This is a FAQ for end users, about a feature in software running on end users’ computers.

It is absolutely doublespeak to call it “local”. Are we supposed to invent an entirely new term now to distinguish between remote and local? Please do not accept this usage. It will make meaningful communication much harder.

Edit: I mean seriously, by this token OpenAI, Google, Facebook, etc. could call their servers “locally hosted”. It is an utterly meaningless term if you accept this usage.

If they had said “locally hosted in our datacenter”

Then that would also be an oxymoron.

Local is the opposite of remote. This is a remote server. Remote servers are not local. This is not a matter of interpretation.

Mine doesn’t have @ signs. This might be easier to do in the lemmy web UI than within Sync. When you start typing an instance name, it will pop up a list of matches that you can click, so you don’t have to worry about typos or syntax.

Why does local mean local? I’m not sure I understand your question.

I’m disappointed that the improved performance seems to be tied to AI upscaling. Given how much more powerful the PS5 Pro is supposed to be, I was hoping we’d just get Graphics Mode at 60fps, with no post-processing fudgery.

It’s been several years now, and I’ve seen several generations of AI upscaling (DLSS and FSR). I remain unimpressed with the concept on the whole. Just give me native resolution with decent antialiasing. Please. I’ll take a clean 1080 of 1440 image over weird 4K AI artifacts any day.

I still think the original performance mode was much, much worse than it needed to be on the original PS5 hardware. They made some strange decisions with postprocessing. There’s no technical reason it needed to be so blurry. It’s not even a matter of resolution; it looks bad even at 1080p.

“Locally hosted” means it’s running on the local host. In this case, that would mean on the same computer running Firefox.

Calling something that is only accessible over the internet “locally hosted” is outrageous doublespeak.

Orbit currently uses a version of Mistral LLM (Mistral 7B) that is locally hosted on Mozilla’s Google Cloud Platform instance.

Hmm.

>locally hosted

>Google Cloud

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

So probably there will be some systems other than Linux that do use Rust

There’s one called Redox that is entirely written in Rust. Still in fairly early stages, though. https://www.redox-os.org/

Have you used Facebook in the last 5 years?

The UX is godawful. More than half my feed is just random crap suggestions and ads.

(she’s part husky)

Does that mean that instead of crying murder, she only cries manslaughter?

Was there some medical reason for this? Seems too extensive to have been done for surgery.

Installing Linux after Windows should be fine without disconnecting drives.

The reverse is troublesome. Microsoft’s installer is all too happy to shit on your drives, even the ones you’re not using for installation. But Linux installers are much more friendly to dual-booting and all kinds of complex setups.

Or about a quarter of a single Super Smash Bros fanfic.

That’s like 10-20 adult novels. Respect.

Now that you mention it, yeah, I wonder if they haven’t updated recently.

Isn’t the 7950X3D the best at basically everything? I mean, disregarding value per dollar, it’s still better than any of the other Ryzens for gaming, isn’t it?

https://www.logicalincrements.com/ is a good starting point.

If you want to beat the PS5 Pro in terms of raw performance, you’ll probably want to look at the “great” tier and higher. It’s hard to say now since we don’t have any real-world benchmarks to go by.

$700 seems like a lot for a PS5 Pro, but if it’s really as powerful as they claim then it will still compare well to PCs under $1k.

I explained why that data does not contradict what the previous commenter was trying to say.

Speed is less of a factor than endurance in a persistence-hunting scenario where we’re much slower than our prey anyway.

I don’t know the facts for this specific claim, but the logic is fair. One group can be better suited for endurance without being faster. One group could also be faster on average without having the individual fastest performers. Not only because of cultural factors, but also because the distribution curves might have different shapes for men vs women. There could be greater outliers (top performers) among men even if the average is higher among women in general. It’s not necessarily as straightforward as, say, height, where men’s distribution curve is almost the same shape as women’s, just shifted up a few inches.

I don’t have the data to draw any real conclusions, though.

One of the problems looking at athletic records is that it’s really just the elite among a self-selected group of enthusiasts, which doesn’t tell us a whole lot about what might have been the norm 100,000 years ago, or what might be the norm today if all else were equal between genders. These are not controlled trials.

I’ve read that the top women outperform the top men in long-distance open-water swimming, supposedly due in part to higher body fat making women more buoyant, helping to regulate body temperature, and providing fuel. This is the first time I’ve read that women might have an advantage in running, though.

I wish the article provided citations. The reality is probably too complex to fit into a headline or pop-sci writeup.

Same on macOS. Apple has “case-sensitive HFS+” as an option for UNIX compatibility (or at least they used to) but actually running a system on it is a bad idea in general.
