The moment a corporation starts to endorse open source is the moment they admit they know that are behind.

Anthropic published essentially the same offering recently. By your logic, does that mean they're behind too?

As the old saying goes - better a naughty French than boring German...

But at least they are not homophobic like Eich.

3 out of 5 voting works quite well for hardware sensors and for computing in space.

No reason why it won't improve the quality of the agents output too, eventually. Spin 5 from different providers, take the vote.

Never use a service without easy to find and set hard cap.

One might need to go so far as to use a VISA prepaid card, just to make absolutely sure the damage has a limit.

Last I checked visa prepaid cards were not accepted by any subscription service and by AWS

I had no problems subscribing to stuff through wise or revolut cards. Both are prepaid as far as I'm concerned - they won't let me spend above my account's balance.

AWS will likely write off most costs automatically, but if you truly do manage to rack up a $50k bill somehow, you're getting sent to collections and/or their legal team.

The terms you signed obligate you to pay your balance. Whether your credit card works or not doesn't negate your legal obligation.

Still lower than me.

Fully autonomous Ukrainian drones. We don't know if Russia hadn't used something before them.

The two sides are quite evenly matched

I don't think it is about technology - a camera module with NPU running YOLO can be had for like $30 from AliExpress. And a lot of other technological weapons is possible on a cheap, yet nor Russia, nor Ukraine are doing it.

In case of autonomous drones i don't see them bringing any noticeable benefit over FPV until they are deployed in the numbers an order or two of magnitude larger. Both countries seem yet to reach such number of drones. And the large task here isn't just mere production of the drones, it is the whole system of delivery/deployment/management of those large hives of autonomous drones which also needs to be developed/implemented.

Ukraine does a lot of cheap drones that are highly efficient for their price. Russians do some too but their flagship is based on the Iranian Shaheed which the Ukrainians figured out how to shut them down efficiently. The most devastating and feared russian weapons are the glinding bombs (which are packed with a lot of explosive) but luckily for Ukrainians these gliding bombs lack precision.

You're mixing together different drone types (payload, range, operational role, etc.).

>luckily for Ukrainians these gliding bombs lack precision.

Not really. They don't have 3m CEP, that is true. Yet, a 2000lb bomb doesn't need it. They do hit the targeted buildings, which is enough. The main limitation here is that those bombs require military jet planes to launch. Russia is severely limited here.

The lack of precision does matter when we are talking about trenches/bunkers and bombs often missing by many dozens and even hundreds of meters.

Unfortunately they don't miss by hundreds of meters. And Russia frequently uses 3000lb and 6000lb bombs. So missing a bunker a bit doesn't matter - it will still collapse. Here for example it is clearly visible that the bomb misses the building by about 20m https://t.me/RtrDonetsk/25282

Plus all those bombs that fell in Russia, dozens of kilometers away from the target.

The precision does get better, but still look at the second pic:

Of course, there are a number of cases where those bombs go awry. At least a couple fell even right into the Brjansk city. Those cases though doesn't affect much overall operations. Your first link is more typical - about 15-20m off the target.

This is why Russia uses at least 500kg or larger bombs, even 3000kg ones. With that precision they can't use 100kg and 250kg bombs. Which naturally affects how many bombs say a Su-34 can launch - it would have been 8 x 250 and instead it is 4 x 500 or even 1 x 3000. Compare that to say US using 45 kg warhead in a very precise Hellfire missile - the precision hit with that 45 kg warhead in many cases would achieve the same objective as 500kg at 20m.

Why wouldn't they work??

A lot of fellow Eastern Europeans travel back home to get medical care. This is good testament about the quality of care and personal in UK - since ours are like take out of a horror movie

Eastern Europeans doing "medical tourism" is often powered by higher salaries in the West and lower living standards in the East. That's true not only for healthcare but for majority of services. You absolutely can get quality private care in the West - it's just much more expensive. The private care is also much less affordable for the locals in the East.

Since when is NHS private care?

The three options are NHS, private local and private Eastern Europe. On the axes of fast, cheap/cheaper, near, you can pick two.

At least in Germany, you can opt out for private health insurance. I don't know if that's the case in the UK. There're also many private hospitals in Denmark. And in the latter, you have right to get treated in those if there're no public healthcare options available in reasonable time. But both Germany and Denmark suffer from the same issues as the UK, of course.

That is to say, private care is often available in the West. It just comes with a hefty price tag.

While true, isn't that a rich life benefit in general? E.g. Brits can choose (important hat they have options) to trade some time to get even cheaper and just as good healthcare services compared to Mississippians who don't have such an option at all. So an aggregated quality of life for Brits is even higher because of that.
