I just grabbed a random program listing for urologists at NYU Langone [1]:
> Residents spend the first (intern) year of the training program completing both general surgery and urology rotations, and years two through five in urology. During year three, residents also conduct clinical research with a faculty mentor in a subspecialty of their choice.
Emphasis added by me.

My potentially unpopular opinion: Congress should ban residency programs from using Medicare training dollars to pay for research. They should do this with the goal of speeding up the training pipeline for actual practitioners, many of whom are now required to spend a year of their residency doing research of some kind.
If medical residents, or teaching hospitals, want people to do research, they should go get funding from established research funding sources that have standards and practices for funding and monitoring research.

This is interesting, but I feel like my use cases would better align with a different irrational number. Could I get an option to do this with e instead? /s

It sounds like you've been reading Susan Sontag. For others, I recommend:

I know it's unconventional, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading that translation. It felt so alive, and other translations have never engaged me in quite the same way.

I actually did this prompt and found that it worked with a single nudge on a followup prompt. My first shot got me a wine glass that was almost full but not quite. I told it I wanted it full to the top - another drop would overflow. The second shot was perfectly full.

Vail averages something like 240" of snow per year, which is 20 feet. Wolf Creek usually gets the most snow in Colorado and averages 430" of snow per year, which is almost 36 feet.

Judging from the comments I've seen, nobody believes this because RFK has completely shot his credibility, and I don't blame them either.
But it turns out there may actually be some emerging evidence to support this. This recent Harvard meta-analysis [1] from just last month looked at 46 different studies and suggested that there may actually be something happening here although it's not conclusive. Correlation but not yet causation.
Nobody should be making policy on this yet, but it's the kind of thing that I would allocate some research dollars to if I hadn't just fired all of the competent researchers.

The Hyères photo has the bike going in the opposite direction and from above. It's also tricky because it's a focal point for the eye, but not the center of the photo. The other elements of the frame direct your eye, but that visual behavior is not obvious to an AI. Lastly the image must capture the unquantifiable "decisive moment" that made Cartier-Bresson so famous.
So far I haven't seen an AI that really gets this prompt. Adding specificity will improve the results to a degree, but I haven't seen an AI that really gets what makes a Cartier-Bresson photo.
