The new Kernel Predicting Network places around 90% of its parameters at 540p or below and does little work at 4K

The ELI5(ish) is that they now do as much image enhancement work in low resolution (before upscaling) as possible so the AI has far fewer pixels to process.

The upgraded model also stops predicting the final color directly. Instead, the KPN generates blend weights while conventional filtering handles the actual blend. This avoids storing and blending HDR color in 8-bit form and allows the network to spend less capacity on those operations.

At the same time they aren't using the expensive model for handling colour, because doing it the "old fashioned" way is more efficient and produces better results.

So does Danish, they just add the weird math on top because they had to beat both French and German.

My guess is that videogames are mainstream enough now to fall into the art exception.

Underscoring how much Meta has dropped the ball on this one, even X — owned by Elon Musk, who performed two suspiciously Sieg Heil-looking salutes back in 2025 — has banned The Noticer for violating its “hateful profile policy.”

Not just Nazis but Nazis that make other Nazis squeamish.

SCART wasn't just for PAL. In fact, as a French standard it was used with SECAM from day 1.

Subject to natural limitations of the pizza's area you can put anything in it except pineapple.

If you paid the higher value with tariffs you would pay it any way. And if everyone was willing to pay the higher price then it would already have been higher. That's how capitalism works. No CEO will charge less unless they think it will increase profit through volume.

Companies that increased prices because of tariffs probably lost customers in the process.

From a fairness point of view, for non essential goods, if you paid higher prices with the tariffs you would also have paid it without the tariffs, so you weren't really harmed by it.

Good news, new "junior" encrypted all your customer data at rest. Bad news, all data is now at rest and the key to decrypt is with some group from Central Asia.
