Glad to see you recognize you were completely wrong and had to shift the conversation to a different topic.

You’re way too rude for somebody this unaware of the topic at hand.

FSR and DLSS are at their core temporal upscalers. They take motion vectors, subpixel samples from jittering objects, and a low resolution scene, and using shaders for FSR or AI models for DLSS, interpolate the existing pixels to fill the entire target resolution. That’s it. This is not frame generation, and they don’t use anything, whatever you meant by that.

You can then, on top of the regular upscaling, enable frame generation to enable an entirely different path that holds frames in the buffer and creates intermediary frames. Those are the fake frames you complained about.

One can use both FSR and DLSS without no frame generation whatsoever, and both were originally created without any type of frame generation to begin with. At the present, Helldivers already uses FSR without frame generation - just for upscaling - but it’s FSR 1.0 (previously called FidelityFX), a matrix based spatial scalar that only looks at one central pixel and tries to apply weights to determine how to fill in the neighbors. This looks horrendous. FSR 2.x and onwards, and DLSS, use the full temporal mechanism I described.

That’s “what the heck” I think DLSS does.

You’re really willing to die on the hill of poop camera subscriptions, I’m not willing to waste time diving further into the subject. You’re ignorant of the topic, which is fine, but I won’t be the one explaining further.

Because it’s an incredibly unreliable data point by itself, and requires significantly more than visual analysis to prevent several co-variables.

I never said anything about frame generation.

Yes and you don’t have to hire a plumber to fix your sink if you’re a plumber.

You are severely misunderstanding the point being made. Imagine you have a leaky pipe, you hire a professional plumber, they charge you $500 and say “yep, I can take a look and I conclude it’s a leaky pipe! My job here is done, see you next time. I can also give you an AI generated list of reasons pipes often get leaky”

What I’m precisely telling you is that this company can’t provide the professional analysis you just commented.

You’re telling me there’s zero valuable information in photos of feces?

Nope. I’m saying a private company and whatever training set they have, plus a cheap RGB camera and an AI model, is not going to give you any information that you can’t derive by simply looking at the feces yourself, much like the table you just linked. Though that table itself is an oversimplification that, being unable to take other parameters into account, also contains potentially misleading conclusions.

My field is bioinformatics. I’m willing to bet $500 there’s little to no valuable data being gathered at all, and quite a lot of noise, rather than anything relevant for your health. I’m sure, just like your smart watch, they can make it sound like some deep insights and health exploration, but I guarantee you it’s not.

A subscription… for a toilet? Internet access… for a toilet? Cameras… for a toilet? Am I having a fever dream?

I buy single purpose devices that are fully offline, durable, user serviceable, and useful… and then I go for a long time without buying anything but food. It’s almost like setting a new personal record: how many days in a row I can go without buying a single thing?

Now replace a badly modified version of FSR 1 with support for FSR 3.x, 4.x and DLSS, as we are in 2025 please.

Kicking off? It started ages ago.

Call me old fashioned, but there are several things I’ll never accept being “smart” and having Wi-Fi, including:

Home appliances, cars, monitors, note taking apparatus, furniture, beverage dispensing mechanisms, cleaning gadgets, pet gadgets, children toys, adult toys, bags, wallets, access keys, plants, birds.

Confiscated for having GrapheneOS? What?

Roasted coffee, beef, juice…

Hmmm… I wonder which tropical country in south america has recently been tarrifed because they arrested their Trump-wannabe…

You know, I think there might be stupid questions after all

United Statians buy a gun at Walmart and already start wearing camouflage clothing, speaking using walkie talkie lingo, and listening to tactical entry AI generated podcasts.

Do you want to give them power and a badge?

The entire point of living in a society, of following the collective social contract, is to assure everybody’s basic needs are met.

To suggest otherwise is contradictory to the very core of what a society is, and at that point, its better to have no society at all.

Given how having “no society at all” is impossible with 8 billion of us around… Either provide for everybody’s basic needs, or people need to break the social contract until they enforce their needs are met.

a justifiable explanation for why the licensing exists in the first place.

“because people doing it wrong would make it look bad” is a terrible reason. I’m fairly certain I can buy an OLED TV and mess with the settings and make the picture look horrendous - time to create a restrictive license on who gets to buy TVs?

Oh cool, I guess they forgot to inform the entire physiology department of the university I got my biology degree in, and the periodics where they publish their research.
