"NVIDIA Smooth Motion is a new driver-based AI model that delivers smoother gameplay by inferring an additional frame between two rendered frames. For games without DLSS Frame Generation, NVIDIA Smooth Motion is a new option for enhancing your experience on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs."

Wait, so is this basically AMD Fluid Motion Frames / Frame Generation but actually available on Linux!?

You say ##NextcloudFlow but the video only shows #Windmill Automation. windmill.dev/

Could you please elaborate on that? Because what I can see in (my) Nextcloud Flow is nowhere near what the Video advertises.

Is Flow getting replaced by Windmill?

Hope builds as plan to catch missing dachshund Valerie nears next phase


"She has become confident entering the large dog trap which has been set up like her own little room with her toys and bed from home, mum's clothing, hidden food and challenges to keep her entertained," Kangala Wildlife Rescue wrote in a social media post accompanying the video.

"We have seen an amazing change in Valerie’s demeanour recently as she begins to remember all those familiar smells, tastes and sounds."



Ugh.

Super cis perspective here, but I've come to find optional pronoun marking to be a really useful form of quasi-universal design—once again, a gift in which the struggles led by marginalized communities make life better for everyone. Quite often one just really can't assume to know someone's pronouns, especially if their name is from a different culture from yours or (like many names) is nonbinary. It never hurts to get some extra information.




I’m so grateful for PBS & NPR. 🌈

If the programs & people of public media have also enriched your lives, *now* is the time to show your support.

What elephants’ unique brain structures suggest about their mental abilities


Be sure to watch the video in this article. It's very sweet!
I remember someone commenting after my play about elephants that she thought I might be laying on the sweet a bit much, but then in the middle of the show is projected a short video of actual elephants. She said then she realised that I had held back, because actually they are extremely sweet!

I'm going to play this because, 1 it's a roguelike deck-builder and 2, more importantly, see if I can learn anything to make this absolutely boring board game, which my kids love so much, into something more fun.

"On a philosophical level, OpenAI's health is what keeps this industry alive. OpenAI has the only meaningful userbase in generative AI, and this entire hype-cycle has been driven by its success, meaning any deterioration (or collapse) of OpenAI will tell the market what I've been saying for over a year: that generative AI is not the next hyper-growth market, and its underlying economics do not make sense."
