@thebadstats "... go take 10 minutes and watch a youtube video on this" is both perfectly on brand for this type of guy and incredibly funny

A few months ago, Warren Smith hadn't heard about the double slit experiment, but after watching some youtube videos about it, it really made him think. Then he even wrote about it in his book! Unfortunately, he seems fairly confused about it.

@sighyam you

China haters are so funny because they refuse to praise China for things that China does objectively better than all their countries. Imagine sitting there being like “not that impressive it’s just a bunch of skyscrapers with neon lights, massive scale urban planning, energy infrastructure to support hundreds of millions of people, nationwide high-speed rail, dense supply chains, port logistics, modern digital payment ecosystems and entire megacities built in decades” just dimwits 💀

@opinali why would you look at individual frames for an inherently animated product? Completely different principles apply, especially wrt motion

It can't even handle any fast moving object wells, but to be fair I don't know if those catastrophic frames in the FIFA demo should be blamed on the upscaler, FG, or the new AI filter. All of them have trouble with big disocclusions and very fast things. AI is not magic.

Daniel got important clarifications from NVIDIA. TLDR: the "DLSS5 skeptical" were right about *everything*. 1⃣ It's a 2D AI Filter. Input is only color buffer & motion vectors. The model doesn't see geometry, lights, PBR properties, normals, anything🧵 youtu.be/D0EM1vKt36s

@Brad08414464 'the system' and 'conventional channels' exist for good reasons, most other communities tend to get overrun by cranks with too much free time pretty quickly

why isn’t there an underground research community for people to publish research outside of the system and outside of conventional channels? the world doesn’t have very good infrastructure to enable this

@Richarduels @FangYi11101 yes, i'm aware x.com/flxia_/status/…

@flxia_ @FangYi11101 shape, they just do nothing to invoke CLT or produce normality.

A subtle point, but this isn’t how the central limit theorem works. You need to sum the random variables to approximate a normal, all he’s doing is getting a histogram of a triangular distribution.

@leftwinglow @GraphJJA @FangYi11101 yes that's what i just said

@flxia_ @GraphJJA @FangYi11101 This isn’t quite right, though it’s an easy mix-up. A single sum X+Y need not be Gaussian: two dice give a triangular law, while if X,Y \sim \mathrm{Exp}(1) are i.i.d., then X+Y \sim \Gamma(2,1). The CLT is about summing many independent variables, not just two.

@GraphJJA @FangYi11101 it's just that convergence happens as we increase the # of summed RVs, so with only 2 we just get a triangle shape (which is only a rough approximation of a normal distribution) but that's still the CLT in action

@GraphJJA @FangYi11101 the two random variables are the two dice. the distribution of their sum converges to a normal distribution

@lankyfranky20 @FangYi11101 well yea, it's nowhere near convergence, but i don't think it's accurate to say that this "isn't how the central limit theorem works"

@flxia_ @FangYi11101 He is but two dice is not enough to really observe the CLT, should try it with like 10 or more for example

@IMayBeGiant9669 @HistoryBoomer We should simply exile every citizen so crime will become 0 !

@HistoryBoomer I don't know about more important, but it's the point he was making. If you import more people, there will be more crime. Plain and simple.

Total crime is more important than per capita??? You live in a village with 1 murder a year. I live in a city with 300 murders a year. But my city has 8 million people and your village has 20 people. If I were you, I’d be scared. Per capita is more important.

@DStahlfeder Also wird ja doch gegen die eigenen Interessen gewählt, vielleicht sollte jemand das dem Pöbel mal sagen!

Genau diese kommunistische Kackscheiße zerstört ja alles. Aber die Deutschen sind ein Volk von Ökonomielegasthenikern, die kapieren das nicht. Die AfD ist übrigens auch nicht die Lösung, viel zu links. Steuern weg, Regulierungen weg, keine staatlichen Eingriffe in die Wirtschaft, freier Markt für freie Bürger - nur so geht es!

Nur ein Drittel der Studenten studieren Mint-Fächer. Die restlichen zwei Drittel studieren irgendeine nutzlose, unproduktive Geschwätzwissenschaft, mit Präfixen wie "Gender" oder "Sozial", mit der zwingend logischen Folge, darauf angewiesen zu sein, den Rest ihres Lebens auf wertzersetzenden parasitären Sinnlos-Stellen bei grünen Behörden oder grünen NGOs herumzuschmarotzen. Das ist genau dieses pseudoakademische Lumpenproletariat, das zum eigenen Lebenserhalt (und weil zu blöd zum Taxifahren und zu abgehoben für Bürgergeld) die Grünen wählt.

@DStahlfeder Was möchte die AfD denn tun um dem ganzen entgegenzuwirken? Arbeitnehmerrechte stärken? Gewerkschaften unterstützen? Steuerentlastungen für geringe Einkommen? Mindestlohnerhöhungen?

@flxia_ Das sind die Arbeitslosen, die gerne wieder einen Job hätten, weil sie ihren alten Job aufgrund der desaströsen Wirtschaftspolitik der letzten Jahre verloren haben. Arbeitslose, die gar nicht arbeiten wollen, würden nicht AfD wählen, weil es gegen ihre Interessen ist.

@RobertvonBielau @realRadieschen @DStahlfeder Medizin wurde eigentlich schon immer eher getrennt von MINT betrachtet

@realRadieschen @DStahlfeder Seit wann ist Medizin kein MINT Fach mehr? In erster Linie geht es darum, daß zuviele Leute in höchstdotierten Stellen beim Staat arbeiten und oftmals komplett unproduktiv sind. Dazu zählen insbesondere Geisteswissenschaften.

@cybercpu do you have any original thoughts or is it just "anyone who disagrees with me is a bot"

DLSS 5 got trolled pretty hard but do you notice that out of nowhere almost every post on Twitter now is people defending it. That's not organic. That's a paid campaign.

@elliotarledge The estimated 1050 TWh is roughly 4% of the electricity consumed already in 2024, and that's for all datacenters combined, not only new ones/AI datacenters. Wrt energy consumption (rather than electricity) it's even less, roughly 0.5% of the 2024 total.

@elliotarledge like really, this is the best you could do for "disastrous effects on the environment"

@keypousttchi How does digital hand writing (e.g. with a drawing tablet or a pen + touch screen) do in comparison?

True. I conduct digitalization research for about 30 yrs. At Uni Potsdam, I used to ask my MSc students what they were doing digitally vs. analogously. This is the smartest answer I got: "If it has to be fast, I do it digitally. If it needs to be good, it's pencil & paper."
