This is an event that takes privacy very seriously, where it's not uncommon for speakers to present evidence of crimes, and where a large antifa-flag hangs over the entrance. I think they'll be fine.

The other two on stage where journalists, and while I'm not familiar with German law, that likely limits the police's ability to try to get to Root through them.

If reasonable precations were taken, there will not be any evidence directly tying the person on stage to the crime, and even if there was, them being in costume leaves a lot of room for reasonable doubt about who it actually was.

I strongly disagree that memorization is important or foundational to advanced math. It definitely is useful, but you don't need it. And the more advanced your math gets, the less valuable it becomes.

My experience is that university-level math explicitly tells you to not memorize values and formulas, but to get comfortable finding solutions directly, because then you actually learn what is going on and have methods that are universally useful.

In the real world memorization is even less useful. You will never be as fast and accurate as a calculator, or remember as many values as a precomputed table has. So why bother?

Shouldn't that happen automatically if the drive is identified as removable? And the real solution should be to tell the OS that it's removable?

While that is true, The Cure are goth. And that's what the post talks about.

They have been circling the drain for a long time now. With this cancelation I think they're done. They can't live off Payday 2 forever.

And bacon, and sauce. All of which are likely the most unhealthy parts of it.

Software architects that don't write code are worse than useless

Nice! A big improvement indeed.

I wished you had showed them with similar sharpness settings though. The FSR 3 image is very oversharpened, while the FSR 4 one has the opposite problem so you can't really compare any details.

Yeah I just wanted to illustrate that with some numbers :)

It's a bit counter-intuitive that frame generation is worse the lower your base frame rate is. And Nvidia in particular has no interest in making it clear that this tool is only really good for making a well-running game run even better, and is not going to give your 5070 "4090 performance" in any meaningful way.

I was trying to explain why the game loop would be held back by the rendering speed, even though they run on different hardware.

If you are bottlenecked by the GPU that means the game loop spends some of its time waiting for the GPU. If you then turn on frame generation, you devote parts of the GPU to doing that, which makes regular rendering slower, making the game loop spend even more time waiting. This will increase input latency.

Frame generation also needs to delay output of any real frame while it creates and inserts a generated frame. This will add some output latency as well.

In the opposite scenario, where you are bottlenecked by the CPU, enabling frame generation should in theory not impact the game loop at all. In that case it's the GPU that's waiting for the CPU, and it can use some of those extra resources it has to do frame generation with no impact on input latency.

Most games aren't bottlenecked by your CPU at all. It spends a lot of time waiting for the GPU to be done drawing you a picture.

"Why isn't the game doing other stuff meanwhile?" you might ask, and part of the answer is surely, "Why do stuff faster than the player can see?", while another part is likely a need to syncronize the simulation and the rendering so it doesn't show you some half-finished state, and a third part might be that it would be very confusing for the player to decouple the game state from what they see on screen, like you see yourself aiming at the monster, but actually it moved in between frames so your shot will miss even if the crosshair is dead on.

Framegen is worse the lower your base frame rate is.

The penalty to the speed at which the game runs is much more significant, if you normally run at 40 fps and framegen gives you 60 (30 real) then you have introduced 8 ms of latency just from that. While the same 25% performance cost going from 180 fps to 270 (135 real) adds just 2 ms.

The lower your real frame rate is the harder it will be to interpolate between frames because the changes between frames are much larger, so it will look worse. Also the lower your frame rate the longer any mishaps will remain on screen, making them more apparent.
