What I want to know from the text: Can words "bad at its lowest" refer to the worst possible manifestation of something negative, reaching the deepest depths of negativity (badness/evil) of particular context, or does it automatically mean zero badness?
Here is the text I need explanation on:
The Hindu mind felt that Krishna was a perfect incarnation of the divine, that even Rama was not perfect. Rama leaned a bit more toward goodness, the balance was not perfect. He was more good than bad, so he was not balanced. It was well disciplined but not balanced. The balance could only come with the dark aspect. Krishna's personality was completely balanced, both sides of the scale were in equilibrium.
Those who saw the divine in Krishna saw him wielding his weapon n the battlefield as something mysterious, they saw the leela, the divine play. And if Krishna had not used his weapon, then the devotees who loved him, would never have been able to call him a purna avatar, he could only be called that way because of the fact that he was whole, he so complete. He contained both aspects; he was not incomplete, he was not imperfect.
In him the good was at its highest, and the bad was at its lowest, and both were there simultaneously. He was balanced.
Another quote on Krishna from the same author: Krishna can be as good as Mahavira/Buddha are but in another light, he can be as bad as Genghis is.
Can you explain to me in what way the author presented this balance of opposites inside human nature, with the words >good at its highest, bad at its lowest< ?

I’m (22f) 5’6 and have been between 200 and 206 for the last 2, 3 weeks while on a calorie deficit. Before that I lost a steady amount, my initial weight was 220. I have no idea why I’m not losing (and even gaining) since I’m tracking strictly and eating a lot of frozen meals, which aren’t the healthiest I know but I like them because of the easy to log calorie counts. I also do high intensity walk/ run intervals for like half an hour each day too (trying to build up to run a 5k, making great progress!)
I’m going to include an example of my food logs from yesterday, if anyone can tell me where I may be going wrong here I’d appreciate it! I know this isn’t healthy food btw, I’m just trying to get my calories nailed down starting out and then will make healthier food choices going forward (if I do too much at once it’s hard to stick to it). Also I have a food scale I use too so counts should be accurate. Thanks!
Calorie goal: 1380, food: 1289, exercise calories burned: 260.
Breakfast/ lunch: 740. (Cantina chicken bowl from Taco Bell, one Cinnabon delight, naval orange)
Dinner: 430 (red baron single serve mini pizza)
Snacks: 119 (100g blackberries and 1.5 cups of skinny pop popcorn)
(Don’t usually skip breakfast or eat out, but it was a late morning lol)
Also, I forgot to include this but I drink a LOT of coffee with sweet n low or Splenda. Should be zero calorie but maybe this is a contributing factor?

Maybe I’m over analyzing this but hear me out
Why you trollin’ like a bitch? ain’t you tired? / tryna strike a cord and it’s probably A-Minor
Firstly, the literal, Drake hitting the A-Minor note, also eluding to the fact that Drake is one note and has no depth
Second, strike, a minor, eluding to Drake being a pedophile
Third , trollin’ like a bitch and striking a cord, eluding to Drake doing or saying anything to Kendrick to illicit an angry emotional response.
Fourth, striking a cord (accord n. Official agreement or treaty) a minor. This eluding to Drake grooming underage girls and making an agreement with them either for sex when they’re of age or silence for what’s already occurred
Fifth, from a podcast I randomly saw, A-Minor is the only scale that is all white keys essentially calling Drake a white boy
Maybe it’s a stretch? Maybe I’m missing something as well?

Benefits of Using AI for Personalized Content Recommendation

In this article, we'll explore the benefits of using AI for personalized content recommendation and how it can positively impact businesses and consumers alike.

Introduction

Personalized content recommendation refers to the practice of delivering content to users based on their preferences, behaviors, and past interactions. By leveraging AI algorithms, businesses can analyze vast amounts of data to understand user preferences and deliver relevant content recommendations in real-time.

Understanding Personalized Content Recommendation

Before diving into the benefits of AI-powered personalized content recommendation, it's essential to understand how it works. AI algorithms analyze various data points, including user demographics, browsing history, and engagement patterns, to generate personalized recommendations. These recommendations can include articles, videos, products, or services tailored to each user's interests and preferences.

