  • DLSS is machine learning model trained by Nvidia to invent information to rendered game frames. In general there are two ways:

    • You have two frames of game, model makes up third frame between those two frames, to make game run smoother. This has down side that input lag (you press button and it happens on screen) gets longer. But it increases your FPS (frames per second), which looks smoother.
    • model makes up extra detail to the game frame. Previous versions have mainly being AI upscaling. Game renders in smaller resolution (less pixels), and then it is made larger, and model smooths and makes up details that originally wasn’t there.

    Both of these have same downside, they can cause inconsistency between frames, and have flickering etc.

    This is what DLSS 5 now takes to much more heavier “AI filter” level, because it is not anymore upscaling, but it now can add much more detail that originally wasn’t there. But because the model doesn’t have memory, it must always cause issue that the output will always be bit different. Curious to see how they have overcome that, or is it really so that with DLSS5 with every cutscene, the main character looks different.


  • Modern raspberry pi GPIO pins are compatible with floppy disk cable (similar to PATA). I can tell you how much I enjoyed telling about this to my wife, when I pulled one of them from my magical cable drawer, were I have stored one since the 90’s.

    (Just make sure that there isn’t the one blocked pin, otherwise you might break things)


  • What will probably happen is that the unit tests will go closed source, which sucks because it makes verifying things harder for non maintainers.

    With unit tests people can burn down a forest and use billion tokens to recreate same FOSS project that gives green on all unit tests, and if unit tests are enough to cover things, it will be “good enough” replica.


  • They will just do IPO and get trillion dollar valuation, and poof, they are profitable.

    If you have no soul, get ready to buy malware ads to bad JS libraries suggested by AI, filled with crypto miners and crypto stealers
