According to their website, it weighs 761g.

Right, 3/4 kg is 750 g.

Oh wow, I got completely confused by this usage, and thought it meant 3 to 4 kilograms :)

I will use ¾ next time)

Same with iPhone, you can only share mobile connection.

$5,000-7,000...that's crazy.


What's crazy is that it only does the easy stuff (planting and watering). What we need is a robot to do the hard stuff (in my home-gamer opinion: pest control and weeding; maybe picking is most relevant for commercial agriculture).


Not sure if it comes out of the box, but it can also do simple pest control and weeding. Mechancical stomping plants at the wrong position or spraying with chemicals.

Harvesting would be fine for me to do by hand, because that is indeed he really hard part, especially with mixed crops.


Where does it say that? I can’t see it in the video description.


The second line. The video description for me says the following:

"HAWAIʻI VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK - An incredible sight at the summit of Kilauea volcano on Saturday morning, as Episode 38 erupted enormous lava fountains across the caldera, destroying one of the webcams that was live streaming the event.

All images and video are courtesy the U.S. Geological Survey. A synthesized text-to-video voiceover was used in the narration for this story."

You write really well.

Also, your comment made me think of this ACX post, specifically of “the man who is not”

They’re talking about something like this https://www.thedrive.com/tech/34817/this-25000-game-boy-is-m...


Along these lines, does anyone have recommendations for a nice (as in: overpriced and pretty, just like with OP) setup for drawing/sketching diagrams, as a programmer might need to to do map out a problem?

I'm thinking ~pencils~ (edit: felt-tip pens) in various colors, and good paper.


I can't speak for variously-coloured pencils, but I've had a lot of success with a grid-ruled moleskine (I usually went for hardcover, but after accidentally ordering a soft cover, I'm warming up to it) and a Rotring 0.5mm mechanical pencil with Pentel 2H leads.

For colours, I tend to use the Bic 4-in-one coloured pen (the one with the blue bottom and white top), though I don't bring that out often.


I mentioned in another post, but you need to try the Uni version of that Bic. I got a 3 color. I feels only slightly larger than a regular pen, and writes vastly better than the Bic. They’re more expensive in absolutely terms but still around $6.


Do you have a shopping link or SKU? I'm having some trouble finding it, but it sounds compelling!


They may be thinking of the "uni Jetstream 4&1 Metal Edition" with black/red/bluegreen Jetstream ballpoints, plus a 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil: https://www.amazon.com/uni-Jetstream-Ballpoint-Mechanical-MS... or https://www.jetpens.com/Uni-Jetstream-4-1-Metal-4-Color-0.5-...



Oh wow, those both look fantastic. I'll see if someplace local might carry these. Thanks for the links, both!


Why do you use 2H leads? I can't imagine writing in something so light, even HB lead is too light for me.


I second the Uni Jetstream 4&1 Metal. It is my daily driver for highlighting (color) and annotations (pencil), and the Jetstream inks are very smooth.

For loose leaf paper that takes ink and markers well, use "color copy digital" paper.
