The RTX video upscaling feature works really well, there's a bug in the Firefox implementation that allows you to switch between native and upscaled side by side and the difference is striking. I don't have an HDR monitor so I can

GenAI reduces the fixed cost of creating images/text/whatever which all else equal will increase the amount created. Whether or not you think that is a good thing is probably mostly a function of do you make money creating these t

Slippery slope is only a fallacy if you assume a certain form of certainty or determinism. Otherwise it is just an older term referring to Bayesian updating of priors.

It’s a sort of mechanical analogy. In markets, prices serve to equalize supply and demand. By definition the seeding and leeching data quantities must be equal in the entire torrent system so any torrent tracker will need to “clear the mark

The rumor is that RDNA 4 is a mulligan gen for AMD while they get chiplet based GPUs ready for RDNA 5 in 2025. While Nvidia is going fully monolithic for Blackwell and won’t be using chiplets until at least the 6000 series. So there’s a cha

Huh I never realized the 717 had no crashes either that’s even more impressive considering the era it was designed in tbh. The others on that list look like subtypes (ie the 747-8; there have been numerous 747 crashes).

The quick death of WEI makes me hope that RA might end up like the Secure Boot fracas a decade ago; it’ll end up in the enterprise because companies want it in their internal IT but won’t end up being used in the consumer world.

RTS elements. It’s really tedious dealing with base defense and biter expansion prevention if you want to build a rail world type of base (and have the map for it). Artillery helps somewhat but the range is limited by radar arrays’ range. L
