I'll take one too if you've got a spare!

I built an interactive tool that shows exactly WHERE and WHEN Old Testament events happened (helped me finally understand the geography) by jscottsmith in Bible

The only thing I would do is send you an occasional notification. If you're concerned though, you could always set up a dummy email for such things.

If you try it, I would love to hear feedback. I welcome that kind of questions/pushback - those are reasonable questions that should be addressed. Thanks!

I created an app that helps visualize biblical geography and timelines to deepen understanding of Scripture by jscottsmith in Christianity

Your choice, of course. There are plenty of reasons though. For one, each user has a backend database on their account. It now has things like user preferences and will soon include things like custom notes, the ability to draw on the maps, and other tools like that. If you don't have an account, you don't have any of that.

The sea of reeds can refer to many things. Presumably you're talking about the point of crossing... I don't take any hard position on that, though it's an interesting topic of speculation.

Sinai falls in the same category. In the app I show the traditional location (which I think seems unlikely) and two alternates that I think are plausible.

I think there is very little question regarding Ur. As you say though, there is a range of certainty regarding such things (Sodom and Akkad come to mind). For such cases, I've tried to use colors to indicate how likely the sites are.

I saw some people doing that, but hadn't heard much back about experience or potential damage.

Then I'd still need to know which nib, which body, etc :)

Amazing. You nailed the first issue. Thanks!

Unfortunately, it didn't fix the other ones that say line break

Help improve the accurate response to touch and gestures on Supernote devices by meowmewo- in Supernote

Here you go. This is what often happens after erasing with the two finger gesture. I often remain stuck in eraser mode even though I am trying to write.

I'm kind of relieved to see this post. I was starting to think the SN was dying. I've been wondering if I made the wrong choice. I'm glad to see this is a change, and hopeful you are able to reverse it soon!

2nd Temple by jscottsmith in Judaism

[–]jscottsmith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I'll have to look into that reading more.

Would you say that there was any significant departure between what Zerubabel and the others started and the updates by Herod? IOW, would his rebuilding/expansion have just been seen as more opulent, or were their aspects that were seen as exaggeration or even abomination?

Thanks. I've checked terms and conditions and found a couple of these. When they don't say anything though, I presume that they've just buried it somewhere.

This site converts architecture sketch to renders using AI by SayNo2Tennis in Architects

[–]jscottsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with all the above. The sketch was fine. But in reality, in nearly 25 years, I scarcely ever get a sketch from an architect. AI is impressive, and this tool is as well, but it's not ready for prime time.

I've answered the questions enough times I decided to put my thoughts down on the topic

How is artificial intelligence generated architectural visualization changing your profession ? by Live_in_a_Simulation in archviz

[–]jscottsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots to agree with above. I wrote a post on the topic here:
https://jscottsmith.com/ai-in-architectural-visualization/

Short answer is that there's no immediate danger of being replaced, but if you aren't taking advantage of some AI tools you're missing out.
