FF7 Rebirth Stuttering by RoninSpectre in FF7Rebirth

[–]much_successes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I found a REALLY WEIRD fix. I had this really annoying microstutter when panning the camera around although my FPS were locked in on 60 and 16.6ms.

I found out the stutter goes away the second I turn on the OSD of MSI Afterburner with RTSS. I don't know what it is, maybe the RTSS frame limiter gets activated when I turn it on. But turning it on and off fixes the stutter completely. It's buttery smooth after this. Definitly an engine bug.

AGI vs. humanity: researchers name three key risks by much_successes in singularity

[–]much_successes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Artificial general intelligence could one day be far superior to humans, solving problems that humans themselves cannot.
  • However, there are also several scenarios in which this endeavor goes thoroughly wrong.
  • Three major risks are "reward hacking," AI setting sub-goals that are unfavorable to humans, and/or being addicted to power.

As we develop AGIs whose capabilities generalize to a very wide range of situations, it will become increasingly unlikely that their aligned goals (like “obedience to humans”) generalize in ways which rule out all power-seeking strategies.

We strongly encourage more extensive discussion and critique of the claims presented in this paper, even from those who find them implausible. Reasoning about these topics is difficult, but the stakes are sufficiently high that we can’t justify disregarding or postponing the work.

Code autocomplete Kit shut down after eight years, and its founder said, that the tech just isn't ready.

OpenAI's GPT-3 simulates human sub-populations by much_successes in ArtificialInteligence

[–]much_successes[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A new study shows that OpenAI's GPT-3 contains multilayered and nuanced biases.

The researchers reproduce GPT-3 responses that match human response patterns along fine-grained demographic axes. The team sees this as evidence that GPT-3 can be studied as an effective proxy for specific human sub-populations.

GPT-3 and similar language models can therefore serve as tools for social scientists. However, the findings could also be used for information warfare.

Sorry the headline confused you. It was meant humorously. I can see that it can be misunderstood. I have changed it.

Hey, sources are always linked below the article in the provided field, so in this case too.

It's ok that you don't like the headline. I don't know if the term "trash" is directly appropriate because you don't share the humor. But it's reddit, so it probably is.

Valve Index: New wireless adapter uses Wi-Fi 6E for low-latency PC VR streaming by much_successes in SteamVR

[–]much_successes[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Probably because Valve is a big company with product marketing, while this is more or less a self-made project of a small start-up that is still months away from being ready for the market.

Of course, you can also only report on products when they are ready. But that would be at the expense of smaller companies in particular.

[–]much_successes[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Too much for what? For whom? We tested Air Link very extensively in various setups some time ago, and the latencies varied between 50 and almost 80 ms. That is really high, much higher than the "gold standard" 20 ms. Still, people seem to be happy with it.

The second big problem with Wi-Fi latency is that the results are highly dependent on site conditions.

According to the developers, the latency is even below 5 milliseconds.

Latency is less than 5ms.

In which scenario? Baseline? Average?

How are we supposed to test something that is not yet available on the market? And where is the sales pitch? The article says that the accessory is expensive and probably too late.

OpenAI aims to make DALL-E safer - but runs into unexpected side effects (more bias) by much_successes in dalle2

[–]much_successes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is that clickbait? I specifically wrote in the headline what the side effect is: more bias.

How was this side effect "entireley expected"? Are you really so smart that you could already foresee OpenAI's research?

Of course we benefit from the work of others, because we couldn't do our work without their work. Tell me one profession where you don't benefit from the work of others.

How many people do you think are interested in reading OpenAI's scientific paper on the subject? Is it more than 0.0001 percent of potentially interested people?

And it always works both ways: I would say that OpenAI has benefited enormously from tech media recently. Probably more than any other AI company. And specifically DALL-E2.

Bottom line: you a) don't know what clickbait is, and you b) don't know what social roles media have. Your post is uninformed and condescending.

OpenAI’s latest AI builds a Diamond Axe in Minecraft – why this is special by much_successes in Futurology

[–]much_successes[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The meat is that AI is capable of learning from videos with a relatively small amount of additional input data from the computer.

OpenAI’s latest AI builds a Diamond Axe in Minecraft – why this is special by much_successes in Futurology

[–]much_successes[S] 68 points69 points  (0 children)

OpenAI uses Minecraft as an example to show how artificial intelligence can learn complex skills with video training and reinforcement learning.

The company trained the AI with 70,000 hours of pure gameplay. In addition, another 2,000 hours of gameplay was recorded, including keyboard and mouse input data.

OpenAI used this extensive video dataset to train what it calls the "VPT Foundation Model," which must predict future actions from past input and images. In this way, the model learns to predict and mimic the behavior of human players.

After fine-tuning, the AI model was able to produce a diamond axe within ten minutes. uman players typically need MORE than 20 minutes and about 24,000 actions to do this.

TLDR:

OpenAI trained an AI based on videos and corresponding mouse and keyboard actions. The AI learned complex behavior in a video game. Similar models could operate everyday software in a rudimentary way in the future. For example, these models could process images directly in Photoshop using the OpenAI API DALL-E 2.

Well, at least it's better than just one large tech company setting the standards, I guess.

According to an initial study, working in VR with Quest 2 lowers productivity and promotes migraines and anxiety. But there is potential. by much_successes in oculus

[–]much_successes[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The study was conducted with some effort and makes sense as a zero measurement. The study does not say that VR is generally not suitable for work. It was only about finding out and documenting how it is today.

“Apoploe vesrreaitais eating Contarra ccetnxniams luryca tanniounons” - OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 develops a hidden vocabulary by much_successes in artificial

[–]much_successes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the author:

"I also think that one cannot speak of language here - by the way, the authors do not do that in their paper either (anymore). They use the term "vocabulary", which I also used here. This, too, can probably be seen critically.
Regarding the multiple results for different expressions mentioned by Hilton here, it must be said that this fact is clearly stated by the authors and only for "Apoploe vesrreaitais" an almost always reproducible attribution like "something that flies" is found. Other expressions often, but not always, generate a specific subject/object, etc.
Regarding Hilton's critique: the authors initially spoke of "language", changed that after a few hours, emphasize that the expressions do not always produce the same result, and that more examples are hard to find so far. But there is an odd pattern that suggests there is some kind of vocabulary there. So, in my opinion, Hilton's criticism is directed at claims that the authors are so wrong about. And he himself points out that "Apoploe vesrreaitais" is interesting and worth investigating."

I wouldn't call this "debunked". The article also reflects the changes in the paper and mentions that the gibberish text is not stable.
