Chinese EV buyers are cooling on Tesla and BYD

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-15 23:59:10

If Tesla was hoping that decent sales in China might boost the company's fast-diminishing profits, it was a forlorn hope. For the second month in a row, the automaker has experienced a year-on-year decrease in sales in China. According to Reuters, Tesla's sales dropped by 4 percent in August compared to the same month in 2024. That's not quite as dire as July, where it saw Chinese sales decrease by 8.4 percent. Much of Tesla's Shanghai factory's slack was taken up by exporting EVs to other mark

Big Tech Companies in the US Have Been Told Not to Apply the Digital Services Act

wired.com Mila Fiordalisi 2025-10-18 23:00:00

Trouble is brewing for the Digital Services Act (DSA), the landmark European law governing big tech platforms. On August 21, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), sent a scathing letter to a number of tech giants, including Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple. The letter's subject: the European Digital Services Act cannot be applied if it jeopardizes freedom of expression and, above all, the safety of US citizens. The opening of the letter—signed by FTC chairman Andrew Ferguson—features a

Neuralink 'Participant 1' says his life has changed

The room, filled with Neuralink employees, erupted in applause as Arbaugh—who dislocated two of his vertebrae in a swimming accident in 2016 and has since lost sensation and movement below his shoulders—smiled ear to ear in his chair, a red Texas A&M hat planted on his hea

How can AI ID a cat?

Look at a picture of a cat, and you’ll instantly recognize it as a cat. But try to program a computer to recognize cat photos, and you’ll quickly realize that it’s far from straightforward. You’d need to write code to pinpoint the quintessential quality shared by countless cats in photos with distinctive backgrounds and taken from different camera angles. Where would you even begin? These days, computers can easily recognize photos of cats, but that’s not because a clever programmer discovered

A Race to Save a Signature American Tree from a Deadly Disease

I am hardly alone among gardeners who have called upon a copper-leaved European beech tree to play a key landscape role. A majestic one punctuates my view each time I look up from my desk or from the dining table a floor below. In the woodlands beyond my property line, American beeches play an outsize role, too, but hardly one based on mere aesthetics.

The Emperor's New Trade Deal – Paul Krugman

news.ycombinator.com Paul Krugman 2025-11-30 21:26:33

On Tuesday Donald Trump went on CNBC to explain why the European Union is facing a tariff of “only” 15 percent. But what he said was simply delusional — and the delusion should be even more concerning than the tariffs. The Europeans, Trump asserted, had agreed to cough up $600 billion, which he described as a “gift,” not a loan. And he emphasized that this is “$600 billion to invest in anything I want. Anything. I can do anything I want with it.” So Trump apparently believes that the European
