Twenty years later, Half-Life 2 is a top tech demo again.

On March 18th, Nvidia will release a two-hour demo for Half-Life 2 owners, showing what its RTX 50 cards can do: full ray tracing, subsurface scattering for translucent skin, volumetric light through fog and smoke, physically-based materials, and Nvidia’s new neural shaders — which are also coming to DirectX for other developers in April.

Half-Life 2 RTX Remix isn’t for weak rigs. Even an RTX 5090 / Ryzen 9800X3D system might get under 30fps at 4K before applying DLSS 4. With it, Nvidia suggests an RTX 5070 might be enough for a 1440p tour.

In this demo, you do go to Ravenholm — and Nova Prospekt, too.

NVIDIA RTX Remix Officially Released with DLSS 4 and RTX Neural Shaders, Half-Life 2 RTX Playable Demo Available March 18th

NVIDIA’s RTX-powered modding platform has been officially released, adding DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation and a full suite of RTX Neural Rendering technology to multiply performance, enabling modders to bring more beautiful worlds and characters …

I had no idea there were so many prominent airship accidents, always explosive both in air and post-crash when hydrogen filled. Funny how now the CW is Hindenburg showed hydrogen lift gas was a bad idea when they knew since beginning. #aviation

Washington Blues: A Government Town Faces a Gloomy Future
—

For years, Washington, D.C., was insulated from many of the economic forces that decimated many older U.S. cities. Now, as Elon Musk’s mass layoffs shake everything from employment to real estate, the region faces the prospect of decline.

No it's not.

Public instances are struggling but private instances work perfectly.

"Un intermezzo sul cacao in #Nicaragua."
La storia e l'importanza del #cacao nicaraguense, tra cultura, sostenibilità e economia capitalista.

#Cocoa #capitalismo #13marzo

labottegadelbarbieri.org/un-in…

L'immagine mostra una rappresentazione stilizzata, in stile precolombiano, di una figura umana probabilmente di origine mesoamericana, intenta a raccogliere o offrire semi di cacao. La figura, vestita con un elaborato copricapo e ornamenti, è inginocchiata su una piattaforma o un altare. Tiene in mano una ciotola contenente semi di cacao. Ai lati della figura sono raffigurati due alberi di cacao, con i baccelli chiaramente visibili. L'intera scena è racchiusa da una bordura decorativa a zig-zag, tipica delle decorazioni precolombiane. I colori sono vivaci e piatti, tipici di questo stile artistico. L'immagine suggerisce un'importanza rituale o simbolica del cacao nella cultura rappresentata. Descrizione generata da I.A.

The answer to this question is simple. Religion is founded on a falsehood. And since a false premise implies any conclusion, religions will be all over the map with respect to just about every issue.
