Adaptive Request Scheduling for CodeLLM Serving with SLA Guarantees
Code Large Language Models (CodeLLMs) are increasingly integrated into modern software development workflows, yet efficiently serving them in resource-constrained, self-hosted environments remains a significant challenge. Existing LLM serving systems employs Continuous Batching for throughput improvement. However, they rely on static batch size configurations that cannot adapt to fluctuating request rates or heterogeneous workloads, leading to frequent SLA (Service Level Agreement) violations a…

DefFusionNet: Learning Multimodal Goal Shapes for Deformable Object Manipulation via a Diffusion-based Probabilistic Model
Deformable object manipulation is critical to many real-world robotic applications, ranging from surgical robotics and soft material handling in manufacturing to household tasks like laundry folding. At the core of this important robotic field is shape servoing, a task focused on controlling deformable objects into desired shapes. The shape servoing formulation requires the specification of a goal shape. However, most prior works in shape servoing rely on impractical goal shape acquisition meth…

‘It is a gift. They stole it without my permission.’

Ranked choice voting (RCV)
is an increasingly popular electoral institution that has been posited by reformers and media outlets to produce transformative effects on electoral outcomes and representation.
This article finds no empirical support for the proposition that RCV changed fiscal outcomes or the ideological composition of city councils
— both on absolute terms and relative to mass opinion.
Furthermore, the roll-call based ideal points of legislators serving …

I will sit here.
And there.
And any.
And every where.
Destabilizing work site be d’m’d- I will devote myself to serving the American people.
By continuing my work on sorting out and prepping for extreme weather across the continental USA
Every single one of my colleagues is just as dedicated.
Why am I doing research ‘in exile’?
If it’s a test of my commitment to my mission: bring it.

How #Vietnam bets on serving the #Trump organization. Despicable, including land evictions—not particularly a thing the Vietnamese people fancy.

Video: Inside a Trump Family Project in Vietnam
As President Trump blurs the lines between politics and business — and threatens steep tariffs on trade partners — governments feel compelled to favor Trump-related projects. Damien Cave, Vietnam bureau chief for The New York Times, and Katrin Bennhold, a senior writer on the international desk, discuss how this dynamic has played out in Vietnam, at the groundbreaking of a fast-tracked $1.5 billion Trump golf complex.
