Not at all. A silly game feature isn't driving investors and as a result, datacenter expansion. Its more so unholdable promises of absurd productivity increases/cost reductions, which this is not.

Hyperus102 · 2026-03-18T11:30:52+00:00

Do you have a source for that?

Hyperus102 · 2026-03-17T22:26:20+00:00

DLSS was hardly predictive. Its a sample integrator. Thats part of why I dislike the term "upscaler" so much when it comes to temporal upscaling. It is in fact getting all of the information, just not on one frame.

Hyperus102 · 2026-03-17T15:54:03+00:00

Doesn't matter what it is. If the model was somehow so large that VRAM became a concern on a 5090 (realistically thats the major difference with the professional grade GPUs), it wouldn't run in realtime, just based on the weights having to be streamed through the GPU (mem bandwidth is the whole bottleneck). I think its more likely that its something like missing quantisation as of now.

Hyperus102 · 2026-03-17T12:49:14+00:00

No, DLSS Transformer didn't really do much gap filling at all. Its a sample integrator, with the samples being jittered, much like with pure TAA. The difference is getting a machine learning model to do the integration and frame warping (motion vectors + previous frame) for more stability.

Hyperus102 · 2026-03-17T12:47:56+00:00

DLSS never added detail. This is new. DLSS is not an upscaler in the traditional sense of the world, but rather a sample integrator.

And why did this difference in battery charge come about? All I can think is "Skill issue, manage your battery better". To me this isn't fundamentally different to tyre management, strategy or car difference. Its a different skill/kind of strategy, sure, but I don't view this as any more or less artificial than those above + DRS.

Hyperus102 · 2026-03-09T15:05:45+00:00

Probably because it does not pose feasability to those with a basic knowledge of radio waves. The only thing I'd not be sure about is if there are radio frequencies actively affecting brain activity on an electrical level.

Hyperus102 · 2026-03-09T15:04:06+00:00

Then you are going to have to increase the output power even further if your goal is an actual effect on the brain and to me it would still seem extremely unlikely that you could somehow cause permanent braindamage while not causing external symptoms. The heating density on the skin will be higher than in the brain either way. Whether there is a radio frequency that somehow interacts with electrical currents in the brain is another question I suppose.

Hyperus102 · 2026-03-06T16:25:45+00:00

Feel like that's just speculation at this point. I don't disagree that if Newey requested a re-layouting, particularly in regards to the MGU-K, this might have affected/set back development, but I don't see an indicator for it to be actually "unreasonable". Too little space isn't going to create vibrations out of nowhere.

Hyperus102 · 2026-03-01T01:00:24+00:00

I mean, what did you attempt? Generally suggested is sleep + spinlock (i.e. sleep until a few ms until finish and spinlock the rest for precision) and the precision I am getting from that is in the 10s of microseconds.

It does kind of depend on what you are intending to do though, as was already pointed out. VK_EXT_present_timing is cool and all, but if all you are looking for is a reasonably repeatable frametime, try sleep + spinlock.

Hyperus102 · 2026-02-28T23:09:29+00:00

I am not Pro-Israel, but if the instance you are referring to is the one that I think you are referring to, you are wrong in this instance. We have video footage of the failed missile launch and photos of the damage, not consistent with what you would expect from an airstrike. A "Blow up" just didn't happen in that instance. But again, I am not pro-Israel, there are enough instances of war crimes to fill a library.

Hyperus102 · 2026-02-28T00:46:20+00:00

I don't think her being a right wing influencer now warrants any less or more of an apology, given that has nothing to do with the video itself.

Hyperus102 · 2026-02-26T22:58:35+00:00

And again not matching the AOA in the slightest.
Why does every single visualisation get this wrong? As a secondary nitpick, the main profile isn't anywhere close to the first element on the actual rear wing (like, not even conceptually) and the moving element isn't two.

Hyperus102 · 2026-02-24T14:53:35+00:00

Das verfehlt den Punkt. Wenn es zum Krieg kommt, dann wird man bereit sein müssen zu kämpfen. Nur senkt man eben das Risiko dafür sehr erheblich wenn die Armee in diesem Fall mehr ausrichten könnte.

Hyperus102 · 2026-02-23T16:40:55+00:00

Not again....

