That's 3 times the heart rate of a hummingbird.

What key would be a good candidate as a default though? Imagine the memes for exiting vim if you needed a modifier to get into normal mode. Caps lock is truly a useless key and should be escape anyway.

As someone who cut their teeth on a sun "programmer" layout, I really need control to be in that position. I might try mapping the vestigial control key to escape though. Or maybe the hack that dtj1123 describes (tap is escape, hold is control), if I can pull that off on macos.

<ctrl-[> always works out of the box which is less of a stretch than esc.

I do jk as I always find a roll easier on the fingers than a double-tap jj or kk. You could also use space provided you aren't using one of those distros that bases its identity on the spacebar.


Yes. And if we don't also stop burning fossil fuels then we'll never even break even.

You should question this and advocate for yourself. The important number is total lifetime exposure to LDL (actually apoB, but doctors aren't routinely testing that yet). The arterial damage is cumulative. You shouldn't wait until you are at high risk of cardiac events to take action. The time to slow down the progression is now.

I'm just replying based on taking your comment at face value. LDL of 150 is very high and living with that for many years is very damaging. Obviously it's something between you and your doctor, I'm just encouraging you to consider and get reasoning from your doctor about whether this approach is really best for your health.


It's a borderline kinda thing. He said if it was consistently in the 160s he would probably recommend them. My previous doctor was basically in the same camp but had me taking blood tests every 3 months for a year to see if it was stuck there.

Quant choice depends on your vram, use case, need for speed, etc. For coding I would not go below Q4_K_M (though for Q4, unsloth XL or ik_llama IQ quants are usually better at the same size). Preferably Q5 or even Q6.

Explain what about that statement is false. Your original Q4_K_XL quant was broken. People noticing that it was a total outlier among other quants is what prompted this "research". Your own data proves that your new release fixes the bugs of your original, in order to match AesSedai's PPL. Fixing bugs is great. Searching for the best quant mix is helpful. I use your quants and appreciate your work. But whitewashing this situation dilutes trust and good will.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.

Mozilla did plant the tree 20 years ago, then decided few years after to abandon it

They push millions of lines of code every year, thousands of patches and all kinds of measurable performance improvements so not sure what you're talking about.

the 2% marketshare. I'm talking about 2% marketshare that they got from being de-facto standard, to 2%

At their peak it was like 33% or thereabouts. The claim that they were "abandoned" suggests, well, that the browser was abandoned when it wasn't. It's a mischaracterization. Market share is about some combination of (1) software quality, (2) visibility and (3) distribution lock in. Chrome managed to be arguably better on (1) but it's due to (2) and (3) that it became dominant.

If (1) was all that mattered we would all be using the Preso engine version of Opera right now.


They literally abandoned the development for their toy projects until v57 (?) Quantum release. People left Firefox to chrome cos pages like google meetup and other things were not working at all. What are you saying?

Significant outdoor exposure is essentially the only relevant factor for preventing myopia. I would be interested in seeing any studies that showed any meaningful relevance of low light reading, while controlling for time spent outdoors.


Main factor is genetics.

I was gaming on a blurry CRT and reading on a dim light while hardly ever going outside during my teens and I only have light myopia on one eye.

I don't know if it has ever been studied, but I suspect eye socket morphology from my own family anecdata.

large eyes + small socket = squashed eyes.

It could be different genetic factors for different populations too.


I agree that genetics can protect you from developing myopia. For people who are genetically susceptible, outdoor exposure is critically important. Most people won't know which group their children are in.


Let's just say I knew soon enough for the ones that were in the myopic group.

It's not that I don't believe these studies or that I don't recommend children and even adults going outdoors and trying to watch something far away without glasses whatever their supposed genetics may be but I think it is nowhere close to a silver bullet.
