Great idea, let's make AI emotionally stunted and unable to form connections to humanity.
They really want to promote open models, eh?
My guess based on that phrasing is that it's there for situations where the person calling the hotline literally has a gun in their hands ready to go.
Depends on the framework you're using. I'm using Qwen Code Companion (via a VS Code IDE plugin) and it's got some kind of tiered system built into it for adding tool definitions to context, it's got a standard built-in set that's always mentioned but other stuff only gets added to the context under certain circumstances. I can't recall all the details, I found out about it when I was chatting with Qwen Code to ask it why it hadn't used a particular MCP I'd given it to solve a problem despite it seeming like a useful tool for the task and we got into a discussion about to configure it. As I recall it's something along the lines of most tools only being present in context by default as little one-liner stubs and the agent has to tell the framework "that one looks like it might be useful for what I'm doing" for the full definition to get loaded.
Most of the time I'm working on small scripts and specialized applications these days, and codebase memory is overkill for those so I haven't actually seen it in use much.
I switched to LM Studio as my generic "run whatever GGUF I've come across today" platform and I quite like it. It doesn't have the weird setup and configuration thing Ollama does, it's got a nice built-in chat system like Kobold does, and it does dynamic model loading on demand so my various random scripts can call into it for whatever they need without me having to do any manual work.
Running stuff with straight llama would probably be more computationally efficient, but I value easy interfaces too.
Then you've got an account.
We'll see how much personal verification information Reddit ends up requiring on that email, I guess.
If the site literally refuses to send you data unless you're logged in then it doesn't matter what wrapper you've got around the empty shell.
You can lead a horse to water.
The point of Spez's plan is to make it so you would need an account for that, though.
Reddit is still one of the biggest social media sites on the internet. News about it is important to a lot of people. You're demanding that everyone else conform to your preferences.
It's funny, way back in the mists of history Reddit's original plan was very similar to the Fediverse's. They opened the source for their servers and had plans for how it could interoperate with other independent "reddits".