Enhanced User Experience

One of the primary benefits of AI-powered personalized content recommendation is the enhanced user experience it provides. By delivering relevant content recommendations, businesses can ensure that users find value in their interactions with the platform, leading to increased satisfaction and loyalty.

Increased Engagement

Personalized content recommendation can significantly increase user engagement by delivering content that resonates with each individual user. When users encounter relevant and compelling content, they are more likely to spend time on the platform, explore additional content, and interact with the brand.

Improved Customer Retention

By providing personalized recommendations tailored to each user's interests and preferences, businesses can improve customer retention rates. When users feel understood and valued, they are more likely to return to the platform regularly, increasing customer lifetime value and reducing churn.

Enhanced Targeted Marketing

AI-powered personalized content recommendation enables businesses to deliver targeted marketing messages to specific audience segments. By analyzing user data and behavior patterns, businesses can identify opportunities to cross-sell or upsell products and services, resulting in higher conversion rates and revenue.

Time and Cost Efficiency

Automating the content recommendation process with AI algorithms can save businesses time and resources. Instead of manually curating content for each user, AI can analyze data at scale and deliver personalized recommendations in real-time, freeing up valuable resources for other tasks.

Data-Driven Insights

AI-powered personalized content recommendation generates valuable insights into user behavior, preferences, and trends. By analyzing user interactions with recommended content, businesses can gain a deeper understanding of their audience and refine their content strategy accordingly.

Personalized Recommendations Across Platforms

AI algorithms can deliver personalized content recommendations across various platforms and devices, ensuring a seamless user experience. Whether users are accessing content on a website, mobile app, or social media platform, they can receive relevant recommendations tailored to their interests.

Challenges and Considerations

While AI-powered personalized content recommendation offers numerous benefits, it also comes with its challenges and considerations.

Privacy Concerns

Privacy concerns are a significant consideration when implementing AI-powered personalized content recommendation. Businesses must ensure that they are transparent about how they collect, store, and use user data and comply with relevant privacy regulations.

Data Security

Data security is another critical consideration, as businesses must protect user data from unauthorized access or breaches. Implementing robust security measures and encryption protocols can help safeguard sensitive user information.

Overreliance on Algorithms

While AI algorithms can generate personalized content recommendations, businesses must be cautious not to over-rely on them. Human oversight and intervention are essential to ensure that recommendations are accurate, relevant, and ethical.

Conclusion

In conclusion, AI-powered personalized content recommendation offers numerous benefits for businesses and consumers alike. By leveraging AI algorithms to deliver tailored content recommendations, businesses can enhance user experience, increase engagement, improve customer retention, and drive revenue. However, it's essential to consider the challenges and considerations associated with AI-powered recommendation systems, such as privacy concerns, data security, and the risk of overreliance on algorithms.

Hello, welcome to the Brazilian Classics Rate! This rate covers five albums released between the years 1968 and 1974, exploring the likes of Tropicália, MPB, Samba, and more. We are excited to enjoy this music with both long time fans, and also welcome newcomers to experience these all-time favorites for the first time.
Note: I am not Brazilian and am not a Portuguese writer / speaker. My apologies if anything is lost in translation through this process.
Hold on: What’s a rate?
About once a month, this subreddit holds games called “rates” where a host selects a collection of songs and people score each song on a scale of 1-10 (with a single 11 & a 0 available as well). Ballots of these scores are submitted, and then over “reveal” weekend, the host takes the averages of the songs and eliminates them from worst to best, giving one song out of all the albums the top spot, the crown, & bragging rights forever.
Our sister subreddit popheads has a Guide to Rates Video that can give you a broad overview of rates (please note our reveal process is thread-based instead of video chatrooms). And here's recent examples of a rate announcement and a rate reveal.
BALLOT Due Date - June 21st, 2024

In 1968 Os Mutantes released their debut album, were featured on the Tropicália Ou Panis Et Circenses compilation, and performed as the backing band for Gilberto Gil's self-titled second album. The Tropicália movement embraced taking international ideas and re-interpreting them, combining them to create something Brazilian. Os Mutantes will likely be a favorite for those who love psychedelic rock.

