Hey, time to test your tech🔮. We now know an SDK update is coming July to deliver the first FSR4 backport. Let's call it FFX SDK 2.3.0. In addition to FSR4 for RDNA3, do you expect/hope this release to have...: 🧵

And I hate those recommendations. I'm sure this system is at least partially biased by factors that benefit either the platform or sellers (eg items with higher margin). The only crowdsourced info I need about food is whether it comes with pieces of cockroaches. 🔚

I'm trying to understand this, as an engineer. Even at Doordash's scale keeping track of recent orders for all customers is cheap and easy. They could keep and look up my full past decade of detailed orders at virtually zero cost. But no the burrito I ordered 10 days ago is gone.

What's up with @DoorDash's ordering UI. Sometimes it shows orders from my recent history so I only need a couple clicks to order the same item again with all options / customizations. But often there's no personal history, I only get useless "ordered by many" recommendations. 🧵

@GameGPU_com Lol these screenshots show a jump of +33% in pure raster (comparing the 3DMark averages; the 5080 here has a much bigger OC). That's cosmically good for a single-gen upgrade. Yes you won't get the same lift in most games but this benchmark shows the true potential.

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/s… Users of RTX 4080 Super cards are discussing the shift to the new 50 series with 6x generation support. Technical benchmarks reveal identical base performance for both models. The upgrade seems pointless as generation technology relies on original GPU power. This new feature does not provide significant speed increases in demanding scenes. Moving to the RTX 5080 does not offer a major advantage over the current 40 series flagship. Buying the new card remains a questionable choice for most users. #nvidia #rtx5080 #rtx4080super #gpu #upgrade #gaming #hardware

@Mixailos @GendoWasRight Not directly but the OpenCL driver that executes the AI model should use it. Otherwise Intel is not doing their job.

@opinali @GendoWasRight I pretty sure that GeekBench doesn't use XMX instruction set

Lol, lmao even

@HashtagGriswold In New Jersey we still have a supermarket chain called ACME, I went there once but they didn't have Instant Holes in stock.

It’s a gag lost to time. Acme is a Greek word for “pinnacle” that became ubiquitous for a time because it gave companies better placement in the phonebook. The Great Depression version of SEO.

@divBy_zero @corsix Lol so what everyone is teaching me is that there's no hope for a much saner world if I switch career to silicon design.

@corsix @opinali This. Also all the different EDA tools only support different random subsections of Verilog. Part of the fun is finding the sub-sub-set that actually works in them all without losing chip intent

As a SW guy what puzzles me most in chip design is that it's a total monopoly of one programming language: Verilog. Yeah there's some higher-level stuff, some variants, but all ultimately translated to Verilog. Where's the fun without a hundred different PLs to confuse you

@LeviathanGamer2 Interesting, I knew of SystemVerilog but I supposed that was the dominant thing used in modern chips design. I guess my lore in this area was outdated, I remember things like Sun open sourcing OpenSPARC in Verilog but that was old stuff even when they released it.

@opinali for their HLS language. VHDL also is an old popular one as well that is actually the one I started my education in. VHDL is almost like SASS Assembly for Nvidia in comparison to Verilog being PTX. VHDL is much more verbose, so it can better define behavior, but it is also harder.

@Sebasti66855537 @mpr_reviews @wccftech Oh wow I hope you're fully recovered! Eye stuff terrifies me, especially after my dad lost 80% of one eye's vision. Glaucoma caused by a simple eye drop that had some allergic reaction resulting in high internal pressure. One can't be excess careful with anything eye related.

Just published my Forza Horizon 6 performance analysis & tuning guide on @wccftech. This one got delayed by more than a week due to an unfortunate eye infection that nearly took my right eye's sight. Still hope that it can be useful to many people! wccftech.com/how-to/forza-h…

@dreamsofcode_io @willmcgugan @AnthropicAI There's a continuous trend upward for SW quality: bug density always goes down. But perceived quality oscillates because SW size & complexity goes up and sometimes that's the stronger factor. AI is a rare exception though where Q can go down because of lowered standards.

I like to think that we’re in a constant battle of done vs perfect, and those of us that like getting things as close to “perfect” as possible are currently losing the battle. I expect the pendulum to swing again once we start seeing high quality software being preferred, but it’s rough atm.

My concern for the AI era, or at least this phase of it, is that a generation is being taught that "close enough" is just fine. Take @AnthropicAI for example. Text wrapping in Claude Code has been broken for weeks. Superfluous spaces appear on the left edge. One engineer to another: you know its an out by one error. I refused to believe that nobody has noticed this. The shtick they are selling is that AI can fix this kind of thing. Either they tried to prompt a fix, and Claude ain't good enough to fix an out-by-one error. Or they haven't attempted it because it is "close enough". It can't be the case that AI is only good enough if we lower our standards. It can't. I'm well aware I have both feet firmly planted in my "grumpy old man" phase of life...

@dotn @Kittenfish817 PT was truly the first man to discover how profoundly stupid and gullible most people are

@Kittenfish817 The first act P.T. Barnum ever sold was just displaying a really old black woman and claiming it was George Washington’s wet nurse. No accent, no nothing.

There are so, so many but I’d much rather hear funny ones. Did you know Koko the gorilla pulled a sink from the wall when she was unobserved and when her keepers asked her why she signed that her pet cat had done it? When George Washington was dying his doctors drained 40% of his

@iLizzyBee @SJ_from_CLE @GayBearRes Sounds like that's exactly what they did when they decided to move to Florida only when they retired

@SJ_from_CLE @GayBearRes 85 or 90 year-old is going to rebuild their social network?

My Boomer parents retired to Florida about 10 years ago. Sure enough my parents’ health is declining. Instead of moving back to the house they never sold, their solution is that I uproot my wife and kids and move to Florida. Why are they like this? 1/2

That's the "FSR experience" for old games, except DLSS is the same for games a little older (last patched mid-2023). You think a big studio + huge game = small update every couple years to catch up with that stuff. But nope. AAA game makes $1B USD, becomes abandonware anyway. 🔚

But I get 260~280fps, nah man I want 240 tops. No way to make v-sync work even with every possible v-sync option forced to On, frame limit of 240 in the NVidia app, etc. I guess/hope integrated FG would work better. Nope I don't want to install a mod.

Playing Uncharted 4 which is in that sweet spot "not new but not too old and heavy enough that rendering is not yet trivial". At 4K max settings with an RTX 5080, I get ~110fps native. That's good enough, but that's a high-end GPU. And I could really use some DLAA (or FSR4/AA).🧵

The final season of The Boys was very good, and the grand finale was 100% Perfect. I am not wasting one second with the opinion of heretics.

@kylegriffin1 And you know it's fake because Trump could barely lift a Big Mac to throw in a dumpster, let alone an adult man.

This is a real AI-generated video just posted by both Trump and the White House online.

@vaxryy I still do like my childhood in the eighties. When I see some third-party code that I want to use I print it, then I type it all by hand. Typically making enough typing mistakes that any malware I couldn't identify will fail to run correctly.

supply chain attacks? yeah no, I use C++. We don't even have a package manager.
