PC Nvidia Gamescon Confrence Today - 2080 series to be announced
legend replied to Mr.Vic20's topic in The Spawn Point
The developers would collect a bunch of data (i.e., lots and lots of high resolution screenshots). This can be collected trivially, but is large in file size. Then the developers train a neural network on it. Nvidia probably has a built in API where the developers just point it to the directory of images they saved and let it crank for maybe at most days. After training the neural net, you no longer need that data to run the network. Instead you only need to know the weights that the neural network used. (A bunch of floating point numbers.) The weights only total in the megabytes of size, even for a large neural network. What that means is for a gamer running the game, they only need to load that weight file into GPU memory and the GPU runs the network using those weights on each frame. -

Speculating: The DLSS isn't a super sampler for any image that could be provided. Instead, it requires a developer to collect a lot of frames from the game rendered at very high resolutions. Those frames are then input as training data to their DLSS neural *architecture* and they train a neural net specific to your game. Once you've done that, you can have the game load the model it trained and use it for DLSS. While that would require developer support, collecting many high resolution frames throughout the game is not especially difficult and should be something that could be easily adopted. -

Yeah the RT is clearly people's focus, but I absolutely agree that what this amount of tensor cores provides may have some really exciting results even in addition to the DLSS. It's more of a wild card at this stage though. -
I think I see why these were shown at TGS

The Official Thread of Systemic Racism
legend replied to SuperSpreader's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
I love this guy. At least based on this video he seems very reasonable in how he's going about this. -
Won't happen today, because I've still got other games taking my time in addition to working longer hours per week. But rest assured it won't be too long! I'm hesitant on Bloodborne. DS didn't do anything for me, but I've been enjoying a bunch of harder action games lately, like Hollow Knight and Dead Cells. Bloodborne might be different enough from DS in all the right ways that I end up loving it. I'll probably give it a try once I have the system, but it won't be high priority. LG is indeed also my list, being that I was massive fan of Ico. I haven't played any of the Persona games, but the love it gets does pique my interest.

Alright. I was already pretty interested in the game since it was announced, but its high quality reviews to confirm make this the game that that broke the camel's back. GoW, Spiderman, HZD, UC, RDR*, and eventually TLoU2 are enough quality exclusives. I'm getting a PS4 (Pro). The question now is just how soon. *Exclusive in so far as it's not on PC or Switch.

@johnny I think you should take Cnut's comment here to heart. Using a word you know isn't accurate to attempt to cache in on the emotional connotation it typically carries probably isn't going to be helpful. In some cases that strategy works to manipulate people (even though I don't like it being done then either), but in this case it's just going to turn more people away from listening to what you have to say on the topic, particularly because vegan's and vegetarian's often have a stereotype of being preachy. If you really care about changing minds on it, speak to people more fairly about it.

The Kavanaugh Confirmation Charade Thread
legend replied to Commissar SFLUFAN's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
Yeah I agree with that. If he gave the answer "I never knowingly talked to someone at the firm about the topic, but it's possible some degree of discussion happened with someone whom I didn't know worked there being that it's a big story" it would have been a completely legit answer. His refusal to say that though is concerning. It raises the issue that he did deliberately talk to someone there about it, but doesn't want to say while also not wanting to get caught in a lie if she knows he did and can prove he intentionally spoke to someone there about it. -
Given sufficient previously written text from the candidate set, it could probably be done with reasonable accuracy. (And if no one has has done this application before, it's super low hanging fruit. I feel pretty confident I know how I would do it and it would just be matter of getting training data and some hyperparameter search.)
