I think DLSS (and FSR and so on) are great value propositions but they become a problem when developers use them as a crutch. At the very least your game should not need them at all to run on high end hardware on max settings. With them then being options for people on lower end hardware to either lower settings or combine higher settings with upscaling. When they become mandatory they stop being a value proposition since the benefit stops being a benefit and starts just being neccesary for baseline performance.

CheeseNoodle@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•So if we're just good with careening into fascism 2.0 what does the future look like?English10·5 days agoIt always amazes me how radical leftism keeps moving further right. Once upon a time radical leftism meant UBI and immediate radical action on climat change. Now ‘radicall’ leftism is anything left of squads of armed men kidnapping people off the street.
Visual proofs can be deceptive, e.g. the infinite chocolate bar.
Yeh but those local models are usually pretty underpowered compared to the ones that run via online services, and are still more demanding than any game.

CheeseNoodle@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•American attitudes about AI today mirror poll answers about the rise of the internet in the '90sEnglish1·17 days agoI think people would find new ways to struggle that they actually enjoy and would likely end up contributing. Imagine a couple of thousand people with their new modest but stress free budgets decide to join a yearly potato cannon contest, Sure its not going to invent anything new directly but you now have a bunch of people learning about ballistics and stoichiometry and high pressure engineering all egging eachother on to shoot that potato further. The competition gets more and more fierce and with the much lower stakes people start trying some more out there ideas, before you know it you have a modest but highly effective solution to reliably obtaining the correct gas mixture for something like a combined light gas gun.
And that’s a deliberately silly example, you’d get a ton more art, people deciding to be athletes, coders, all sorts of hobies that can encourage healthy competition and often benefit society in surprising ways.

I recall back in the day people working out which images where manipulated by the way the underlying flow of colour and pixel layout didn’t line up, each image ends up with a kind of grain of different size and direction. You could spot ads by detecting which image data doesn’t line up with the majority and cutting it out that way.
CheeseNoodle@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube might slow down your videos if you block adsEnglish2·22 days agoI’ve been wondering about that, also perhaps a browser where your mouse position has seperate client and software side states? I know a lot of data can be gleaned from mouse movements so if the browser only updated its internal cursor position when you actually clicked that would potentially cut out that source of information?

Didn’t we functionally ban all protests under Borris? something about them not being allowed if they inconvenience anyone in any way real or imagined so really you can only have them if you do it alone in a dark closet very quietly, or get permission in which case its not a protest.
