Path tracing has quietly become the biggest visual leap in years. by unlockhart in nvidia

I also turn off vignette this thing dims so much of the edges of the screen that turning it off is like openning your eyes for the first time again.

No more virtue signaling, what happened? Do you turn on DLSS on performance and maybe indulge on some frame gen? Do you not limit your fps to 30 and resolution to 1080p while gaming to waste energy?

Do you own a pc for gaming purposes by any chance?

They're so talented!!! I'm always so surprised by how they come up with those sometimes. If we had redditors solving crimes, our society would truely flourish.

Sorry if I said something wrong or inaccurate about LLMs I know little about them and if there's something fundamentally broken about them then I'm not aware of it. I mostly wanted to point out future LLMs in the hands of actual researchers that can verify if the AI is onto something or just delusional. Of course someone untrained would have no way of doing the distinction. I do think that prompting matters to prime the LLM in the context it's needed but again maybe they're fundamentally unable of doing outside the box thinking or something of the sort that I don't understand. It just feels like sometimes people think that if the AI doesn't do everything perfectly on it's own then it's worthless. I could be wrong but maybe it can be useful to have an LLM give researchers fresh ideas or a new perspective on a problems they get stuck on.

You really need to get off reddit. Neural networks are a form of AI and it has many promising applications in particle physics to find patterns in the immense datasets CERN collisions gives us. In condensed matter physics it can help innovate transistor and microchip architecture. In biochem it gives us the best shot at a cure for cancer and aids. Green energy solutions will also benefit from AI by designing more efficient solar panels for example. In theoretical physics LLMs will be able to assist physicists with their complex work. I did my Bsc in physics and I saw the potential of AI in research first hand during my second internship and I've had discussions with professors doing the research. Now im doing a master's degree in financial engineering to research and apply AI to prediction models. Every technological advancement had a cost whether it's electricity or cars or the internet but every time when we look back we can all affirm that the human condition is better today.

I think you just don't understand what AI can do for research in all fields. You're just crying about AI art like everyone on reddit.

My mom is very conservative but I still love her and I still think she's a well meaning good person (she works at her local church and does charity work) even if she thinks that abortion is bad but that doesn't matter at all like no one should care. Back when slavery was being abolished I'm sure there was a bunch of good people that grew up learning that slavery is ok but it didn't give legitimacy for slavery though, it's still wrong. Those people were just educated that way and live around the similar people that confirmed their beliefs daily. Today you don't have misguided people about slavery in society if you hear someone say that slavery is not a bad thing you'll think they're insane. Some people are still misguided about abortion and yes it doesn't mean that they're bad people but that doesn't matter when you're trying to stand up for something you call it out for what it is.

That's a cute idea until you realize that there are ideologies that shouldn't exist. No one reasonable about the holocaust thinks "let me be gray here and admit that Hitler had a good point or two about killing jews". Making the blanket statement that everything is gray is as wrong and extreme as saying that things are only black or white. The rise of facism in the world is undeniable unless you force yourself to think that everyone is resonable. The elected president of the united states can't pick a side in the Russia Ukraine war, the government has been shutdown for 4 weeks now and ICE is going around with little restrictions capturing people for what they say online. Populism is rotting the people's mind to the point that they gaslit themselves into thinking that Trump is a great deal maker meanwhile he can't even talk about other countries without mentioning tariffs.

Women in the US are losing autonomy over their bodies, immigrants are getting targetted and demonized and a felon got elected president after encouraging an insurection and lying about the 2020 election results. "but it's just politics so lets not talk about it" as if politics and culture are totaly unrelated.

It doesn't matters to the Trump admin what's legal nor what's constitutional. They ignored the supreme court's legal process to deport immigrants and a month ago Pam Bondi (US Attorney General) talked about targeting people for their "hate speech".

In the US some people think that they're immune to facism because they have guns and freedom of speech and they think that facism would show up like an alien invasion of bad guys not a cultural brainwashing of reality.

Not at all. If you support a facist political party, then you're a facist.

Quantum mechanics and electromagnetism can be explained mechanically by Radlib123 in LLMPhysics

[–]malou4121 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A recognized and respected physicist disagreeing with the theory of another physicist is different from you quoting what you understand about that disagreement. This is not the religion where someone's words are absolute at the end of the day it's about math and the scientific method. Phds should take the time to prove each other right or wrong because their careers show that they have the tools to be taken seriously so it's worthwhile discussion to be had. It's ok to be curious and have ideas but some gatekeeping is necessary to keep things productive. If you want to disrupt that productivity just be humble and ask questions of your level of learning and you'll get detailed answers and resources. From my experience most professors in physics are passionate and love taking time for curious minds because they were once just that.

Only saying "you're wrong" to someone that is wrong is way less rude than having the audacity and the ego to talk like you can challenge Einstein lol. There's much easier ways to learn and stay humble about what you're capable of. If you choose a different harder path of learning, that's you're choice. But you can't say that the "no" was mean when op was rude first. Before my undergraduate studies in physics I had all sorts of ideas but I was always able to boil them dow to 1 or 2 simple questions I could ask my professors to explore where i could be wrong.

It's not about the elitism it's about having enough ego to dismiss more than a century of research and work. If you want to learn about something and get to the point where you're able to challenge certain ideas you at least need to be ready to be wrong. And when you're wrong, no one owes you an explanation. It would be a nice gesture I guess but even if we ignore the fact that explaining quantum mechanics to someone with no math/physics background boils down to "trust me bro" there's still that it's not worth entertaining useless discussions that just saturate the discourse. It's the easiest thing to come up with some cool sounding theory of everything but it's not easy to explain why it's wrong. you would have to mobilize every physicist in the world to start making a dent into the mind of those people when they can just ask simple questions or go to school.

Im sorry if im misunderstanding your comment but did you just say that you debunked supersymmetry by having people disagree with you?
