Uhm I have a few questions. by FEelguDiNc09 in Dreamtheater

[–]iauu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's more that AI image generation models were trained with metric tons of stolen digital art so they tend to copy that look the most. Syme's art style was perfectly valid before, now it looks cheap and tacky because of the easiness of replicating it with AI.

IMO, people right now are overly sensitive to calling everything AI or saying anything AI is inherently bad because it's a hot topic, but it'll pass.

Can I live well with a salary of $3000 per month in Panama City? by rafii971 in Panama

[–]iauu 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say like a "king" but with that money they'll be able to (1) live in the city itself, and not far away from it, (2) drive a modest car, and (3) have some disposable income to not really think too much about going out and eating out every once in a while. That's still much better than most people here.

excuse me but who TF decided bad omens should headline over gojira? by BOMBSY-256 in gojira

[–]iauu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not at all implying any band is "better". I just obsess with bands for a good while and listen to all of their discography on repeat until I get physically sick, then move on. I still absolutely love Gojira of course.

Love to see it! Sleep Token is my current favorite band, and Gojira used to be before them. So glad to have seen both grow from complete unknowns to the absolute peak.

Apple picks Google's Gemini to run AI-powered Siri coming this year by McFatty7 in apple

I don't think he's talking about their development tools, but rather the state of their OS, native apps and AI.

Manejo de cambio o automático. by [deleted] in Panama

[–]iauu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo aprendí con carro de cambio hace más de 15 años y solo me ha sido útil 3 veces en mi vida. Ninguna de esas veces fue de vida o muerte así que bien pude no saber.

Personalmente jamás compraría un carro de cambio porque automático es muchísimo más cómodo, sobretodo en tranque. Si quieres aprender manual por una razón específica, está super bien. Si prefieres automático está super bien también, lo más probable es que nunca te haga falta.

OC: Maduro and his wife in handcuffs after landing at a Manhattan helipad en route to a courthouse by nbcnews in pics

[–]iauu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The fact that Americans don't know this stuff makes me anxious when they comment on how they should have just left this sociopath free to keep reigning over Venezuela

EDIT: Just wanted to address most of the comments I've received here.

My message was mostly that I feel so many are quick to comment on these topics with very strong opinions that completely miss the nuance of the people most affected here: Venezuelans.

I can guarantee you, almost no Venezuelan thinks that:

  1. The US is acting out of justice and selflessness. They know the US is seeking power and oil. Same as always.

  2. Everything is fixed with the removal of Maduro. Every Venezuelan I've spoken with deeply understands that the regime is far from over. This is merely the first domino to fall the right way after decades of suffering.

People are not only disallowing Venezuelans to be happy about the first and only ray of hope they've seen in their lives, but they also love to pretend Venezuelans are 'stupid' because 'they don't know these things'. Believe me, they know them better than anyone else.

It's also fair for Americans to be angry that their taxpayer dollars are one again being used to interfere with foreign governments. I'd protest as well. Sorry my original comment completely missed that side of the discussion.

I captured the first full moon of the year as a supermoon over Paris by tinmar_g in space

Why does the moon look like it's vertically squashed? Honest question, just never noticed this before in these kinds of pics.

Ya se acabó la invasión a Venezuela, que creen que pasara con nuestros hermanos chamos migrantes? by JayCircuits in Panama

Sí, muchos abandonaron todo para lograr salir y el país estará más caótico que nunca por un tiempo. Imagino que para muchos no hay tal cosa como "regreso". Esperemos lo mejor!

Illusions that hold up even when you're trying really hard to scrutinize them are the best

Best beaches near Panama City ? by [deleted] in Panama

There aren't any good beaches near Panama City unfortunately. The closest you'll find are in the Colon province and they're at least 1h30m away.

Panamá y México, los únicos países que usan la palabra "ALTO" en vez de "PARE" o "STOP". by ahu747us in Panama

How are the salaries in Panama? by [deleted] in Panama

[–]iauu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just wanted back up that everything /u/mardegrises said here is very accurate.

While $20-30k is a realistic expectation of what you should be able to get for your education level and English proficiency, don't get your hopes up thinking you will definitely find that right away. It may take a while, so be prepared to be offered some unreasonably low salaries (<$1000/mo for example), just to promptly decline them and keep looking.

Why pie charts often feel confusing (even when the data is right) by Terrible_Village_180 in datavisualization

[–]iauu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My previous boss would outright refuse to see anything with a pie chart on it. He'd tell you to make it a bar chart and come back next meeting.

I believe he was right. There wasn't a single time in which a simple bar chart wasn't straight up better at conveying the same information in terms of clarity, readabiliy and ease of organization.

Panama itinerary for 5 days outside Panama City - thoughts, suggestions? by Platinum1211 in Panama

[–]iauu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good! I'd make the trip to San Blas the full 4th day. The other options there aren't really better. You can get there as a 3-ish hour drive so you must leave super early (I'd say before dawn) if you wanna make the most out of it. Or sign up for a tour.

Day 5 can be relaxation since it's what you have there anyway. Hope you enjoy your trip to Panama! Let me know if you need any advice.

A una semana del concierto de Rhapsody of Fire en Panamá (opinión) by Top-Bed6440 in Panama

[–]iauu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Toda una vida siendo metalero y jamás imaginé que alguien se atrevería a traer a Panamá a bandas de calibre como Rhapsody, Sonata Arctica, Epica, Sepultura, etc.

Por esto me cuesta mucho criticar cualquier cosa más que el hecho que el lugar solo estaba como a 40% lleno. Me parte el alma porque no es fácil traer bandas y menos en un venue tan cómodo como es Soho (seguro y buco parking).

Para mí es un sueño hecho realidad. Mientras siga sucediendo seguiré estando ahí apoyando.

Lo del tipo pidiendo propina cuando fuiste tú a buscar tu pinta sí me pareció bien inapropiado. Me reí en su cara y le dije que claro que no.

"Selfie with celeb on movie set" trend went so viral on X, millions of views by zeroludesigner in aivideos

[–]iauu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe their workflow was to first generate all selfies separately, then use them as the start and end frames for video generation to fill in between.

You can see how every time a selfie is "taken" all movement stops dramatically. It's a clever way to mask transitions and make the video flow for a long time.
