I heard that Dario Amodei is not having a great day today.

2 really strong open models on the same day is a amazing.

CoMaps is the best. They recently integrated Panoramax into CoMaps, which gives street view in many locations.

Lead doesn't really matter anymore. I just ported a very old cuda library to rocm, so it can be run on MI300s. 2 years ago this would have been a nightmare. Today it was an afternoon.

I am not ok with handing all my data to American companies that are best friends with the American surveillance state. I still remember the Snowden revelations. Chinese companies are a much better option in that regard.

OsmAnd is a great powerusers app. I use it daily.

However, I would not recommend OsmAnd to a normie. My family members, especially the older ones, all use CoMaps because it is much more friendly to them.
