I paid for my own degree and my own loans. And I'm proud to pay a bit more to help a doctor practice medicine somewhere. College in America is unaffordable. Student loans never should have replaced taxpayers funding college education.

I have never witnessed a more extreme degree of unearned privilege than the way Americans allowed Trump to break our laws, betray them, & commit treason with impunity. Every time without exception, his supporters try to find a reason not only to allow it, but to revere it.

Both state and DHS officials committed severe crimes and need to be prosecuted. These migrants are people just like you and me. They deserve justice. Criminal Division

It's Election Day in the USA. Go vote like your freedom depends on it--it actually does. We have so many more candidates than usual on the ballot who would like to end democracy and allow a fascist takeover. Don't worry if you… androiddev.social/@colintheshots…

Why does GitHub erase rel="me" from all links, thereby ensuring you cannot verify your #GitHub on #mastodon unless you make it your only website link?

LLMs use fixed strategies for all questions. This is inefficient due to varying layer sensitivity to quantization. This paper introduces Entropy-Weighted Quantization (EWQ) for selective compression based on layer entropy. 📌 Entropy-Weighted Quantization uses layer entropy to

We just hit 94% accuracy on RobustQA, beating industry standards. Traditional RAG chunks perfectly sized documents into small pieces, destroying context. We preserve complete documents instead. Better accuracy, complete context, more efficient storage.
