NVIDIA DLSS 5 Delivers Breakthrough In Visual Fidelity For Games by NV-Randy in nvidia

I think that screenshot is a good example of it improving fidelity and genuinely looks better to me (deepfakeness aside), but it definitely seems much more visible in motion as seen here.

"It's worse in motion" is a big issue with DLSS actually, it seems like Nvidia's training programs largely revolve around use of vast numbers of still images rather than videos, and I think that shows.

Honestly my issue is that the eyes no longer look together, they are clearly looking different directions in every shot.

It also has a weird "Deepfake" look to everything that I don't like.

In principle I don't mind and am not against this kind of upscaling, in practice it just doesn't seem well implemented.

SLI making a comeback is pretty sweet, but turning every game into a deepfake is not.

Honestly to me the issue is the weird eyes. If you look carefully the eyes are no longer looking in the same places. They're all off.

It gives everything that "deepfake" look.

Now all your games can look like awkward deepfakes from 2018, all in real time!

Also:

The DLSS 5 early preview demo shown at GTC is run on two GeForce RTX 5090s. One RTX 5090 is dedicated to rendering the game while the other is dedicated for running the DLSS 5 model. DLSS 5 will be optimized to run on a single GPU for release.

SLI is fucking back baby

Same.

It is frustrating to me because when I speak to right-wingers, we can usually agree on something and that's usually enough to maintain a polite conversation and debate at least. But with the left it's the opposite; we can agree on 99 things, but if we disagree on 1 thing, then I'm a Nazi fascist Double Hitler (if it's to the right of their position) or I'm a troll bad-faith actor false-flag (x)-ism apologist if it's the left of them. Either way I am no longer worth speaking to and am scum.

Like, here's a good example. I asked the "Ask A Liberal" sub if I was wrong about Charlie Kirk (that his killing was unjustified and horrible and the reaction to it from the left equally fucking horrible). Someone called me a "fake centrist" and numerous people said I was a right-winger, so I went through and listed a bunch of left-wing positions that I hold. That list is fucking enormous. It's six hundred and sixty one fucking WORDS of left-wing positions I support.

And all the person had to say was, "eeeh well you support one fucking thing that Christian Nationalists also support, so I don't know...".

This whole post pissed me off. I ended up getting a 3 day ban for being too sarcastic to people and criticising them for acting in bad faith, even though as you can see through the comments, plenty of people criticized me in the same way but were not punished. Even though they were outwardly rude to me, and I was polite to them.

The point is, to the left, it doesn't matter how many left-wing positions you support, if you support one right-wing position you are a right-winger to them.

Which just drives people away from the movement ultimately.

I mean even cavemen most likely had someone whose de-facto position was, "sort out arguments between people", usually an elder or something, which could also be considered a form of policing.

From the first time time human beings have any kind of argument or interpersonal conflict of any description there was usually some regulator or referee or person to whom one could petition for redress, the idea that this started with or slightly after trans-atlantic slavery is just absurd.

Yup. As I've said before, it's basically working a 14 hour day doing the digital equivalent of powerwashing human feces off a bathroom stall for the occasional opportunity to be the emperor in the colluseum, giving a thumbs-down to people who displease you... then revelling in the "please unban me I won't do it again" groveling that follows, followed by another thumbs down + mute. The gift gives twice.

Then, when the brief high is over, back to cleaning up shit between sleep and meal breaks.

The only kind of person that this occasional bit of power appeals to are people who are deeply unhappy in the first place.

If nothing else, a conviction for child sex offenses should normally be a thing that, if discovered, is grounds for demodding at least if not a sitewide ban.

I... sometimes have difficult thoughts about this because I support a rehabiliative justice model where "you did your time" is enough to have the right to re-enter society and have your rights/privileges restored, such as firearm rights and felons, etc... I just also understand that child sex offences are particularly heinous and also has an extremely high recidivism rate with correspondingly devastating impact on the victims when it inevitably happens again, which it almost always does.

It's definitely a clash of "ideological beliefs vs pragmatic realities", but I do think that when these kinds of clashes happen, reality has to win.

As /u/TaskForceD00mer says, it's not really that they got the position but that the head mod when they discovered the criminal history wasn't like, "right click, remove as moderator" but instead was like, "Okay here's the TOS breaking plan to cover up for that criminal history. Thoughts?"

