No, they aren’t. We still produce oil, and whether or not to permit drilling to exploit known reserves has been an ongoing political issue for the last couple of years. At current rates of production we’ve got about 11 years of proven reserves and an estimate of another 20 or so unproven. If we were to bump production back up to our historic peak output in 1999, divide those numbers by 4.5 (so two and a half years proven - not long, but enough to set up a lot of solar)

You probably know this stuff better than me since you’re coeliac, but just in case you don’t: try the Loopy Whisk’s bread recipes. I have a couple of coeliac family members and these are by far the best results I’ve gotten for making gluten free bread for them

My attempt to rephrase it based on how I understood it after listening to that section of the podcast (which I cannot recommend, he’s absolutely just spouting marketing shit):

You know, all of the AI-generated content increasingly looks similar, the faces generated are all beautiful in the same way, and so I’m empathetic towards what videogame fans are thinking about DLSS5

Orban is against the recognition of Palestine even though Hungary technically officially recognises it and hasn’t withdrawn that recognition, and he’s also one of the loudest voices amongst Islamophobic and right-wing EU political leaders. Presumably Netanyahu figures that an ally like that within a bloc as big as the EU, which also has some more pro-Palestine voices who could potentially sway others, is worth the cost of Russia being in a better position. After all, while it is an ally of Iran, Russia’s attention is largely being kept elsewhere for now

To round out the list: Africa is about 2.1 times as big. Oh, and glorious Afro-Eurasia is 6 times as big, get fucked Antarctica

That point is definitely an error. Apart from how weird and unnecessary a flight-path it would be, the southward leg of it would require the plane to do about Mach 6 to make the timestamps work

OP, can you edit the title to clarify that this is HRW addressing Hungary and not a statement by Hungary? There are already people misunderstanding in here because they haven’t opened the link

Because the grains of corundum are so small, less than 0.2 millimetres across, it was impossible to tell in images whether they are rubies or sapphires and what they might look like to the human eye.

“I would love to be able to pick one of those up and analyse it and see if it looks red – it’s pretty disappointing that all you can see is this white pebble,” said Ollila. But when hit with the SuperCam laser, they shone brightly.

Too small, unfortunately

I do think there is a real possibility to do something interesting with that idea - Hellblade could probably use it well - but seeing it marketed for stuff like the Elder Scrolls and Fifa is way off from that

Likewise

That’s ok, I can paste what you were trying to compare here

Are you trying to say that the because the frames have differently-shaped facial features, my argument that the filter changed the shapes of facial features is wrong? If not, what are you saying?

I’m not seeing the relevance of your new video.

To show that even at the lower resolution, the eyes and lips are still changing shape

I’m not talking about texturing details or lighting. I’m talking about her eyes and lips being different shapes and sizes.

Your images are coming from different frames

I mean, they’re the images that Nvidia chose to present as the comparison, but watching the video I do not see her eyes and lips growing like that in the idle animation

Imgur isn’t available in the UK, I’m afraid

With all due respect, I don’t think this shows what you think it shows. Here is that exact video downloaded, zoomed in, and brightened to clarify it: https://streamable.com/hpxx37

Smooth fades with the brightness upped for visibility: left eye, right eye, lips

Here are the source images for you: DLSS off and DLSS on

Streamable is just a video uploading site, you can put any video file on there for free (though it will be deleted after a while). I used OBS to screen-record, it’s free and fairly simple

I don’t think that’s entirely the case. It might be part of what’s going on, but it’s definitely not everything, because actual shapes are changing https://streamable.com/pzap7c

but if you say, place it around a fixed reference, it is clear they remain the same size.

Here’s a screen recording of me doing exactly that and getting results that do not match what you’re saying

Without wishing to weigh in on this specific case right now, I think we have to recognise that votes don’t work for all instances of this because way too many people do not read the article. An outlet can publish an incendiary headline and then people that agree with it upvote it without ever noticing that the article doesn’t actually back it up

I’d suggest taking a look at the comparisons on Nvidia’s website, because it really makes it obvious how much this is changing things https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/dlss5-breakthrough-in-visual-fidelity-for-games/

If we look at the one that’s in the article thumbnail, the blonde woman in Resident Evil, you can see it has made significant changes to her face: her eyes are bigger and the outside corners of them have been moved up, and her lips are much fuller

Edit: also it straight up changes the skin colour of the black football player in an orange shirt, and that’s presumably meant to be a representation of a specific real person. It’s not even a lighting change either, because the shirt is the exact same colour. It’s only his skin that changes

Upscaling is supposed to look like the same thing at a higher resolution, whereas this is specifically making a point about looking different

Shouldn’t it look the same? I thought the point of upscaling was to reduce the hardware demands of outputting something at a given resolution. This isn’t upscaling, it’s a social media filter

I’m so glad that the GDP of a medium-sized country has gone into turning up the contrast on some videogames a little bit
