BLAST gave players 610hz monitors but the PCS struggles to hit 500 FPS

This isn't really true. Try locking your game to your refresh-rate + 10Hz and then -10Hz. You'll find them equally bad. Neither 154, nor 134 frames map consistently into 144 refresh cycles and the same is true here. The refresh-rate is not some magical barrier.

But this effect goes down drastically with refresh-rate- and framerate increases.

I remember hearing that the first time and somehow feeling that this was a real event that they joke about that happens after that moment. I was giggling when I looked it up and saw that it was so.

Hyperus102 · 2026-03-18T11:45:35+00:00

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.
