The upcoming Nvidia graphics card release is the GTX 980 Ti, expected in Q2 2015.

Read on a tech website that the next big release of graphics cards from Nvidia is going to be the GTX 980 Ti and should launch sometime in Q2 2015.

Should I wait until the Ti edition of the GTX 980, or should I go ahead and buy the regular 980?

The 980 is only about 5-10% faster than the 780 Ti, but is much more energy efficient and compatible with DX12, which is why they are making a pumped-up version of the 980 to appease the enthusiast GPU market.

Have any technical details about these new cards been released?

So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
