer I use now.
IrfanView has some rough defaults like if you scroll to the end of a folder, a window pops up that you have to click away before you can scroll back. I use it all the time for simple editing, not viewing.
It's what you'd like if your idea of simplicity is dragging and dropping one folder to another, but want to more closely see what files have changed before the copy.
As an aside, I get irritated as all heck by the old, previously useful reddit threads that now show up in search results but with the actually useful information deleted by someone in a fit of rage. This is frustrating, since the information is not necessarily easy to find somewhere else. Or at all.
If you find that you must do this, could you at least re-host your answers elsewhere and link to them?
I wonder if we've surpassed "peak publicly searchable discussion". It definitely seems harder to find quick answers to obscure topics than it used to be 2-3 years ago.
LLMs will gladly hallucinate something, but given that this stuff is literally the training data that could help ground them in truth, I wonder where we're going to go next.
Of course we have passed it. The moment LLM training happened was when everyone started locking down access to their data or increasing costs of developer API access - twitter/x have done similar things, and quora etc.
Now the corpus of user questions/answers, posts and so on has real value as machine learning training data it’s hardly surprising this is happening - no one wants to “give away the farm” to a rival LLM product bootstrapped on data that was too easy to scrape.
For older readers who remember the buzz about web2.0 in early 2000s and everything would be a public api or feed - the recent history of the web now has almost been the opposite. Examples of this are everywhere - RSS is essentially dead, news readers died, people are trying to put podcasts behind proprietary systems (Spotify) etc etc, more and more data is hidden behind account walls, app binaries on mobile often only arrive from a mandatory store…
I mean yes, tons of discussion has moved to places like Discord to disappear forever.
But unlike the previous poster, who blames the information creator for revoking what they published, why are we not blaming the actual abusers? Every site that is build on growth, Facebook, Google, Reddit, et al eventually turns into an authoritarian capitalist nightmare dystopia. Gobble up, lock down, and extract wealth.
> tons of discussion has moved to places like Discord to disappear forever.
This is actually even worse than the new Reddit.
Every open source or other project that links to their Discord as a main place of providing support immediately loses a lot of respect from me: Chat is a horrible way of creating a searchable knowledge base.
Besides being opaque to search engines, it effectively signs up their users and contributors for either having to maintain parallel long-term-visible and searchable FAQs and other docs, or answering the same new user questions over and over again.
Having to publicly join a Discord (unlike Reddit there seems to be no way at all to browse anonymously) just to be able to see if anybody else has had my compile or setup error is completely unacceptable as well.
It sounds like you are blaming the authors of the actually useful information here.
There used to be an ecosystem: real people share their knowledge and experience, driving users to Reddit, and in exchange, Reddit provides free storage and a convenient collaboration environment.
I admit, it's not easy to monetize real people's contributions. But, regardless, the fact is, that Reddit destroyed this ecosystem. I can no longer use Reddit conveniently. And as a mildly active OP on Reddit I don't see, why Reddit should keep benefiting from my contributions while I can no longer benefit from Reddit. I think it's fair.
Not vegetarians in general. But there are certain largely vegetarian castes and communities, a majority of whose members have consistently shown bigoted and casteist behaviors towards the lower caste members, so much that those entire communities and castes are considered that way by the lower castes. Of course, exceptions are always there - it's likely that even a large majority of those castes aren't hostile to non-vegetarianism, but a small vocal minority is extremely hostile to compensate for that.
This reflects in other ways. For example, it's well known that in many cities, only certain castes are allowed to rent or buy apartments within certain housing societies and colonies, the excuse used being vegetarianism (and that non-veg cooking stinks, etc.). Many of my friends who are non-vegetarians have to stick to vegetarian food at home, and only eat non-vegetarian on the occasional outing.
That video is classic LTT; interesting idea terribly executed which leads to incorrect conclusions. The latency difference doesn’t matter to humans, but wired is faster.
How can they be? Assuming you're using a usb dongle, the interface is exactly the same. Only the wireless has an extra wireless path in the connection.
There's just no way it can be faster, only equal or slower.

This is the part that really concerns me, to be honest. The main meaning of "prurient" is "characterized by an inordinate interest in sex."
The main reason this concerns me is because some people believe LGBTQ issues to be inherently sexual; and thus this law could be used to suppress general LGBTQ content as well as pornography. It depends on who enforces it and who interprets it, of course. But when you consider it in light of the hundreds of anti-LGBTQ bills filed this year alone, it just worries me.
I don't use kagi. On WA, this search results in the answer with a prompt with the engine's assumptions, and includes a link to change the assumption to "math" from "word."
These prompts don't show on kagi? Seems like including them would be an avenue for improvement.
I don't think they were decrying the use of Angstroms, but rather the continued use of size-based terminology that has become decoupled from the actual size of any physical features.
I think they meant fake as in "doesn't relate to any size of the transistors", as the gate/metal pitch sizes are e.g. 40 nm and 54 nm respectively for Intel's "7nm" node [0], even the fin pitch is 34 nm, so almost 5 times bigger than the marketing term would like to imply.
It does not refer to the physical size of any element or feature of the chips.
It's the marketing department's claim about what you'd have had to do to achieve "equivalent performance" using geometries (and probably other things) that are no longer used. Or to put it another way it's completely untethered from reality in every way.