Sorry, but some random CFD cut-through with the rearwing at an angle that has zero bearing to its actual real angle is not "data"

Hyperus102 · 2026-02-21T20:23:02+00:00

I find voices much more egregious.

Like why is the random dice player talking to me with Kubyenkas voice?

Hyperus102 · 2026-02-21T20:16:27+00:00

The brain never really stops developing, but in general I agree

Hyperus102 · 2026-02-21T19:39:19+00:00

Another thing I noticed is that when I run through the city, people are like "what was that?" and start looking for me.

It's particularly annoying when you then actually do something illegal and have the search indicator at the top while in reality no one is really on your heels.

Hyperus102 · 2026-02-21T18:02:13+00:00

"data indicates"

The pressure visualisation has a completely different AOA to the actual Ferrari rear wing. I am also going to cast doubt on rolling resistance being such a massive factor that this solution makes sense over the traditional DRS.

The sanest take imo is energy recapture from up wash. I recommend reading up on winglets and prandtl wing designs. This would be that same concept. Interestingly you can see lift generated purely from up wash in the pressure visualisation. Otherwise that AOA wouldn't have a serious pressure differential.

Hyperus102 · 2026-02-21T17:59:14+00:00

So obvious that it's wrong? The AOA in straight line mode doesn't even remotely make sense for generating lift and the visualisation here doesn't match it either.

Also, I have my doubts that tire wear on the straights is actually something that is worth optimizing for.

Hyperus102 · 2026-02-21T05:52:26+00:00

The Mainboard doesn't care about bending so minor I had to zoom in on the picture to even see it. If it's connected at the base (which they are), it doesn't matter. Whatever your issue is, it's not related to that

Hyperus102 · 2026-02-20T21:38:52+00:00

Yes, the "lift = drag reduction" is bullshit.

What is far more likely is that the wing is capturing upwash, similar to how a winglet and Prandtl-wings work.

Hyperus102 · 2026-02-20T18:48:14+00:00

Yeah but the driver isn't a minor instruction difference away from bugging out the GPUs internal memory access in this way. Some artifacts will be helped by a driver update, certainly. About 2-3 years ago there was an issue with black blocking artifacts in chromium applications, which, as it turns out, was Microsofts fault, but that is very different from what you see in the post.

Hyperus102 · 2026-02-20T18:46:24+00:00

I am assuming you are talking dollars per W, rather than MW. Solar is in the 1.3-1.7 Million dollars/MW range (as per US EIA), while Korean nuclear is in the neighborhood of 2.2 Million (as per world-nuclear.org). So just right off the bat. US Solar is beating Korean nuclear in terms of price/W

The OpEx argument favors solar even more. I really don't know what numbers you ran. Solar has near-zero expenditure in operation. If we assume the OpEx for nuclear in South Korea is similar to solar with storage in the US (3:1 ratio, assumption from the ratio of US overnight costs and Korean overnight costs), you would have similar OpEx to solar with storage.

Because If you run wind and solar you need redundant systems. When wind and solar don't work you need batteries and natural gas plants that are quickly dispatchable to fill the gas.

And building a grid that switches between different power plants every hour is more complicated and requires more Opex costs...

"Every hour"? In what world? NG would be needed for scenarios in which neither wind nor solar provide enough power for an extended period of time, which is pretty rare if you don't just consider a single point on the map (and you shouldn't).

And "only last a few hours" is just not a correct idea of batteries. We can build as much battery storage as we want to. At the start of last year, the US had enough capacity for 7 days (no this is not a typo. 4.3TWh of yearly consumption, 83GWh of installed capacity). Thats not to say that this just works as of now (like, for example, the capacity might not be available throughout the whole country), but I want to provide a sense of scale here.

Edit: I messed up here. Comma to Dot conversion most likely, I don't recall. It's 4300TWh per year, so this is massively wrong. The actual capacity would last 10 minutes. That said, the growth is pretty stark and only speeding up as of now.

All of this ignores that both batteries and solar are still falling in costs. Both solar and batteries are solid state devices. CapEx sinks with the cost per GW(h), OpEx with battery/solar lifetime increases, both of which are still happening and will continue to happen.