Gal Costa - Gal Costa (1969)
Another featured artist from the Tropicália Ou Panis Et Circenses compilation, Gal Costa released her debut album in 1967, and her follow-up self titled album in 1969. Gal Costa was close friends with both Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso as well as their spouses, and Gal Costa's bossa nova debut Domingo was a close collaboration with Veloso. By the release of Gal Costa we hear more of the impact of Tropicália and psychedelia on her sound. This self titled album features more songs from writers besides Veloso, including songs written by Gilberto Gil, Rosil Cavalcanti, Tom Zé, Roberto Carlos, Erasmo Carlos, Jorge Ben, and Torquato Neto.

Clube Da Esquina - Clube Da Esquina (1972)
The Clube Da Esquina name (Corner Club) refers to a corner of the street where Lô Borges used to live, and Borges and Milton Nascimento played for fun in the 1960s.
“I hope our young people don’t allow themselves to be swept up in this dictatorship business, because they don’t understand what it was like,” said [Milton Nascimento] who was stalked by agents from the notorious department of political and social order as his career took off in the 1960s. “Whenever we were going to release a song we had to send it to them for them to censor.” Eventually, Nascimento’s manager rented an isolated beach house where the musicians were free to compose the record of their lives. “It was wonderful … just us and the waves rolling up to our front door,” said Borges. “We weren’t thinking about selling millions of records or being the next big summer hit. We just wanted to make art.” Nascimento smiled as he recalled how that legendary album was conceived half a century ago, far from the prying eyes of the dictatorship. “It was a record made just by friends … We’d spend all day composing, from the moment we awoke with the fishermen bringing in their nets to the moment we went to bed.”
The cover of the album features a picture of two boys playing in rural Rio de Janeiro by the photographer Carlos da Silva Assunção Filho (also known as Cafi).

Novos Baianos - Acabou Chorare (1972)
By popular demand, Novos Baianos has been added to the rate mix! As suggested by their name, Novos Baianos were founded in the state of Bahia in 1969. During the making of Acabou Chorare, they were mentored by the "Father of Bossa Nova", João Gilberto. The album's title (translated as No More Crying) also came from a story about Gilberto's daughter.
Note: the album has two versions of Preta Pretinha, track 2 which is the full version and track 10 which seems to have been a radio edit. We are only rating the full version of the song.

1. Brasil Pandeiro
2. Preta Pretinha

Jorge Ben Jor - A Tábua de Esmeralda (1974)
"I’m not in any movement, no. I think movements adopted me."
Jorge Ben Jor is the first recorded artist of the five here, but A Tábua De Esmeralda is chronologically our latest recorded album of the rate. This one is arguably a concept album; influenced by the Hermetic text "The Emerald Tablet" as well as Jorge's interest in alchemy, and features songs focused on Afro-Brazilian identity such as "Zumbi".

Rules - PLEASE READ ALL OF THESE BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR SCORES
Listen to each song and assign each a score between 1 and 10. Decimals are fine, but please refrain from giving decimal scores with more than 1 spot. This is because I'm using a computer program to parse the votes and print everything out (more on that later).
You have to listen to and score every song in the main rate. Otherwise, I will not accept your ballot as it will crash the program (more on that later).
Your scores should NOT be considered confidential as they aren’t. Feel free to shitpost about them in the general discussion threads whenever you feel like it - users over at popheads usually just talk about their averages of the albums and what 11 and 0 they gave (which I will explain on the next bullet point!)
You may give ONE song a 0 and ONE song an 11 in the main rate. Please reserve these for your least favorite and most favorite tracks; excessive sabotage ruins rate results and generally makes things less fun.
You can change your scores at any time! Feel free to PM me at any point after submission before the deadline and I'll be happy to revise them for you.
I am using a computer program that fellow rater letsallpoo designed in order to parse these votes! While this will make things a lot more efficient and reduces errors on my part, this does mean that scores need to be sent in a very specific way. The easiest way to make sure your scores follow the necessary format is to use the pre-prepared link at the top & bottom of this post. PLEASE USE THAT. You can copy and paste it to a notepad file or something and fill in your scores there, but PLEASE use that format to send in your scores.
DO NOT SABOTAGE the rate by giving outrageously low/high scores for the sole purpose of skewing the results, we reserve the right to exclude any ballot we suspect of this. If you're worried your scores could be mistakenly perceived as such, all you need to do is leave comments explaining the reasoning behind them.
Did a lot of copy and pasting here (including the following list of users), so thank you to all the raters of old: vapourlomo; roseisonlineagain; DolphLundgrensArms; R_E_S_I_G_N_E_D; stansymash; ClocktowerMaria; aerocom; themilkeyedmender; greencaptain; Crankeedoo; dirdbub; ThatParanoidPenguin; tedcruzcontrol; kappyko; FuckUpSomeCommasYeah; LazyDayLullaby; SRTViper; Whatsanillinois; NFLFreak98; freav; freeofblasphemy; kvothetyron, RatesNorman; aPenumbra; idontreallycare4; p-u-n-k_girl; luigijon3; WaneLietoc; dream_fighter2018; darjeelingdarkroast; smuckles; PiperIBarelyKnowHer; welcome2thejam; imrlynotonreddit; kvothetyrion; thedoctordances1940; b_o_g_o (of the BogoLomo Rate Collective); MCK_OH; TiltControls; u/chug-a-lug-donna; u/TakeOnMeByA-ha; u/indie_fan_; u/bilbodabag, zenits, saison_Marguerite, and tons of people on popheads.

