I am curious as to why they would offload any AI tasks to another chip? I just did a super quick search for upscaling models on GitHub (https://github.com/marcan/cl-waifu2x/tree/master/models) and they are tiny as far as AI models go.

Its the rendering bit that takes all the complex maths, and if that is reduced, that would leave plenty of room for running a baby AI. Granted, the method I linked to was only doing 29k pixels per second, but they said they weren't GPU optimized. (FSR4 is going to be fully GPU optimized, I am sure of it.)

If the rendered image is only 85% of a 4k image, that's ~1.2 million pixels that need to be computed and it still seems plausible to keep everything on the GPU.

With all of that blurted out, is FSR4 AI going to be offloaded to something else? It seems like there would be a significant technical challenges in creating another data bus that would also have to sync with memory and the GPU for offloading AI compute at speeds that didn't risk create additional lag. (I am just hypothesizing, btw.)

I suppose you are correct. If the bit isn't structural, it doesn't need to pass any test for microcracks. If it is structural and it passes testing, YOLO that shit.

It's just the core frames that need serious attention though. I don't think I have been around a single aircraft that wasn't constantly bleeding some kind of fluid, so everything else not related to getting the thing in the air and keeping it from completely disintegrating while in flight is mostly optional. (I am joking, but not really. Airplanes hold the weird dichotomy of being strangely robust and extremely fragile at the same time.)

And there are significant technology differences. The new upgrade will be the B-52J or K.

Proper aircraft maintenance cycles are intense, so it would surprise me if any of airframes we use now have 1952 original parts. Aircraft are subject to lots of vibration and the aluminum in B-52s will eventually stress-crack because of it. (It wouldn't surprise me if composites were added in many places instead of aluminum replacements, but that is just speculation.)

Also during those maintenance cycles, it's much easier to do systems upgrades since the aircraft is basically torn down to its frame anyway.

It's the same design to what we had in 1952, but they ain't the same aircraft, philosophically speaking.

Report it. (New account, blog spam, funky domain, poorly configured server, etc.)

185C is cold for PLA. It may work for slow prints, but my personal minimum has always been around 200C and my normal print temperature is usually at 215C.

Long extrusions are probably sucking out all the heat from the nozzle and it's temporarily jamming until the filament can heat up again.

Think of the hotend as a reservoir for heat. For long extrusions, it will drain really fast. Once the hotend isn't printing for a quick second, it will fill back up really fast. At 185C, you are trying to print without a heat reservoir. I mean, it'll work, but not during intense or extended extrusions.

Nope. I haven't been able identify what Yahoo is about for about the last 10-15 years, maybe more.

I think they show ads or something.

It seems like it would be extremely fast to me. Take a 50x50 block of pixels and expand those across a 100x100 pixel grid leaving blank pixels were you have missing data. If a blank pixel is surrounded by blue pixels, the probability of the missing pixel being blue is fairly high, I would assume.

That is a problem that is perfect for AI, actually. There is an actual algorithm that can be used for upscaling, but at its core, its likely boiled down to a single function and AI's are excellent for replicating the output of basic functions. It's not a perfect result, but it's tolerable.

If this example is correct or not for FSR, I have no clue. However, having AI shit out data based on a probability is mostly what they do.

They can do whatever they want on Reddit, TBH. However, pointing Lemmy users to Reddit is a bad move in a number of ways. I won't be touching Reddit for this, as an example.

Using Lemmy as a place to shit out advertising for a site that gives zero fucks about selling data to Google kinda rubs me wrong, especially since this AMA is just thinly veiled marketing.... for a privacy app.

While "having the most reach" is a good argument for a few reasons, it doesn't negate how Lemmy was used in this case.

Edit: Don't let my sentiment get in the way of yours. I have nothing wrong with ProtonMail or what its goals are. However, I will get a little defensive of Lemmy and why many people are here to begin with.

Tell everyone about Lemmy and host an AMA here, maybe? Using Lemmy as a billboard for Reddit is kind of insulting.

Just stay away from nearly anything that uses "healing ions" in its marketing material. If it's not a straight-up fake product, it'll likely kill you in due time. (Ozone generators are an exception unless you get a beefy one like mine, and then it can actually kill you.)

Edit: lol! I have seen that video and made my comment about ions before I clicked it. Good video, btw. 5 stars.

Yeah, it's important to realize that the term "fake news" used by Trump was in Nazi Germany style: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lying_press

You can actually find small bottles of water on Amazon marketed as a miracle cure.
