AmpereOne Performance On Linux 6.11 Kernel, 4K vs. 64K Page Size Comparison
Continuing on with the AmpereOne performance benchmarking while having the AmpereOne A192-32X in the lab within a Supermicro ARS-211M-NR R13SPD server, the next set of benchmarks is looking at the performance when using the near-final Linux 6.11 kernel. Additionally, quantifying the performance impact of using the ARM64 64K page size kernel as an alternative to the…

Some Meyerbeer, as he was born #OTD in 1791.
Franco Corelli and Giulietta Somiionato sing the Act IV love duet from Les Huguenots at La Scala in 1962.
This is just staggering. And I actually think he was a great composer, too.

New AI model “learns” how to simulate Super Mario Bros. from video footage
Despite limitations, "MarioVGG" makers think AI video could one day replace game engines.

I saw a video of the same thing but with DOOM.
This is the end of it all.
These only work because they have material to train on - which was created by Humans.
The models can’t _create_ - all they can do is regurgitate and hallucinate.
Eventually they will be training on their own content and then everything becomes inbred and it all dies.
It looks cool at the moment only because it has human created content to pull from.
it will be able to replace... Games that already exist. I think if we stretch it a bit we would be able to say that these models could make a copy of Mario with a different character. Maybe.
I'm sure it'll be able to figure out codified physics, and how to place platforms so you can actually jump to them with those physics, or set up mechanics so that you can make little platforming puzzles like they do in Nintendo games.
In other words: what a nothing burger
Next step is an inverted tone curve adjustment. The outside artifacts can be fixed later but look at how much detail is shown from small adjustments!
I'm having to do these slowly because I'm working on a timelapse from ~700GB of data.
