@DabsMalone what's the main reason we don't use them? harder to keep the camera straight?

Quadcopters dominate today because they’re cheap, simple, and disposable But physics hasn’t changed Electric helicopter style UAVs are far more efficient, carry more, and go farther As autonomy improves and cost comes down, we’ll see them play a much bigger role in warfare🤝

Manufacturing, farming, and even drone tech are coming back on shore to US companies like @SkydioHQ More of this

@alexpark seems software development as a career will be replaced by AI with a year or 2, however there is still a window to get hired by hardware companies using your software skills. and especially hardware in farm tech. last chance pivot!

@RoboHomestead would you kindly espouse a bit more on this subject for the uninitiated folks like myself who are just tipping into this domain without much prior experience or context

Final year to use your software skills to get into agriculture hardware before they're worthless

@GerberKawasaki Really not so hard to take control of your power situation

It’s simple, buy an EV. Get solar, if possible, with a battery system. Get heat pumps for your heat and air. And no need for oil and gas at all. Even just heat pumps and an EV will cut your cost of living by a ton. Lots of cheap EVs out there right now.

@kimmonismus So much farming left to reshape still

Most people think AI will disrupt offices. Peter Thiel thinks its reshaping farms. Solar-powered collars replace fences. Cows become data streams. Herding becomes software. Halter just hit a $2B valuation in a down market. Halter’s technology is designed to create a virtual fence for cattle and enable farmers to monitor the animals’ locations and health indicators through an app. Its collars, which are solar-powered, connect to farmers’ phones to allow them to manage pastures remotely, for example, a rancher can herd their cows using vibrations and audio cues from the collars. Didnt expect that.

@MagnusVigso Beautiful but what if you could grow it in your own backyard

The American mind cannot comprehend i paid around 50$ for all of this.

@RepThomasMassie Have you found any smart ways to automate your bee keeping?

The bees were buzzing so loud in the peach orchard this Sunday morning that it was a bit intimidating to stand there! <sound on> Also, one of our ducks laid a double-yoke egg that weighed in at 4.8 ounces, more than double the size of the chicken eggs we bought.

Yet another reason everyone should take control of their own power generation with solar on every home Make your country resilient to attack 🇺🇸

Still so many things left to connect to the internet

@j_fishback How about neither?

Would you rather spend $200 billion to bomb Iran or…? A: give every teacher in America a $62,500 bonus B: provide downpayment assistance for 20 million young families C: build 1,300 rural hospitals

@andyfang oh so we're doing en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(n…

Introducing Dasher Tasks Dashers can now get paid to do general tasks. We think this will be huge for building the frontier of physical intelligence. Look forward to seeing where this goes!

@sciencegirl No need for these massive farms. Each individual can set up an array for their own needs

China has installed solar farms on water and mountains leaving land for agriculture

Zach: For human beings and the world itself, the only future is agrarian

@cabinsmountain How do we get more people to think like this

@NoContextHumans Needs more cows

Men be honest, is this enough?

@Max_Max92115 @Rainmaker1973

@RoboHomestead @Rainmaker1973 😃Can't say how many free range chickens I made into soup when I was a kid.

Solar powered chicken coop that moves every day to a new location.

@Max_Max92115 @Rainmaker1973 Sounds like they just need a solid predator defense system

@RoboHomestead @Rainmaker1973 They're pretty low on the food chain. If you want to keep them long they need a cage. Actually when you move them daily for most its considered free range.

@kirawontmiss what good is 15 mil when you don't have a farm

what a hero🙏

@MrPitbull07 Ultimate backyard farmer love it

I’m Paul, and I live off the grid in Southern Oregon. I bought my land for less than $1 k per acre, and my property taxes are less than $100 a year—just enough to keep the government at bay. My cabin is small, but it’s mine. I’ve got food and medicinal gardens, and I raise quail for eggs and meat. The beauty of it all is that I don’t rely on much. My cabin stays warm with wood heat, and the sun and rain give me everything I need to keep my phone charged and my garden thriving. It’s simple, and it’s enough. You don’t have to be wealthy to live like this. You just have to be resourceful, mindful of your true needs, and wise about how you use your resources. Now, I’m heading into my third winter, and I’m still in love with the quiet, slow mornings and the endless dark skies. There's something magical about it all. Living this way has taught me that simplicity is the most profound luxury. There’s peace in knowing that the things that matter most—nature, self-sufficiency, and the land you call home—are all within reach. It’s not about having more; it’s about having what you need. So be easy, and find your own version of peace in the simplicity. Credit: Paul via FB
