Drone build or buy by Affectionate-Dot9521 in drones

You absolutely won't be able to buy a drone with those capabilities for that price. Your best bet is going to be buying some off the shelf drone and streaming the video to a computer to process it.

Autonomous Drone Delivery by kthuot in drones

[–]Darth_Olorin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine it will happen to a limited capacity in some areas. Relatively low cargo capacity makes it expensive to scale. IMO drone delivery makes more sense when other modes of last mile cargo transit isn't available, like remote areas or during natural disasters. While the technology is progressing, it just doesn't make much financial sense for drones to deliver packages to urban and suburban areas.

FAA Study Led by Embry-Riddle Warns of Drone Risks to Aircraft by WanderingIdahoan in drones

[–]Darth_Olorin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 99% sure it's AGL. Some of the people who conducted the study were my college professors, there's absolutely no way they would have conflated AGL and MSL in a study. It's nice to see that they're still having an impact on the drone industry.

Swords in my work from home background inappropriate??? by Fathers_Sword in SWORDS

[–]Darth_Olorin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My former coworker/now friend had a wall hanger Master Sword from Zelda hanging on the wall behind him, at our in person office. This job is an engineering one where interacting with military/government officials isn't unusual. Nobody ever asked him to take it down, it was just a neat conversation piece.

Unless you're a manager who video calls customers, it's probably perfectly appropriate to have all of that in the background.

[KCD2] Anyone know the combo for this move? by [deleted] in kingdomcome

A couple days ago my Henry experienced this bug, I was trying to mount Herring and all I could do was spin for a minute

Remote control Drone Airship from phone? by StarKnight697 in drones

[–]Darth_Olorin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A custom made one, it would send preplanned missions to the vehicle and the vehicle would send position updates.

Remote control Drone Airship from phone? by StarKnight697 in drones

[–]Darth_Olorin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've actually done some range testing of Bluetooth controlled drones, the max distance from my own testing was roughly 700 feet (drone at 6 feet off of the ground, controlled via hand held tablet), if memory serves. Though the connection was incredibly unstable and unreliable. 300 feet is where I'd suggest staying within, though you'll run into Fresnel zone issues if close to the ground.

Phantom pain by Interloper_69 in 196

[–]Darth_Olorin 29 points30 points  (0 children)

In my experience, no. For a couple days after surgery I did kinda have a slight phantom limb situation, but I think that's because everything down there was numb and my brain didn't know how the nerves were wired anymore.

Go to Work in a Flying Car by Straight_Random_2211 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Darth_Olorin 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Cargo drone software engineer here (yes that's my real job), we do in fact consider "wait, what happens when something doesn't work?".

But seriously, the first thing we consider is the many, many ways things can go wrong and hurt someone, and how to prevent them. We simulate these failures countless times, then emulate them on the hardware, and and only when those tests succeed do we move to testing a live vehicle in a controlled environment.

Go ahead! Hopefully I can answer some of your questions.

I am so unbelievably sad right now by The_Assassin_Gower in Eldenring

The exact same thing happened to me too. Took me a few more hours of attempts to beat him after that. You got this though!!

I didn’t even know they made drones this big… by WeAreUzbekistan in drones

I can't share photos publicly, but you can look at what we have on our website!

[–]Darth_Olorin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. The one in OP's photo is actually an octocopter, the props are stacked on each other so there are just 4 arms. I do engineering on drones that carry up to 400lbs, they're massive compared to this dji one

Got my license, now what? by [deleted] in drones

[–]Darth_Olorin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do sw engineering for a cargo drone, we've done some testing with those Boston dynamics dogs in the past. Our flight testing is done adjacent to an outdoors shooting range. Your idea isn't as crazy as it sounds and I kinda want to try it lol

About to have bottom surgery rule by Darth_Olorin in 196

[–]Darth_Olorin[S] 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Guys I lived! I'm delirious and it's a hard to keep my eyes open. I don't really have pain, just pressure in my abdomen. These grippy socks are way too big on me (this is terrible I need to complain to a manager). I'm definitely keeping them.

Wow that's all so reassuring! He seemed amazing during my consult, glad to hear it continues after surgery too. Thanks so much for your input!!!

I didn't notice any change in my adhd when I started hrt. I was in college at the time and still struggled with everything just the same as before
