Would you concede that there is a difference between an hobbyist making minor adjustments to a image and a multibillion-dollar company that’s promoting a solution that effectively replaces the entire image with a new a one and that creating a ecosystem depentend on such a solution may go the same way PhysX did?

Do you guys turn your graphics settings to lowest to make sure not to interfere with “artistic vision”?

This such a bad take and demonstrates a total disregard for the role of technical artists and design.

Anti-aliasing aims to overcome an inherent limitation a raster (of pixels) may present, in oder to bring the actual result closer to an artist’s vision. The same can be said for any other technique. The common denominator is, that they all attempt to bring a artistd vision for their work closer to reality.

DLSS5, on the other hand, brings the result closer to Nvidias vision of what “good” looks like. And I think it looks bland and badly photoshopped and I want to see more good looking games.

Because of some comments, I’d like to add:

“Optimization” isn’t the same as “high fps”. Optimization is a game of priorities. Take the demo scene: these programs may be 64KB in size (on disk) but are capable of choking a 5090 to death.

This may just mean we get even worse performing titles, because the “quadruple-A” guys don’t give a fuck.

I will use this to make my code unattractive for AI.

“Those seem rather small. Do you have one with more girth? No no. The dose can stay the same.”

I love this. It leaves just enough out so that it’s not immediately obvious what’s happening, but gives enough clues so that you can figure it out as you scroll.

It builds up nicely, and once you understand it, it leaves you feel clever & very fulfilled as a reader.

You’ve basically figured out Valve’s (the video game company) definition of “fun” for a short comic strip. You should be proud of that! Also love the style. I hope to see more whenever you find inspiration.

I propose the body temperature of an average opossum as the fixed point for 100 because they are cute as heck. We shall call this unit Possigrade. And anything above 100 Possigrade should be called the ‘rabies zone’ and 0 Possigrade should correspond to 8°C, as this feels very cold when dressed inappropriately. In addition, there is now the Bakers Possigrade, where 100 corresponds to 27°C, as this is the temperature at which sourdough bread rises by about ⅓ in 5.5 hours.

But seriously: Celsius is fine. On Earth, we are primarily interested in water at atmospheric pressure. Too many things contain water (pipes, food, paint, etc) and they react differently at 0 °C than at 4 °C. For this reason, we deliberately avoid using water in applications that are regularly exposed to sub-zero temperatures. Water is simply everywhere, so 0 °C and 100 °C are important tipping points for general use.

The more I know about specific topics, the more I distrust DF on their framing. They don’t lie outright, but they tend to strike a very industry-friendly tone in their reporting.

I know a fair bit about panel technology, but not enough to completely dismiss them outright on this. However, I don’t trust the “perceived” clearance here. Especially not quantified as “4x” (the detail, lol). Not from people who promote temporal anti-aliasing or GI and generated frames.

Hey, man. Skimmed through your comments from today.

Are you sure you don’t want to go out? Maybe with a friend to enjoy the day. Or maybe fix something around the house that you’ve been meaning to fix for a while?

I’m sure you have a life full of little things that your energy is better spend with, instead of… you know. broadly gestures at your profile

I’m using a Dell S2522HG, that I calibrated using a colorimeter. Best display I’ve ever had. Not sure if they sell it anymore as 24" panels seem to be dying out.

Gnome uses around 1.6GB on my machine and runs a bit smoother than KDE (although last time I tested was 2½ years ago; so that may no longer be the case. I’m on a 240Hz panel aswell, so my experience may not be applicable to most users).

If your heart holds even the tiniest itch for adventure, you’ll probably want to play this game. I don’t game as often anymore, because the older I get, the fewer experiences can really captivate me.

Outer Wilds did. I have a friend who told me he teared up during the end game, without understanding why, and I remember someone on Reddit comparing it to a religious experience.

It really makes you feel something.

I find this to be a real problem with visual shaders. I know how certain mathematical formulas affect an input, but instead of just pressing the Enter key and writing it down, I now have to move blocks around, and oh no, they were nicely logically aligned, now one block is covering another block, oh noo, what a mess and the auto sort thing messes up the logical sorting completly… well too bad.

And I find that most solutions on the internet utilizing the visual editor tend to forget that previous outputs can be reused. Getting normals from already generated noise without resampling somehow becomes arcane knowledge.

Edit: words.

I love the video description:

Like… man. Noone is even trying.

I once had a problem with an ASUS notebook. I think it was the touchpad. So I looked in dmesg and found something like:

“HID something something was configured with flag 1. If this is incorrect, try the command blah blah flag=0.”

Ran the command and it was fixed.

I’ve never seen such a beautiful error in Windows. And I really lost my respect when I tried to calibrate an external screen on a Mac because that felt like Linux from 2016.

This is just hackerman posting.

You’ve got the paint mircophone thing, which requires someone to physically be at (your) location and install hardware, but not encrypted DNS, or not - you know - just posting your current whereabouts to social media?

Someone being physically near you and installing specialized hardware is quite a threat level.

Fucking: “Cars will collect telemetry locally to be shared when you visit auto repair shops.” DUDE. They have mobile data in these things. I can’t even. Your list is so thoughtless.

And what’s second hand clothing gonna do for you, if the people surveying you have eyes and object permanence?

Basically, the pan must be hot but not too hot.

It sounds kinda stupid, but before I got used to my current pans, I always had to add a small drop of water to check whether I could start. As soon as the water began to boil, the pan was hot enough to cook (but wouldn’t just burn everything into a crisp).

In theory, it’s really, really simple, but to be able to intuit the pans temperature, really felt like a boss move… for the first few times, until it just became second nature. I had to scrape off more than one egg before it clicked.

Its manufacturing requires relatively large quantities of fairly toxic and also very resistant chemicals. This means that when they enter the environment (and they will), they will poison it for a very long time, with consequences that are not yet fully understood.

In addition, it decomposes when heated above 260°C and can detach from the pan and get into your food. Keep in mind that almost all oils start to smoke well before reaching this temperature, so you should be able to tell when you’ve just ruined your pan.

In my opinion: hot stainless steel and a little butter will prevent food from sticking. This requires a (easy to learn, but still) technique, but once you got it, you can enjoy your stainless steel pan for basically forever.

Yes, I’ve checked with a AVM Fritzbox. They do deligate /56.