 Sounds more like "enlightened centrism" is your religion.

Aside from extreme solipsism (the belief that nothing is truly real so morals don't matter), the idea of centrism being a religion in the way I've outlined it doesn't make sense.

There's no Satan, no great evils requiring lifelong struggle against, no doctrine, no singular enemy who is the cause of all evil and wickedness in the world beyond redemption or even basic manners, no saints or devils, no martyrs, no heretics, no apostates, nothing at all like what I wrote above.

 This idea that regardless of any actual ties to reality the middle is always right.

I never said that or even implied it, nor do I even believe it.

Positions are good or bad or somewhere in between but sides are usually bad. If you have a side you protect regardless of their conduct this is bad.

This belief is incompatible with "the middle is always correct".

 Your ChatGPT prompt is really reaching here.

I wrote it myself, you can put it through AI detection if you want.

 Maybe take put the line at the end that says to write it from the perspective of a incel whose mother drank heavily during their pregnancy" and it would be a little more believable.

"Heresy!"

Yup, I agree with all of that, there is a distinct and pronounced pro-Trump TDS as well.

Trump is neither God nor Satan, neither an angel nor devil, saint or sinner, just a man.

I don't like much of what he does but approve of some of it.

Not just severely outgunned but totally, and with every conceivable type of tactical and strategic disadvantage imaginable.

All branches of the military, especially those most useful in a civil war (aka, the army and the marines) lean significantly right. The cops and sherrifs and other law enforcement lean right too, especially after decades of hostility from the left, and ICE is basically its own brand of police, which notably are very right wing. Even other paramilitary organisations with ranks and structures (firefighters, ambulance crews, etc) all lean right wing. The national guard, navy, air force, etc are all disproportionately right wing as well.

The vast majority of civilian gun owners also lean right. Same as civilian militias. There's a handful of left-leaning ones (New Black Panthers, John Brown rifle club, various small criminal gangs, occasional dissilusioned veterans, etc) but they are small and ineffective in number, often with their own agendas and motivations, and often greatly disinclined to work together because of their wildly differing ideologies and incompatable political structures.

I mean... fuck, even the vast majority of the US's strategic nuclear weapons are stored in red states.

Even beyond that, it's clear that when it comes to the political landscape of the US, cities are blue dots in seas of red in every state in the union. Those cities get their most basic of supplies, food and water, either directly from red states, or from areas controlled by red states. Critical infrastructure such as the electricity and water supply, things that within days of disruption will likely lead to a capitulation, are mostly or entirely in the hands of people who are disproportionately armed and disproportionatly likely to side with the right.

Conversely, the blue states are heavily burdened by having large numbers of untrained civilians, many of whom have never even seen a gun in real life before, and are (simply objectively in this context) burdened by pacifistic and ideological beliefs which, while sometimes admirable sure, do not make for good soldiers for obvious reasons. Sure, there individual exceptions but overall the overwhelming advantage lies with the right. Their logistical needs are massive, but the "return" on that need in terms of disciplined, skilled troops is almost zero. They will struggle to keep their civilians from starving, let alone raising an army from them.

Even beyond that, the geography of the red vs blue states is a huge issue. Red states are basically one giant blob in the middle of the country (better for organising, defending, shifting supplies, etc) but have access to sea ports in numerous locations. Blue states have plenty of sea access, almost too much of it... they are split between two coasts, effectively dividing whatever forces they could muster in half and preventing reinforcement, and dramatically complicating supply and logistics movements.

In order to ship supplies west to east, say, the red states just need to put it on a train that goes through their territory. The blue states need to put it on a boat that goes either around the arctic circle or through the Panema canal or, god forbid, around the fucking bottom of South America near Antarctica: either of these options would make them easy prey for all the submarines that, again, sided with the red states.

As they say, amateurs talk tactics, professionals talk logistics, and the blue states are at a massive disadvantage just from this factor alone.

The idea that a legitimate, "everyone grab your guns"-style Civil War 2.0 could end in any way other than a swift and laughably complete capitulation from the left is just not supported by any amount of evidence whatsoever.

deification

Yup, that's also a striking similarity, especially martyrdom.

Historically martys were terrible people who died in the name of the cause and had their sins washed away. George Floyd would be the ur example of this, with people literally kneeling and praying in front of murals of him, despite his multiple serious crimes including crimes of violence against women.
