- Comment on Upscaling is actually good (as an option) 2 weeks ago:
I’m fine with the concept of upscaling tech. DLSS 4 with the transformer model looks excellent. And FSR 4 is looking pretty damn decent as well. The earlier attempts weren’t as good. Ideally it would be acting more like DLAA, but 8.3 million pixels is a lot to render (4K). And if 8K is going to be a thing one day, it makes even more sense there.
I think too many people focus on the now and can’t imagine what things will be in the future as they progress.
Now frame generation, that one I feel less optimistic about. Especially when I see people using it for 60fps or less. It should really only ever be used at 80fps or higher, where the lag is less of a problem. But one day inferred frames, where it only looks at the prior frames and does not wait for the next frame, might make it a better experience.
Lastly, it’s NVidia and AMD’s marketing departments fault for having them all conflated. DLFG & FFG is what the frame gen tools should have been called, rather than shoehorning them under their super sampling and super resolution branding.

What a very unfortunate name for a university.
- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 3 weeks ago:
My new mental model for LLMs is that they’re like genius 4 year olds. They have huge amounts of information, and yet have little to no wisdom as to what to do with it or how to interpret it.
- Comment on Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! 3 weeks ago:
My all-time favorites have been in place for many years now.
It’s a tie between Sonic 2 (Genesis) & Final Fantasy 6 (SNES).
They are two very different games that represent two different concepts in gaming. For Sonic it’s all about smooth, fun gameplay. With FF6 it’s all about the story and the experience of controlling an ensemble cast of characters. I can beat the first in under an hour, as while the latter usually takes 60+ hours. They’re like the yin and yang of videogames for me.

“Normal” is first and foremost a mathematical concept. And so by definition, everything can not all be normal

Lemmy & Mastodon are completely different beasts with different formatting and function. This is a terrible abuse of ActivityPub IMO and degrades both services cdn.shopify.com/…/Jeff-Goldblum-scientists_2_480x…

I turned it off and deleted on my girlfriend’s Win 10 PC. Then a few minutes later there’s a big ad trying to get us to reinstall it. Yeah, Windows is fucked

No thanks, we don’t need another middle man. RISC V doesn’t need people paying licensing fees for it

Do you have an alternative to suggest or are you just here to whine?

Reaction emojis, threads, screen sharing, and voice chat. IRC has none of these features. Better to get on the Matrix train

I just learned that in Collective Soul’s Shine, he’s not saying “you haven’t let your light shine down”. But it’s actually a Jesus song and 'heaven let your light shine down." Over 30 years I was wrong lol

I just sent one in to Google Maps. Clearly it must be a bug. No such place exists
- Comment on Think this is a realistic prediction or just being used to hype up investors? 2 months ago:
He’s probably referencing the tech we already saw a few years back where the game would render incredibly simple untextured geometry, then the gen AI reskins it to look like a realistic video
