It is partially the land sure, but don’t forget where the main natural gas reserves are in Ukraine. It’s not a coincidence that Russia has been specifically targeting Donbass for years now.
The entire function of Crimea is to help form a land bridge to grab those resources.
And also, the US and Europe are having to fund the infrastructure repairs in Ukraine as well. You seem to not notice that Russia is specifically targeting civilian infrastructure before winter.
Russia has clearly stated, multiple times, that Ukraine is basically a gateway into Poland. From that perspective, it makes perfect sense to suppress Putin’s efforts in Ukraine.
Russia shouldn’t be invading countries period, actually.
Estimated Russian army spending is between $85-$105 billion USD. (This has likely skyrocketed since that that estimate was taken as Russia has transitioned to a wartime economy.)
Chinese? ~$212-$230 billion USD.
Spending on military is better put in context of GDP, and actual spending is going to be very different than published or even estimated numbers. (It’s likely much more, is what I am implying.)
I actually agree that this money is better spent on social welfare. It’s a stupid situation across the board and many countries are guilty of this disparity.
For better or for worse, much of that money goes back into the overall economy of the country supplying the aid. Not all, but most. (This can get complicated due to the lifespan of specific types of munitions.)
What I am saying is that there is a ton of blame to pass around and poking at one country or another is an agenda, not a solution.
Now she is doing this for the lulz, or something.
This kind of skill might help developers build AI agents that identify buttons or fields on a webpage
to handle tasks like making a reservation at a restaurant.

What if Bethesda doesn’t pay Origin though?
That’s exactly what a bot would say.
Ok, this conversation is going to go nowhere. There is a clear divergence in what we both say vs what we interpret each other saying. We can probably both keep trying to explain our points, but it will just lead to an endless cycle of nonsense.
What my familiarity is with one ideology or another is irrelevant to this thread.
But yeah, ml/c/usa is a great example of mostly anti-west mass posting by a vocal minority. We could get into specific subjects and events that may or may not be true, but that risks detailing the point of this thread. (This may have changed over the last few months, but I doubt it.)
For generic cut-n-paste responses, all you usually need to do is mention anything about Ukraine or Chinese gost cities. Those are just two glaring examples, but I am sure there are more.
Your experience is going to be different because you likely have different views than me. That’s not good or bad, it just is what it is.
No, I am not a fan of .world either. It’s got its own set of issues.
I have and blocked nearly all of it. They have fuck-all to do with Marxism or Communism and mainly focus on Kremlin and CCP anti-west propaganda.
It’s worse than the “conservative” communities, actually. It’s not so much about promoting a cause as it is about telling everyone else how they are “bad”. Any dissent is usually met with insults or walls of cut-n-paste posts that all point back to state media sources or fake sites.
While all places have their own degrees of circle-jerk mentality, it can be especially bad in some corners of Lemmy.
I thought it was nudie calendars of Olga Skabeyeva and RT news, but you can call it whatever you want I guess.
Then there is ml and lemmygrad. They lean on something, I know that at least.
New users accidentally posting on those instances is kinda fun to watch, TBH. It’s like Lemmy’s version of hazing I suppose.
You shouldn’t be scared of something that doesn’t exist.
Nope. I can’t even see a resemblance.
It looks like she is holding a pistol.
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.)
Report it. (New account, blog spam, funky domain, poorly configured server, etc.)
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.
No Starfield? Oh noes!
