So should we somehow recover roughly $127,000 from the victims of each fire?
Of course not. I and my neighbors pay taxes to maintain the Fire Department and have it ready when needed. Many may argue that we pay too much, but those unfortunate enough to actually need its services would probably say they got a great deal.
I hadn't, but then 2.1.177 dropped in on auto-update and I assumed that was going to be the end of Fable for me, but I'm still on it. At least that's what the model picker is continuing to say along with the header.

Never mind, it failed a few minutes later with:
There's an issue with the selected model (claude-fable-5). It may not exist or you may not have access to it. Run /model to pick a different model.
Better atmosphere, temperature, and water in the above run could add another 1k, so it seems that the maximum is at least 13k, though I suspect it is higher.
Some of us graybeards use to use teletypes to talk to our computers. In one of the earlier races between differing I/O, the printer couldn't print as fast as the teletype was receiving data, so the teletype would send XOFF (Ctrl-S) to tell the remote end "Stop sending data and let me catch up" and would then send XON (Ctrl-Q) to say "I'm caught up, go back to sending data.
Many of us carried that to our VT100 terminals and used it when lines of code or output would flood the screen faster than we could read.
Eventually paginators like 'more' and 'less' were invented and flow control via the keyboard codes for XON/XOFF fell out of favor, but some of us have very strong muscle memory. :)
A fine answer, but my life experience is that it's not just "muscle memory," I am showing that xon and xoff still work inside both Terminal.app and iTerm2 (echo $TERM shows "xterm-256color") so maybe there's some legacy stuff configured in them or something, but I'm just saying that I struggle to think of who the audience is that would be running micro but not via a virtual terminal library that implements flow control
I'm terribly disappointed that this community of thoughtful, interesting bakers can't seem to effectively discuss the topic of whether or not beans belong in chili.
