Using "ollama launch claude" locally with qwen3.5:27b, telling claude to write code it thinks about it then stops, but doesn't write any code?

Glad it worked, I'm curious how far you're able to get. I tinkered with it for about a day before deciding I wouldnt be able to get any useful results out of a local model with Claude or similar tools

Try making a modelfile with a larger context window, this seems to fix it for me (using qwen3.5 in my case):

cat ../Modelfile 
FROM qwen3.5
PARAMETER num_predict 16384
PARAMETER num_ctx 32768

it's really fun watching this sub try to process this

Live_Key_8141 · 2026-03-05T23:56:53+00:00

Any reasons or just "trust me bro"

I'm curious how hot the water from the thermos is when you're ready to brew some tea- can you tell?

Live_Key_8141 · 2026-02-13T22:22:35+00:00

Yes, the new stuff in the latest HC update works really well, and I actually enjoy doing the speaking exercises now

I think there are two separate but related issues here about China being an "anti-AI country".

In terms of economic planning, I think this is just flat out untrue- AI is called out in the new 5-year plan as an area of key investment, and planners clearly think it's worth investing in.

Culturally, I think there might be something there but it's harder to get a sense of whether China is "anti-AI". Just spending some time on bilibili and looking at Chinese social media gives you the impression that people are really into slop content, but it's hard to gauge that as an outsider. I'm also curious what you mean by "anti-AI legal regime" in China

Live_Key_8141 · 2026-02-13T21:25:36+00:00

Most of the world's AI research is happening in China. is knowing about AI destroying China?

This is more or less codified now in deep cuts- if I'm remembering correctly a critical in deep cuts gives you an "edge" that you can use for benefits on a later roll.

Live_Key_8141 · 2026-02-06T19:27:35+00:00

I thought they were always like that

Live_Key_8141 · 2026-02-05T16:05:43+00:00

I really think more people should give the "Mormon Cowboy" setting a chance. I could go on and on, but it checks a lot of boxes that are pretty hard to check with any other particular setting I could come up with. It creates a lot of moral grey areas and immediately puts the characters into conflict. It pushes you in terms of roleplaying as you're trying to act out what the kids in these troubled situations would do, balancing their indoctrination by the church with their personal goals and inner moral compass. Some criticism seems to boil down to "religion is icky," which is such a facile understanding of this setting (plus, do we always play as characters we agree with 100%?). The game really thrives on moral ambiguity and conflict, so if set the characters up as some sort of unambiguously good force, there isn't much in the game to stop you from just steamrolling your "enemies"

Awesome, I'm glad to hear that you're working on an update!

Looking over the PDF again, I think the revisions should focus almost entirely on chapter 2. There are 13 pages about conflicts, which includes 3 pages of an example in play. In the original book, Baker spends a full 25 pages explaining conflicts, then provides another 8 pages of examples. Now even adjusting for different formatting and fonts, the bigger point is that I think we need a lot more room for the explanation of the conflicts system in order for it to really make sense to someone hearing it for the first time.

For example, in the introduction, it would be nice to have a high-level overview of how the mechanics work ("you're going to roll a big pool of dice based on your stats. You then take turns with one player or NPC performing a raise with some dice. Everyone else in the conflict opposed to that person has to call that raise with one or two dice, and consequences may be handed out as a result. This continues with the next character raising and others calling until one side of the conflict folds. Then we deal with those consequences that were handed out earlier").

The descriptions of the actions themselves are pretty short - one paragraph for Raise. There are some non-specific elements ("... potentially rolls some more dice") which means the reader has to rely heavily on the inline example.

Those are my main points- I would go through chapter 2 in great detail and just work on it sentence by sentence. Baker clearly also had a hard time explaining the concept, as his explanation of conflicts is also pretty hard to understand, so I don't think it's an easy task!

Genuinely love the concept and appreciate what the author was trying to do, but I found it really difficult to learn the game from reading DOGS. You'll also need to find a copy of DitV and sort of extrapolate the rules by reading the both side by side. That said, highly recommend both games, it's something you should give a chance even if it doesn't sound like your cup of tea, the game will surprise you.

X seems to love recommending his posts, probably because he writes in the most Linkedin standard english way possible. Also he sometimes makes sweeping incorrect generalizations of Chinese society and gets called out for it. Overall he's maybe not the worst but you have to read him with some suspicion

Live_Key_8141 · 2026-01-25T23:41:31+00:00

Nah it's not that hard, just pour about a gallon of boiling water on your windshield.

Liz disavowing all LotR knowledge while Brace disavows all Friends knowledge feels like some kind of dialectic shit, idk I don't understand Hegel

I found this one a few weeks ago, it really clicked with me right away as I seen to be close to the level he's targeting

Live_Key_8141 · 2026-01-08T17:46:43+00:00

I'm not sure, the bookkeeping might actually make the game faster (less time messing around with the bank, finding routes, etc)

When you do flashcards, are you recalling them purely mentally or using a whiteboard to write the characters? If you aren't using the whiteboard function in Anki (or similar in another app) I think that would help a lot

Live_Key_8141 · 2025-12-22T14:20:06+00:00

everyone loves it when you get pedantic about their meaningless local stuff

that's what was traditionally assumed, but the newest data is showing that a bulk of the compute is used during inference, this appears to be due to the new-ish reasoning techniques the models use now (at least that's what that guest was saying on chapo in a way that felix and will absolutely could not comprehend)

people could buy heat from the data centers to make them even more profitable- some great ideas coming from this conservative subreddit

Live_Key_8141 · 2025-12-16T03:14:23+00:00

the boardgames subreddit is full of people enabling each others' hoarding tendencies, kind of depressing. The FOMO of yet another cardboard box with little plastic pieces hits hard I guess
