Barack Obama: “For elevator music, AI is going to work fine. Music like Bob Dylan or Stevie Wonder, that's different”
  • Not that it really matters in this case, but AI art just seems inconsistent in silly ways. That girls shirt changes each frame, her hair gets more braided, and the 3rd frame has 2 left hands. I guess at first glance you don't really notice, but it's not hard to spot and it hurts my brain once I do.

  • The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion
  • How'd you get into sim racing? I'm an F1 fan and have been tossing around the idea of getting a rig but not sure what would give a decent experience for the money. The sim racing community here and on Reddit seems to just be people posting pics of their rigs. I have a microcenter near me and they have a rig builder on their website but I don't really know what to look for.

    I recently got to do a sim experience at an expo but they had a very nice fanantec F1 set up with a direct drive wheel and VR set that was an absolute blast, so I'm worried any entry level setup just wouldn't come close to comparing to that.

  • Nissan to go all-electric by 2030 despite petrol ban delay
  • It's been great so far, but it's my first EV so comparisons are difficult. It checked all the major boxes I was looking for, particularly AWD and range close to 300mi. It has a lot of creature comforts that were an upgrade from the Impreza I had previously, but nothing you can't get in an ICE; heated steering and seats, remote climate control, and other tech upgrades.

    If you like buttons and knobs then you might not like the Ariya; they went for a very minimalist design and most controls are on the touch screen. That hasn't been too much of an issue for me.

    The plus models with eForce are plenty quick (scared the shit out of my wife the first time we gunned it down the freeway). It is heavy though, as one would expect. Overall, for the price point it's a solid choice if you want something more like an SUV than the ioniq 5 or the EV6. The overall build quality seems quite good (Hyundai and Kia appears just felt a little flimsy to me). I am quite happy with it so far.

  • Dominican Republic: Doctors Go On Strike Against Insurance
  • Not likely. There is no effective organizational institution for doctors in the US. The AMA is not a great forum for physician organization and it's done a pretty poor job so far at advocating for any real change in our health systems. There are other, smaller organizations that have some traction but not enough to make any large, lastinhg impacts at this time.

    I don't know much about the Dominican health system but I'd wager it's quite different than the US. Which physicians would go on strike here? The surgical specialists making $400-800k a year? Not likely. The primary care doctors who would be painted as villains that abandoned their patients by striking (not to mention they still make decent money)?

    Physicians in the US certainly advocate for system reform, but meaningful change is not going to come from drastic, large organizational moves such as a doctor's strike anytime soon.
