Even in that article with much smaller vectors than what GPT puts out (1536 dimensions) QPS drops below 100 if recall@1 is more than 0.4. That's to say nothing of cost of regenerat…

A lot of people use some form of managed services if they are in the cloud. Be it S3 or Dynamo DB. Generally cheaper than running things yourself and operationally much easier too.…

What kind of QPS are you getting and how fast are incremental index updates? That's the hard part.

What kind of QPS are you looking at? How are you handling 1536 dimensions? How long does an incremental index update take? These are the problems you run into in building such a sy…

It seems weird to do this over a feature that is still in technical preview, we don't even know if this product will ever ship publicly. I'm guessing a public release is still year…

What does the many firings say about their ability to dissent and protest? I'm don't think your now unemployed colleagues would agree with that assessment. What is incredible about…

Yeah, Google would never shut down internal dissent: https://www.wired.com/story/google-shakes-up-its-tgif-and-en... https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/27/googles-thanksgiving-four-pr...…

In the last availability report they mentioned MySQL issues: https://github.blog/2021-02-02-github-availability-report-ja... Based off these reports most of their recent issues hav…

What specific issues are you having? What do you mean by "B-class players, who lead all sorts of C-, D- and all the way down to Z-class characters"? I assume in this ranking you ar…

Microsoft doesn't use a monorepo. Bloomberg, Dropbox, and Amazon don't either.

I'm a little surprised that there isn't a single "top" YC company in Seattle. Why is that? It seems like the city has talent and capital.

One Github issue is not sufficient to gain a understanding of what it would be like work with someone. Any blanks that are being filled in here are being done by yours and others b…

This is easily disprovable. See for example this post about being fired from the exact same company: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9158913 Despite the post having less detai…

At UBC CS a few years ago they made a switch in the opposite direction, from Java to Racket for their intro course. I think this was a very good decision because it allowed them to…

I see the biggest market for Kotlin being Android. It manages to provide features that Java will likely never have while still having a fairly small impact on run time, deploy, and…

I'm pretty sure UBC is pretty competitive, at least from a rankings perspective. It's just one of the few schools that has a cheap engineering program.

As a student in Vancouver this worries me. It think it's about time either the city or metro Vancouver started putting forward some absentee homeowner legislation. We have a lot of…

I'm assuming it's because hosting a video site is still a very costly venture and the fact that many content creators started on YouTube. Since the bulk of their views are on YouTu…

This reminds me a lot of Android App Inventor. The main difference is that app inventor is a bit more advanced programming wise.

Another product without linux support from Google. This is getting frustrating.
