"And your etymology is a fantasy. "
You've confused c.f. with e.g..
Only if you want your delivery to be very expensive. The article kind of didn't bother to mention that only the ZQ-3's first stage is reusable, so it's more like a "Starship-esque Falcon 9", both in terms of reusability, size, payload, diameter, etc..
Seriously, what's the point of using AI to generate details that even bleeding edge hardware can't run at a decent framerate
I don't know what you're talking about. This is as far as I can tell about the process of creating game assets in the first place - not about generating them in realtime. It doesn't have any impact on performance.
I've used AI model generators (mainly image-to-model), and for game-type assets, they're usually good enough, though you still of course want a human to exert control over them. But it's way faster than from-scratch modeling. For say 3d printing, though, you really need to decompose the image into smaller components, process each individually, and merge, because otherwise too much fine detail gets lost into the texture instead of being part of the actual model. Regardless, they've been improving at a good pace. I haven't tried (as I've not had a need) but I think they now have model generators that even rig the models.

IMHO, the most interesting thing they did was with the palette. They were obsessed with getting not just images snapped by the satellite as the sky, but having them actually look good, and even a "smart" mapping algorithm to the in-game palette wasn't good enough for them. So they wrote an algo to simultaneously choose a palette for both the colours in the satellite image and the colours in the game's graphical assets so it would pick colours best for both of them, and then remapped both the satellite image and the game's assets to this new palette. Also, normally satellite images are denoised on the ground, but a partner had gotten a machine learning denoising algo running on the satellite.
One thing they weren't able to deal with was that the game tiles the sky background, which is fine because it's a tileable image, but obviously random pictures of Earth aren't (except the nighttime images, which are all black!). If they had had more time, I imagine they would have set up something like heal selection to merge the edges, but one of the problems was that in order to take images of Earth, the satellite had to be oriented in a way that increased its drag and accelerated its deentry... so ironically, playing DOOM was accelerating the satellite's doom.
It was the megacorps that backed the woke trans agenda. Amazon, Microsoft, Google (remember James Damore's memo saying that men and women were different?)
And then a transformer shot zir way through a school of white Christian children solely for their identity and shortly thereafter Biden declared a trans holiday? ON EASTER!
Don't think this wasn't deliberate because it was. How many of you got the day off at work for this holiday?

This isn't surprising to anybody who's studied the psychology of political science.
Those who identify as 'conservative' value maintenance much higher than those who identify as 'progressive'. You're more likely to see them in their driveway changing their oil and measuring their tire tread depth. It's just different kinds of people with different time-preference mindsets.
Note that with a limited budget maintenance spending is money that cannot be spent on immediate benefits.
You need to allocate some of the benefits money to upgrading the IT systems so there's less to hand out. "How could you possibly cut their benefits?" is the kind of misplaced empathy that undercuts the system that they feel is valuable.
Of course there's usually a Federal bailout in the wings for people who don't plan ahead so the incentive systems are all completely misaligned for good governance. Since the Lockdowns we've seen the weaponization of the Dollar through sanctions and tariffs that have pushed world oil markets to the Yuan and cross-border settlements in sovereign currency exchanges, so the Dollar is in freefall compared to commodities which means those bailouts are going to end very soon.
As this reckoning becomes too real to ignore the populations will move strongly to vote for candidates who seem to understand the value of maintenance.
Yeah, and Healthcare is 20% of GDP.
According to Keynesian economists, if we were all much healthier the economy would be worse off.
I'm not sure how much more evidence you need that the entire economic school is a bunch of self-styled money-priests making excuses for government spending.
Keynes did some really good early work but then he got caught diddling kids and after that the King's spending was all the best thing anybody could do.
An early version of "trust the experts".
So the code was written by people who aren't familiar with the idea of "fail-safe"?
I might have gone to school for software engineering but I never equated it with building a bridge at 4000' over a canyon. Those are different things.
But none of my classmates would have thought about building a stack that fails into random or dangerous conditions. We always built from the ground up and verified states as new functionality was added with test evaluation of the possible error states.
And those classes were in C++89 without the advantages of proper exception handling like Java or Python provide.
I think if I were in the market for a $5000 IoT mattress I'd want to see something like a UL label on it. I guess the hardware guys put in a thermal switch so the heating elements shut off at 110*F? Thank goodness a runaway fire wasn't a failure mode.
I wouldn't personally ever spend that kind of money on something like that but if I were rich and disabled maybe there would be use cases.
But good do see you're on the side of the CEOs and against the little guy.

If there were animals adeptly using fire long before humans existed, we would not call humans the first to "master fire" just because humans understood what they were doing.
