Rain (SWV song)

"Rain" is a 1997 single released by the group SWV. The musical backing track is based on Jaco Pastorius's "Portrait of Tracy." First heard on the group's third album Release Some Tension, the song was released as the fourth and final single from the album. It peaked at number 25 on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and number 7 on the US Hot R&B Singles chart. Singer Tyrese appeared in the song's music video. He would later sing the hook on rapper Chingy's hit song "Pullin' Me Back", which samples the SWV song featuring the trio's original labelmate Tyrese.

gollark: Well, it doesn't look like you ever actually move the `roberta-large-mnli` model to your GPU, but I think the Sentence Transformers one is slow because you're using it wrong.
gollark: For the sentence_transformers one, are you precomputing the embeddings for the example sentences *then* just cosine-similaritying them against the new sentence? Because if not that's probably a very large bottleneck.
gollark: sentence_transformers says you should be able to do several thousand sentences a second on a V100, which I'm pretty sure is worse than your GPU. Are you actually running it on the GPU?

gollark: Hmm, apparently the "Oculus" products are now "Meta" products, because of course.
