How does genocide happen in 2025? Because of toadies like Keir Starmer.
He should be sitting at The Hague alongside Netanyahu, Trump, Friedrich Merz, and everyone else who is complicit in the ongoing Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people.

AR-TMT: Investigating the Impact of Distraction Types on Attention and Behavior in AR-based Trail Making Test
Despite the growing use of AR in safety-critical domains, the field lacks a systematic understanding of how different types of distraction affect user behavior in AR environments. To address this gap, we present AR-TMT, an AR adaptation of the Trail Making Test that spatially renders targets for sequential selection on the Magic Leap 2. We implemented distractions in three categories: top-down, bottom-up, and spatial distraction based on Wolfe's Guided Search model, and captured performance, ga…

Quantization Meets dLLMs: A Systematic Study of Post-training Quantization for Diffusion LLMs
Recent advances in diffusion large language models (dLLMs) have introduced a promising alternative to autoregressive (AR) LLMs for natural language generation tasks, leveraging full attention and denoising-based decoding strategies. However, the deployment of these models on edge devices remains challenging due to their massive parameter scale and high resource demands. While post-training quantization (PTQ) has emerged as a widely adopted technique for compressing AR LLMs, its applicability to…
