The scraping war seems be causing some collateral damage too. So far I've seen only some additional checkboxes to tick for humaneness but now it seems I can not access forums hosted by @groups.io

In Helsinki, while there may be higher fares pub.transport, I think the main reason is simply remote work, visible especially in the age groups 18-44. Car usage hasn't been reduced quite as much, which also makes sense since traffic jams and available parking has been even greater limiter earlier

They travel up to 4km distances, more than just the last mile, and do so in all weather. Although I think the latter will still cause issues. This one had stopped without clear reason when it had been snowing for 2 hours. The lights went out. Perhaps it was rebooting? After an hour it was gone..

So my first BSky post/thread is about the robotization that spreads at surprising speed even in the snowy Helsinki. Starship robots delivering groceries already reach more than half the population (the not darkened areas). Notably, not the most central part of the city.

I hope they will remember my small act of kindness when they overtake us

Here's the same pair with roma. It finds gazillion points in the white building and I had to tune the RANSAC to actually match anything elsewhere. Didn't notice major difference in other pairs before running out of GPU quota. Water seems to match any water. Perhaps that's where the name comes from?

I tried their demo at huggingface.co/spaces/Littl... on some of my photos against google earth. Surprisingly difficult to make it match anything correctly. Need to adjust view very close. I guess the GE is a bit too synthetic. Anyway, I'm not super into the scheme, my expectations might be too high.

Here's one starship ready to face the snow today in Helsinki. They seem to slowly expand delivering groceries. I expect some pause during the worst snowfall
