Taylor could make her own site and it’d rival twitter in short order. Society isn’t beholden to musk and the sooner people realize that, the sooner we can leave him in the dust.

Best thing she could do is publicly disavow twitter for that and move her business elsewhere.

“Breaking News” 🤦‍♂️ Ugggghhhh.

*I guess nobody else is tired of celebrities holding the US political system hostage.

The only thing having a native steam game gets you is the community submitted layouts for steam input, and you can get those pretty easily with some messing with game titles. Even without any of that, though, you can edit the controls to whatever you want.

That is interesting. Thanks for the extra info!

Huh, I wasn’t aware that 4090s use similar tech. That sheds light on a few things. Thanks!

If it were contained in some way, that would make sense to me, but it’s free to roam as far as I can see. As for the hay mat, that still seems strange to me, but fair enough.

The game is rendered at a lower resolution, this saves a lot of resources.

Then dedicated AI cores or even special AI scaler chips get used to upscale the image back to the requested resolution.

I get that much. Or at least, I get that’s the intention.

This is a fixed cost and can be done with little power since the components are designed to do this task.

This us the part I struggle to believe/understand. I’m roughly aware of how resource intensive upscaling is on locally hosted models. The necessary tech/resources to do that to 4k+ in real time (120+ fps) seems at least equivalent, if not more expensive, to just rendering it that way in the first place. Are these “scaler chips” really that much more advanced/efficient?

Further questions aside, I appreciate the explanation. Thanks!

Is there an eli5 on how “ai upscaling” is less (or even equally) technologically demanding than just putting in better hardware?

It is absolutely neutral. You’re mixing up neutrality with equivalence. Just because a neutral party reports on something that’s clearly incorrect doesn’t mean they are sponsoring or supporting it over something else, nor is it saying they are equally valid claims.

The purpose of neutral reporting is to have a record of what happened, not to judge it right or wrong. Unfortunately, sometimes (a lot of the time, nowadays) noteworthy events involve unpleasant and/or malicious actors, but we can’t just shun them from history because their purposes are ignoble.

They have a mat, on a mat, on a carpet…

This is why I suck at interior design. It all seems so asinine to me.

A “Scarlet P” as it were isn’t defensible, but a name-only system seems ripe for abuse. Unless the employee can keep track of every student, all it takes is a greedy and/or cruel student to use someone else’s name and they don’t get a lunch that day.

Best method, imo, is free lunch for every student. No fuss, no muss. That children are held responsible for the economic welfare of their family (and there are people fighting to keep it that way) is atrocious. Just feed the children, easy as.

I feel for these studios getting treated like crap. With these shutdowns from corps like MS and Embracer, I can only hope that indie devs learn the hard lessons taught here that conglomerates can never be trusted to operate in the interest of their subsidiaries. All buyouts are to these corps is the addition of “assets” to their spreadsheet, to be ditched the moment it’s more convenient than keeping them around.

They can’t even properly check their copy on critical infrastructure. Top notch work over there, top to bottom.

I’m not blaming employees here, but if GS is specifically marketing older games, they should be taking measures to ensure authenticity. Not that I think anyone should trust GS at this point. Still good to hold them accountable.

How this guy is allowed to run anything like this again, let alone the same exact scam is beyond me. Wtf.

Should definitely still watch the videos. The full extent of the exploitation is sickening.

Dude thinks he’s John Mulaney, but he’s actually just the senile uncle you try and avoid at family gatherings.
