I wrote a hybrid vector store from scratch in Go. Supports hybrid retrieval over BM25, Flat, HNSW, IVF, PQ and IVFPQ Index with Quantization, Pre-Filtering, Reranking, Reciprocal R…

Ohh good catch, I think I missed it. Thanks for the note :)

ohh boy, second this :D

You're right, string-based queries are very expressive. I intentionally avoided that here so readers could focus on how FTS indexes work internally. Adding a full query system woul…

> AIs have feelings too Ohh boi, that’s exactly how the movie "Her" started! XD

Got to admit, initial impressions, this is pretty neat, would spend sometime with this. Thanks for the link :)

tysm, would try pairing it with HNSW and IVF, halfway through :)

Ohh, I thought that inline comments would make it grokkable and be a low-friction way in. Seems this didn’t land the way I intended :' Should a multi-part blog would've been better…

tysm, i love this, FST is vv cool

> comment blocks inside codebase Is vibe-commented a thing yet? :D Wanted to give fellow readers a good on-ramp for understanding the FTS internals. Figured leaning into readabilit…

Claude: "You're absolutely right" :D

Yayiee, the “cant prove it” Doakes Dexter meme, making it to HN

On my way to make a Dexter meme on this When you think OP vibe-coded the project but can’t prove it yet https://x.com/FG_Artist/status/1974267168855392371

Bleve is an absolute beast! built with <3 at Couchbase Fun fact: the folks who maintain it sit right across from me at work

Observation is spot on. Biword matching would definitely ease this. Stealing bi-word matching for a future iteration, tysm :D

Mostly wanted a refresher on GPU accelerated indexes and Vector DB internals. And maybe along the way, build an easy on-ramp for folks who want to understand how these work under t…

Thanks! Honestly, given it's hacked together in a weekend not sure it’d measure up to Lucene/Bleve in any serious way. I intended this to be an easy on-ramp for folks who want to g…

I’m learning the internals of FTS engines while building a vector database from scratch. Needed a solid FTS index, so I built one myself :) It ended up being a clean, reusable comp…

Because running a three-account bot‑net farm is fun :D Okay, jk, please don’t mod me out. One’s for browsing HN at work, the other’s for home, and the third one has a username I'm …
