I don't agree with the thesis of this post. It is begging the question of if we have to do what computers want.

> Millions of people create accounts, confirm emails, ... not because they particularly want to or even need to.

These were design choices made by humans, not computers.

You are so generous to call this even "thesis" lol. I read that line and I closed the page. haha

Good question... I think they're pretty different in taste and how they're made (which is why they taste so different)

Miso and "dwen jang" taste very different because miso is usually mixed with soybean and rice, whereas dwen jang is all soybean. They are also aged differently. Miso is packed into more air tight container, whereas dwen jang is shaped into a block, hung outside to air dry.

The block to hang up outside for air drying is called 메주 (meju) which is form before made into 된장 (dwenjang). There is more process involved to make it into dwenjang. Actually from that meju we make daenjang and soy sauce.

Kinda answers its doe question though

To be fair, dictionary one-liners might be a tiny bit less easy to read:

{"key1": "value1" "key2": "value2"}

Not just a bit less easy, a lot less easy

a hugely uneasy to read indeed. I feel wasted time to read the article. So horrible.

I really want Gimp to succeed. It's a software I've been trying to use since more than 20 years now but the UX is so clunky.... and different than Photoshop. Muscle Memory is a thing.

I'm moving my main machine from macOS to Linux (which I also used partially since 20years), moving from a mac mini M1 to a lovely Lenovo M75Q-1 and so far the experience has been great.

I'm a (enthusiast) photographer and I have big hopes for that 3.0 release of Gimp. I'm ready to learn something else and freeing myself from Adobe.

If I can manage my workflow, that will probably seal the deal. Everything else works fine and is unbelivably smooth while macOS had been very frustrating lately.

It isn't alternative to photoshop though, what about darktable (https://www.darktable.org/)? I could be wrong but it is more of an alternative to lightroom afaik. Have you used?

The food called "black rice" in the blog is called sundae or soondae (순대) which in South Korea they put glass noodles and such instead of rice. So it is not North Korean specialty. If you the author haven't tried, you should definitely try from South Korean restaurants too and there are a different versions of food with sundae; steamed, in soup, stirfried in spicy sauce... etc.

My response assumes that you are talking about the "frame warping" feature of Reflex 2 (saying DLSS 4 was misquoting Nvidia's PR jumble) not simply frame-gen/MFG or upscaling. MFG, while producing even more interpolated frames, does not improve latency and will probably make it worse. I suppose an argument could be made for upscaling in a roundabout may (lower internal resolution = more frames = faster response time) but that would be more true for DLSS 3 as it has a lower GPU overhead than the transformer-based DLSS 4

Anyways, even if it were the case that graphic stack produces a response to the input by warping the frame during interpolation / before rendering, the input that triggers said response would (certius paribus) still go through libinput (and most likely the Wayland compositor) so timing would remain the same. For any features to improve on response time, it would likely have to circumvent one (if not both) libraries.

I know I know. I just made a joke. And I know you cannot get it. Seriously, you two guys are so serious. What is the problem with you?

Answer to what?

DLSS was designed to solve performance issues, not architecture problems and poor design.

And you absolutely wouldn't want your fonts or UI to be upscaled by it. You will hate every second of your experience.

It was a joke. Why are you so serious? Did you have a bad day?

Looks like it was more a political stun than anything really wanted or useful to the population: https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jrca/15/0/15_KJ00009911... (when reading the conclusion)
