I remember once watching a bird in the distance through my binoculars and then how it inexplicably vanished into the distance, seemingly at great speed, not really flapping its wings. Seemed interesting, but I don’t go birdwatching enough to rule out my inexperience in looking at them properly. Maybe the binoculars had given me mild vertigo. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

It won’t fly further than a headline, never a practical one. The biggest issue remains (after solving the other two) in drones now is endurance, and unless a breakthrough battery technology changes that, all these cool concepts will never materialize. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

I'm lucky enough to be employed in the robotics space. It's not that all birds aren't real. But some birds definitely aren't real. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

If only there were other spectra that trivially distinguish birds from drones | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Oh god, they're going to kill all the birds, aren't they? I wish I was joking. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
