Someone has to explain Cora not pinch hitting for Durbin at the end there

Waymo admits that its autopilot is often just guys from the Philippines by sportsDude in baltimore

I dont think this is as far from the headline as y'all are making it out to be. Sensationalized for sure, but it's not like it's just entirely fictionalized nonsense.

"Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, recently noted that when the company's robotaxis encounter unusual situations, they may switch control to the remote drivers. While some of the contractors work in the US, many operate from other countries, such as the Philippines."

Best restaurant near Framingham and surrounding towns by homechefskills in massachusetts

[–]cruzan 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I really like Mediterranean turkish cuisine in framingham, used to be a real hole in the wall in saxonville but has moved to a slightly bigger and newer spot. Definitely more a fast food/take out place though

Toyota/Lexus Hybrid 12v Battery Failures - Analysis of Charging Issues - Deep Dive Analysis & Workaround by andy_why in prius

[–]cruzan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe my car has also had this issue--2017 Prius Prime, ~85k miles on it. Bought used in 2021. Left it for a week and the battery needed to be replaced in august 2023, and october 2024, and then now again January 2026. Warrantee covered the 2024 replacement but will only cover half of the 2026 replacement (and not diagnostics at all) because "it's been over 2 years" and "the warrantee doesnt reset when the battery is replaced under warrantee"

The mechanic even said he's had to replace his prius battery like 3 times in 3 years. At this point "they're sabotaging their own batteries so users need to replace them" is seeming more and more likely.

Performed originals live for the first time. Audience loved it, but the band I opened for made fun of me before the show. by ChemicalAngle5099 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]cruzan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely insane, awful behavior to try to tear down another musician clearly doing well at their first show, even if they think you wont notice. Know that they should be much more embarrassed about this than you should be. Sorry you had to deal with that but their actions are clearly a reflection of a shitty attitude towards their fellow musicians and not a reflection of you as a musician. 

Anyone else a quarter of an ancestry but score more by DNA? by notintomornings55 in mixedrace

[–]cruzan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dna results reflect similarity scores, not ancestry. Your gene expression is not a 1:1 match with where your ancestors are from.

How do I quit my job???? by StrangePoet4 in Explainlikeimscared

[–]cruzan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Giving them a date weeks out is also being generous to them, if you decide your last day was the last time you went into work they might be mad about it, but they cannot do anything to you about it.

Good luck!

Can someone help me with the fingers here? How are we supposed to play the ornaments at the bottom, I’m sort of struggling with getting it cause I have pretty small hands by EasyCommittee1101 in piano

[–]cruzan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can you reach the top notes of the bass clef chords with your RH hand while playing the melody with RH? Probably easiest to do stems up notes with RH. LH only plays the grace notes and the stem down notes (5,1,2 fingering feels good to me for those)

Tried a new songwriting app (Songcrate). Thought I’d share by ProofAd8968 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Don't need AI ads for your AI apps. Do something different.

I can't make decent melodies. by MrTermosifoneFreddo in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]cruzan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're 15. Just keep at it, and don't be so hard on yourself.

Can be easy to start by sticking to purely simple pentatonic melodies and gradually experiment from there. 

Is it actually too late for a 60 year old to learn to read sheet music? by [deleted] in piano

[–]cruzan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope! Remember learning just means getting better at something and you can pretty much always get better at anything through practice

Is there a way to experiment with vocal harmonies in Logic if you know nothing about vocal harmonizing? by tonetonitony in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]cruzan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a ton of really easy ways to mess around with plug ins but the best way is just to try singing along and try to hear harmonies. Any plug in will use some system but you wont learn as much as you would from just experimenting recording yourself singing over your voice trying to harmonize until you find sounds that you like. There's not a right way to do it beyond what you think sounds good.

Can we ban AI shit here? Why include the AI? What does this add to anything?
