Nvidia CEO: "We can't do computer graphics anymore without artificial intelligence"
  • Why wouldn't it?

    It's talking about two things "AI" which is actually a pretty good use of the label

    1. Generatinga lower Rez screen and upscaling.

    2. Generating addition frames based on what might happen in between real screens

    There's no valid reason not to use that. Hardware costs more so you'd be paying a lot more money for the same performance. With less people making that choice, the price differential would be even greater.

    Like, this is right. They can't make them without this for low enough people will buy it.

    It's facts bro

    Paramount will be releasing "GALAXY QUEST" on 4K Ultra HD on December 3.
  • They could have went full nesting doll and had a documentary team that was filming the convention, and the rest of the movie shot like What We Do in the Shadows where occasionally a sound guy just doesn't make it.

    I don't know if it would have been better, but it sounds cool

    AMD is set to finally join Nvidia with FSR 4, using AI to power frame generation, though no word on upscaling yet
  • Frame generation is fucking huge.

    Especially since it works best at high frame rates. Like, if you were playing 30fps doubling to 60 might be a perceptable difference because of how long it is in between frames.

    But going from 60 to 120, it's still 50% "fake" frames, but the time between "real screens" is much smaller allowing for more frequent corrections to what the "fake" frames are predicting.

    So while it won't help a bad computer run anything, it can help a "mid" computer make what it can run look a lot better, because you can crank up a bunch of options to maintain the fps you were getting without I.

    Israel says 'high probability' its own airstrike killed 3 hostages in Gaza last November
  • I honestly won't be surprised if IDF killed more Israeli hostages than Hamas...

    Kind of the whole point of hostages was so Israel wouldn't just flatten Gaza because Israel wouldn't know where hostages were.

    Except Israel cares more about killing Palestinians than they do saving Israelis. So they just flattened everything anyways

    JD Vance now says Haitian immigrants are spreading HIV after bizarre pet-eating claim flops
  • Even the new claims are ridiculous

    You know who's really causing AIDS breakouts?

    Conservatives in red states like Mike Pence when he was governor of Indiana. It's common for them to squash needle eschange, testing, and other harm avoidance practices. Even crazier shit like banning narcon or treating it like drug paraphernalia, then bitching about opiod deaths

    They're to the point where they just break shit so they have something to complain about.

    Every show with a suicide now has a disclaimer with a suicide hotline at the beginning. Is there any evidence that these warnings make a positive difference?
  • Suicides can be really easy to prevent.

    Like, the hotline itself is incredibly effective, and reminding people it exists would naturally help.

    People aren't getting the number from the intro, but it reminds them it exists.

    Colorado teen shot in the face by town councilman after going to home to ask permission to take homecoming photos
  • The sheriff's office said the woman, who was not at the home, had called deputies before the shooting to report two trespassers on her property. She also called Metz, who drove over to the home and allegedly blocked the teen's car from leaving, KUSA reported.

    Metz then got out of his vehicle and is alleged to have fired one round through the windshield of the teen's car, the station reported.

    These fuckeits refuse to ever just let a situation de-escalate on its own

    Like, you drive there to make them leave, prevent them from leaving. And shoot at the fucking driver before speaking to them.

    We can't ignore the real life consequences of all this fucking fear mongering.

    apnews.com The world is pumping out 57 million tons of plastic pollution a year

    A new study finds that every year people create 57 million tons of plastic pollution. The material winds up everywhere from the deepest oceans to the highest peak of Mount Everest to inside people's body.

    >India leads the world in generating plastic pollution, producing 10.2 million tons a year (9.3 million metric tons), far more than double the next big-polluting nations, Nigeria and Indonesia. China, often villainized for pollution, ranks fourth but is making tremendous strides in reducing waste, Velis said. Other top plastic polluters are Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia and Brazil. Those eight nations are responsible for more than half of the globe’s plastic pollution, according to the study’s data.

    >The United States ranks 90th in plastic pollution with more than 52,500 tons (47,600 metric tons) and the United Kingdom ranks 135th with nearly 5,100 tons (4,600 metric tons), according to the study.

    apnews.com A decision on a major policy shift on marijuana won't come until after the presidential election

    A decision on whether to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug in the U.S. won’t come until after the November presidential election.

    The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration last week set a hearing date to take comment on the proposed historic change in federal drug policy for Dec. 2.

    The hearing date means a final decision could well come in the next administration. While it’s possible it could precede the end of President Joe Biden’s term, issuing it before Inauguration Day “would be pretty expedited,” said cannabis lawyer Brian Vicente.
