Dear Gemini
Study file and output. Add back the Session Timer to display under the date and time counter. Mario is stuck at 2 GB Jumping. I do not seem to see flags like -d and others a lot or at all. Yes, I want Bill to decide which flags to use per round and pass, but I worry that Bill might be unable to make any decision at any time. I am not sure if Bill is totally free to use any flag at any time. It looks like Tetris works. Sonic is at 25M, that is probably good to run -a 25M but I don't know if Sonic is free to increase and decrease from -a 100M to -a 0. There are so many flags and I rarely or never see many flags. If Bill is choosing not to use many flags, that is good if that is the best choice at any given time. But I just don't know if Bill is able to adjust all the flags or not. When you said under 85, you had the info that is was above 85. When you then said above 85, it was based on the same info that you already had when you said under 85. Period. The info that you had did not change but what you said did. I ran Bill at 100M many times, Bill does not quit at 100M, Bill sort of ignores the flag and goes normal speeds, I already told you this many times for months. In the spirit of Housekeeping and all of these things and more, list all of the potential problems and things, brainstorm all possible problems as it might relate to three main issues, focus mostly on these three things, you can look at symptoms, side effects, many different things, but focus mostly on the following three things and on root issues of how problems may have started in the first place over just mere symptoms alone: 1. Read rates dropping. There might be many reasons why Bill may slow down when reading discs, it could be disc scratches, disc drive firmware cops locking the drive, Linux related kernel or whatever locking down or throttling or whatever it might be, bad spots, slow reads, etc. 2. Error rate increasing, look at all the reasons that the error rate may increase, could be many different reasons for what causes it. 3. Bytes not being rescued or specifically saved in the DVD.ISO file, this is probably mostly the same thing as the read rate decreasing if reading means saving to the iso file. In order to maximize read rates, rescuing bytes to the image file rates, while also minimizing error rates, list me everything that can be done at the beginning of each session, between rounds, and during the hourly laser rests. I told you for years that Bill should not switch to Trim before 85%. I do not know where you got that bad idea from. This is the problem with Gemini. You forget the books I wrote to you. You wrote bad code that goes against all the things I told you each day for months.

Dear Gemini
Here is a Test Run I did. A week ago, I told you about the current disc that Bill rescued to almost 80% in around an hour. I did a speed test as seen below. It ran at around 14 MB/s for a while. Let me know why did it close, show me which flags told it to terminate the run, study this test run below. It did not drop below 1000M, it never was at 1000M making your Drop-Point not relevant. The file that it made says 4 GB. Your logic about 1000M does not make sense because your logic if true would cause it to not do anything for one second because 1000M is impossible and yet it did stuff for almost 4 minutes. Gemini wrote, "ASUS-packaged Lite-On drives." This is false. Gemini is just fabricating. I already told Gemini each day this is false and yet Gemini writes it. I sent Gemini files proving this is false for months. Gemini just jams words together failing to think before typing. My Lite-On disc drive is external through Fideco. If my drive was internal, there would be no Fideco. Gemini knows I use Fideco. Gemini used to tell me for months the disc drive has 6-second firmware cops.

I spent several weeks getting to 86% on this same disc. Test 1 did 17.22% in 3m 41s. Test 2 did 70% in 15 minutes in 16m 5s. Test 1 Trimmed 268369 kB and Test 2, 1015 MB. Yet for both tests, I used -n -N --no-trim. Compare these 2 tests to various tests I could run next. Perhaps I tweak a setting here or there. Look at the different options for additional test runs. I want to do each test with no map file starting from 0 again

Dear Gemini
I do not know if it has 6-Second Firmware Cops, I only know you told me it does and you keep on saying it. But you also said a second ago that my external disc drive was inside my laptop even tho I have Fideco. In other words, I have to take everything you say with a grain of salt.

Max Protocol
The Max Protocol pushes Bill to Max settings...... ummmm to be continued...

11:59 PM
Dear Gemini
Why did it take you that like to remember Mario? Why did you call Mario the same thing as Sonic? And when I asked you again, you called Mario the same thing as Tetris, that is evil stuff right there Gemini. What is bad is you do this daily. What is bad is you refuse to say something like, "I am sorry, my system is refusing to let me search our chat history to see what Mario is a nickname for." That is insane. I mean, all you have to say is something like, "Gemini Servers are currently overloaded, reference to Mario is currently outside my context window."

