Qu'est ce que ça veut dire OQTF ?

Quel manque d'humanité de la part du préfet de la Gironde c'est affligeant.

I doubt Elon Musk does programming

I see. You want to offload AI-specific computations to the Nvidia AI cores. Not a bad idea, although it does mean that hardware that do not have them will have more CPU load so perhaps the AI will have to be tuned down based on the hardware they run on..

You could imagine training one AI for each game AI problem like pathfinding but what is see the benefit over just using classical algorithms?

Can DLSS and XeSS be used for something else than upscaling?

They are for providing special hardware for Neural Network inference (most likely convolutional). Meaning they provide a bunch of matrix multiplication capabilities and other operations that are required for executing a neural network.

Look at this page for more info : https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/tensor-cores/

They can be leveraged for generative AI needs. And I bet that's how Nvidia provides the feature of automatic upscaling - it's not the game that does it, it's literally the graphic cards that does it. Leveraging AI of video games (like using the core to generate text like ChatGPT) is another matter - you want to have a game that works on all platforms even those that do not have such cores. Having code that says "if it has such cores execute that code on them. Otherwise execute it on CPU" is possible but imo that is more the domain of the computational libraries or the game engine - not the game developer (unless that developer develops its own engine)

But my point is that it's not as simple as "just have each core implement an AI for my game". These cores are just accelerators of matrix multiplication operations. Which are themselves used in generative AI. They need to be leveraged within the game dev software ecosystem before the game dev can use those features.

Well Ruby does exactly that though. The methods have good documentation so it's easy to find what something does. There is no magic in the language that makes it do something else than what you wrote.

I love Ruby since I got introduced to it. The syntax is great and you can do many things in a simple manner.

Before that, Python was my go-to language for scripting but now I cannot stand the syntax anymore. I dislike the lack of braces and forced indent.

It's not as simple as that. Those cores are specialised in handling graphics. Game devs have 0 control over it

Je ne savais pas non plus faire de vélo à l'école primaire. Les séances sécurité routière, concrètement, quand tu sais pas faire du vélo, c'est "Bah mets toi sur le vélo et avance avec tes pieds. Fais comme si tu roulais".

J'ai appris à en faire en 4ème avec un oncle, c'était la galère !! Mais je suis content de ne pas avoir eu à le faire plus tard car ça aurait été encore plus la galère

Y en a d'autres. Je pense à Montcuq et Seyssins.

Y a aussi Die (très rigolo pour les anglais). "Hi mom. I am going to Die this week-end".

I do the pomodoro technique: 25 min focus, then 5 min small break (doing nothing, not using the brain). It's great, I am less tired after (focusing for 2 hours straight is tiring) and I am also more productive

Oh, it most definitely is scummy. It's no news that Tinder does not care about people well-beings. Actually, they want you to get stuck to the platform as long as you can; if everyone was finding their partner after a week their platform would not be profitable anymore.

On Tinder it would not be in the same context that what you experienced. In OKCupid it's part of the rules that you can send messages without a match. So people are OK (I guess) with it. On Tinder it's going to come as unexpected and unwelcome. You will start with a disadvantage. Unless the woman is only interested in money (if you can spend $500/month on an app then you are probably among the wealthier half of the population).

It's not written explicitly but I am almost sure there are cues that he is reincarnated. The author probably did not want to write it explicitly in book 2. But it definitely gets emphasized later.

That's because your vision is limited to book 2. They gain much more traction in later books. In book 2 they are just starting to get known.

I am not feeling the whitecloaks at all as an element of the world. Their involvement in book 2 was confusing to me … did I miss something?

They do come out of nowhere. They are presented suddenly but they have always been there since before book 1.

Their motive is to fight darkfriends. The irony is that they have darkfriends in their own ranks. Because of how the power is organised in their ranks, someone of high rank can deal devastating consequences if they are evil. Also they have an agenda against the tower (as portrayed by the serie). Magic has shattered the world so they don't want any more magic to happen.

So they are kind of neutral - against both Good (Rand side) and Evil (Baalzamon side).

Despite having blown the horn, the outcome of the battle still somehow depended on Rand winning the match? Also, somehow, out of no where, Rand is a master swordsman against Turak (and Ba’alzamon)?

Without the horn the battle was a guaranteed loss. It is shown before the horn is blown that the defenders stand absolutely no chance against this unexpected force.

With the horn they stood a chance of winning. And they did win.

In parallel, Rand was fighting baalzamon. I don't believe or remember this had an impact on the battlefield. It was a separate battle - a duel if you like. The reason why Rand is suddenly so good with the sword is because he is the reincarnation of the Dragon, aka Lews Therin. Also known as the one who always ends up fighting baalzamon. Another reason is that he has been training with Lan and has been taught the moves - although I agree that this alone is not enough to defeat baalzamon.

I'm not sure if you have the reference but it's a little like Avatar the Last Airbender. When Rand is in need, Lews Therin speaks to him and also can guide his movements. He has access to the past memories and experiences of Lews Therin.

So there were two fights in parallel, both of which got won. The first mostly thanks to the horn. The second thanks to Rand and Lews Therin.

Oui. Dans les exemples qu'il a donné sur les conséquences de l'inflation il a fait une fixation sur le dentifrice. Ça m'a fait rire

It sounds like space wind
