My first tech job was a Linux admin position. For the interview, There was a laptop with no internet connection sitting next to a piece of paper with a list of tasks to complete.
It was a great interview. What’s particularly nice is I had zero experience and had just been studying hard- I was able to complete all the tasks and this allowed me to separate myself from supposedly more experienced, more capable administrators who likely would’ve crushed me in a verbal interview.

This is why I'm a big fan of practical interviews.
For a computer repair service, sit a new hire down in front of a computer and see how they find the problem and the solution.
For an artist, have them draw.
For a coder, have them code.
For a writer, their first submission is on a typewriter.

@Fred00738342098 @Maks_NAFO_FELLA Is that why modern Russia is run by a KGB officer?

@XecularO @Maks_NAFO_FELLA No they aren’t. That was the Soviet Union. And Ronald Reagan destroyed the Soviet Union…35 years ago 🤣

🇺🇦❗️“I have no idea what the allies have been looking at for four years while we have been at war,” — Ukrainian military instructors who went to help counter Iranian missiles and UAVs are shocked by the way the US shoots down “Shaheds,” writes The Times
– First, the Persian Gulf countries launched as many as 8 Patriot missiles at one (!) enemy target, each costing more than $3 million.
– They often used a ship-based SM-6 missile, worth about $6 million, to shoot down a “Shahed” worth $70,000.
– The US and its allies often literally “shine” their radars like beacons — without proper camouflage. Ukrainians work differently: mobile radars constantly change positions.
For example: just three (!) cheap Shahed drones destroyed the AN/FPS-132 early warning radar (~$1 billion) and another air defense radar (~$300 million), which had been standing in one place for months and were perfectly “readable” from satellites.

The Infantry Squad Vehicle is about to level up.
Check out this prototype of the Next Generation Tactical Vehicle that the 4th Infantry Division used for exercise Ivy Sting IV. This vehicle seats up to six Soldiers and provides onboard power capabilities to support the mission, and is a candidate in the upcoming ISV - Heavy program.

@Fred00738342098 @Maks_NAFO_FELLA Ukraine is fighting the country we considered our number one threat for 60 years
English
@Maks_NAFO_FELLA If ukranians knew anything about fighting a war then the russia-ukraine war would be over.
Kindly stfu until someone needs advice on how to stalemate while all of your young men die off
English
@Daveydangson @Maks_NAFO_FELLA The US has been taking on debt with our private property as collateral to fund military waste
English
@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Well, some might say it's our money to waste, on our war. So there's a different point of view.

@MrFiberNet @bilawalsidhu It alters the UI in some of their examples and is extremely resource inefficient. I'd hate to see what the frametimes look like with DLSS 5 vs optimized raster shaders on something like the fox engine
English
DLSS 5 might be the moment where the anti AI pendulum starts swinging back. Many in the 3D community who were against generative AI are now pushing back on the "everything is AI slop" crowd. The pendulum swung too far and they can feel it. Nice to see the rebalancing.

After this whole debate about DLSS 5 I came to the conclusion that most of the people talking about it are completely unaware of what they don't know...they're on the peak of ignorance and don't even grasp how little they understand. They just heard generative AI and like Pavlov's dog they just start drooling thinking it's the same shit as unethical slop image generators...for the love of Christ...go and educate yourself before raging on the internet for no reason. DLLS 5 is not a prompt based generator...it's not creating stuff based on someone else's images and hallucinates results. It uses the information from the raster to build up a final render frame with the same information but with better lighting and shading... I'll even give you an example on how much of an impact better shading and lighting has. This is a character I've worked on not long ago. On the left you have a raster render, with some bad shaders. On the right you have a render with raytrace on, a much better shader for both hair and skin. They don't even look like the same person...do they? This is what DLSS5 is doing....getting a result like the one on the right(tbh a lot better) at a smaller cost than actually rendering it. Still the same geo, same textures, same light sources. Some of you will go and say the one on the left is better and it's the artist's vision. It's not...it's just the artist's limitation due to shading and lighting constrains. Every single artist out there would love to get the right result in real time.

