To be honest, my junior year English teacher forced us to read the bible "to have a stronger basis for understanding western literature" and it had zero impact on my lack of religious beliefs. Literally, we spent like 2 or 3 months on that crap. Looking back it was a pretty obvious scam by her, but it had zero impact in the direction that she wanted it to have impact.

Oh yeah, that's a decent one.

Meh, it sounds like the usual "AI will change everything!" bluster and disappointment.

I would try it out myself, just for the sake of curiosity, but unfortunately, my $1/mo 3 month thingie I got with my last phone literally expired today, or course.

Sounds great for Lemmy usage stats?

So no, I don't use a lot of those features. But having to go to $10/mo for unlimited searches is laughable pricing, IMHO. Even $5 for 300 searches is ridiculous. That's basically a week of searches?

I respect the idea of it, but my feeling is that they will never grow the business past a very niche offering if that is how they're going to price it. And I say that as a very privacy oriented person.

Isn’t Kagi pretty expensive though? When I tested it vs Brave and DDG, I was basically unimpressed to the point where anything more than a buck a month seems out of line. (I can’t even remember what they actually wanted, just that it seemed like a lot more than that.)

To be fair, how will you tell the difference from FOX News?

Yep. Maybe it could actually be "modules" that the individual devs submit with their game, essentially.

Current DLSS intent: We can only render this at like 720p with enough frames, so let's do that and use AI anti-aliasing tricks so that when we present it at 4k, none of the jaggies are visible on-screen like they would be with raw 720p upscaling.

DLSS5 intent: Using our pile of stolen artwork neural net that we can now render at 60fps+ let's "reimagine" the entire look of the game as we present it on-screen, even if it was already running at 4k just fine.

TLDR; How big the neuralnet is and what your train it for matters.

This really sucks… they plan to build here with or without city approval.

 

Remember to write the city council and mayor, folks! And the next public meeting about this is Wednesday (see earlier post).

 

Might want to tell your city counsel person to oppose this. Or at least attend the public meeting on 7/23 to learn more about it.
