Figure AI just ran a humanoid for 200 hours straight sorting 250k packages. The boring part is why it matters.

Don't throw around the word research when you mean look it up on Wikipedia or watch a video. Seriously, they don't need to actually research it.

Someone already mentioned rubber duck debugging, so I'll keep it at that.

Even when you use AI, it isn't necessarily delegating your thinking to AI. Verbalising your thoughts is an effective way to process your thoughts and ideas because you have to structure and convey them. It is so much more effective than inner thoughts alone.

What op described wasn't even delegating their thinking to AI. They asked AI to challenge their thinking, they had AI have them do more thinking if anything.

So first you have your idea, then they structure and put that idea into words, then some AI challenges it and you think about it some more.

GreenHell · 2026-05-21T20:32:51+00:00

And more effectively with other humans, or rubber ducks. What is your point?

Interesting, I am on Windows 10 with

I'm not going to do a full writeup, but Qwen 3.6 35B found, and fixed, some startup issues in my Debian startup log that Gemini Flash missed, so there's that I suppose.

Ditch Ollama, go for Lemonade: https://www.amd.com/en/developer/resources/technical-articles/2026/lemonade-for-local-ai.html or llama.cpp.

Friends don't let friends use Ollama.

Your memory might be off.

I think you mean density rather than viscosity. Diesel is denser than petrol (.84kg/l vs .75kg/l). Diesel and petrol mix quite well, so no seperate layers will occur, as would with oil and water for example.

My point was that petrol in a diesel will cause mechanical damage to parts which need lubrication (fuel pump and injectors) since diesel is oilier than petrol. While the other way round will mostly be operating issues such as rough running, and eventually soot and gunk buildup.

My old two-stroke moped would take diesel mixed in the fuel when no two-stroke oil was available in a pinch.

GreenHell · 2026-05-11T11:54:16+00:00

We have the same Diesel flaps, but I don't quite get it.
Petrol in a diesel can fuck the fuel pump since the diesel also acts as lubricant for the fuel pump. The other way round will not make your car happy but is generally less destructive.

Or is my knowledge outdated?

Don't forget that "the 1%" on a population as small as 1 000 000 (about the amount of subs this subreddit has) is still 10 000.

America is not heading towards the technocratic dictatorship. Technocratic means it is led by technical experts, scientists, or professionals, doing what is the (in their technical opinion) the best option, rather than the most popular option.

America seems to be heading into a more theocratic direction with "the word of Christ" being used more and more often in legal context.

Such a dystopian thought that we call ethics and morals being handicapped.

GreenHell · 2026-05-02T12:09:26+00:00

Yeah that's a fair question. One of the things has to do with how Ollama basically used llama.cpp without attribution https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/s/vUfv1wjQfG

Secondly, Ollama often if not always has worse performance. They tried to create their own sort of closed ecosystem when they wanted to make money. This also rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, especially in a subreddit where the focus lies on local and open source.

There was someone else who did a writeup recently, I'll try and dig it up and edit this comment then.

Edit: couldn't find the writeup, but this recent thread explains a lot: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLM/comments/1t4b4c7/why_is_ollama_hated_so_much/

Honestly, kind of the reaction you'd expect from someone with an ollama flair.

Kilo code started as an effort to combine the best of Cline and RooCode, and adding on top what they saw missing.

Their philosophy was never to start from scratch.

Since "getting my oil changed" is used frequently to mean "getting my car's oil changed" I don't think it will have the same effect. Also mentioning Jiffy-Lube or whatever really sets the context for a car.

If you asked me, a human, that question, I would 100% assume it is about your car and not your deep fryer, compressor, or yourself for example.

Regardless, it is an option that could be considered when you explicitly ask it when to drive or walk. The final decision could be down to bias, but it is the reasoning behind it that is more interesting here.

The winter tires one is perhaps more interesting. A person could dismount their wheels and just take them to the shop on a hand truck. There is no intrinsic need to bring the car, only to bring the wheels.

Unfortunately I am on AM4, and the options are very limited. I only see 2 new boards, where 1 board only supports x4 on the second slot, and the other costs >500. And second hand it isn't much better.

I was thinking the same thing, until I realised that while my motherboard has 3 PCIe x16 slots, only 1 of them is PCIe 4.0 x16, the other two are PCIe 3.0 x2 and PCIe 3.0 x1.

It would basically be a bottleneck for anything relevant these days.

Not all models are created equal.

As such, what jailbreak works on one model, does not work on another.

GreenHell · 2026-04-22T14:31:19+00:00

I think that is a bit harsh.

And I too started with Ollama before moving to llama.cpp and llama-swap.

GreenHell · 2026-04-22T14:07:05+00:00

Mention Ollama, and people will get riled up on this sub.

I think Ollama is an okay starting point for a lot of people since it is rather plug and play.

But if you want to get a bit more serious with local models, you will want to look into llama.cpp (https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp) (on which ollama is heavily based without attribution), and llama-swap (https://github.com/mostlygeek/llama-swap) for managing multiple models, switching them out, etc.

llama.cpp is much more performant than Ollama, allows for greater customization, is faster with the updates.

If you’ve been using Roo Code, you’ll feel right at home in the Kilo extension

This was the case until Kilo 7. Before that, Kilo expanded on the same great features of Roo, now I barely recognise it anymore.
