"Using something that you're not experienced with and haven't yet worked out how to best integrate into your workflow slows some people down"

Wow, what an insight! More at 8!

As I said on this article when it was posted to another instance:

AI is a tool to use. Like with all tools, there are right ways and wrong ways and inefficient ways and all other ways to use them. You can’t say that they slow people down as a whole just because some people get slowed down.

Just like Stack Overflow then haha. It's usually either

"I copied this persons code exactly, why doesn't it work in my completely different codebase?"

or

"I copied this persons code exactly and it works in mine! I don't want to touch it in case I break it cause I don't get it"

haha

If you already know what you’re doing, AI generating code is redundant.

Nah, it can be really useful for people who do know what they're doing as it can be used to generate the "charlie work" (IASIP reference if you don't know) things like unit tests and documentation and things like that pretty damn well.

Sorry but a study of 16 developers isn't a big enough sample to get any meaningful data, especially given the massive range of skills and levels of development.

I'm a developer and I use AI - not much, but when I think it can help based on the suggestions that it gives me since it's integrated into visual studio. It doesn't slow me down, it speeds me up. It could slow you down if you rely on it to do everything, but in that case you're just a bad or lazy developer.

and b. this data is easy to rebuild over time.

You say that, but some shows and movies are getting very hard to find these days. I lost one show to an external HDD that died, and I have never been able to find it again :(. That's part of the reason I recently went to a DAS in my setup instead of a NAS - backblaze backs the entire 40TB DAS up for ~$90 a year!

You got them all in uncompressed 8K or something!? How on earth does it take up that much space?

Ok so you definitely don't understand how DLSS works lol.

DLSS has to be implemented by the developers of the game. They literally have to use the DLSS APIs in their game code. DLSS requires things like the player input and motion vectors for all scenes, materials, and objects that are in the frame. It adds time to the rendering pipeline. The more powerful your GPU the less rendering time it adds.

We're getting way off track now anyway, so to go back to the start: DLSS Super Resolution is amazing because it lets you get a framerate bump with either little-to-no visibile change to IQ, to a very noticeable degradation of IQ depending on how much of a framerate bump you get. It is one of the most significant advancements in gaming this century IMO.

On my PC with a 4070 Super, I can play COD BO6 at a near locked 120fps on my 4K 120hz VRR tv at "4K" using DLSS, whereas my PC definitely cannot do that without DLSS. It looks like native 4K, and believe me I've taken many screenshots and compared them at 300% zoom lol.

It adds rendering time, not "latency" btw.

DLSS improves framerates at basically no cost, to let people hit playable or high framerates at quality levels they couldn't without it. It's not for hitting 500fps, it's for hitting 30/60/100 etc.

You came at me saying I said something I didn’t. You’re the one not having a good faith discussion.

[–] FreedomAdvocate 1 points 1 year ago (6 children)

But no one said it would?

I didn’t say that trump got it under control, just that it is under control now while it was out of control at almost all time highs during Biden’s term.

No, they banned it because they don’t like pride flags being replaced, or male and female being the sex options, or black characters being replaced with more historically accurate white ones (no issue with the opposite though, shock horror). It had nothing to do with trolling or the comments section or throwaway accounts. It was ideological.

Yes, they can do what they want with their site. I agree. I didn’t say they can’t. I just pointed out what they do.

If they banned mods that put pride flags everywhere it wouldn’t bother me one bit. People can mod their single player games however they want, I don’t care.
