just now (309+ words) Before he was accused of sex trafficking of minors, disgraced billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein interacted with a long list of prominent figures " from now-President Donald Trump to former President Bill Clinton to economist and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers. That isn't to say that all the politicians, bankers and economists who knew Epstein were actually involved in his crimes in any way. Michael Cohen, Trump's former personal attorney and fixer and now a scathing critic of the president, told MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) that when he was working for the Trump Organization, he "never heard Jeffrey Epstein on the phone or even call into the office." But as pressure for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to release its Epstein files rages on, questions remain on who knew what and when.

1+ min ago (265+ words) Tired of your AI applications grinding to a halt under heavy load? Imagine trying to serve thousands of hungry customers from a single, overwhelmed food truck. That's what happens when your AI inference can't dynamically scale to meet demand. The core concept is to automatically adjust the computing resources allocated to AI inference based on real-time demand. We leverage a powerful combination: Kubernetes for container orchestration, Slurm for workload management on high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, and an optimized inference engine (like vLLM) to handle large language models (LLMs) with incredible speed. Think of it as having a fleet of food trucks that automatically appear and disappear based on the length of the line. When demand spikes, more trucks (compute resources) are deployed; when things quiet down, the extra trucks are put away, saving valuable resources. Benefits of Dynamic Inference Scaling: One…...
