What do you currently use for json and batch, I was doing some analysis and my results show that gpt-oss-120b (non batch via openrotuer) is the best for now for my use case, better than gemini-flash models (batch on google). How is your experience?

Excellent resource. Small bug to report, the table here is broken (BANTU NEGROIDS section) https://britannica11.org/article/01-0358-africa/africa#secti.... Its quite fascinating to read what they thought about Africans as an African.

From my casual glance, I can see only few images of particular spots and no timeline so that you can go back in history. Seems pretty rudimentary, like the 15 images you get from EOSDA LandViewer that you can only download a very low resolution thumbnail. Did you find the data helpful?

Instead of recompiling the source and installing it again, is there a way to monkey patch the already existing package? It seems like a few lines of code.

There's Merlin and then there's Birdnet too https://birdnet.cornell.edu/. Both by Cornell.

I recently read about arxiv, it's history and all the mini-drama's around it https://www.wired.com/story/inside-arxiv-most-transformative....

I wonder if Ginsparg is finally retiring and relinquishing access.

Is this the same Chitwan with man eating tigers, I read about it in Jim Corbett's book Man eaters of Kumaon.

Apparently, the main reason there is interest in this is because China is doing it too.

US tried to kill China's space industry. Look how it went.

They are probably trying to make it look like they got hit by a clever attack, rather than SQLi or a XSS.

>Now that the US can't do the same to China (due to its sheer size and power), old globalization and free trade flag-bearers discovered suddenly that free trade might not be the "be all end all".

This is one of the main reason why US is fighting China.

I know this is going into conspiracy realm but do you think this could have caused mass wipe out of both humans and wildlife and that it could have possibly killed earlier advanced (agricultural and can build rather than hunter gatherer) civilisations.

It's because of the title length limitation I think. I tried uploading the article and I removed some parts of the title, although OP totally changed the meaning.

That was a pretty awful site and the ceo did say that it was kind of the wrong decision but the right choice so I support them 100% on that. They still have lots of bad customers who they still handle.

You are absolutely wrong. I have been a victim and a perpetrator of African time.

I am African and I can say that it depends on your culture.
