Let us zoom out: The minister of culture, Rachida Dati, is under investigation for taking bribes. She came to power under Sarkozy, a president who was later convicted for taking donations from Gaddafi for his election.

Once one is over the odor of the headline, the announcement reads:

* Neural Super Sampling (NSS) reconstructs higher-resolution images from lower-resolution renders, reducing the amount of conventional rendering work needed to produce a high-quality final image.

* Neural Frame Rate Upscaling (NFRU) generates intermediate frames to increase frame rates and deliver smoother gameplay.

* Neural Super Sampling and Denoising (NSSD) combines neural upscaling with denoising to improve image quality in demanding ray-traced scenes with complex lighting and shadows.

So, image processing and no intelligence.

And nor is reconstructs true.

So yeah, more uncanny valley garbage. Yuck.

Thank you. And it is a shame I had to scroll down this far in the comments for someone to point out the obvious. Even a weather app that uses "only" 250MB of RAM should never have been delivered by a semi professional software shop - 250MB is enough to store whatever they can display in full screen on a 5k display as a bitmap - 5 times.

It was the top comment for a few hours. Others have discussed why it makes sense for apple to ise 250 mb in a weather app (heavy graphics and animations). Someone did an audit on the app.
