most of costs are costs of construction. french and koreans don’t seem discouraged and some plants in japan and china were built under budget. finland energy supply has large fraction of nuclear and they have extremely cheap electricity

World News@lemmy.world•AstraZeneca to license lung cancer drug from China's Dizal PharmaceuticalEnglish
21·2 days agoit’s not even known yet and they say so:
The primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS) assessed by BICR per RECIST 1.1. Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR), and safety profile. (…) The OS data were immature.
it was also only for late stage metastatic patients with a very specific mutation. now, since AZ has the rights, and they have money for trials, they can try to get a trial for earlier stages, and so this new better drug might be used for larger patient population while still patented. and that would be money printer

21·2 days agothere are drug trials that cost more money than that. also this is not +4 months comparison new drug vs nothing this is new drug vs old drug. if AZ also got their IP then it’s a fire sale

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Friends claim influencer injected himself with gold to gain “superhuman” powers before his deathEnglish
2·4 days agoyour guess about what he actually did is as good as mine. gold salts are toxic and corrosive so it would be pretty obvious early on. small gold particles would occlude capillaries so that would be very obviois too. there is colloidal gold and gold nanoparticles are probably not very toxic. that discoloration could be some infection or irritation from whatever injected thing (not medical advice)

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is a good delta between indoor and outdoor temps using only ventilation?
4·5 days agoI’m guessing the walls are retaining some heat.
Guesstimate your own numbers, but the way my flat is built walls have heat capacity some 150x more than air inside. (reinforced concrete building, walls/floor/ceiling counted as half if shared with other flats) You will need to run a lot of air through, at at least couple C temperature difference, to make a dent in that

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•"The situation is a total collapse.", Russian car mechanic warns of a fuel contamination crisis.
9·9 days agoBelieve it or not, there are bacteria that live on surface of fuels and oxidize them for energy. Sometimes there are antibacterial additives, sometimes they are filtered off, but sometimes these just fall down to the bottom of storage barrel at gas station. This, mixed with rust and a little of water, forms that sludge. They see that because gas station runs out of fuel

Technology@lemmy.world•Anthropic wants to develop its own drugsEnglish
22·13 days agoYeah they’ll make medbeds any day now. Or maybe it’s for their internal use only, because they’ll noticed bubble and don’t like what they’re seeing. I wonder if they’re foolish enough to vacuum up all data from companies that used their chatbots to come up with something hoping that no one will notice
Every single bit of that is so fucking stupid, they’re replaying crypto playbook 1:1. Spot an industry that they think they’ll manage in, then try to leech off of it in purest display of rentseeking imaginable, coupled with techbros folk belief that since programming is soo haard, then as they can do that they can do everything else too, all with no plan, no labs, no specialists onboard or faintiest idea what they’re doing
apparently it’s NFPA (american fire safety code) thing. these regulations might have been written when inhalational anesthetics were flammable. also keep in mind that people under anesthesia can’t move and that was also probably a factor
maybe it is for power cord specifically, and the same type is used for hospital equipment. some of (modern) anesthetics are powerful solvents but not particularly flammable. maybe it also has something to do with potential extra oxygen (or nitrous oxide) content in air