You may also and are generally encouraged to leave comments with your scores!

I am not sure if I want to solve this issue actually, I just want to vent.
iX, what do you think yourself when you print out this error message to a "customer"?
I mean your installation of Kubernetes on a single host is crap and using helm charts that utterly break in an atomic chain reaction that way doesnt make it trustworthy. I am on the way to migrate nextcloud away again from TrueNAS to a docker host and just use TrueNAS as storage.
I dont care about sensible data down there, at the time of posting, this system isnt running anymore. Sorry if I annoy somebody.

I am considering building a local, physical GPU workstation due to high expenses of cloud. I did the math - a local cluster is going to cost me about a third that of a similar hardware setup in AWS. So I was wondering, if I deploy a LLM inference service in such a workstation, how many concurrent API requests can it handle (or how many concurrent users can it serve, in business terms) before it starts to throttle?
I came up with this formula, but I'm not sure if I've considered all the variables in the equation. So I'm posting it here for feedback.
Variables:

1. G - Number of GPUs in the cluster.
2. M - Memory per GPU (in GB).
3. m - Memory required per model instance (in GB), including parameters, activations, and temporary data needed during computation.
4. B - Batch size, which is the number of requests processed simultaneously by one model instance.
5. T - Time it takes for one batch to be processed (latency, in seconds).
6. C - Compute efficiency factor (ranges between 0 and 1, where 1 means 100% efficient use of GPU resources).

Considerations:

• Model Instances per GPU (I): This is determined by how many separate instances of the model can fit into a single GPU's memory. It's the ratio of the total GPU memory to the memory required for one model instance: I=M/m
• Total Model Instances in the Cluster (I_total): Total instances across all GPUs: I_total=G×I
• Throughput per Model Instance (Θ): The number of batches one model instance can process per second: Θ=1/T
• Total Throughput (Θ_total​): Considering all model instances and their ability to process requests: Θ_total = I_total×Θ×C
• Estimated Number of Concurrent API Requests (R): Finally, the total number of concurrent API requests the cluster can handle, assuming each batch fully utilizes its batch size capacity: R=Θ_total×B

So the final formula is:
R = (G × M/m × 1/T × C) × B
Explanation:

• R gives you the number of concurrent API requests, estimating how many requests your system can theoretically handle at once, considering it's running at optimal batch processing efficiency.
• G×M/m calculates the total number of model instances that can run across all GPUs.
• 1/T provides the rate at which each instance can process batches.
• C adjusts for less than perfect compute utilization, such as due to overhead or non-ideal parallelism.
• B scales the throughput by the number of requests that can be packed into each batch.

Do you reckon the formula looks ok? If so, here is what a sample estimation for running a full unquantized 70B LLM on a cluster of 8 x H100 GPUs would look like:
Variables and assumptions:

1. G (Number of GPUs) = 8
2. M (Memory per GPU) = 80 GB
3. m (Memory required per model instance) = 200 GB (rough estimate including model size, activation memory and miscellaneous memory requirements)
4. B (Batch size): Common batch sizes for inference are relatively small to meet latency requirements. We'll assume B = 4.
5. T (Time for one batch to process): This can vary widely, but let's conservatively estimate T = 0.2 seconds per batch.
6. C (Compute efficiency factor): This accounts for overheads and inefficiencies. We'll assume C = 0.8 for high but not perfect efficiency.

