Comment Re:"Gamers Hate" (Score 1) 124

Frame gen is more of a mixed bag, I tend to think of it as a motion smoothing effect rather than "free performance". It's only useful in a narrow range of scenarios. The marketing of "Turn 20 fps into 120 fps with 6x frame gen" is BS.

frame gen's best use-case is turning high fps games into very high fps games--e.g., 60fps to 120+fps.
high fps games have low latency, so you dont notice the little latency FG adds.
if you want CRT levels of motion clarity, you need a lot more than 120fps, and frame gen is really the only way to get there.

as for neural rendering (dlss5), it'll likely be massively refined/rebuilt (like dlss1), amd/intel will release their own versions, major engines will integrate it, consoles will use it, and itll become ubiquitous.

Our nation has perpetrated violence throughout the nations of the people who are coming here for relief, and it was executed by and excused with racism. Denying [immigrants] entry to apply for asylum, which is their legal right per international treaty to which we are a signatory (making it the second-highest law of the land, per the constitution) is therefore an act of culturally and nationally entrenched racism.

~80% of illegal immigrants do not apply for asylum. perpetuating an abused system is negligent.

framing racism as the great engine of america is simply lazy. if racism were the key, the world would have a great many more superpowers.

NATO is also an international treaty requiring signees to spend at least 2% GDP on defense, but historically less than 20% of members follow the rules. this is one example. asymmetrical expectations for america is not a coincidence.

What business does an immigration agency have imprisoning U.S. citizens ...

ICE are formally federal law enforcement officers. you know what this means, unless youre playing dumb for your benefit.

constantly and purposefully getting in their way via persons/cars, threatening/antagonizing them, damaging property (that taxpayers pay for), etc. might get you the antifa purple belt, but most dont see that as a positive thing. calling all this "merely recording the police" ensures you only surround yourselves with people who will share your toothbrush.

let alone murdering them?

murder is premeditated.
basically all arrests are a "kidnapping" if you want to keep such a loose definition and adopt terms for your benefit.

here's the main thing: illegal immigration isnt a popular policy, and just because you have friends or family who are here illegally, doesnt mean you get to impose your will and frame it as a moral pilgrimage.

The Chinese are spending a lot less than the US; and are getting essentially the same results, if not better.

there is no chinese nvidia; top performing models are not chinese; deepseek was a splash, not a wave; SMIC doesnt compete with TSMC or even lesser foundries.

these are present day results, the sum product of policy/administration/everything, not what-ifs or projections.
if may very well change, but at present, china leading AI is fan fiction.

Among other things, humans don't consume the entire internet to string together a coherent sentence. Humans learn to read usually with a single textbook. The difference in information volume is astounding.

from birth, humans spend their entire lives observing and studying language, oral and written.
even then, many do it poorly.

dont believe you understand the conditions required to successfully test your "single textbook" hypothesis.

She was obstructing justice, then assaulted a federal agent while trying to evade arrest.

So the penalty of obstructing justice is now DEATH? Do you hear yourself?

fairly sure the important part isnt "obstructing justice", it's "assault[ing] a federal agent"... with a car.

cant point to any peer reviewed studies at the moment, but the theory is hitting humans with cars may lead to elevated tension with unforeseen consequences.

My entire family is fat and nearly all eat responsibly. I am more responsible than the overwhelming majority of skinny people on the planet

this is often a primary contributor to obesity: believing your diet is suitable for your height/weight/body type/activity level/metabolism.

american food is a minefield: convenient high calorie, low cost meals everywhere; restaurant dishes (salads included) that're well over 1000 calories before factoring in appetizers/free items/drinks; foods with tons of sugar and salt (even basic bread); food laden with preservatives, artificial ingredients, and other "shortcut" ingredients; etc.

it's not a responsibility issue... many--most--dont thoroughly understand what theyre eating on a regular basis.
many also grossly over-estimate their level of regular physical activity.

"Both sides" is bullshit.
You will never find Biden-era equivalents

you may be drawing from your personal perspective here exclusively; consider another:

- [Biden never ordered] the US military to fire on shipwreck survivors.

instead he let drug boats come in.

- [Biden never pardoned] someone who helped flood the US with cocaine

correct; but the US is still flooded with cocaine (though of course, largely due to demand + relatively lax borders).

- [Biden never pardoned] a hedge-fund manager who fleeced families out of millions.

he instead pardoned his son who made millions selling... questionable things/access.

So you somehow found a way to blame DEI in an instance where it had zero mention? I guess DEI was the talking point on Fox News today.

not op, but in 2011, intel hired musician will.i.am as the "director of creative innovation".
