Look it’s a technology in its infancy, I’m sure in time AI will learn better how to infer information that isn’t there like the lighting and in between frames and maybe some day even how to add additional suit pieces

I mean we can all go look at the originals, it's just a cool attempt to make past appear more vividly before our eyes. I feel that even the muddy colours and the interpolation really make it feel more alive.

oohhboy posted:Sort of neat but bad. Running this without the source is pointless and "4k" is a joke. The "AI" has no idea how to deal with the lighting and the interpolation is distracting as it adds no real information. It's butchered and I rather just watch the original. I'm not sure who did this one but there's a guy who's been doing a few of these on Youtube that look much better in my opinion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO_1AdYRGW8 I'd still rather see it without colorization but it feels much less artificial to me, also he gives a source/final comparison. In one of his other videos there's film clips from several different sources, and you can see that the quality of the "AI upscale" varies greatly depending on the quality of the original source - these Beijing ones look like the source was fairly crappy to begin with. The one above is especially cool when you find out that it's taken 4 days before the 1906 earthquake destroyed pretty much everything you see.

I too, think that having systemic nihilism inflicted upon those who would be politicians is a great direction to go as a society. also adding the idea that they cannot have possessions, as that would lighten their burden, allowing them to focus on making the trains run on time. Also the larpers are cool. good on them, I hope koreans try the same too. staberind fucked around with this message at 10:58 on May 12, 2020 |

BigSexy posted:What’s up with China’s space program? Apparently other countries have ways to prevent uncontrolled rocket boosters falling down but China is like ??? Remember when China dropped a Long March on a village by accident when they blew up their launch facilities in the 90's, and the response was to wipe away any evidence the village existed and pretend they didn't kill several hundred people? And how they sifted through the wreckage to try and steal tech off the satellite they blew up on the pad? And were banned from being used as a commercial launch partner for decades afterwards as a result? It's hard to strive for quality when your entire tech tree relies on stolen documentation which you don't fully understand.

A question on China-stealing technology/IP etc. Given this practice is so widespread and widely known to occur, have their been any famous examples of non-Chinese companies tricking Chinese companies into "stealing" bad/wrong/non-functional tech. in order to sabotage/teach them a lesson? Even if there had been, I can't imagine either side would admit to it happening.

BrigadierSensible posted:A question on China-stealing technology/IP etc. It's not quiet the same thing but FTDI realized that the numerous Chinese forgeries of their ubiquitous serial USB driver chip were only being built with a partial instruction set and pushed out a driver that specifically called the unimplemented parts. This had the net effect of bricking non-legitimate chips when you tried to communicate with them while working flawlessly with the legitimate ones. It backfired though because a lot of people felt it was malicious by FTDI since it destroyed thousands of hobby projects.

Atopian posted:Well I mean outside of SpaceX stuff, so is everyone else. Not really? They've only recently started using RP-1/LOX engines, before this they were using hydrazine/N2O4, which was abandoned as a main stage engine fuel for these types of rockets in the early 60s. It's horrifically toxic (and has worse performance than other fuels) and only used in RCS systems now, since those still use hypergolic propellants. Their newest engine's basically a copy of an old Soviet one that took them a couple of decades to figure out how to build. Like a lot of Chinese projects, it's big and looks impressive but what's under the hood is crap.

That way, you can sell and ship more Things. - Quality control is a big dumb roadblock that stops you from making and shipping more Things. Short circuit it anytime you can. - Taking less money now so you can maybe get more money later is dumb, dumb, dumb. Get as much money as you can NOW. - On the same subject, don't waste money on R&D, wait for some dummy to waste money on it and take their poo poo. Easy. - Sometimes customers will complain that the Thing that you made isn't 'to spec' or some nonsense like that. Wrong! They wanted a Thing, you made a Thing, now you need to get paid.

I like space exploration and China becoming a player in it is good, more rockets is better. I just also like being realistic. The Chinese program makes a lot of huge promises, gets a lot of press, and produces very little. It's also difficult to follow since they're so secretive about everything. I also wish they would stop dropping toxic, exploding rocket stages on people. I'm honestly not sure why their program is so slow to advance. They'll launch a mission that shows progress on something, then just... nothing for years.

China uses their space program to do the most Chinese things, only in space, like sending silkworms into space. It's like if the sole point of the US space program was to study bald eagles in zero G.

That is actually a leftover of a dropped plot (like half of the original DX design was cut) where that mass driver was being controlled by an AI that went out of control or was becoming part of the MJ-12/Illuminati conflict, I don't know that they ever figured out exactly. But that part of the game had some work done on it before it was cut, the interiors of Area 51 were originally the moon base. I'll wedgie myself out.
