There are already some providers offering cheap LLM services that will give you a response within 24 hours instead of within seconds. That allows them to schedule tasks during low-request hours when they have spare capacity and use better batching. For some automated tasks this is perfectly acceptable. A bit of effort to accommodate, but easy to justify when it halves your inference costs

Any examples of such providers?

I guess I should support AWS Bedrock as an alternative in my app that uses Claude:

How many outages has Anthropic had? I have to assume AWS has had less given their pedigree.

(Btw is cursor genetic coding down as well?)

Weirdly enough OpenRouter reports issues with Claude 3.7 on Bedrock as well: https://openrouter.ai/anthropic/claude-3.7-sonnet

I’m curious why there’s no mention in the article of Joe Barnard’s efforts at bps.space which are “prior art” in this problem domain (landing a model rocket using TVC).

The idea was to make Boeing compete with SpaceX.

SpaceX has already sent multiple crews to the ISS. Boeing is delayed and overbudget. Boeign has had a long series of problems including setting the system clock wrong.

Clearly SpaceX already won, NASA should just pull the plug on Boeing.

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.

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.

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).

> For startups, Europe’s main problem is fragmentation.

Yet Uber operates in most European countries.

It is very much the bureaucracy that’s holding it back, and the bureaucracy stems from the culture.

The corruption then makes it worse.

Why do so few countries in EU have ride sharing?

Fragmentation is an excuse.
