I’m looking for someone with imagery and a good use case for geospatial semantic search.
If you want to try your own queries in PIMINTO, my geospatial AI search tool, now you can: piminto.obliscence.com. There are some pretty neat features that I didn't include in the demo video, including a third way to query besides text and images. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjH0...

Ronnie Dahl knows recovery. I love his emphasis on safety and proper technique.

The only thing I’d add to this excellent video is to use a little throttle when winching. It helps your alternator give more power and saves your battery under peak load.
