It's a beautiful #summer day today. #Elderflowers #Chicory
Today I'm going to stay inside & beat the heat until the evening (I need to harvest more garlic).
I will be forced to do house cleaning, but I also have goals to make:
- Mulberry leaf #dye
- Elderflower champagne
- #Homemade mayo
- Ladyfingers
(Reader, I might do 1 of these!😂)

Sandia Lab: Two-factor authentication just got easier. “Researchers at Sandia have announced a more efficient way to generate and send temporary security codes. Unlike conventional methods, the new technique does not depend on the time, which could help secure small and remote network-connected devices, including drones, remote sensors, agricultural equipment and industrial control systems.”

@ksaj (when it's finally tuesday for you) does the scripting seem reasonable to you? I guess the ghost of Sandewall is annoyed that I'm not using a decision-tree structure or successor functions, but I wanted to start by dogfooding my entire computer useage into #softwareIndividuals agents before tackling decision trees and beliefs/desires/intents

Okay, tomorrow I'm just going to present where I kinda suddenly got to this past week with Sandewall's #Leonardo #SoftwareIndividuals, which is quite far really.

These are basically the most advanced point cognitive good-old-fashioned-a-i got to in my opinion, concluding with Sandewall's 2 unpublished open access books in 2014. #gofai #ai #cai

I have included about 100M of assorted docs and bibliography from #sandewall in the pawn-75 git (does this need a more distinct name?)

} aside from being an extended first order logic for activity calculus (ie sequences of actions with outcomes) the project is an interesting rejection of ASDF (and clos, tbf)

Water towers with flair: Tallest ‘vattentorn’ of Sweden

Arctura “The Thermos” – Source: kreativteknik.se

Sweden has a wide-variety of beautiful water towers and continues to build architecturally stylish ones today. Over time brick and stone has eventually given way to concrete construction. Despite this conversion, many of the newer concrete water tower designs are quite breathtakingly beautiful.

Incredible Våga (Dare) Vattentorn (2024) – Source: whitearkitekter.com

The images provided throughout the post will attest to the pride (and flair) Sweden puts into its water tower design and especially their care, upkeep, and maintenance. With translated names and nicknames like “Dare”, “Reflektion”, “the Thermos”, “Shelf”, “Echo”, “Blue Spider”, and “Mushroom”, it would be safe to safe that Sweden’s wonderful collection of water towers is among the most (if not the most) dynamic of all nations.

Another important aspect of Swedish water towers is how many older ones have been adapted for new uses once their productive lifespan as a storage facility ended. Apartments, student housing, office buildings, condominiums, observation towers, and even an observatory are just some of the reuses employed there. It’s too bad such preservation and adaptation efforts are not utilized more often here in the United States. The brick and concrete construction materials likely lend themselves better to adaptive reuse than metal and composite materials.

It was also impressive to notice older water towers being reimagined, reinvigorated, and reused for water storage by employing newer designs during updating and restoration programs. See the example from the Stockholm suburb of Tensta just below.

Tensta before- Source: stockholmvattenochavfall.se Tensta after: Source: stockholmvattenochavfall.se

The most common water tower heights identified tended to fall between 20 and 32 meters (66-105 feet) in height, though there are a vast range in heights. The list provided does not include railway water tanks/towers nor water towers below 10 meters in height. A glossary of common Swedish terms you may see while reading the list has been provided, as well. As more data is located, the list will be updated accordingly.

Peace!

Water towers with flair: Tallest ‘vattentorn’ of Sweden

Arctura “The Thermos” – Source: kreativteknik.se

Sweden has a wide-variety of beautiful water towers and continues to build architecturally stylish ones today. Over time brick and stone has eventually given way to concrete construction. Despite this conversion, many of the newer concrete water tower designs are quite breathtakingly beautiful.

The images provided throughout the post will attest to the pride (and flair) Sweden puts into its water tower design and especially their care, upkeep, and maintenance. With translated names and nicknames like “Dare”, “Reflektion”, “the Thermos”, “Shelf”, “Echo”, “Blue Spider”, and “Mushroom”, it would be safe to safe that Sweden’s wonderful collection of water towers is among the most (if not the most) dynamic of all nations.

Another important aspect of Swedish water towers is how many older ones have been adapted for new uses once their productive lifespan as a storage facility ended. Apartments, student housing, office buildings, condominiums, observation towers, and even an observatory are just some of the reuses employed there. It’s too bad such preservation and adaptation efforts are not utilized more often here in the United States. The brick and concrete construction materials likely lend themselves better to adaptive reuse than metal and composite materials.

It was also impressive to notice older water towers being reimagined, reinvigorated, and reused for water storage by employing newer designs during updating and restoration programs. See the example from the Stockholm suburb of Tensta just below.

The most common water tower heights identified tended to fall between 20 and 32 meters (66-105 feet) in height, though there are a vast range in heights. The list provided does not include railway water tanks/towers nor water towers below 10 meters in height. A glossary of common Swedish terms you may see while reading the list has been provided, as well. As more data is located, the list will be updated accordingly.

Peace!
