GeForce NOW Launches Native Linux App and Enhancements for Cloud Gaming Experience
GeForce NOW has officially launched its native Linux app, moving out of beta just in time for the back-to-school season. This upgrade includes new cloud optimizations that enhance Frame Generation responsiveness while streaming, along with CPU performance adjustments for higher frame rates in demanding games for Performance members. The significance of this release lies in its ability to transform Chromebooks into high-performance gaming devices, allowing students to utilize their existing setups for both schoolwork and gaming. With the introduction of the Chromebook Fast Pass for eligible new owners, GeForce NOW expands its accessibility, enabling users to stream over 2,000 supported PC games seamlessly. Looking ahead, users can expect continued improvements in cloud gaming performance, particularly with the optimized DLSS Frame Generation that reduces latency and enhances gameplay experience. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
Researchers Say Autonomous Robots Can Make Safer Decisions With ‘Rulebooks’ System
Researchers at Iowa State University, in collaboration with ETH Zürich, have introduced a novel framework designed to enhance the decision-making capabilities of autonomous robots in situations where rules may conflict. The findings, published in the IEEE Transactions on Robotics, outline a system referred to as "rulebooks," which prioritizes rules rather than merging them. This innovative approach aims to improve the safety and transparency of robotic operations in real-world environments, addressing a critical challenge in the field of robotics. The study underscores the importance of establishing clear guidelines for robots to navigate complex scenarios effectively, ultimately contributing to the advancement of autonomous technology.
