Not a bunker per say but I recently learned that in some states/cities you don’t pay property taxes on square footage below ground so you end up with people building more space below than above ground and Virtual Sun can make it feel l

Hmm, never heard that before, I’ll have to research it more. Maybe the UV from sunlight is killing something you are allergic to. We don’t have UV for safety and energy efficiency reasons but you could try buying some strong UV lamps and

No, there is no IR to speak of, however a lot of people tell us they feel warmer when they stand under it - just a psychological effect but interesting to observe

We provide full 1nm resolution SPDs in our download section so you can do any kind of calculations you want. Worth noting the SPDs change a lot depending on the color temperature of the light. In terms of similarity, trying to match sunli

Oh, gotcha. we don’t do that in-house but lots of companies are available that specialize in this - probably one near you if search for sheet metal fabricators.

Haha - actually one of our customers is a doggie hotel chain that has installed them in multiple locations

Yes, it’s region specific. In the USA sales generally go through a partner. But it is a fraction of the weight, depth, and cost of the large coelux units that run $40k plus install. We also realized there is a need for producing just the

Thanks! It’s powder coating that gives it a super clean look, great for sales demos but I’d suggest that anything not visible from the room side should be cost optimized

Very cool. I’m the CEO of Innerscene ( https://innerscene.com ) and we make a commercial artificial skylight that uses some of these concepts. Actually the coelux ht25 model is almost identical to what you made but using smaller

I saw them a couple of nights ago and was able to get them in a photo. You can see about 12 of them in a row. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/u978rksgjrtvusfmpt36k/IMG_896...

I did the same, were you at VMware by any chance? At the time it was the only way to get comparability with older browsers.

If you are loading external libraries like in this example your encrypted data is at risk. It would be better to include the decryption code directly in the Js or embed Js zlib.

Neat idea, how does it compare to just using base64 when gzip is in the middle?

I think you can use named pipes if you are using SMB. Here is a example code in python (not tested). import socket import win32pipe import win32file import sys BUFFER_SIZE = 4096 def create_pipe(pipe_name): return win32pipe.CreateName

Neat idea. For better performance, you might want to use native filesystem APIs, for example on windows use CreateFile with the FILE_WRITE_THROUGH flag to prevent caching and and extra flushing.

At VMware while looking for systems level engineers our team would give out a take home programming assignment and it was the most accurate measure of how good someone was. We’d give everyone the same test so it was easy to compare and it

One thing that is t clear to most is that generative fill does not consider the contents of the area you are filling so asking it to remove something doesnt do anything - you’d have the same results by leaving the prompt blank

Not to mention thermal expansion which doesn’t happen evenly and trying to cut or measure would have an effect

Thanks! Yes - we are getting installed in a number of homes as well as businesses. We are still at the higher end of the market, but comparable in cost to a real skylight after install and maintenance cost - and you can put it in places

I replicated Jonny lees demo to see how it looks in person but soon learned the problem is one of optics. Without presenting the content at the right focal depth you don’t get past accommodation and binocular convergence conflicts. Withou

I wrote a game in Lisp 24 years ago - imho still fun to play. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abuse_(video_game) It’s open source and available on tons of platforms.

the sun follows you in the sky as you move around but it's angle doesn't change throughout the day.

In some areas we sell through Lighting Agencies, Distributors, and contractors who will set their own prices and markups. If you let me know where you are located, I can give you a number - but as rough guide, in the USA it is somewhere a

Good observation. That is an older video from a prototype - take a look at this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7dwa7mj39rpely6/facia%20and%20mull... I'd say they are pretty similar, Coelux may be slightly less d

Coelux has a nice product, compared to it ours takes up 14 times less space in the ceiling for the same viewable area, the sun is at true infinity so you can create arrays where the sun seamlessly follows you as you walk around, it has dyna

My startup has been working on a virtual skylight that produces a pretty good proxy for feeling like you are outside in the sun even if you are underground. The key invention is in collimating a large area light source so it travels in a s
