Fascinating. Very cool technology. I was curious if it worked and it's funny, there's a study that says it doesn't work[0] but it seems that farmers keep wanting more[1]. Amusing.

A video of this in action is going around on social media recently. Here's a short clip from year ago that's much better than the company website: https://youtube.com/shorts/6sGkVQUvW20

I wish more things had bolts on them, it screams “take me apart and fix me!”

On the flip side the last thing I’d want to open up is an autonomous laser gun. I wonder what the safety-catch looks like on this thing? A big metal shutter?

Isn't water really bad environment for light transmission?

Does it come with a vim plugin?

What a strange idea for a website. An extreme closeup of a machine that vaguely rotates a bit as you scroll down for seemingly miles trying to find a single word explaining what you’re looking at.

Then when you finally get past it, the first text on the page says “our software is constantly being improved…”, as though we already knew what this thing was and what it did.

Nothing else further down gives us any more clues.

Maybe on a Mac desktop or whatever the designers used, there is text happening during all that scrolling?

It's that time for the complaints about page scroll UX

What happens when the parasites evolve a resistance to green lasers, as they tend to do