This would give us:
R = (8 x 80/200 x 1/0.2 x 0.8) x 4 R = 51.2 concurrent API requests
Does this look correct?
\*P.S.*\** I realise that I did not include a variable in the formula for the number of tokens in an API request, which surely must affect the throughput of the system inversely. I'm not sure how the token size of a request increases the processing time, but let's assume a linear relationship - doubling the number of tokens in either the question to the LLM or the response from a LLM doubles the processing time. Then, the throughput of the system will be inversely proportional to the ratio of the token size of user requests to the average token size of requests, right? So let's create these 2 variables:
N_base - the average token size of LLM requests (including both the question and response)
N_t - the number of tokens in the user request (including both the question and response)
Then the formula for R should be multiplied by N_base / N_t :
R = G × M/m × 1/T × C × B x N_base / N_t
So, if that's correct, let's assume a value of 200 tokens for N_base and 500 tokens for N_t, and the throughput of the system for running inference on the 70B LLM would be:
R = 51.2 x 200/500
R = 20.5 concurrent API requests
I'm not sure what a good estimate for N_base should be. But does this calculation look ok, roughly?

I recently saw different people scale Insomniac Spider-Man to Massively Hypersonic+ speeds, but I personally think this is wrong and not true.
Let me allow to explain my reasons:
•Now the Massively Hypersonic+ scale mainly came from Electro, particularly by this statement that claim that Max is capable of shoot lighting blasts and since Peter is capable of dodge them he's MHS+ too.
•But Insomniac Electro's, unlike his comic counterpart, hasn't demonstrated that his blast are real/cloud to ground lighting, so I retain that Electro's attacks are electricity blasts, which are Hypersonic to Hypersonic+ in terms of speeds. To support this we saw during the battle against Sandman, in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Peter being hitted by two real lighting.
•Also during the comic run Marvel's Spider-Man: Velocity, Spider-Man had serious problems with a speedster girl, like he couldn't even see/perceives her, this is more clear in this scene.
•The speed difference was so big that Peter needed to be a specific suit to keep up with her, the Velocity Suit. But during their first battle the suit still wasn't fast enough to keep up with her, and Peter to actually keep up with her as seen later needed to upgrade the suit, only after this upgrade he was effectively capable to keep pace with Haley, the name of the girl.
Note: For reference during the first battle Haley wasn't even at his peak, since Peter and MJ trapped her in a storage for different hours so as to make her tired and slow down her
•But why am I talking about the Velocity storyline? Well basically the suit that Peter built to keep up with this girl goes to a million miles per hours, which is roughly Mach 1300, logically if Peter was a lighting timer he wouldn't have any problem to keep up with this girl since lighting have a speed of 440000 m/s or roughly Mach 1282.

Null Knives Voodoo with acidwashed M390 blade. She's currently wearing toxic storm carbon fiber scales, but comes with the originally mounted blue micarta ones. There are a few snail trails on the titanium bolsters and a few marks on the clip. I am at least the third owner, but the knife is in nice shape (acid wash helps hide any wear) and I have not carried or cut with it. Nice action, though it's not quite drop shutty.

• Factory edge; centered;
• Multiple owners, at least some disassembly for new scales
• Comes with box, COA, stickers, extra scales

Pics - SV - 300
Wehr Knives Allie-P with M390 blade and titanium scales- Second owner though neither the first owner nor I have carried it. I opened a letter or two. Nice little knife though it has a very strong detent. I have some difficulty reverse flicking it open.

• Factory edge; centered;
• 2nd owner, never disassembled
• Comes with box, pouch, COA, stickers

My husband works on N-scale railroad models. For years he has talked about a jeweler's apron that attaches to a table. I have not found anything like this on the internet. It's possible he is confused about an image he saw decades ago, such as a jeweler sitting at a bench that had a catch. All the same, this apron sounds very handy, and he has a birthday coming up. Sure would be nice to be the one giving a cool surprise gift.
Reddit, does an apron exist that attaches to tables?

What N scale projects are you working on?
