@iamgingertrash Would love to do some experimental photography of the product showcasing the ambiance of the light, when the shell and lighting is ready. I'm in LA area.

@youwillmakemaps Step 1 - Get a few people together to pool money to buy one from Sweden.
Step 2 - form special forces division of USFS for California Sky Ops.
Step 3 - Be out in the woods nonstop working with trees and making surveys of work finished.
Step 4 - …..profit?
Schedule is packed now with normal work hours, additional design projects, and photography so unlikely that right now I could act on early access. But I will keep an eye out for the release.
As you can tell from our previous discussions, love the product. Trying to share what would be useful to me with the other tools I use. If in the future I have time to work on anything related to the API, will let you know.
@iamgingertrash@Daily_MailUS Multiple rounds of radiocarbon dating to verify age.
Specific sections (Book of the Watchers and other early parts of 1 Enoch) existed, were written in Aramaic, and were actively copied and studied by Jewish communities by ~300–200 BCE. Likely are older it seems.
Bro...this is fascinating.
The Book of Enoch (also known as 1 Enoch) was once cherished by Jews and Christians alike, this book later fell into disfavor with powerful theologians - precisely because of its controversial statements on the nature and deeds of the fallen angels.
The Enochian writings, in addition to many other writings that were excluded (or lost) from the Bible (i.e., the Book of Tobit, Esdras, etc.) were widely recognized by many of the early church fathers as "Apocryphal" writings. The term "apocrypha" is derived from the Greek word meaning "hidden" or "secret". Originally, the import of the term may have been complimentary in that the term was applied to sacred books whose contents were too exalted to be made available to the general public.
In Dan 12:9-10 we hear of words that are shut up until the end of time and, words that the wise shall understand and the wicked shall not...
Love that we are now having this conversation. The questions that flow from Josh's comment are why and what should we aim towards.
These should be places of wonder that we can marvel at. Modern cathedrals for the silicon age. Not to worship them. But to stoke our aspirations. Square grey boxes do not inspire.
Given the epicenter of this technological revolution was California, the Light and Space Movement seems fitting for a direction. James Turrell is the most well known of this movement, but there are other great artists like Helen Pashgian. Focusing more on work from this movement that blends into the surrounding land seems wise.
Libraries, museums, or workspaces can be built as a small fraction of total sq footage to allow people to interact with them. You can allow shareholders to use them if you want to gate those space. Not saying every single one built needs to be like this. Have a crown jewel every X built.
Boosted this post using Google, Anthropic, and Palantir returns in hopes that this finds the right eye balls. Thoughts brought to you by an after work run.
Least favorite parts of the process can/should be reduced in time, so that the world's glorious map makers can focus more time on getting the perfect colors for bathymetry layers.
A lot of photographers will use this sort of thing for some of our larger prints that come off a roll paper.
