Check out some of the links listed under the resources section.

This one is pretty close to what I think you're asking for. https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the-complete-listing-atrocities-1-1-056

You can't conclude anything from this video. The variability in his results are much larger than the differences between groups with the exception being that it looks like he nearly killed the seeds in the 120s group. He also didn't track much beyond germination. A 12hr shorter germination isn't likely to have much significance in real world yield. His grandiose conclusions assume that accelerated growth rates would perisist, but he didn't provide evidence of that.

My guess is that there is a short term boost to germination rate, but no long term growth rate difference.

Cold plasma is not psuedoscience though. There have been very interesting results in cold plasma accelerating wound healing. The mechanisms aren't well known, but seem likely atributable to the in situ production of short lived reactive species such as H2O2.

I would not be surprised if treating seeds partially breaks down the outer layers and increases water permeability allowing faster germination. Mechanical abrasion can be used to accelerate germination in some seeds. If that is the mechanism, then you would only want to treat seeds immediately before planting, as you would be compromising the ability for the seeds to regulate internal moisture levels.

It's a really weird marketing play, because the top end card is where you should get great performance without relying on frame gen. Frame gen makes the most sense as a feature to somewhat bridge the gap on mid tier cards. Low end cards are too weak to perform well even with frame gen. I can't imagine that someone dropping $2000 on a card is going to be enthusiastic about ai frames.

Even before tall buildings, trees should put the noise floor above 30 meters.

The LOTR UHD release looks spectacular.

There's plenty of american companies willing to sell sensitive data to anyone with money to buy. We need an overhaul of data privacy and all this focus on singular companies is missing the forest for the trees.

Yeah. In a sense, laptops do it all the time.

I used to run both an old nvidia and amd card to drive two separate displays. One was the primary/gaming card and the other would drive youtube/netflix/etc. It worked pretty well but was a little buggy. Switching tabs with web players from one screen to the other sometime broke playback and would require a refresh.

I've had so many random logouts since they started doing the disney integration stuff. This outage was particularly long though.

It will be used to strong arm those that don't want to play along.

As a rule of thumb, you can usually assume anything from iflscience is trash tier.

Since we're picking nits, I hate that the image at the top is a completely unrelated drone. The caption does not tell you that the image is of a generic short range drone. Then the image at the bottom that could be the test article has no caption at all to tell us what it is.

I don't let reality get in the way of a mediocre pun.