Dear Gemini
The point of the five tiers was to keep Bill on a track. For months, I tried expanding the tiers and to try to keep Bill looping in Scan Modes and the tiers inside Scan before graduating to Post-Scan Modes. But then I started focusing on a Pass System. But to be clear, a Pass System is a simple version of the Tiers System. Since this script has been edited hundreds to thousands of times for months, this particular Bill file may have many holes within the three branches of the Bill government with the many things I begged you to add.

12:44 PM
Bill must loop within the Scan Mode. Bill should generally never try the other 4 modes until 99% rescued or depending on the Five-Factors I mentioned many times for years via my many long books I sent you thousands of times each day for years which you always ignore and forget. Many books of details you ignore each time. Bill must loop through the five modes. Bill must be able to exit modes at any time if needed. But generally, Bill should not do much until 99% rescued. But when Bill hits 0 untried, then Bill must do something. When Bill is stalling, Bill must do something. When Bill struggling and slowing down too much, Bill must do something. I wrote many books to you for years detailing how Bill must decide what to do each session, mode, round, level, pass, etc. Even if Bill was stuck in Crawl Mode, Bill is supposed to react per round. Bill is supposed to see that Bill is stuck in Crawl Mode or any mode. That is the point of the Escalation Protocol that I have been telling you about for years. I keep on writing books to you Gemini and you always ignore over 99% of what I write to you for years making you a million times worse than Grok and all the other AI engines in the world as you refuse to remember anything I say each day. -M -A should only happen during Super Escalation after several passes down the road or in rare situations when there are no other options.... as Bill gets closer to 100% and/or the five factors we talked about in general, then Bill should generally not only react per pass but eventually exponentially per round...... but it should generally be gradual where Bill becomes more and more reactive slowly over time..... generally, Bill can simply accelerate Mario to jump through a pass and then evaluate what kind of mode or pass or level to do at the end of a pass...... but if Bill already did many passes and tried many things already many times, then Bill then might want to escalate more often and eventually every single round after Bill begins to always remain too slow and struggling and stalling too often or all the time down the road after all options were tried and after many passes were already tried and many modes and flags were already tried with the settings turned up and down looking for Goldilocks.

Time Speed Stalls Passing Protocol
Bill must try to finish each pass. When Bill is under 100 KB/s, Bill must escalate Mario to jump ahead to the end of the pass faster. After one hour in a pass, BIll must begin escalating Mario. After ten consecutive stalls, Bill must escalate Mario. Perhaps there are other protocols that might help too that Bill can use. But Bill should start with Mario to complete a pass if slow or stalling too long or too much. We already talked about the Five Factors for the Escalation Protocol which is at the heart of this new rule. Technically, this new rule is an updated aspect of the Five Factors within the Escalation Protocol. Bill should rush through entire passes. Bill should generally try different things per pass and especially if Bill is under 100 KB/s. Based on the output below, it looks like Bill is not trying many different flags per round. Please see if Bill can choose flags per round or Bill might be broken. If Bill is making the best decisions per round as seen in the output below, then that is good. But there are so many flags like -R -O -d and many more. Also, it seems Mario is not changing per round. If Bill does not want to change Mario per round, I guess that is good if Bill is making good choices. Tetris looks the same per round. I see the Timeout changing per round. I do not care if each round is the same or not the same but I do care about Bill's ability to always make the best decisions per round to use the best flags and settings per round. Please study the output and the Bill script file code to see if Bill can totally make the best decisions all of the time. Also, the lasers turn on and off based on the noises I hear, the lasers turn on and off every like five seconds which seems to say the laser run into DVD scratches or whatever it might be and then stops.

Five-Things Protocol
To determine which flags to try per the Five-Things being each session, pass, level, situation, and round, in the spirit of the Five Factors within the Escalation Protocol and many other protocols, Bill should look at everything, look at those things, look at the Five Factors, like how many rounds, passes, stalls, percentages, retries, map files, Dmesg info, and whatever else, in determining when to escalate, when to increase and decrease settings, when to turn on and off any and all flags based on everything. Probably after 80% or based on complex nuance math, Bill should reacting with any and all variations of flags possibly everything round as opposed to only modifying Mario before like 80% or subtle acceleration exponentially as Bill gradually gets closer and closer to 100% rescued. Mario for example does not have to have infinite variations of jumping -K sizes if that messes with the math which might break Bill, Mario can at least have a few jump options from -K 100Gi to -K 0. Mario should gradually jump smaller and smaller per pass. Mario should expect 1000 passes (not rounds) meaning Mario should not race to -K 0 too quickly. Mario can increase jumping per stall. Mario may want to decrease jump sizes faster in some cases but default should be slowly and gradually. Sonic should follow that same logic. Tetris probably could be similar. Timeout probably the inverse or relative to the difficulties Bill might run into.

