Does all this shader really get around is the problem of display inversion? From Gemini: "Display inversion is the process of alternating the voltage between positive and negative for each pixel on an LCD screen to prevent damage. This

We need display manufacturers to provide a refresh cycle that is agnostic of the incoming signal hz sent down the cable AND to either provide shader support (ideally) at the displays hz OR to implement this shader. There really is no need f

Yeah they are two different effects. Theres motion blur on individual objects that you want (as human eyes see/have) then there is full screen motion blur that is due to the display technology (lcd,oled etc) that you dont want (as huma

Not sure this really holds: there is no symbolic LEAN type system in any animal brain as far as I can tell. I do think the point about the AI needs to sanity check is right. I imagine all this is will fall out from the visual, audio and oth

But there is an insidiousness to Meta calling their software 'open source'. It feels as if they are riding on the coat tails of the term as if they are being altruistic, when in fact they are being no more altruistic than any lar

So do video game developers (provide source code to modify their games) the analogy absolutely works. I can list a huge amount of actually open source software that I can see the source code and data for which is very different from Llama

Its not open source. We don't get the data or training code. The small runtime framework is open source but that's of little use as its largely fixed in implementation due to the weights. Yes we can fine tune but that is akin to

Yes its "freeware" or any one of the similar terms we've used to refer to free software.

Its not open source. Your definition would make most video games open source - we modify them all the time. The small runtime framework IS open source but that's not much benefit as you cant really modify it hugely because the weights

Game asset packages - all game assets are read only and need to be compressed and nowadays with SSD's you don't want duplication. Just to clarify that last statement (and something to think about) with HDD's you want duplicat

Why is it you think most major programs are built using C++? Most OS's, most drivers, most browsers, most games, most major applications, most compilers, most servers etc etc.

That is a really weird analogy. Using extreme scenarios to argue your point is never going to put you on a strong footing. Anyway for most systems deployed the customer usually wants to maintain a business using it. If the system constant

No it wasn't OK when Softbank bought them, I vehemently disagreed with the sale then, as this was the next step after Softbank acquired them. Although I dont agree with selling to Softbank at least they didn't have a dog in the ga

Yes the US is all about protectionism, same goes for China, same goes for the EU (also note my use of Europe, EU != Europe). Hence why all three major trade blocks dont have complete free trade deals setup between them (not that comment ha

Just to be clear my statement has nothing to do the 'EU' which is largely a trade body. I specifically used the term 'Europe' and 'free markets' not 'free trade'. This has nothing to do with Brexit t

lol yes and in the next line you see I used 'bought' just a simple typo.

Absolutely. The only bit I don't agree with is that tech isn't everything - to all intense and purposes it is (at this point in time).

I'm a game rendering engineer that uses Unreal (and used Renderware) so I know a little about this subject. If Renderware hadn't been brought by EA (and hence controlled by your competitor), the rest of the industry would probably

Tech sadly is everything hence why it dominates the stock market. Information is the new oil and all that. Its much more than purely economic, whoever controls the tech controls those who use the tech. Hence why China has created its own

When will Europe realise that there is no second place when it comes to a market - the larger player will always eventually end up owning everything. I can not put into words how furious I am at the UK's Conservative party for not prot

A system failed not the ‘elites’. This was a referendum we should never have had. This was a referendum that was badly executed. This was a referendum whose result was impossible to achieve. This is a disaster of a modern democracy. Never h
