I keep getting reminded how prophetic Robin Williams’ Toys (1992) was lately

I’ve been using it for nearly a year now. It’s not perfect and has given me a little grief from time to time. But it gets the job done

This is just preferring runtime validation instead of compile time validation.

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.

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.

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.

Big Brother will be an AI

Why would I go back to Digg when we have Lemmy?

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

Are you serious? That’s excellent news!

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

Enshittifcation imminent

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

If I could only pick one, it would probably be a simple shotgun

Great, the guy that approved shipping a game that can’t even hit 60fps with framegen gets to make those kind of bonehead decisions for all their games

So…bad frame rates all around? 😓