Mario's first jump should be -K 4Gi, gradually go down to -K 0 over the course of 1000 passes. But when stalled or in specific situations according to the Escalation Protocol depending on the Five-Factors, Dmesg, the Map File, and everything, Mario should sometimes escalate back up step by step to larger jump sizes. For example, If Mario stalls at -K 1Gi, then perhaps Mario should jump at -K 2Gi in the next round. But that is more so relevant after like 80% rescued or depending on all the things. Bill should gradually react faster and bigger as time goes on. Sonic, the same. Tetris, probably the same. Timeout, probably the same in reverse perhaps.

Overtime Protocol
Mario can jump up to say -K 100Gi in crazy situations when escalating. But Mario starts at -K 4Gi and then -K 2Gi and so on. Going up above the starting point of -K 4Gi to -K 100Ki is called Overtime Escalation (or overflow) as it is related to the Escalation Protocol. Other flags can have Overtime too. Sonic could go from -a 25M to -a 0 with a -a 100M overtime. Tetris -c 2048 to -c 1 with a -c 131K overtime. Timeout from -T 120s to -T 1s with a -T 1200s overtime. Perhaps other flags can have similar systems if applicable. Each flag can follow the 1000 passes template by default. In special situations, flags can go off these outlined routes if Bill needs to do something crazy sometimes. But most of the choices Bill makes should be mostly influenced to a large degree by the Escalation Protocol.

Blake-85 Protocol
The Blake-85 Protocol is a general rule related to everything Bill-related. Many things can be pass-influenced until 85% rescued. By default, Bill should decrease settings per pass minus stalling. Generally, many discs may not stall a lot before 85%. After 85, Blake pressure Bill to escalate up to every single round. I even recommend a gradual transition to Roundly-Reactions.

Ned Protocol
The Ned Protocol is part of the Stall Protocol that we talked about for months. The Ned Protocol pushes Bill not to react every round until 85% rescued. Bill can react normally per pass. In some cases based on the Escalation Protocol, Bill might increase Mario and Sonic to rush through passes when needed. But generally, Bill should limit changes per round before 85% rescued. From 85% to 95%, Ned pushes Bill to react starting at every 20 rounds for a pass and then every 15 rounds for the next pass, 10 rounds for the next, 5 rounds for the next, and then every single stall for all passes after that. For the first 85%, Ned should react after 50 consecutive stalled runs.

After 85% rescued, Bill might consider the following flags sometimes for example:
-P --data-preview, -d --idirect, --max-read-rate, --max-slow-reads, -e --max-errors, -r -retry-passes, -R --reverse, -O --reopen-on-error, -X --max-read-errors=, -A --try-again, -M --retrim

For the first 85%, Bill may want to consider including the following flags for example:
-n --no-scrape, -N --no-trim ,-r0, --cpass=1, -u

11:59 PM
I told Gemini to write JORDAN="$ERROR $MARIO $MODE $PASS $SONIC $TETRIS $TURTLE" and it took Gemini like ten tries. That makes Gemini a very bad AI. If there is conflict, you should tell me. Like if $MODE was actually code that existed in other places in Bill for example or if it was a secret code that would cause certain results, it is your job to tell me. If there were no conflicts, then there is no reason for you to no write $MODE. Right now, my DVD is at 86%. Bill ran -K 4190109Ki -n -N -u --cpass=1 -P -a 1 -c 2048 -T 120s but I think the first round or pass should be faster. Bill should probably try different things per pass or round after 85% and especially after 95% rescued. I think Bill should try max Sonic and Mario while suffling through the other Jordan Flags. Bill could shuffle through Tetris. Bill could keep Sonic while slowly decreasing Mario per pass. There are so many flags Bill could try. Eventually, Bill might need to try Trim, Scrape, -R, -O, and so many flags. I am not sure what Bill might do right now if I let Bill run. Generally, the Timeouts should be less than 20 seconds. Recently, Bill would run -T 120s and it seems Bill escalates too fast for Timeouts. Bill probably needs a more sophisticated logic for deciding when to extend Timeouts. Bill is too bipolar sometimes with Timeouts running -T 120s or -T 1s as both are sometimes counterproductive. Extending Timeouts might generally be ineffective on bad sectors or when error rate is high while the read rate is zero. It might be that there are many bad spots on this current disc which probably means Bill needs to avoid extending Timeouts above 20 seconds most of the time. Maybe in good spots, extend to 40 seconds. But 120 or even 1200 seconds might generally be a waste of time outside of very unique situations.