@RCallsign @FrameworkPuter Supply has been artificially limited for a long time by excessive patent protections
English
@FrameworkPuter The supply isnt the problem its demand. So lower the price to retail.
English
@GendoWasRight @digitalfoundry It has more or less the same issues, being a solution that relies on sampling multiple frames to achieve a cohesive output
English
@digitalfoundry The same "OMG it looks so bad" complaints I heard with DLSS 1.0.
English
DLSS 5 brings next-gen quality, photo-realistic lighting to GeForce RTX 50 series. We've been hands-on with four games and here are our first impressions: youtu.be/4ZlwTtgbgVA
YouTube
English
@SlothyLabs @digitalfoundry The label will probably still be there. DLSS is a Nvidia service rather than a part of the games that support it
English
@digitalfoundry very interesting direction from nvidia
two 5090s is pretty brutal though, i think getting buy-in on a tech that eats this much if your frame budget will be a tougher sell than nvdia is seemingly touting
one things for sure, say goodbye to "made with gen ai" labels on steam lol
English
@HenryEYES @kiaran_ritchie In a way that's already sort of happened with AAA games. They use a lot of photogrammetry to get around limitations in photorealistic texturing
English
@kiaran_ritchie yea people are kinda missing how many artist's jobs will get lost in all of this, It'll take a while but eventually there won't be the need for hyper detailed models. Kinda sucks
English
In the future, you'll turn DLSS off and see this
English
@ZephyrionVortex @RodeenSilver @kiaran_ritchie It would be cool if that is what it was actually doing (Instead of being ai generated jargon), but it's really just a lossy post-processing filter being applied over the entire game.
It doesn't integrate with the normal rendering pipeline like GI
English
@RodeenSilver @kiaran_ritchie AI neural rendering adds photoreal SSS, multi-bounce GI & materials, with measurable perceptual realism vs prior methods. Jarring/blown-out look? Subjective demo lighting prefs. Faces blend consistently via RT. Stylization loss? Intentional for photoreal games.
English
@carygolomb In general it will mostly be relegated to old games and studios that are already unpopular for prioritizing looks and sales over optimization
Nvidia is relying on people adopting AI to sell GPUs, but they have already priced themselves out of the consumer market
English
100% this is the future and based on so many people defending DLSS 5, it's inevitable.
AMD and Intel will indeed have to follow
If you think this is hyperbole today, remember devs already list upscaling as a minimum requirement
Kiaran Ritchie@kiaran_ritchie
In the future, you'll turn DLSS off and see this
English
@AIandDesign @nvidia If it was built for DLSS 5, it would just be an example of how much devs are willing to do to avoid optimizing their games and putting effort into their engine
English
I'm seeing a lot of backlash against @nvidia DLSS 5 from gamers. I _think_ I get why: because it changes the look of the game from what the creators of the game had intended to whatever the "enhancement" thinks is "better". However, and hear me out here:
If the game developer builds stuff with DLSS 5 IN MIND, wouldn't that just turn it into an awesome enhancement?
Something to think about.
IGN@IGN
Watch the announcement trailer for NVIDIA DLSS 5, featuring before-and-after comparisons utilizing the technology, which NVIDIA describes as "an AI-powered breakthrough in visual fidelity for games."
English
@lunarlabor @SamSamSidyBJJ @NikTek Making bigger models with more training helped disguise some of the issues with denoisers, but the fundamental problem is exactly the same as what this video shows; the output is not being grounded in anything that can actually dictate the full composition of the image
English
@lunarlabor @SamSamSidyBJJ @NikTek It's not practical for implementation until they invent a model that doesn't rely on denoising to create the final image.
At the moment it's just a duct-tape fix for bad optimization and graphics design
English
I can't believe that Nvidia looked at this "AI on top of games filter" and said to themselves this is the future of gaming.
Like it or not, this is where Nvidia is heading and they're calling it neural rendering with DLSS 5.
The examples they've showed reminded me a lot of those AI generated filter videos on top of GTA V, except that now it is supposed to run in real-time.
Honestly, I don't like this current look at all
English
@DanT_94 @SamSamSidyBJJ @NikTek I've been hearing people say that ever since AI became trendy to collect investor capital
It's not a good reason to try and brute-force early adoption of tech that is not ready to run on current generation hardware
English
@XecularO @SamSamSidyBJJ @NikTek This is literally the worst that it will ever be. Think of how terrible AI was even 3 years ago and where it is now.
English
@ATTlKA @TerribleJyon @4wavePepe @CameronCorduroy They need to manufacture a nenemy to fight. This is a consequence of allowing parties to represent us instead of specific people
English
this is what actual national suicide looks like btw
English
@jaydensrw @SynthPotato @digitalfoundry It changes their facial structure and hallicunates different lighting than the physically accurate rendering engine computes
English
@SynthPotato @digitalfoundry How is it an "AI slop filter"? It added depth and realism to the face, nothing else. It's the exact same face model but improved with a FREE technology you can turn off.
