GTA: Vice City fans have recreated the game's atmospheric streets on Unreal Engine 5

The Unreal Engine 5 game engine once again demonstrates an unparalleled visual quality of the picture.
In good hands it's able to create beautiful and atmospheric locations, which was clearly proved by the fans of GTA: Vice City from YouTube channel TeaserPlay.
Enthusiasts have partially recreated the recognizable locations from the game on Unreal Engine 5.
The final result they showed in the form of the GTA: Vice City remake trailer.
The best way they managed to portray the night streets of GTA: Vice City, that are lit up with bright signboards.
In their opinion this is what the Definitive Edition version of the game should look like.
The enthusiasts, as well as many gamers, were disappointed with the quality of the official remaster, and they wanted to show the real possibilities of the new technologies.
The original GTA: Vice City was released in 2002, and the remaster version appeared last year, gathering the angry feedback from the players and critics.

Qualcomm Announces Wi-Fi 7 Networking Pro Platform

Qualcomm has announced a new Wi-Fi 7 Networking Pro platform.
According to the company, it will be the most scalable commercial Wi-Fi 7 platform in the world.
The third generation of the Qualcomm Networking Pro line will deliver WLAN speeds of more than 10 Gbps on enterprise access points, mesh Wi-Fi networks and high-end home routers.As of now, Qualcomm has begun sending out samples to developers.
The Wi-Fi 7 Networking Pro platform supports 6 to 16 streams simultaneously on enterprise access points and high-end routers.
Channel widths can reach up to 320 MHz, total system PHY throughput up to 33 Gbps, and more than 10 Gbps for each WLAN PHY channel.The Networking Pro platform focuses on networks with large numbers of users.
Qualcomm promises to give high performance with low CPU utilization.
Workgroups, telepresence, metaverse and gaming in both the home and corporate segments are cited as potential scenarios.Qualcomm Networking Pro products support Automated Frequency Control (AFC) technology designed to reduce interference from existing Wi-Fi networks and other equipment.
Qualcomm decided to promote its technology here by abandoning the Open AFC initiative (in which Broadcom participates).
AFC requires an agent to connect to the Internet to select the most optimal channel and power configuration.
It is not known when Wi-Fi 7 devices will be available.

Google taught a neural network to explain the meaning of any joke

Google published a very extensive report on the work with the PaLM neural network, which is based on a language model with 540 billion parameters.
It is able to independently analyze the text and interpret it.
The main result of the work of experts from Google was the fact that PaLM can explain any joke in a very accessible way.What is the difference between a zebra and an umbrella? One is a striped animal associated with horses, the other is a device you use to protect you from the rain.Explanation from PaLM: This joke is an anti-joke.
The point is that the answer is obvious, and the joke is that the listener expected a funny answer.- An example of how a neural network works.Reportedly, the neural network is far from perfect and requires significant adjustments, but already at this stage shows \"human logic\".
PaLM bases its explanation on logical reasoning and relies on possible context, which allows a very accurate simulation of the human thought process.It is also worth noting that the new development can explain even not quite \"acceptable\" humor.
PaLM can logically interpret the meaning of even offensive jokes that use racial or religious overtones.

Enthusiasts have combined the new \"Batman\" movie with the classic 1966 TV series

The authors of the YouTube channel Corridor, which specializes in the use of visual effects, have significantly transformed the latest \"Batman\" movie with Robert Pattinson.
Using their own deepfake technology and neural networks they were able to insert the actors from the TV series \"Batman\" of 1966.
The result is really impressive.
The new \"Batman\" is not too amenable to editing because of the dark lighting and gloomy atmosphere.
Despite this, the enthusiasts were able to organically add comic book effects and spot the characters without any visible artifacts.The whole process of transforming the characters was shown in a separate video:

Qualcomm with its next-generation ARM-based chips will specifically compete with Apple Silicon

Employees praised Apple's move to Intel's own chipset.
The new M-Series chips provide increased processing power as well as extended battery life through lower power consumption.Last November, Qualcomm announced its plans to compete with Apple with its next-generation Arm-based SoC for the PC market.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Qualcomm will release its first M1 PC competitor by the end of 2023.It was recently revealed that Qualcomm will compete with Apple's M-series chips in 2023.
The new chips will be \"designed to set the benchmark for Windows PC performance\" and will be developed by the Nuvia team.According to Qualcomm, the future chips will directly compete with the Apple M1, M1 Pro and M1 Max and provide improved performance and battery life for PCs.It was previously reported that Qualcomm will provide OEMs with samples of the Nuvia chips in August of this year.
Now the plan has been pushed back to the second half of 2022.
After the testing phase, the first Nuvia device for a customer will be available in \"late\" 2023.Nuvia was acquired by Qualcomm in January 2021, which was a startup founded by former Apple chip architects.
Apple is preparing to release its latest M2 chip with the rumored MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models.Before Qualcomm announces its rival M1 chip series, Apple should have announced subsequent variants of the M2 chip.
Moreover, the company may announce its M3 chips by the end of 2023.

Cloudflare's blockchain platform suffered one of the most powerful DDoS attacks in history

Cloudflare announced that it had successfully protected one of its customers from one of the most powerful DDoS attacks in history.According to the service provider, the undisclosed cryptocurrency platform was targeted by a botnet of about 6000 \"zombie computers\" spread across 112 countries.
The botnet ended up generating 15.3 million requests per second.Although this is still less than the highest recorded figure, set at 17.2 million requests per second, the fact that the DDoS attack took place over HTTPS probably made its complexity higher than the record attack because of the higher computational load of secure HTTP.
The attack lasted 15 seconds.DDoS attacks aim to flood the network with requests and data packets to overwhelm and paralyze it.
The attack also demonstrates the ingenuity of the attackers as they come from cloud-based ISPs, as the attackers use more sophisticated and powerful network equipment than what ISPs typically offer.According to Cloudflare, the botnet appears to have mostly compromised systems with Java applications that were still vulnerable to the recently discovered CVE-2022-21449 vulnerability.

The NVIDIA H100 Data Center Computing Accelerator is priced at $36,000

NVIDIA has introduced the H100 gas pedal based on the new Hopper architecture.
This is a solution with 80 GB of memory, 18,432 CUDA cores (of which 15,872 are active) and a performance of 60 TFLOPS.Of course, this is, firstly, a specialized gas pedal for servers and supercomputers, and secondly, this is the latest top-level solution.
In Japan, the price of the new product is $36,445 including taxes.It is hard to say whether it is expensive or not, given the specifics of the device.
It is not possible to compare prices yet, as no one has added the card to their range yet.
The NVIDIA H100 graphics gas pedal won't hit the market until the second half of the year.The same store previously added the Instinct MI210 gas pedal to the site for $16,500.
Yes, NVIDIA's solution is faster, but not by half.
The new AMD has a performance of 45.3 TFLOPS, while the PCIe 5.0 H100 has 48 TFLOPS.
