At the moment, it's only US locations.

crazy! wont be too long until this is here for major cities as well.

[airstrike → guwop]

Prague is the capital of Czech Republic and has over 1.3 million inhabitants, so I'd say it qualifies as a "major city"

[inglor_cz → airstrike]

I love Prague and I spent a quarter of century living there, but its status as a major city depends on context.

In the list of world cities by population, it ranks 403rd.

For Czechs or Central Europeans in general, it is a major city, but not in worldwide context.

[thrww120956 → inglor_cz]

On the other hand, Prague would be much higher if the official population number was accurate at all - since this official statistic in Czechia relies purely on the number of registered people and does no further analysis. There's over a million people more than the official number says - that's well known even to the government. Analysis of mobile device traffic and other stuff like that suggests multiple millions.

I'd definitely say it's a major EU city. Maybe even a major The West city. I agree that it's hard to compare it to places in Asia, though.

Hard to trust a map which places "Bali, Indonesia" where "Paris, France" should be.

how is 1500 H100's considered "one of the worlds most powerful AI supercomputers" ? i dont get how that adds up. meta got 150.000 H100's delivered in 2023 alone?

[helsinkiandrew → guwop]

ONE of the worlds most powerful AI supercomputers - I think it would get on the first page of the (November) top 500 list: https://www.top500.org/lists/top500/list/2023/11/

Hmmmm. If i want to do larger scale extractions of OSM data into a layer - what's the move? I remember someone on here posted a way to do it

[twp → guwop]

I wrote https://github.com/twpayne/osm-extract for exactly this.

[ikawe → guwop]

I typically download a pbf extract, and then use the osmium cli for local filtering.

Then I use ogr2ogr to convert to whatever output format I need.
