KOReader supports custom CSS. You can certainly change the background colour with it, I think a grid should be possible too.

That's the ones, the 0414 release.

QWQ-32B for most questions, llama-3.1-8B for agents. I'm looking for new models to replace them though, especially the agent one.

Want to test the new GLM models, but I'd rather wait for llama.cpp to definitely fix the bugs with them first.

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.

Maybe some Borges too?

I knew a Horn of Plenty is a good choice, but I didn't think it's that good. Thanks!

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.

 

It turned out not much harder than 3 challenges:

  • Hostile Champions doesn't even annoy too much.
  • Badder Bosses is an easy one.
  • Barren Land is very manageable. You can't bless Ankhs, but you don't have to rely on them if you don't make major mistakes.
  • Was worried a bit about Swarm Intelligence, but it wasn't too bad.
  • Into Darkness was basically negated by the Eye of Newt. And then I got lucky with a projecting bow.
  • Chose huntress because of Forbidden Runes.

The armour ability is most useful for running for cover from disintegration beams.

Saved 5 health potions for depth 25 (Evil Eyes were a massive headache), spent them all and eventually had to resort to a scroll of retribution to finish Yog-Dzewa (was partially surrounded with <10hp and had no means to avoid the gaze attack, it had 33hp thanks to a well-timed bee). Alchemy and a projecting bow combined made the fists much easier to deal with, but I didn't have enough breathing windows to use more than 50% of the potions I had. Then I decided against ascending (and I don't like spending the time on that when the run is purely for an achievement and doesn't require it).

The only badge with non-trivial requirements remaining is the 1000000 score one, which would be easier with an additional challenge added (I don't feel confident enough to do another Doom Slayer with so many challenges). Which should I do?

  • On Diet: not sure if I'd make it, I had to use potions of cleansing for food 2-3 times even without the challenge this run (+a few more times on depth 25).
  • Faith Is My Armor: don't know how I'd handle the effective lack of armour with Swarm Intelligence on. On the other hand, nothing needs SoUs and they could be invested in rings...
  • Pharmacophobia: no.

Of course:

The rest of the instructions are all valid n-controlled Toffolis and Hadamards, but of course mostly Toffolis since it's replicating a classical algorithm. There is no quantum advantage, it's just a classical algorithm written in a format compatible with a quantum computer.

Add small errors to the quantum simulator (quantum computers always have those) and all'll break entirely - apparently (1) no error correction was used and (2) it's just logic gates for Doom rewritten as quantum gates. No wonder the author got bored, I'd be bored too.

LLaMA can't. Chameleon and similar ones can:

For Tolkien's work, there is the twelve volume "The Complete History of Middle Earth" which is about as inside baseball as you can get for Tolkien.

I'd replace HoME with Parma Eldalamberon, Vinyar Tengwar and other journals publishing his early materials here.

Recommending Italo Calvino's Six Memos for the Next Millennium, the lectures he has been preparing shortly before his death.

Not an assembly guide for a work of literature, but it'll help your own process if it's already ongoing and you want to improve.

The lectures also have some comments on what Calvino himself was doing here and there and why.

For me specifically, if spoilers hurt a book, it probably wasn't worth reading in the first place. I love when authors demonstrate mastery of language and narration, and no amount of spoilers can overshadow the direct experience of witnessing it enacted.

 

How do you acquire sheet music?

There're IMSLP and musescore, but many things are just not there.

Bonus points if you know anything with xenharmonic/microtonal music well-represented.

 

There are some subreddits which may never happen to come online again. There are also some subreddits which are very valuable because of the old posts and responses. Alas, the intersection isn't empty (I personally am anxious about r/suggestmeabook and r/TrueLit).

Naturally, one would like to download all posts and comments to an offline storage. Naturally, the usual methods are useless when the subreddit is private.

Are there any good options for the pessimistic scenario? Scraping the web archive? Filtering ML datasets? Anything else?
