The idea wasn't to have them compete. The idea is to have "dissimilar redundancy", so that the US still would have a human-rated launch system with the ability to go to the ISS in case one of them gets grounded for whatever reason.
While that seems prudent, at the same time for how many years have we been beholden to russian launches because we didn’t have an american system at all after the shuttle? Seems like the sky didn’t fall during that time despite only one launch system we had to go to Kazakhstan to borrow. Kind of hard to justify the cost to the tax payer when the benefit they get is effectively zero since no new capabilities are present really: we could launch people to iss before and we can do that now too.
Given today's political climate, that seems extremely risky, especially since Russia has already officially announced the intent to discontinue cooperating with the ISS program
And besides, the purpose of aerospace spending on human spaceflight isn't just for the purpose of human spaceflight, but also for related capabilities.
Right, I forget we still burn billions on that nuclear arsenal capable of glassing the planet in a half hour should some 75 year olds in dc decide that is prudent.
EDIT: I checked, and for Denmark it’s just the bikes. It’s probably the same for most of the listed European countries.
Original comment: I _think_ that it’s not “real” ride sharing in many of the noted places. E.g. it shows Denmark, and in all my years living there I’ve never seen one. I’m pretty sure it’s illegal. I imagine they are just a front end for standard taxis.
Almost all EU countries have some ridesharing apps available in the cities. There are many apps though, and always only a couple of them compete in a particular country.
AFAIK it's the same with food delivery apps now. (Sometimes both the rides and the food delivery is done by the same company - e.g. Bolt.)
Haven't traveled to Denmark recently, but always use Bolt and/or Uber when traveling in Europe - can't recall a place where it wasn't available (Portugal, France, Latvia, Lithuania, Spain, Italy all had them from the top of my head).
The UX of NotePlan is amazing. It is very easy to start using , but It is much deeper and more elegant than you may assume if you only for a week or two.
The more you use it the more it will reveal its power and flexibility
It is one of the only products I know of that is fully committed to a being a bunch of markdown files as data while also using lots of database smarts.
Love it. One of the things we're focused on is getting better anatomical movement out of existing models. These models are great with animations like waves, cars, trains, flames, etc., but they struggle with people outside of basic movements. We're optimistic about future models, and we still think there are interesting, funny, exciting stories you can tell with what's available today!
A lot of comments confuse this with a different repo. It has nothing to do with the name. This project is/was a way to use LLM APIs on someone else's dime. It's the equivalent of "S3 4 free" where someone would collect exposed AWS credentials and use them to store their stuff.
This isn't about exposed credentials though. It would be like an autmatic image uploder that could pick an image hosting site such as imgur and upload the image for you and give you a link. Services are offering the ability to host images for you. You aren't stealing imgur's s3 credentials. They just let any user upload images for free despite the fact it technically costs them money to host the file for you. Similarly there are sites offering the ability to serve LLM requests for you for free.
No, the 1:1 analogy you're looking for is realizing someone has a poorly protected api.domain.com endpoint that uploads images to their S3 bucket and then using that to host your own images in their bucket instead of paying for your own.
Gpt4free uses API vulnerabilities that ultimately proxy to OpenAI's API with someone else's OpenAI credentials so that you don't have to pay for it. That's the whole gimmick.
These API endpoints aren't public service open relays which seems to be what you're trying to claim in your analogy:
>These API endpoints aren't public service open relays which seems to be what you're trying to claim in your analogy:
The whole point of the project is that they are. It's a compilation of public, free APIs that have been found. Those issues you linked are from people who don't understand that it's expensive to run a free relay for a paid service.
No service allows you to upload to some other user's Imgur account. The services like the ones you mentioned usually provide a service and do it on the user's behalf to the user's account.
> Good conversation. Among other things, we resolved the misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the App Store. Tim was clear that Apple never considered doing so.
Huh! Who knew. I kind of want one, though looking at some reviews it seems software is the big downside and I can't imagine a nearly ten year old iOS app is going to look much better today.
