Anyone who has practiced Yoga has felt the joy and peace that can come from the discipline, yet as any passionate Yoga Instructor will tell you, the yoga is not complete without the spiritual and ethical disciplines to guide you.

Considerando lo stato delle cose, oggi come all’epoca del Buddha, viene spontanea una domanda: esiste qualcosa, potente come un diamante, in grado di recidere ogni illusione? Qualcosa che ci liberi dall’abituale meccanismo di inibizione che impedisce di partecipare alla fluida armonia della vita? Il discorso del Buddha, tramandato nei secoli come “Il sutra del diamante” sembra contenere questa potenzialità.

You'll discover the essential 50 points about riding a bike. This book will help you to expand your knowledge about riding a bike safely, smoothly, and effectively.

Ayurvedic is more than a diet, it's a complete medical system for healing the body. From weight loss to mental focus and emotional stability, Ayurvedic is an eating plan determined by body type. Rules such as savoring meals, eating when hungry and being careful when combing foods is sage wisdom whether you're dieting or not. But Ayurvedic takes it a step further. By adding tastes to our diets, we can drastically improve our health.

Anita Anand tells the remarkable story of one Indian's 20-year quest for revenge, taking him around the world in search of those he held responsible for the Amritsar massacre of 1919, which cost the lives of hundreds. When Sir Michael O'Dwyer, the lieutenant governor of Punjab, ordered brigadier general Reginald Dyer to Amritsar, he wanted him to bring the troublesome city to heel. Sir Michael had become increasingly alarmed at the effect Gandhi was having on his province as well as recent demonstrations, strikes and shows of Hindu-Muslim unity.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on its implementation using the C++ programming language. The text covers fundamental concepts, techniques, and practical applications of generative models, such as Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). The sources also explain how to build neural networks, train deep learning models, and perform tasks related to natural language processing (NLP), such as text preprocessing and word embeddings.

The lifeblood of any free society is persuasion: changing other people's minds to enable real change. But America is suffering a crisis of faith in persuasion that is putting its democracy and the planet itself at risk. People increasingly write each other off instead of seeking to win each other over. In The Persuaders best-selling author Anand Giridharadas takes us inside these movements and battles, seeking out the dissenters who continue to champion persuasion in an age of polarisation.

Concepts like the evolution of language models, neural network architectures, and transformer mechanisms. It also explores popular LLMs like GPT-3 and BERT, delves into the intricacies of training LLMs, and discusses advanced techniques like prompt engineering, few-shot learning, and multimodal capabilities. The text concludes with practical applications across various industries, real-world implementations, and future trends for LLMs.

Overview of how to understand, train, and deploy large language models (LLMs), powerful AI systems capable of processing and generating human-like text. The guide begins by defining LLMs and their key concepts, then covers setting up an environment, collecting and preparing training data, selecting appropriate LLM architectures, and training the model itself. Further chapters explore how to fine-tune pre-trained LLMs for specific tasks, deploy these models for real-world applications, and evaluate their performance using various metrics

The ISO/IEC 23894:2023 standard is a guide for organizations to manage the risks associated with artificial intelligence systems. The standard provides a framework for identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks throughout the AI system lifecycle. It covers a wide range of topics, including data quality, algorithmic transparency, bias mitigation, ethical oversight, adversarial resilience, and governance

Do you often feel stressed, overwhelmed, or anxious? Would you like to increase your well-being and happiness? If so, then Buddhism could be the answer. Even if you’ve tried meditation or mindfulness before only to find you just cannot do it. In fact, it’s easier than you think. The Department of Psychology at California University has concluded that Buddhism is a powerful way to deal with life events. Research over the past two decades broadly supports the claim that Buddhism practiced widely exerts beneficial effects on physical and mental health.

The story of the Tiger and the Strawberry has been told over and over by many Buddhists and Hindus. However, it doesn't mean what most think it does. Hint: It has nothing to do with enjoying the present moment, or any such Eckhart Tolle style pop-culture-isms - learn the real lesson and meaning behind this amazing story.

In his first nonfiction work, Anand Neelakantan, the national best-selling author of Asura: Tale of the Vanquished, explores a contrarian way of living that makes more sense in this Kali Yuga.

Baali and Sugreeva of the Vana Nara tribe were orphan brothers who were born in abject poverty and grew up as slaves like most of their fellow tribesmen. They were often mocked as the vanaras, the monkey men. Sandwiched between the never-ending war between the Deva tribes in the north and the Asura tribes in the south, the Vana Naras seemed to have lost all hope. But Baali was determined not to die a slave. Aided by his beloved brother, Sugreeva, Baali built a country for his people.
