Right, I don't have everyones voting data, so I don't know how much it did swing things or not, but they absolutely were talking and thinking about it as much as real issues that did affect their dailies lives.

And does it even have to swing a vote fully vs leading to apathy and not voting enough?

Of the ones I tried to open their views, there was a surprising amount of mental resistance, even if they understood how the same tactic was bad for other marginalized people.

A lot of it was a misguided view that trans was a "choice" that could be flipped on to use as an excuse to abuse others.

That's the unfortunate power of othering people.

Put out a message about how a culture they are unfamiliar with is a threat in a way they can't easily prove yourself (because they are not in that culture) and they spiral imagining all the ways it could be bad, based on nothing but "logic" fear.

Again these are not data points, but it was brought up as a concern, unprompted, nearly as much as financial/work/health issues.

And while the progressives were not coming to it from a sense of "hate" like the other side, they truly felt it was a problem that threatened them/their children.

I don't have that data for you, but I was shocked by how much "trans" came up from other people, including those who are absolutely progressive on all other fronts.

There was a genuine concern (from obvious misinformation/misunderstanding) about trans people and what the "might" do.

Sad to see.

That's a great idea, I should do cake for every meal on mine. Happy birthday! 🎂

Alex are you as excited as I am that ray tracing is becoming more and more ubiquitous? Games are becoming so natural and beautiful in how the light bounces through each scene. It's wonderful. We've come soooo far from the blocky games I played on an Atari 2600 as a kid. Wild.

They should add an in-game UI in the options for the other HDR modes available in the ini file.

Can we get an in-game UI for the different HDR settings (eg. Modern), instead of having to edit the ini file?

The default has a limited nits cap and isn't really HDR.

Oof, I would hate that so much. It's always been a pain in the ass when there are weird trade offs and there isn't just one (or more) ideal solution. It's what I find so frustrating about ray reconstruction, where in most* cases it's an improvement... but... some things it makes worse. Sigh.

OneDrive does. Both descriptive computer vision and OCR.

Obviously it is not exactly the same goal to reduce large network latency as it is being used in Reflex 2 for system/render latency, but the magic is in the quality of inpainting which modern neural rendering apparently can solve. Seems like a perfect fit to further improve GeForce Now, etc.

10 years ago Microsoft research had a project using speculative frames rendered on the cloud and sent to a thin client to eliminate latency. It used a similar warping to correct the final shown frame, but the occluded pixels were tough to deal with. This fixes that. www.microsoft.com/en-us/resear...

Did you also see Reflex 2 with frame warp? So much amazing tech announced today! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpDx...

I was going to ask if this was distinct from that option. Good to know it's the same effect.

I was diagnosed with stage IV follicular lymphoma 9 years ago and at the time I was told it was incurable in part because it's an "indolent" cancer. And while I somewhat understood the different reasons why that was the case, your explanation made it much clearer/easier to picture the entire thing.

I tried to capture a long-exposure of it from a suburban neighborhood with too much light pollution, but to my eye I barely could see anything. Just the slightest hue of red and ghostly glow elsewhere. Still beautiful, but I wish I could get somewhere to see it with my own eyes.

Absolutely gorgeous! Was it that vibrant seeing it with your own eyes?
