Safety systems are not optimal but improving everyday and although I doubt we'll ever get a perfect safety system, it seems that we're not very far from a "good" safety system. The days of Google recommending glue on pizza and generating diverse Nazis seem behind us.

Not to mention all the untold good that LLMs have done. Personally I've seen that LLMs are incredibly good at pointing conspiracy nuts and extremists into the right (moderate) direction.

In a polarised world, we definitely need that.

Imagine being in charge of a physical factory, sure you might have a 200 USD Claude subscription but you also have a floor full of physical machines that have, if you're lucky, an undocumented debug interface and a paper manual. Not to mention safety inspections, insurance, etc.

You can't vibe code a factory floor. Not yet, perhaps in 5 - 10 years but there are some very hard, non technical, problems that need to be fixed before we'll see meaningful improvement there.

AI will have a massive impact, engineers might be the canary in the coalmine but no doubt other profession will follow soon.

To end in a bright note, software architecture and cyber security are going to be growing massively.

If you haven't tried machine learning based upscalers do give it a try! The newest generation (DLSS 4.5/FSR 4.1) are in general preferred by users over a native image since they provide a far superior way of native AA.

AI based frame-gen is also very good. 4k/120 Hz (1080p/60 FPS rendered) is very doable on mid-range cards these days.

I usually play like this, it gives a very sharp image at 120-180W with a barely audible fan.

Who would've thought that in 2026 gaming under Linux is actually the better option. Pretty awesome to see it work so well!

This is a choice, alternative approaches do exist but we should definitely not assume that datacenter water usage is _always_ benign.

I haven't done the math but if I see how many tokens I can burn per month for 100 USD it's pretty mind boggling to imagine how much capacity is being added by this build out.

This is not the place to discuss it but even in my wildest predictions I find it hard to imagine that we're really going to need all this capacity anytime soon (although I guess anything spare can go into training).

No doubt Timur contributed heavily to this given Valves Steamdeck (which uses a very similar but slower GPU).

Given the current hardware prices it's pretty awesome to see someone squeezing maximum performance out of old hardware!

The current implementation is more of a tech demo than a practical way to play games (+ officially it's available in 1 game). It's _fast enough_ to make some impressive YouTube videos but you most likely won't want to play anything with it yet.

Nvidia has stated that they're still working on improving the performance. No doubt future hardware generations will also include further hardware optimisations.

The potential for this kind of technology is pretty awesome, especially given that people have also found ways to add this to emulators.

Europe has some very real work to do to stay competitive but fortunately things are slowly changing.

Spotify, Ayden, Revolt and N8N are some examples that come to mind.

From a technical perspective emulation is absolutely amazing, it requires deep technical knowledge, an excellent understanding of the source system and the optimisations are on another level.

They do have a tendency to complain (but so do a lot of Europeans) but that complaining does often translate into action (something, seemingly, a lot less common in the south of Europe) so perhaps that gives outsiders the impression that the Swiss are change adverse?

It also seems to be more willing to just do whatever you ask of it. My favourite benchmark for this is to ask it to download a rom for an old game, that I own. Legal in my juristiction but the US models (except Grok) have a tendency to refuse it.

The technical part is probably relatively easy in comparison. Especially because the stakes are low (parallel run with the existing system, good will from everyone involved).

Would not recommend running this, it's the antithesis of the Linux philosophy.

Despite all the big talk from the likes of Wilders and Meloni, the moment that they're in government they do seem to be very willing to cooperate with their European peers.
