Seriously, what's the point of using AI to generate details that even bleeding edge hardware can't run at a decent framerate (most top out at 25~FPS, the newest ones top out around ~30-45 FPS) without resorting to another AI to fake frames to pad out the FPS drops with?

There's not a single game that requires you to use AI to get decent framerates. You just need to question whether you should be running the game at 4K with all visual eye-candy turned on or not. In virtually every title on the market the requirement for AI frame scaling and AI frame generation is almost inseparably linked with someone trying ray tracing, or attaching a super fancy screen to hardware which just can't keep up.

If you got a GPU purchased sometime int he past 4 years, turning raytracing off will give you the frame rates you're looking for.

And many parts of it are also significantly colder than Iceland.

The climate of Alaska is almost universally sub-arctic. The climate of Iceland is almost universally tundra. They are very different. There's far more to this than just temperature. Speaking of which, the daily means during the warm season in Alaska averaged over the country are less than 1degree different from Iceland. Mosquitoes are seasonal, Alaska has far colder winters, which brings the year around average down, but isn't appreciably different in the summer.

The world has gotten worse for anyone that works for a living and better for anyone who owns shit for a living.

Horseshit. I think over the years you've just grown increasingly unable to separate concepts.

We still have more flexible working now than we did before the pandemic. Over the years my job has turned from a strict 9 to 5 to a one with increased flexibility. Even those people covered by return to work mandates have more flexibility in working hours than before.

I don't know how you managed to link tribalism, moral panics, racism and transphobia into work. But I will give you the benefit of doubt and assumed you either posted this rambling non-sequitur before your morning coffee, or after your evening trip to the pub.

Please pick a topic for your posts and link your words to that topic. You sound like my drunk grandpa talking about how his life was better as a kid.

But the fact of the matter is, it is more important than wherever the fuck you're from, in every single objective measure of importance.

Actually it's not. A body's name by its nature has its importance dictated by the group representing its users. The USA isn't an exclusive user of the body of water in the ocean so the naming convention falls to the agreement of an intergovernmental body. If they wanted to rename a lake within its borders more power to them, they are the only authorities on that, but outside the USA is irrelevant, the only important people in this scenario are the International Hydrographic Organization who are the internationally recognised authority on charting of oceans recognised by maritime organisations and governments the world over.

And they call it Gulf of Mexico.

As do we when we do projects there, except when we have to submit any documents to the US government. Then we run the documents through a CoPilot agent that simply looks for all variations of Gulf of Mexico and changes it to America to make the world's least secure prez feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

You're not important. Even when we need to work with you the world treats you with distain. It's a shame. I do recall a time you were respected.

The US is a majority of the English-language world.

No the US is a majority of the people living in a country with English as the official language world. They are a tiny portion of total English speakers in an official capacity. It's important to remember that the USA doesn't dictate the English language beyond their borders. There's well over a billion people who do not live nor are they governed by any country that recognises the English name "Gulf of America".

No I didn't. I'm following the OP's logic. Intel is no different, that's despite their product listing being higher, cadence being different, having acquired Altera, Habana labs, Mobileye, just to name the ones in the billions.

I didn't write the rules, I just made a comment following the absurdity. By the way Xilinx doesn't remote account for the increase. They weren't a company with twice the employee count of AMD, so even with your rules the point stands.

We've seen what these mega studios shit out when they try and be original. Be thankful they are simply trying to recreate something that is known to be good. Mega game developers are like my niece, when she draws a picture for you it's completely unrecognisable, but she's not too bad using a colouring in book.

Yes that's the state of the industry. Thank god for indie studios.

Diwali firecrackers prompted the current crisis.

Solving today's isolated event doesn't solve the underlying problem. I think virtually all people would say treating the underlying very high base level of air pollution is far more important than solving what is a very short lived smog problem. People aren't going to get healthy by banning Diwali firecrackers, not when the average year round Air Quality is 2x worse than the recommended short term daily peak healthy exposure from the WHO.

It's sort of like telling someone "don't go swimming, you'll get wet" while you're both standing in a torrential rain.
