  • A piece of plastic broke off from my laptop once. It was supposed to hold one of the two screws fixing the cover of the RAM & drive section and now there was just a larger round hole. I’ve measured the hole and the screw, designed a replacement in Blender (not identical, I wanted something more solid and reliable) and printed it; took two attempts to get the shape perfectly right. Have had zero issues with it in all these years.








  • What I’ve ultimately converged to without any rigorous testing is:

    • using Q6 if it fits in VRAM+RAM (anything higher is a waste of memory and compute for barely any gain), otherwise either some small quant (rarely) or ignoring the model altogether;
    • not really using IQ quants - afair they depend on a dataset and I don’t want the model’s behaviour to be affected by some additional dataset;
    • other than the Q6 thing, in any trade-offs between speed and quality I choose quality - my usage volumes are low and I’d better wait for a good result;
    • I load as much as I can into VRAM, leaving 1-3GB for the system and context.

    Oh, forgot about healing wells, thanks for the reminder. You should probably be able to throw the ankh directly too? But I don’t encounter them every run (e.g. didn’t have any this one) so they aren’t reliable.

    I know ascending is easy (did it many times, though only with 0-1 challenges, none of them Swarm Intelligence) and adds a 1.25 multiplier and I’ll do it when I go for that badge - but I didn’t plan for it (thought 6 challenges would be 2-3x harder than it turned out) so I wasn’t prepared to ascend this run. I’d have probably died in the 21-24 zone.

    So you think it should be On Diet? Hmm, maybe. But exploration with both On Diet and Into Darkness will be challenging.









  • I wonder how much Beckett was inspired by this while writing Rough for Theatre II:

    B: [Hurriedly.] ‘… morbidly sensitive to the opinion of others at the time, I mean as often and for as long as they entered my awareness–’ What kind of Chinese is that? A: [Nervously.] Keep going, keep going! B: ‘… for as long as they entered my awareness, and that in either case, I mean whether such on the one hand as to give me pleasure or on the contrary on the other to cause me pain, and truth to tell–’ Shit! Where’s the verb? A: What verb? B: The main! A: I give up. B: Hold on till I find the verb and to hell with all this drivel in the middle. [Reading.] ‘… were I but … could I but …’ –Jesus!–‘… though it be … be it but…’–Christ!–ah! I have it–‘… I was unfortunately incapable …’ Done it! A: How does it run now? B: [Solemnly.] ‘… morbidly sensitive to the opinion of others at the time …’–drivel drivel drivel–‘… I was unfortunately incapable–’ [The lamp goes out. Long pause.]
