MediaTek to Add NVIDIA G-Sync Support to Monitor Scalers, Make G-Sync Displays More Accessible

NVIDIA on Tuesday said that future monitor scalers from MediaTek will support its G-Sync technologies. NVIDIA is partnering with MediaTek to integrate its full range of G-Sync technologies into future monitors without requiring a standalone G-Sync module, which makes advanced gaming features more accessible across a broader range of displays. Traditionally, G-Sync technology relied on a dedicated G-sync module – based on an Altera FPGA – to handle syncing display refresh rates with the GPU

AI Business: Enterprise Models for LLMs Profitability | HackerNoon

What can large language models [LLMs] do for prompt and quality sleep? All humans sleep. There are several aspects of sleep that, at varying rates, services could be provided. If any LLM model can provide sleep service, it could become a major path to profitability and a key service to humanity—amid sleep deficits and adjacent conditions. Sleep is the kind of problem that LLMs can solve that would not just be a commercialization win, but a give

Local Development With Subdomains, Mobile Testing, and OAuth: is it More Cost Effective? | HackerNoon

tl;dr For many applications, especially when starting out, localhost has all the functionality needed. As applications get more complex, there are many options including tunneling and remote development environments, but localhost with a local DNS can provide another viable option. Full Length While working on mazaar.io, I needed a way to interact with the app while working on the changes. The most straightforward way of doing this is typically using localhost, which is how I
