Listening to the Epic: Circe Saga. I've seen discussions of callbacks, but has anyone pointed out the opening melody in "Puppeteer" as a callback to "Full Speed Ahead", where they were also looking for safety, food and shelter on an unfamiliar island? @JayHerrans you're a genius!
@standupmaths it bothers me to no end that my calculator claims 50%+7=7.5, but 7+50%=10.5. Is this actually an accepted notation? So sometimes a+b != b+a? What's wrong with 7*150% if we actually want the 10.5 result?
@ctnzr This idea has kept occupying my brain. Could the model theoretically ditch input frames altogether and just work on 3-dimensional ray data with floating point coordinates for x, y and time? And then just generate a frame in sync with the monitor when needed? @ctnzr
@ctnzr Loved your interview with Digital Foundry! I'm wondering, DLSS still uses a fixed pixel grid as source. Would it theoretically be possible to replace that with an optimized point cloud to reduce pixels rendered, but render the most important points as input for the model?
@ctnzr But DLSS RR still gets that input as a noisy frame? That made me think of this idea. There is no reason the model would need a traditional frame as input. It could run on the raw sampling. Though it probably requires big engine and post processing changes, I guess.
So I was just casually listening to youtube music recommendations and thought... wait... that voice sounds familiar! @icklenellierose This is awesome!!!
@AoifeLockhart Well that's just stupid... why would you exclude half the population as a source of advice? Oh and yeah, it also makes you a horrible person. But if you think like this you're not even good at being a selfish egotistical monster.π€£
@CKMMatthews@icklenellierose It looks like you've been spoon fed stories of the American dream since you were first able to think. If that worked for you, that's great, but don't be blind to the fact that it's failing almost everyone else. And it has nothing to do with them not working hard.
@Charalanahzard@AHavocboy If not, people leaving is just what they'll have to live with. I'm glad they changed that policy, that's how a free market should work. Just sad they realized after losing good people. It's a good thing job switching is becoming more common. Teaches companies to not be greedy.
@Charalanahzard@AHavocboy Looks like they wanted to own your image instead of having you lend your image to them. We need to step away from that, what people do in their own time should not reflect on their employer. But if they wanted to own your image they should have compensated you fairly for that.
@icklenellierose It's like everybody has forgotten about second life and how "successful" that was. The promises of replacing existing technology like the web, the looks, the hype. All the same. We've tried this, it doesn't work.
@icklenellierose The technology behind NFT's could be useful, the practical use right now is complete garbage. I don't know why it has become almost exclusively used for art, but perhaps it has something to do with the pump and dump scams the elite art traders have been pulling for decades.
Oh @rob_pearson86 ... I'm feeling for you after that first Christmas maze episode... I hope you showed them your truly evil side after this. Merry Xmas!
@zoe_dels Thank you for talking about this @zoe_dels ! I don't know where I fall on the spectrum or whether I do at all, but I've always felt like I was a little strange. Either way, your comments help a lot to make me feel better about myself. You're a goddamn hero!
@zoe_dels I recognize so much of what you said. My social battery seems to be running through its lifetime. Takes more to recharge and less to drain over the years. Never really talked to anyone about it though. After all I don't look autistic. People don't know what those comments do...
