AI Thread Summary
The announcement regarding DirectX 10.1, set for release in early 2008, raised concerns about the obsolescence of existing DirectX 10 hardware. However, it is clarified that while DirectX 10.1 will introduce new features primarily for future hardware, current DirectX 10 hardware will still support existing DX10 features. The impact of DirectX 10.1 on gaming will be gradual, as developers are not heavily utilizing DX10 features yet, suggesting that it may take one to two years before the new version significantly affects gaming experiences.

I'm not sure if I would really use the term obsolete. DX10 hardware will still be able to use the DX10 features which are supported within DX10.1. The 10.1 release will mainly be support for future hardware. There's not a lot of developers out there really pushing DX10 support as it is so, it'll be quite some time before we see any games that will utilize 10.1 features. I say give it two years (one year at least) before it really needs to be taken into consideration.
 

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
