nvidia supported it for 17 years and amd still supports it but only on older cards

"Supported" it sure, but I'm dubious of the "70%" increase. It was very dependent on the game being played, and the CPU being used.

Oh NV Surround, how we miss thee

i'm gonna stop you right there

Wait isn't the answer No here? The dots are clearly clustered mostly in the correct half of the graph?

Shhhhh, it's way more fun to spout cynical and clever quips about a publication without backing it up with any reasoning.

Isn't that the nature of futurology. You are always wrong in some way. That doesn't necessarily make it useless

Given that many economic predictions are really about pushing an agenda, they are not at all useless, or at least, would be better measured against that criteria. I suspect the reason we still have neoliberal economics is precisely because despite its manifest failures of prediction, it still pushes the right agenda to be supported.

wait, springer as in axel? the guy who was in the nazi party?

really funny to propose that The Guys Who Are Doing This might hypothetically stop it

WOW64 is not emulation, it's just a second set of libraries exactly like the ia32-libs package on linux. OSX used to have this too but i guess apple got tired of maintaining it

how would that even work? even if you could generate accurate maps of lane markings, non-differential gps in not accurate enough

I think it's a coarse-grained "this highway has been deemed non-anomalous enough to allow the vision systems to engage," not a fine-grained "we mapped every lane marking."

one of those things is not like the other

Uhh, yeah, they're both different from each other, but are you implying that one of them is worse than the other? Which one?

Porn is repeatedly demonized but the supposed evils are pretty much nonexistent. No, porn isn't destroying marriages; rather, people in failing marriages often turn to porn. For porn to be more attractive than reality there must be something wrong with the reality.

the exterior of the ISS is constantly exposed to small mounts of atomic oxygen, which is an incredibly strong oxidizer. probably in addition to ozone there is a huge variety of organic and inorganic oxides that get tracked in through the airlock.

Fun trivia (well, perhaps not fun) in the second paragraph: "the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF), which was retrieved in 1990 after spending 68 months in LEO"

Long exposure, 68 months, right. But it was only supposed to be in orbit for 11! Challenger being destroyed on reentry made a mess of things.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Duration_Exposure_Facilit...

>It was placed in low Earth orbit by Space Shuttle Challenger in April 1984. [...] At LDEF's launch, retrieval was scheduled for March 19, 1985, eleven months after deployment.[4] Schedules slipped, postponing the retrieval mission first to 1986, then indefinitely due to the Challenger disaster. After 5.7 years its orbit had decayed to about 175 nautical miles (324 km) and it was likely to burn up on reentry in a little over a month.[6][9]: 15

Challenger was destroyed on launch, not reentry.

Yeah it was Columbia that was destroyed on reentry (17 years later).

Which incidentally is the shuttle that brought back LDEF.
