  Microsoft appears to be readying its own DLSS-like AI upscaling feature for PC games. X user PhantomOcean3 discovered the feature inside the latest test versions of Windows 11 over the weekend, with Microsoft describing its automatic super resolution as a way to “use AI to make supported games play more smoothly with enhanced details.” That sounds a lot like Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology, which uses AI to upscale games and improve frame rates and image quality. AMD and Intel also offer their own variants, with FSR and XeSS both growing in popularity in recent PC game…

Feb. 7, 2024 — Atkins, keto, the Zone, the paleo diet – it seems like low-carb diets have been around forever, and they’ve only grown in popularity over the years. But despite their renown, it remains unclear what exactly “low carb” really means.  A study recently published in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition analyzed over 500 articles about low-carb diets and found that, among the scientific community, there remains a real discrepancy about what “low carb” means.  The study’s principal investigator, Taylor Wallace, PhD, CEO of Think Healthy Group and an adjunct professor of nutrition and food studies…

This article will give you all the information you need to become a house sitter in the UK. There are a ton of UK listings just waiting for applications, and within this post, I’ll outline here exactly where to find them and how to secure them! I have years of experience house sitting in the UK and beyond. I’m originally from England and built up my house sitting profile in the UK before embarking on a digital nomad lifestyle.

    For the decade following the financial crisis, REITs capitalized on a perpetually low interest rate environment to fire up the commercial real estate engine. Declining yields and capitalization rates supported rising REIT valuations and property values. REITs shined during this period. The situation changed dramatically following the pandemic era. Many perceived the Federal Reserve’s low interest rate policy as permanent. The sea changed in 2023 as many of these tailwinds evaporated over a condensed period. REITs suffered due to rising interest rates and a flight to alternatives such as bonds, treasuries, and, to the surprise of many, tech.…

In a statement on social media, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that during an overnight “joint operation between the IDF, ISA [Israel Security Agency or Shin Bet], and Israel Police, two Israeli hostages from Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak were rescued: Fernando Simon Marman (60) and Louis Har (70)”.

Foreign policy, and politics generally, is not primarily about good feelings.

  After decades of research and trials, a groundbreaking malaria vaccine is being rolled out across West Africa in a major attempt to eliminate the disease which is the second-biggest cause of death of children on the continent. On January 22, health workers in Cameroon began gathering babies and children below five years of age for the first doses of the RTS,S vaccine, which has been developed by pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and PATH, a non-profit health organisation. The vaccine’s designation – RTS,S – refers to the genes of the parasite it was produced from. Children in Burkina Faso will…

    In December 2023, I initiated coverage for Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) stock with a buy rating. Since then, the stock has gained nearly 7% compared to the 5.7% return for the broader markets. On the 1st of February, Huntington Ingalls Industries reported fourth quarter earnings, and in this report, I will analyze the earnings and update my assessment of the prospects of HII stock. My Thesis For Huntington Ingalls Industries As I previously discussed, Huntington Ingalls Industries in my view is not a stock that has a huge upside from a fundamental perspective even when we take future…

This year’s Super Bowl attracted arguably more interest than ever before, with the US television audience expected to eclipse the record 115 million for Kansas City’s win over the Eagles last year. This was the first Super Bowl to be held in the entertainment capital of the world, Prince Harry made a surprise appearance at the end-of-season awards ceremony in Vegas on Thursday and then there’s Taylor Swift. The music superstar’s relationship with Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce has brought a wealth of new fans to the Chiefs and the NFL in general, and there have even been conspiracy…

  Tony Khan has made another announcement, and it is about a first-time-ever singles match for this week’s Collision. The participants of the match are Mark Briscoe and Brody King. The House of Black attacked Mark Briscoe a couple of weeks ago on AEW Collison when he was supposed to replace Dani Garcia in a match against the heel faction. Briscoe addressed the attack on last week’s AEW Collision and called out HOB during the episode. Mark will finally get an opportunity to get his revenge as Tony Khan, via social media on early Saturday, announced that Mark Briscoe will…

  Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs have won back-to-back Super Bowls. Not done since the New England Patriots in 2003-2004, the Chiefs have beaten the 49ers once again, 25-22. The game, held in Las Vegas for the first time, was headlined by two major storylines: Brock Purdy, the final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, and Taylor Swift. It took a while to get going but perhaps Usher’s halftime show helped wake up both teams. That’s why near the end, the Chiefs and 49ers gave us an amazing game that went into overtime. Getting it done in overtime…

  Centre-right National Coalition Party leader Alexander Stubb has been elected the new President of Finland in a vote that marks a new era in the Nordic country, no longer neutral – now a NATO member with a fiercely anti-Russian political class. Stubb narrowly won the election today (11), defeating liberal Green Party member Pekka Haavisto, who has conceded defeat. To say that Stubb is pro-European, a strong supporter of Ukraine, and someone who has taken a tough stance towards Russia is not much, because the same could be said about Haasvisto. There is no space in contemporary Finnish politics…
