I read a couple of days ago Microsoft had a link to 38 terabytes of private data up on GitHub for three years.
Yeah, I saw that one. I think the data they used to train their LLM or something? Wonder how many times you can find data that says “all obey your master Bill Gates!” in there?

I guess this is good but I have no idea what it is.
Instead of your GPU initially generating everything in whatever your screen resolution is, it does it at a lower resolution and then they use some AI tool to fill in the missing pixels.
It’s faster / less demanding and probably almost necessary for some situations where you have a 4K+ display and are running a AAA game with the highest graphics settings.
Yeah but it doesn’t render so good yet, especially with games with fast moving objects. Things leave a “trail” behind them as they move fast and as the AI struggles to fill the missing pixels.

@Lob12 yeah right. I’ve only read casually about it and won’t get to try it until my next laptop upgrade. Since I’m a tight arse, that will be a few years away unfortunately.
-
Tried it a few time since I upgraded my PC and always turned it off.

This Facebook ad seems legit. Also nice to see Google dogfooding their free Google Sites website builder.

This happens on some TVs with action movies and sports.

That thing is just another data vacuum that will capture all the data you are feeding it through. We are banned from even considering it for healthcare by our company.

Two terabyte ram sticks. Wow. It’s been years since I built a new PC.

That’s not RAM for CPU, that’s the disk.

@Kilemall ah, OK. I should have known since I have two M2 ssd’s.
Been a while -
I saw yesterday someplace that a photo of a prototype Nvidia graphics card had an slot for an SSD. I didn’t really understand how it would be used.

I bet it’s used to put a SSD in it.
-
@Lob12 damn, I never even considered that. Those clever bastards.

So it mostly seems to be about utilizing otherwise wasted PCIe lanes and not something that the graphics card itself would use directly.

That’s weird, I would have thought it was as used to preload software off the channels for the use of the card. Those things are practically standalone computers anyway.
Or maybe dump the output of the video card for AI work.

The AI stuff could use disk cache. I have run out of memory trying to upscale my pornz.

Ooooh ya, the very thing you were on about Hog- home compiling of upscale drivers and the like.
If they truly have run out of Moore’s law, maybe we’ll see more crazy architecture to get around it.

RISC-V has come along a lot further than I imagined it could in a short time. The above guy used a couple of cheap, raspberry PI-like, RISC-V computers for a whole week and surprised me with how much he could do with them. ARM still have all their smarts and skills and will remain in demand for mid to high range phones and other devices that require it but I think RISC-V is shaping up to take a sizeable chunk of their lower end and more generic device market.
