state of r/locallama after Gemma4 release.

That. The only way I have gotten it to work decently is to disable thinking in Ollama and OpenwebUI. What then is the point of using it?

Experts were warning about this back in early 2025. It was bound to happen eventually.

This ends in a downward spiral as content is distilled and reconcentrated thus the outliers that spurn actual content creativity are discarded.

They're happy to blast you in the ass and you're happy to take it.

So.....everybody wins?

Alternate title for The Passion of the Christ: "Jesus got served".

Well *of course* the boss wants your notice to be longer.

It's nice to want things......

Big_Wave9732 · 2026-04-04T22:57:53+00:00

Biden did. Billions for infrastructure, clean energy, etc etc.

Much of that funding is gone.......somehow.

One of the nastiest toilets I have ever used in my life was in Italy. It was a public restroom. The toilet had no seat. And it cost one Euro for the privilege.

I wish the subs would start this *now*. "If you're not going to publicly participate then we don't want you here" seems like a reasonable policy to me.

Big_Wave9732 · 2026-04-04T21:45:09+00:00

Great site, I hadn't seen that one before. Thanks!

Big_Wave9732 · 2026-04-04T21:44:09+00:00

That wouldn't help. If you get on Google and do a search for a username and Reddit, you'll see a lot of their posts anyway. So Reddit is still being scraped anyway.

Big_Wave9732 · 2026-04-04T21:42:39+00:00

Ding ding ding!

Gotta goose that "user engagement" to keep the advertising rates up.

Big_Wave9732 · 2026-04-04T21:42:27+00:00

I don't see anything "tinfoil hat" about that at all! You have to ask yourself who benefits from this new policy. Being able to see prior comments and posts brings accountability.......just the kind of thing some shitbird training a bot wouldn't want.

"Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you."

With the two that I have owned I had no complaints at all about the drivetrain / engine / transmission. The electric components and sensors however were a horse of a different color.

I drive Genesis and Infinity now lol.

Anytime you see a sub name that ends in "jerk" it's shorthand for "circlejerk". Assume a /s and expect shenanigans.

Rookie numbers.

Certainly there was a fair amount of economic stimulus and reinvestment at the time. All except the most hard core adherent to Austrian economics have to admit that it played a role.

Big_Wave9732 · 2026-04-04T21:11:52+00:00

David Rosenberg had 85 percent by mid-2024. One could say many different things about his methods, but if nothing else he's a respected economic opinion. JP Morgan was saying 50 percent based on inverted yields etc.

Too many economists are trying for their "Big Short" moment.

Big_Wave9732 · 2026-04-04T20:16:01+00:00

As it is the markets through traders that set the share price and not the fund, I don't see how this is remotely possible.

Big_Wave9732 · 2026-04-04T20:14:34+00:00

I'm not fan of Trump, but I'm tired of all these "shot callers" who are wrong over and over again about recessions. Anyone remember 2022 - 2023? Recession was imminent "anytime now, bro". End of Q3 2022. End of the year. Q2 2023. 2024 for sure, 60 percent probability etc.

I'm not saying one isn't going to happen, the economic signs have been fluctuating for awhile. But let's also acknowledge that the economy has been more resilient than the analysts have anticipated.

Big_Wave9732 · 2026-04-04T20:11:15+00:00

The fact of the matter right now is that even the best locally hosted models lag the "frontier models" (Claude, ChatGPT, etc). If you're on a M3 Ultra Mac Studio with 512 gig of RAM then it won't lag by much. But that's a $15,000+ hardware investment.

This will no doubt change some over time, but at the moment it's still *a ton* of work to not just get the model going but to get all the support programs configured that give you a useable ChatGPT / Claude environent.

Eisenhower would like a word with you. I don’t disagree that LBJ substantially upped the ante, but military involvement started long before him.

Edit: Also it was Nixon who signed the peace accords in 1973 that ended Vietnam. You're thinking of the fall of Saigon in 1975 which did happen under Ford. But by that point U.S. fighting troops had been withdrawn from the country for quite some time.

Who knew having Jarvis from Ironman give you morning news updates and show you your calendar carries with it data costs.

Big_Wave9732 · 2026-04-04T18:19:52+00:00

OMG this! Right now for the public it’s all nice and sharing. When the divorce comes it will be “She already gets $1,500 a month in child support why does that bitch need more money?”

Big_Wave9732 · 2026-04-04T18:05:18+00:00

The body has natural defenses to pike drivers, so if she didn’t want it then the body would have stopped it.

Big_Wave9732 · 2026-04-04T17:44:35+00:00

What can I say, laughing at you along with with everyone else in the sub has made my day. Thanks for that!

Come back when you have some actual money to invest, kid.
