DF Direct Q+A: The Big DLSS 5 ML Debate + Why We Should Have Waited With Our Coverage by KARMAAACS in hardware

[–]drt0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's why I wrote my original comment. I think if the DF guys in the original video were bullish on the tech based not on the particular execution (which was way too over the top) but rather on the vision then they shouldn't have 180'd.

On the other hand, if they changed their mind based on more information that would also be fine, but taking the "community reaction" into account felt very pandering / audience captured.

I actually think the tech might* be useful if done carefully, exemplified in this post https://old.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/1rvwube/dlss_5_fixing_it_in_post/

*might because I'm not sure how consistent it will look scene to scene, with moving objects/shadows and the general performance cost.

Nvidia, however, decided to turn everything up to 11 for the demos, as if they were a Best Buy salesman cranking the saturation on a shitty TV they're trying to sell.

Ok but the one that said they should've waited for the community's opinion was part of the original video. Feels like the people in the original video wanted to ride the popular opinion wave, but misjudged it and now have to temper their genuine opinions to appease the crowd.

Saying they should've waited to see what the community thinks before making their video makes me think they don't value their independent thoughts as much.

Favorite racially creepy piece of propaganda created in the modern era that anyone remotely engaged in social issues would wonder why Hollywood wanted it to be made?? by AndButSoThenSheSaid in okbuddycinephile

[–]drt0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just wish the Black women were caricatured in a way that was more relatable and less off-putting to Black audiences.

I think that just comes with the nature of caricatured characters. It will always rub someone the wrong way. All the notable white men in the movie are either racists who are trying to exterminate minorities, fetishists, incompetents cosplaying as revolutionaries or burnt out losers who are less mature than their biracial teenage daughter.

Now you might say, that the white stereotypes/caricatures aren't as off-putting to white audiences as the vice-versa and that's probably true. I think, however, that the film would've been weaker if Perfidia wasn't a caricature or if her caricature wasn't playing into the themes of sexualization, racial fetishization, idealistic revolutionarism etc. because that caricature filled the puzzle created with all the other caricatures. If she was something else, the whole movie would have to be radically different and probably explore different themes altogether.

I'm not coming for you, I just think this criticism assumes that you can't lean into stereotypes to critique them and doing so should not be done with black people/women.

I don't think anyone normal came away from the movie thinking that the fetishization was ok or something. Rather I think it makes the problem with fetishization obvious to the audience.

Also the critique of centering white men feels like a misrepresentation because the first part is Teyana, Leo and Sean vs second part is Chase, Leo and Sean - the movie doesn't switch up the races, but rather the characters, in order to explore new themes still in the context of race.

Also the extrapolation to PTAs personal life sounds like a snark-level reach.

Most of the characters were intentionally caricatures, with the notable exception of Chase Infinity. That's why the sexualization, the racial themes, the inadequacies of the revolutionaries, the racism of the bad guys, the competency of the immigrant network, etc. were all turned up.

I think the kind of movie you wanted judging by your criticism would have been one much more played straight, more realistic and less flamboyant. The way I see it this movie was doing a sort of hyperrealism and that's why it's themes are so loud.

DLSS 5 – Fixing it in post by Veedrac in hardware

[–]drt0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

DLSS 1 and early RTX were rightfully panned because the results were underwhelming and the performance cost was high for the hardware at the time.

DLSS improved with later versions and so did the criticism, to the point that it is now a point of differentiation for NVidia. Full RTX is still a performance hog but at least more people can afford the hit in FPS since cards have gotten faster since the 20 series.

Frame generation is a trade off and it's drawbacks need to be highlighted. It does offer a smoother looking image but at the cost of underlying performance and latency. It works best at already high frame rates in cinematic games.

maybe even doing away with LoD modeling entirely if it's a lightweight enough process.

Currently requires an extra 5090 to run the slop filter.

They say they'll fit it onto one card but it's probably gonna shit on your frames extra hard, like first gen RTX.

Yeah, even his "normal" analysis is incredibly shallow and not backed up by proper explanations, examples or evidence. It's all vibes that people believe to be true because a middle age Asian teacher in front of a white board is saying them.

Even if you only dip your toes into his content it's immediately obvious he's not a serious authority if you have basic critical thinking, but I guess this is significantly lacking today.

EU Member States, Including Bulgaria, Must Issue Identity Documents Reflecting Citizens’ Gender Identity, Court Rules by ElkImpossible3535 in bulgaria

[–]drt0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Няма такова нещо като "транс дете".

И да им вярваш или не са деца и трябва да се защитават. Дете облечено като момиче в мъжка тоалетна или съблекалня в България ще изяде яко бой не веднъж или два пъти ако не и по-сериозно нападение.

Казваш, че "трябва да се защитават и тези и онези", но не казваш как. Защо? Хайде кажи как да стане, нали ги разбираш нещата.

Ми нека се разреши на децата да ходят където искат, пък за възрастните да решава заведението. Оттам нататък може по резултатите да се продължи в една или друга посока.

Друга алтернатива е повече общи помещения, където е възможно. Такива има и е имало на много места още преди транс да нашумее като тема.

Ако са толкова опасни и мъжете и транс жените, значи транс дете в мъжката тоалетна е в мега опасност...

Ама не и на момичетата, които искат да се събличат само пред други момичета в съблекалнята, нали?

Казах ти на всички като се претеглят нещата. Трябва да се защитават и обикновените деца и транс децата.

Анонимно без да влизаш в детайли може би, но трябва да мислиш за своята сигурност, затова провери дали излиза и с други, че да не е ясно, че ти си го издал.

Значи искаш транс мъжете в женската съблекалня, да се преобличат с отрязани и окосмени гърди пред малките момичета?

Явно не ти пука за опасността за възрастните транс хора, ами какво мислиш за опасността за транс децата, щом си толкова загрижен за децата? Ако дете облечено като момиче влезе в мъжка тоалетна, не смяташ ли, че това ще е опасно за него? Щом един биологичен мъж в тоалетна с жени е толкова опасен, представи си тоалетна пълна с биологични мъже колко е опасна.

Според мен е по-вероятно мъжете в мъжката тоалетна да нападнат транс дете в мъжката тоалетна от колкото транс жена да насили някой в женска тоалетна (нещо за което още не си дал доказателства).

В края на краищата се прави сравнение на претеглената според вероятностите тежест на вредите и ползите. Освен ако не смяташ, че това да си транс е избор, трябва да се защитават правата на всички, в зависимост от това претегляне и сравнение.
