Most, if not all top results uploaded in the last 3 months, are AI generated. Not sure if there's a way to restrict searches to older, pre-AI content.

Belief in "the science" akin to religious faith, is counter to the scientific method.
Good science happens when the best scientist is wrong.

30B fp16 takes ~500 ms/token on M2 Max 96GB. Interestingly, that's the same performance as 65B q4 quantized.
65B fp16 is ungodly slow, ~300,000 ms/token on the same machine.

DRF (https://www.django-rest-framework.org/) provides a lot of functionality out of the box for REST views.
In addition, DRF braces (https://django-rest-framework-braces.readthedocs.io/en/lates...) helps share form and serializer objects reducing a lot of duplicate effort.

While the risk of nutritional deficiencies when tracking 1200 calories/day is higher, it's possible to make choices with whole foods that are satiating and satisfy daily micro-nutrient requirements despite low calorie intake.
For instance, for a 1500 cal/day diet, the following mealplan is quite a bit of food:

That's a great list! decouple (https://pypi.org/project/python-decouple/) is a useful alternative for managing secrets. It converts values to the correct data type which is nice.
Another detail that matters deciding VPS vs PaaS - batch job processing. Heroku dynos restart once every 24 hours, longer jobs can't be scheduled.

Cool site, the sliders are super intuitive for exploration.
I was pleasantly surprised to see Cauliflower rank high in Choline, it's more readily available from animal sources. Do the portion sizes differ for each item? Eggs have 7.6x times Choline from Cauliflower per 100g based on USDA data:

Calcium can inhibit iron absorption. If your multi-vitamin has calcium, it likely won't have iron.

Besides Iron and Zinc - keep an eye on daily intake for Magnesium, Potassium and Calcium. I wasn't happy with the increasing number of supplements in my diet, so I set out to hit daily RDIs on macro and micro-nutrients without any supplements. See the evolution of my meal planner tech stack here: https://www.umangsh.com/blog/the-right-tool-for-the-job/
Most repeated food suggestions by the planner:
1. Almonds (Vitamin E), Chia, Pumpkin seeds are micro-nutrient dense.
2. Liver is nature's multivitamin, Chicken/Beef/Turkey liver all good choices (Vitamin A, Iron, Zinc).
3. Eat your greens - mix and match Arugula, Spinach, Kale, Collards, Chard, etc (Magnesium, Potassium).

> You also get to see what foods have what, it’s interesting. Like how one little prickly pear has 200% of your vitamin E needs.
Do you have a source for this (USDA FDC data and google-fu don't concur)? I'd love to have alternate options for Vit E besides almonds :). It's a fat soluble vitamin, available from nuts and nut oils - vegetable sources are harder to find.

Besides Magnesium, Vit D and Zinc, Potassium and Calcium are other micro-nutrients that affected general well-being for me. Both have relatively high daily RDIs (Potassium - 4700mg/day, and Calcium - 1300mg/day for adults) which can be difficult to hit without supplements, unless your diet includes servings of vegetables and dairy.
