Sorry we just finished hiking so a bit delayed on some of these maps. I’m too lazy to edit so here is the RAW off my iPhone. Subway Zion NP.

A megawatt of Utah solar covers 5.9 acres of panels. That's the middle value of 48 farms, each redrawn at one megawatt and one ground scale.

Sun-tracking panels: 6.3 acres per MW
Fixed panels: 4.8

Day 12: Power. Python (GeoPandas, Matplotlib).

From 3.0 acres per MW (SF Auto O1) to 9.0 (Three Peaks). 28 of the 48 farms, 56% of the capacity, are in Beaver and Iron counties. Panels and inverters only, not fences or roads.

So what is the point of the fable reset ? Do I just burn fable to 100% and then what

[Brian Busch, GISP @brianjbusch]

@BiaoXiong73311 added to the extras with grok 4.7 and fable 5.2

If you have AI subscriptions and do GIS absolutely do not read https://t.co/2QBQblbfHR

@bdgroves went to the univ of oklahoma so I thought why not try this idea with tornado sirens.

The Mighty Five, by decibel. Share of each Utah national park where people add 6 dB or more of sound, in the NPS model:

Bryce Canyon 11%
Arches 5%
Zion 2%
Capitol Reef under 1%
Canyonlands 0%

Utah overall: 17%.

Day 11: Sound. #30DayMapChallenge #NPS #Sound

[Brian Busch, GISP @brianjbusch]

Park boundaries: NPS. State line: UGRC. Terrain: USGS 3DEP. Place names: USGS GNIS. Interstates: © OpenStreetMap contributors.

[Brian Busch, GISP @brianjbusch]

By NPS's rule of thumb, 6 dB of added background sound leaves a quarter or less of the area from which a natural sound can be heard. Modeled for a typical summer daytime hour in calm weather.

@BiaoXiong73311 Same issue as Luna

[Richard Atkinson @RichardAtCT]

I built a small site (using Fable 5.2 obs) that draws the night sky exactly as it was at any moment and place: real stars, plus the Moon and planets for that exact minute, as a print-ready poster.

It’s free. To test it, I made the sky for a few moments in history.

@GordianKnotDev @USGS love the hover and alaska is sick!

Day 10: Prompting.

One brief, six models, a 30-minute cap, no follow-up from me. Elapsed times from 7 minutes to 28.

Same 515 @USGS earthquakes. Every posted number recomputed. One citation error in six posters. Body text too small for a phone on all six.

[Brian Busch, GISP @brianjbusch]

when you had like 50 followers total and now you have a post with like 1.5x that in bookmarks in a day. I mean sure I will make some more maps and post photography

[Brian Busch, GISP @brianjbusch]

What a crazy day on here.

[Brian Busch, GISP @brianjbusch]

@gontsa I have open code and some of those models I just never really use them.

[Brian Busch, GISP @brianjbusch]

@gontsa Which was the fastest

[Brian Busch, GISP @brianjbusch]

@nivekcode @omarchy Oh it’s so fun.
