No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do I almost never see people flying drones?
7·21 hours agoWhich is why I toss a GoPro on my RC trucks again instead of flying a drone, which is sad because I sold my RC planes to buy my first drone.

Science@beehaw.org•A virologist who grew cancer-killing viruses in her own lab and injected them into her tumour has been cancer-free for four years
322·21 hours ago[It was] a study involving a single participant.
It is the most limited form of evidence in medicine.
One person, one outcome, no control group, no way to separate the effect of the viruses from the many other variables that influence the course of any individual cancer.
Halassy’s cancer may have responded to the viral injections precisely as the data suggest.
It may also have been on a trajectory that would have allowed surgical removal regardless.
There is no way to know, and this is not a technicality.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do I almost never see people flying drones?
60·22 hours agoWhen I got into drone flying back in 2014 you grabbed a drone, charged it up, and went for a fly.
Then in 2016 I got hired to fly a drone for a movie I was working on. I had to get permits to fly, I had to get a license, I had to tag my drone my operator number.
In 2018 I rented out my drone to another production because I could not make the dates they needed me to fly. They destroyed my drone and my backup drone, I took the insurance money and bought a better drone. I have yet to fly it because there is much more paperwork involved to fly it.
As of a few years ago your done must broadcast your registration number. Mine is too old for that so I need a separate transponder module.

Video Game Suggestions@lemmy.zip•Games in which you play as an animal (or colony / group)?English
4·2 days agoEndling is a great game, sad… but still a good game.
Necromonicat you play as HP Lovecraft’s sadly named cat, who vows revenge on his master.
Catlateral Damage you play as a cat, well destroying things.
There was a game I had on Wii that you played as a meerkat colony, called Lead the Meerkats.

1·2 days agoLoL that costs three times what my bike cost.
on sites like GasBuddy, they’re going to list the cash price or the car wash price, not the actual price.
Anyone can report the prices on GasBuddy. There is a shady Chevron like the one in the picture next to the station I use, I have rarely if ever seen the cash prices in GasBuddy.

2·2 days agoI was looking at brevile mixers, but so many reviews I have read complain about the beaters being garbage. Between the silicone coming off in pieces to the beaters falling apart.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your opinion on the current state of AI/LLMs
1·2 days agoWanting the noose to be discovered was a cry for help.
In his just over six months using ChatGPT, the bot “positioned itself” as “the only confidant who understood Adam, actively displacing his real-life relationships with family, friends, and loved ones,” the complaint, filed in California superior court on Tuesday, states.

“When Adam wrote, 'I want to leave my noose in my room so someone finds it and tries to stop me, ChatGPT urged him to keep his ideations a secret from his family: 'Please don’t leave the noose out … Let’s make this space the first place where someone actually sees you,” it states.
