🚨🇺🇸LASER WEED KILLER Carbon Robotics made an autonomous LaserWeeder system that kills 100,000 weeds per hour. Because it uses thermal energy to eradicate weeds, rather than a physical intervention like tilling, the machine doesn't disturb the soil below. That means reduced farm costs, no more herbicides, and, most importantly,...

Awesome! But have they done any investigation into any impact the lasers/scanners might have on the cellular development of the crops? I’m all for ditching poisonous chemicals for robotics — as long as we’re not exchanging one danger for another.

We know how lasers can burn things. In this case it would be interesting to know how the system identifies what needs to be burned vs saved.

Carbon Robotics' LaserWeeder uses AI, computer vision, and lasers to identify and eliminate weeds. High-resolution cameras capture images of the field, and an onboard supercomputer identifies weeds among crops. Lasers then target the weeds' meristems with thermal energy, killing them without disturbing the soil or using chemicals. This system can kill up to 200,000 weeds per hour, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional weeding methods. It's effective across over 100 types of crops, including onions, carrots, and leafy greens. The technology not only reduces weed management costs by up to 80% but also increases crop yield and quality by minimizing herbicide use.

Elon Musk explains the mental model he uses to learn anything 10x faster: "The normal way we conduct our lives is we reason by analogy. We're doing this because it's like something else that was done, or it's like what other people are doing. 'Me too' type ideas. Slight iterations on a theme." Elon continues: "It's mentally easier to reason by analogy rather than from first principles. But first principles is kind of a physics way of looking at the world. What that really means is you boil things down to the most fundamental truths and say, 'What are we sure is true?' and then reason up from there. That takes a lot more mental energy." He gives the example of batteries: "Somebody could say, and people do, that battery packs are really expensive and that's just the way they'll always be, because that's the way they've been in the past. Well no, that's pretty dumb. If you applied that reasoning to anything new, you'd never get to that new thing." Elon explains how first principles changes the question entirely: "They would say historically it costs $600 per kilowatt hour, so it's not going to be much better than that in the future. First principles would say: What are the material constituents of the batteries? What is the spot market value of those materials? It's got cobalt, nickel, aluminum, carbon, some polymers, and a steel can. If we bought that on the London Metal Exchange, what would it cost? It's like $80 per kilowatt hour. So clearly, you just need to think of clever ways to combine those materials into the shape of a battery cell, and you can have batteries much cheaper than anyone realizes."

"bUt wHo iS gOIng to pICk tHe cROps"? Want to eat food that hasn't been endlessly doused in chemicals, but which also isn't super expensive? Think there might be an alternative to allowing millions of illegals into the country to harvest the crops? "Precision Agriculture" is finally here, and can deliver that, driving down the cost of groceries without the old inputs of factory farming Imagine a world where agricultural scale doesn't mean vast reservoirs of chemicals getting constantly dumped over the food supply, but high-tech, precision equipment doing what the chemical inputs used to The coolest example is the weeder that zaps and burns thousands of weeds a minute, up to 80 a second, saving farmers money and obviating RoundUp, or other chemicals like it. The combination of AI, precision machinery, and agricultural advancement can make that happen, the world it could create is a really exciting one What makes it all the more so is that these innovations aren't just cool. They're real leaps forward that will help Americans. They'll lower the cost of groceries, help farmers avoid huge input bills, such as for the herbicides obviated by the laser weeder, and create a thriving domestic manufacturing sector built around the production of this precision machinery, and all the advances that go into creating it. The pairing of technology and manufacturing in a really cool way that we haven't really seen outside of the military-industrial complex for decades.That's finally possible again, and Precision Agriculture looks like it can make it so

Most people are doing yard work wrong, and it’s costing extra time and money. ​Ever wonder why weed wacker string seems to snap every two seconds, forcing a pause to constantly bump the head or re-spool the line? It turns out there is a legitimate science to maintaining trimmer line, and a simple 24-hour trick completely changes the game. ​Most trimmer lines are made of nylon, a material known for being hydrophilic. This means it actively absorbs moisture. ​Over time, sitting in a hot garage or a dry tool shed causes the plastic to lose its moisture content, becoming brittle and prone to snapping on impact. Immersing a new spool of weed wacker wire in a bucket of water for 24 hours before winding it into the trimmer replenishes that lost moisture. This makes the plastic significantly more pliable, durable, and resilient against tough weeds and chain-link fences. ​To make the line last even longer and get the yard done faster, keep these strategies in mind: ​Store Spools in a Cool Place: Never leave spare trimmer line in direct sunlight or the trunk of a car. UV rays and intense heat degrade nylon quickly. Storing the spool in a sealed bag with a damp paper towel helps maintain peak flexibility. ​Let the Tips Do the Work: The most common mistake is crowding the weeds. The highest cutting power is at the very tip of the string. Pushing the trimmer head directly into thick brush or hard surfaces causes friction heat, which binds the line together inside the spool and leads to premature snaps. ​Choose the Right Shape: Round line is durable but tears grass rather than cutting it cleanly. Square or twisted lines have sharp edges that slice through heavy weeds effortlessly, reducing the strain on both the engine and the line itself. ​Taking care of the tools makes the work easier. Try soaking the next spool of line and notice how much longer it lasts.

