Hello...

Is it possible to use aider with a local model running in LMStudio (or ollama)?

From a quick glance i did not see an obvious way to do that...

Hopefully i am totally wrong!

Thanks for your interest in aider.

Yes, absolutely you can work with local models. Here are the docs for working with lmstudio and ollama:

https://aider.chat/docs/llms/lm-studio.html

https://aider.chat/docs/llms/ollama.html

Yes absolutely

In the left bar there's a "connecting to LLMs" section

Check out ollama as an example

yeah:

    aider --model ollama_chat/deepseek-r1:32b

(or whatever)

This didn't work well for me, no changes are ever made but maybe it's because I'm just using the 14B model.

In case you are on a 32+GB Mac, you could try deepseek-r1-distill-qwen-32b-mlx in LM Studio. It’s just barely usable speed-wise, but gives useful results most of the time.

Neat. Can I use aider with a local model running in LMStudio (or ollama)?

After a very quick reading of their pages it does not seem so.

Hopefully I am wrong...

Yes you can: https://aider.chat/docs/llms/ollama.html

I respectfully disagree.

Tesla is run by a bigot, far right extremist. I would never send money to them, no matter their offerings.

Not so with Apple.

Good grief. Yes, Musk is a raging asshole. But so soon we apparently forget that Jobs was also a raging asshole.

I don't understand where this trust comes from. Just like any other large company, Apple will not stand up for your civil rights when it seriously threatens the bottom line.

Maybe there is research not on bigger bangs, but on smaller packages?

Think about a baseball-size device able to take out a city block.

Then think about an escadron of drones able to transport those baseballs to very precise city blocks...

Wake me up the day we find a new earth, a baby earth right by us and the moon...

Indeed not always rational...

I think you got it backwards ;)

In any case, this is (officially) obsolete now.

I programmed in APL a long time ago... even got 'not bad' at it.

The best analogy i can give of my thought process is that first i unfolded the problem into one or more many-dimension object(s) ... then took a different "stance" of looking at the object, then refolded them into the final solution.

So yes... I had it all in my head at some point.

Hey!

I have been a good citizen of Hacker News for fourteen years now...

Anyone here would want to throw me an invite to lobste.rs?

:)

Haha that's my line! I would guess that those people who are already on the seafood website know other technical people in their day-to-day workspaces like silicon valley or Palo Alto or wherever, so it's easy for them to get a link. Meanwhile for those of us on the opposite side of the US or, barely in the Anglo-Sphere at all, we are on the outside looking in and are not likely to get a link just by being mostly lurkers and occasional contributors.

At least for me, I'm the only HN user I know except my dad who doesn't even post, he just got lurk links from his knee if the woods like hackaday.

I requested an invite from a guy I have only known via Reddit, we've never met IRL.

I can't actually remember who is the person who I requested the invite from, I think they were given out somewhat freely by some users.

You can look on your user page, or search for your username on the user tree page.

I did, but I can't say who that username is

Well, that would be an awkward DM to write. "Hello, you invited me to the website, but I don't actually know who you are."

Modern problems...

Thousands of civilians injured... very few Hezbollah dead.

Makes Israel look like a terrorist organization, IMHO.

There has been no statement or indication that the thousands of people injured were comprised in any significant proportion of civilians. Given that these pagers-- reportedly 5000 of them-- were purchased by Hezbollah directly and videos of their explosions show a minimal blast radius it is premature and, depending on motives, propagandistic to claim that the thousands of people injured were civilians.

Israel's bombing of Gaza made them look like a terrorist organization. I believe the majority of deaths and a significant fraction of injured in this attack are in fact Hezbollah members.

You can't take Lebanon's report on who the injured were at face value. I've not doubt that innocent people were injured by this, but it's not _thousands_ of innocent people.

>Thousands of civilians

You have absolutely nothing on which to base the claim that these were civilians and not Hezbollah members.

I doubt you would have been happy either way, but I think your statements about the injuries is also unsubstantiated.

Hezbollah like most other similar organisations is not a primarily military organisation even though they are a paramilitary one. The vast majority of the members of Hezbollah have non-military roles of various kinds.

Civilians are shown to be in proximity of these devices when they are exploding. It appears that these devices were all triggered simultaneously, rather than waiting for individual targets to be isolated.

One reason is that Hezbollah is not a purely military organization, and has political, medical and educational arms. Another is that some of the reported casualties are the family of Hezbollah members.
