Not OP, but just a boiler plate response would be fine for me. "Sorry [insert name here]. You are no longer being considered for this position. (Optional) Good luck on other applications". Could even have it set up to sends those out automatically.
Ah, hah. While I wouldn't consider it a legitimate sandwich, I see where you're coming from.
What suggests it couldn't be used to do just that after the photo was taken?
That is interesting. Thanks for the extra info!
Huh, I wasn't aware that 4090s use similar tech. That sheds light on a few things. Thanks!
The game is rendered at a lower resolution, this saves a lot of resources.
Then dedicated AI cores or even special AI scaler chips get used to upscale the image back to the requested resolution.
I get that much. Or at least, I get that's the intention.
This is a fixed cost and can be done with little power since the components are designed to do this task.
This us the part I struggle to believe/understand. I'm roughly aware of how resource intensive upscaling is on locally hosted models. The necessary tech/resources to do that to 4k+ in real time (120+ fps) seems at least equivalent, if not more expensive, to just rendering it that way in the first place. Are these "scaler chips" really that much more advanced/efficient?
Further questions aside, I appreciate the explanation. Thanks!
Is there an eli5 on how "ai upscaling" is less (or even equally) technologically demanding than just putting in better hardware?
A "Scarlet P" as it were isn't defensible, but a name-only system seems ripe for abuse. Unless the employee can keep track of every student, all it takes is a greedy and/or cruel student to use someone else's name and they don't get a lunch that day.
Best method, imo, is free lunch for every student. No fuss, no muss. That children are held responsible for the economic welfare of their family (and there are people fighting to keep it that way) is atrocious. Just feed the children, easy as.
I feel for these studios getting treated like crap. With these shutdowns from corps like MS and Embracer, I can only hope that indie devs learn the hard lessons taught here that conglomerates can never be trusted to operate in the interest of their subsidiaries. All buyouts are to these corps is the addition of "assets" to their spreadsheet, to be ditched the moment it's more convenient than keeping them around.
They can't even properly check their copy on critical infrastructure. Top notch work over there, top to bottom.
He threw $44 billion at it for the right to destroy it. It wasnt worth that much.
Friendly fyi - it's just 'arc'. Arch is used with structural things like bridges. It could also be used to describe the attitude of an over the top antagonist.
