📖 About Surah Al-Baqarah (Page 29)

Page 29 provides clarity on the boundaries of the fast, specifically the permission for intimacy during the nights of Ramadan and the timing for beginning and breaking the fast. The page also contains a stern prohibition against consuming the property of others through bribery or injustice. Finally, it shifts toward the principles of self-defense, commanding believers to fight only those who fight them and never to be the aggressors.

In June 2023, when Rajan Anandan, a venture capitalist and former CEO of Google India, posed the query about the possibility of building a similar OpenAI or ChatGPT, Sam Altman replied it was "Hopeless" and "Impossible". Cut to 2025, Deepseek happened, and today people run their own LLMs on modest hardware configurations. I can humbly attest that Deepseek R1 can run on modest desktops and desktops with GPUs such as GTX 970 to RTX 4070 Super. Why Run LLMs Locally? Data Privacy and Security : For some organizations, the sensitivity of the data they're working with necessitates keeping it on-premises. Local hosting reduces the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access since data remains within the organization’s control. Customization and Control : Running LLMs locally allows for greater control over model configuration and fine-tuning.

Meaning of Summa Ameen

Prophet said(something similar to) "a dua followed by Ameen is like placing a seal on it".

However, to get it working on Home Assistant (HA), isnt achieved without a bit of nerd-ish satisfaction to exercise and see the designing and realization of the design come to life. A bit of a background The Talking to Assist feature in home assist, "set a timer for 5 minutes" does start a timer, however you need some device connected to HA to let you know that the timer has completed. That was not what i was not very excited about, one more device to make it work, hmmm , not my stuff. To set the scope, the requirement needs to be defined clearly, hence the designing process was triggered. Requirement(s):  1, Start a timer with voice command for specified time ( hours, minutes and seconds ) 2. Play a ringing sound once the timer is done. 3. Stop the ringing sound on stop voice command. The Design : Part Starting Timer (Automation 1) The de...
