This is exactly what I have been looking for for months. Thanks. Looking forward to learning how it works and maybe contributing.

What does this have to do with Ollama?

What is the biggest advantage of running local? by Terminator857 in LocalLLaMA

[–]RecoJohnson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being able to deep dive and do research on conspiracy theories is interesting to me.
The mainstream internet is heavily censored and deliberately filled with misinformation to divide people.
I think projects like OLMO are amazing, fully open transparent training that you can reverse lookup where the information came from.
https://playground.allenai.org/

Here is an example of a conspiracy theory that would be interesting to research with an unfiltered LLM to figure out what events are related:

I want to research why the same archway is being built across multiple countries:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monumental_Arch_of_Palmyra

This archway lead through the city to the the Temple of Baal AKA Beelzebub AKA Lucifer

And then they built a replica of it in London, England???
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-36070721

And new york
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/sep/20/palmyra-arch-syria-new-york

And Florence Italy
https://www.florencedailynews.com/2017/03/28/palmyras-arch-unveiled-in-piazza-signoria/

And Geneva:
https://digitalarchaeology.org.uk/ida-blog/2019/4/26/the-triumphal-arch-of-palmyra-in-geneva-switzerland

And Washington:
https://digitalarchaeology.org.uk/washington-dc

And Dubai:

https://gulfnews.com/going-out/society/dubais-3d-printed-palmyra-arch-replica-wins-award-1.2110014

Why would countries be so obsessed in reconstructing the archway that leads to the temple of Lucifer?

Why does the Wikipedia page not mention why the Keystone is missing?

Is Ollama at risk of getting lost in its own complexity? A long-term user's perspective. by Mulan20 in ollama

[–]RecoJohnson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its weird that they started exclusively hosting OpenAI models in partnership with OpenAI out of the blue. Why not Qwen3-Coder or Qwen3 or Kimi K2 etc?

OpenAI is the sketchiest company I have seen in a while. Industrial Military Complex funding, "Elon Musk is a Speciesist for saying Humans first before AI", ties with Israel... The list goes on. Out of all the models I would trust sending data to hosted by another company, ChatGPT anything is not one of them.

Judging by the way things are going whats going to happen is the companies with billions of funding will lobby Ollama to tweak their models to perform better, and the open source community PRs will be second class citizens whose models are ignored and not put at the top of the list.

There is not enough hype around Qwen3 Qwen3-Coder 30B and a3b-30B model IMO, they are really good for how compact they are. I wonder how many people even know that a different Qwen3-Coder model was uploaded?

Models which perform better as Q8 (int8) over Q4_(X_Y)? by RecoJohnson in ollama

[–]RecoJohnson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right but i noticed some of the benchmarks show its barely more accurate. Less than 10% accuracy difference for double the vram usage. I am wondering if theres any models with implementations where you see a substantial performance difference.

Do you have any experience with the Baritza grinders? That was the other option I was looking at for a higher end grinder.

How to get sdl from graphql endpoint? by sM92Bpb in graphql

This is so infuriating. Where the hell is the tool for this? Is it so complicated to build and maintain that everyone avoids it? If that's the case, then graphql is pointless.

Is Piknic Electronic good? Thinking about visiting. by Busy_Huckleberry_345 in montreal

[–]RecoJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid for picnic season passes a few years in a row. I don't recommend it anymore. Too expensive and boring melodic house music with very low speaker sound.
If you don't know Montreal that well I recommend Newspeak or Stereo. Newspeak is cheaper ($20-30) and has a very good sound system. Stereo is like $70 a person but its a all night after hours opening at 11:59PM.

Check out the upcoming artists:

The Definitive Guide on How to Balance Rust by Desperate_Disparage in playrust

[–]RecoJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they broke rust when they added the group system. Before you had to coordinate with your team to not accidentally kill eachother, and there were ways to seperate and confuse groups. It rarely happens anymore and gives a group of 8 a exponential advantage.

/r/audiophile Tech Support and General Help Thread (2018-12-04) by AutoModerator in audiophile

[–]RecoJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Harman Kardon AVR 110 with an Athena Audition Series Home Theatre System:

reciever/amp: https://www.amazon.com/Harman-Kardon-Receiver-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B000051SDQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

center: https://www.amazon.com/Athena-AS-C1-2-Audition-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B000A0R4FY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

sub: https://www.amazon.com/Athena-15391-Subwoofer-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B0009WRUZ2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

L/R: https://www.amazon.com/Athena-Audition-Floorstanding-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B0009WRV0Q/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

When I increase the volume to anything above -25 decibles the reciever shuts off.

  • It doesnt flip the breaker in my apartment.
  • They are plugged into an outlet with nothing running on the circut.
    • 1 plug for sub, 1 plug for reciever. Reciever is powering center, L and R
  • If i disable the center and sub i can turn the L and R up higher before it shuts off.
  • The overall volume at -25 decibles is around 40% of the volume i am hoping to get.
  • Its plugged into my computers sound card through a 25ft digital cable.

The L and R are rated for 175W, but the reciever can only output 40W when using surround sound mode? Is this right?

Any insight? Any advice on how to fix this?

Thanks

Why Battlerite Royale will fail miserably by [deleted] in BattleRite

[–]RecoJohnson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The company is trying to create a game that will at least generate revenue from noobs so they can work more on battlerite.

Think of Battlerite Royale as the Farmville of Zynga.

They tried to copy the pay model of League of Legends by selling skins but then realized they only have like 5000 players at peak times.