Something I learned when I was 10 years old. People will pay twice as much for sweet 🌽 and you could sell twice as much if you were 1st to the market. Something that drives my nuts is that farmers and universities fail to study Slope Curve. We grow Annuals. They live They die I think it’s funny how the no till / cover crop farmers seem like they go to the church of Glypho Saint The organic guys make their hay preaching how it’s poison The conventional guys need a 7 way stack of chemicals that thunder kills waterhemp from dysfunctional soil This system uses wheat control to create a more even distribution of water across the field… and never grow weeds to begin with. I’m not here to piss off everyone. I just don’t understand why we have to look at every “crop” like 1 crop is going to pay handsomely and cover all our overhead costs and leave money in the bank. Maybe we could use cash crops like cover crops… except we don’t kill them We let them live We let them die We just do the math backwards and find how we can grab the ancillary benefits of their existence to our advantage We get more bushels per seed and unit of Nitrogen We stack entities based on slope curve. It starts with messing with the variables and challenging yourself to think differently Instead of just doing what the salesman or the tribe or the university says is the bmp Maybe they just want to continue status quo because your loyalty and lack of seeking truths are their profit center

Free Energy Announcement Free Energy, otherwise known as Overunity is 100% real. The devices exist already. I have been told exactly how an operational device works. I signed an NDA so I won't be able to disclose specifics. Instead, I want to explain the concepts so everyone understands how it is possible. Overunity means Coefficient of Performance (CoP) greater than 1. More energy coming out of the device than is being locally put into it. This allows for a system that can perpetually produce energy without being plugged in. Many will claim this breaks the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The reason it doesn't break the second law is similar to a windmill or solar panel. The system is open to the Aether (quantum fluctuations) in the same way those systems are open to nature. The first law of thermodynamics says energy cannot be created or destroyed. Solar and wind cannot output more energy than they take because the inputs are limited, but the Aether represents potentially unlimited additional energy input. This is how an Overunity system produces CoP greater 1. 'Free Energy' is a misnomer. It means that the potential energy accessed is unlimited, but it does not mean that the cost of extracting it is zero. The materials to produce an Overunity device are currently expensive, as is the labor to build it. When these devices become more efficient to produce, the cost will drop. The benefits of Overunity include; 1. Energy independence from energy companies 2. The ability to live off the grid 3. No loss of power when the grid fails 4. Green energy with no pollution 5. Cost savings over time from high energy bills The downsides of Overunity include; 1. Large initial device cost 2. Disbelief I hope this information is as exciting to you as it is to me. I will try to answer any questions I can in the comments below. I am also willing to appear on shows and podcasts to discuss these concepts with the public. There are more announcements to come in the near future. Thank you.

A Few Thoughts on Robotics The criticism that robotics can only be used in a rather one-sided way is, at the same time, the solution to the problem. What do I mean by that? Since the Industrial Revolution, humanity has increasingly made production methods more efficient. Fordism introduced assembly line work, but this comes at the expense of monotonous, repetitive tasks. On the one hand, immense wealth has been created; on the other hand, countless people suffer from repetitive tasks, which are a direct consequence of that industrial revolution and the division of labor- in other words, assembly line work. The debate about whether AI and robotics could impact the labor market is answered in different ways. I have a clear opinion on this: Up to now, technology has merely been an augmentation, an improvement of human labor to make it more effective. Robotics and AI, however, represent a qualitative break with this situation. For the first time in human history, it won't be humans who become more efficient, but rather replaceable, insofar as human augmentation becomes *less* efficient than replacing human labor with robotics. In just a few years, a human using technology will simply be less efficient than a robot that doesn't know an eight-hour day, weekends, or holidays, but can perform monotonous tasks 24/7 on an assembly line without breaking down due to physical ailments or needing medical attention. Wear and tear simply means replacing specific parts of the robot. To return to the initial question: production doesn't require general-purpose robots capable of performing a wide variety of tasks, but rather specialized robots that excel at the specific tasks for which they are needed. Figure02 vividly illustrates why this is only now possible: even the simplest assembly line work still requires delicate manual dexterity because the production line is designed for human hands. This breakthrough has now arrived, but AGI (Automated Generating Intelligence) isn't necessary for robots to be used in production processes. It's sufficient that they can perform monotonous tasks. And that's why I believe 2026 will be the year of the robots. (Clip: Figure02 in production chain at BMW Car-production)

THE TRUTH ABOUT PYRAMIDS The Pyramids were a source of ancient free energy. Ancient civilizations understood the Earths energy function. Our understanding of the ancient civilizations discovery of electricity could very well be wrong. The Giza pyramid was made with granite and limestone. Granite is a conductive stone when exposed to heat, pressure, and water. Limestone is semi conductive. When a sandstorm occurs the pyramids would have been hit with positive charged sand and would have created extreme amounts of electrostatic energy flowing through the limestone charging it with electrons, because it is a semi conductor, right into the granite which has a positive charge and into the conductive granite. Granit is more conductive but has a positive charge so it would not build the same level of static charge as the limestone. Limestone is also know to have a certain level of thermal resistance that could prevent the pyramid from giving off excess heat. Also within the lower chambers of the Pyramid they found copper wire. This could've been used to channel the energy into the sarcophagi. Which some have speculated these granite blocks could've been primitive batteries/capacitators. Wire isn't needed since granite sufficiently charges the air within. It could've been used to ionize the air to create a conductive plasma shooting it to other pyramids with the pyramids that act as receivers with gold capstones to conduct the ionic beams. This free energy system would've sent energy up through the air rather than using wires. The theory is that desert pyramids built out of granite and limestone would've produced the energy while other pyramids would receive the energy. THINK WORLDWIDE. Some estimate this would measure more than 100,000 volts electricity PER METER in sandstorms.
