"Scientists know that these fungi form partnerships with 80% of all plant species on Earth, a relationship that evolved some 450 million years ago. What they have not understood is how organisms with no brain or central nervous system can decide whom to trade with, and on what terms."
How Do Fungi Keep the Planet Healthy? | Quanta Magazine
Evolutionary biologist Toby Kiers explains how fungal networks in soil trade nutrients with plants, help keep carbon underground, and strike bargains without having a brain.

"Instead of forcing graphics processors to calculate the material physics and lighting of virtual surfaces pixel-by-pixel to achieve high levels of photorealism, Deep Learning Super Sampling 5 (DLSS 5) is a neural rendering approach that “paints” these properties onto surfaces in real time."
#Nvidia’s new rendering software, Deep Learning Super Sampling 5, can “make games feel like interactive films,” according to a reviewer. It runs in milliseconds on a single GPU.
