I feel like I need to explain some things. Clear facial distortion aside, some people like the DLSS 5 image because it's high-contrast and looks like film looks like. But that's not what reality looks like. Cameras need a whole lot of light to not look like a fuzzy mess.

Worse still, this makes background elements that are partially obscured appear to be taken as having the same depth as the objects in front. There are details behind this support that are further away, but are flattened to the same relative contrast as the support itself.

However, lighting and facial detail is only part of the story. Background elements also get touched, and this is often unfortunate. In the first Resident Evil screenshot with Grace, store signs are less legible, and background textures have less definition.

I'm not good at it, but lighting is one of the most fundamental parts of photography and especially film. Every shot is lit with purpose so the camera captures the image as intended - not necessarily realistically - which usually means the face is well-lit, even in dark scenes.

Addressed to Twitter but: I worry for the people who rely on LLMs to fact-check; They aren't all-knowing, nor even especially clever. At best, they go by the information available to the public, same as anyone else, no more - Usually with a delay. They also have access to the same misinformation.

It's all based on probability, tuned by training data & the parameters given at runtime, plus some good old RNG. Prompts are categorized by meaning, then the most probable word is chosen, word-by-word, based on each previous word until the most likely output is reached.

TIL that the NES "blacker than black" palette entry 0d is not just blacker than black, but imitates a sync pulse that can cause TVs and scalers/capture devices to lose sync. What's more, The Immortal on NES used it to gain 1 more shade of grey. I've yet to be able to run it.

A video linked on the NESdev wiki illustrates what it should actually look like: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMFo...

Apparently there are rumours that Windows 12 is coming this year and will not only double down on Copilot, but introduce a subscription model for it, despite requiring an NPU. I refuse to believe Microsoft is stupid enough to try the heated seats DRM trick.

Messing with the RetroTINK-4K's latest experimental firmware, shrugged at the new high-pass filter until I tried it on my 2-chip SNES... RT5x's pre-emph did similar, but the RT4K seems to have finer control. A 2.00 MHz HPF (3.00 for hi-res modes) very nearly fixes the smear for me.

What's all this about ModRetro? Ah. I see.

Egg will be on all our faces when the autonomous kill-bots get loose and the special edition drone-metal game boys are the only way to control them.
