Don't worry, Stable Diffusion is for those who want an AI with a mind as filthy as their.

I'd imagine the more steps in between "generate graphics" and "display" add a considerable amount of latency. From my understanding we're already at the point where having the CPU physically close to related chips (memory's one, IIRC) makes a difference. Could be wrong, but from my understanding the last thing you want to do is throw a bunch of intermediate hardware/steps in the process if you can avoid it.

It's mostly because of denuvo. I can manage 100-110 fps on 1440p.. And I'm running it on a 2080 ti (all settings on high)

That doesn't matter at all from a systematical perspective.
It could be your plans to topple the genocidal dictator, it could be your drug trafficking business, it could be your vacation photos you don't want a phone repairman getting access to.
Shaming people for wanting privacy is not cool.

I would guess that they primarily don't want their service to be used for generating fake celebrity nudes and child porn, which might be illegal in some countries despite not being real photos.

We're going to end up paying trillions to remediate climate change damage. We can afford to deploy renewable energy. It will be more at a neighborhood level than in one huge installation for the whole world. We can deploy solar PV on frameworks above parking lots and roads and flood basins etc, for example.

He said "100 miles square" (https://www.pcmag.com/news/elon-musk-running-us-on-solar-requires-100-miles-square-of-panels) which is 10,000 sq miles.

Better to put them in neighborhood "farms", maybe above parking lots or roads or flood basins. Easier to install and maintain and upgrade.

Nuclear is losing the cost competition, and every trend line says the gap will get worse. And expecting some new nuclear tech to arrive in some reasonable time and hit its cost targets is unrealistic. The industry has a long history of schedule slips and cost overruns, sometimes by big factors.

> we need a better battery chemistry... and we need it quick.
Multiple are being developed, some have been deployed (e.g. https://cleantechnica.com/2019/02/03/sodium-sulfur-battery-in-abu-dhabi-is-worlds-largest-storage-device/). But we don't need them "quick"; we have plenty of room for more renewables in existing grids before we absolutely must have storage.

Better to put solar PV on light frameworks above parking lots, roads, road medians, etc. Easier to install and maintain, and we have plenty of space there.

A 7900xtx already pushes 500-600 fps in Valorant (and other similar games). People are getting 300+ on a 3060ti.
One more generation of GPUs and some popular eSports games will hit 1,000 fps.
So it makes sense to work on displays now.

What they are saying is that they can't protect against someone for example forcing you to unlock it, installing a keylogger, or taking screenshots of your conversations. Because that would be a pretty hard problem to solve.

What do you think about fitting some logic between the pixels at the cost of pixel density?
I was thinking it could handle some primitive draw operations, like vector graphics and flood fill.
Instead of trying to drive every pixel, you could send tiles of texture with relatively low resolution, and use vector graphics to handle masking of edges.

There's a couple free models you can run locally online/run on Google colab. But for the most part the erp chatbot market is intentionally something companies are training their models to not cater to so all of them are basically open source projects that are a bit behind the cutting edge. If you want a good place to start searching look up kobold ai.

Windows 11 is still a work in progress. I would wait for Windows 12 to come out sometime in 2024 or 2025 before upgrading. Remember, in Canada you must log in all the time now with your Microsoft account credentials so that you and your online activity can be tracked.

There’s no way it’s better to not see faces and facial expressions for nonverbal communication cues, especially in court.

There are some economies of scale involved.. especially for high density displays,
The GPU does a lot of the heavy lifting..
But even simple-ish games often take multiple milliseconds of CPU time to simulate One frame, and that doesn't transfer to the CPU, so doubling the framerate means half the physics+gameplay+cpu calculation since you have half as much time to do it.
