There's the Khadas Mind series of mini pcs. They have a proprietary docking interface though. Agree that it would be great if this form-factor was more common.

The weight and reinforcement of trees, poles, deer, etc. are difficult to change. Single-vehicle crashes cause more than half the crash deaths in the US[1]. I don't think the safet…

It's not mentioned in the original paper, but DiskANN also supports PQ at build-time via `--build_PQ_bytes`, though it's a tradeoff with the graph quality as you mention. One inter…

I think you might be right that encouraging curious discussion of these topics is important to the mission of HN. However, if the moderation approach is going to change, I think it…

Something I don't fully understand, from [1], Altman was an employee of the for-profit entity. So to fire him, wouldn't the non-profit board be acting in it's capacity as a directo…

Altman has claimed before that he doesn't hold equity in OpenAI. He could have some kind of more opaque arrangement that gives him a material stake in the financial success of Open…

There are a lot of directions people try to go, making different tradeoffs in the complexity of the clustering, the loss from the quantization, the impact on performance (esp. tryi…

Apart from the comments you've already gotten, another goal of geospatial systems is to support range queries (e.g. for the bounding box of the user's screen, what are all the busi…

> Let's put deep learning aside for a second. Can anyone here name a single academic in any other subfield of computer science who had a string of groundbreaking research works whe…

Part of the difficulty is, if very few people are browsing to page 2, deciding what to put on page 2 becomes harder and harder. Google has a lot of user behavior signals to decide …

There are also fewer buses needed to carry the same number of people, and they are operated by professional (and hopefully less distracted!) drivers. I'm not sure a good data sourc…

Even if the 'bug' of limited time off is solved, I think people's valuation of their time is still pretty high. The trains/airships would have to be quite nice (read: heavy, expens…

I agree in the typical case, but they support concurrent add/delete one of their index options. Handling consistency/contention for modifying whatever graph/tree/etc structure they…

They used to publish some benchmarks on their site, but seem to have removed them. You can find them on archive.org[1]. I guess it is understandable, since vector search performanc…

Most vector search research teams are a lot smaller than you suggest, and haven't been around that long (e.g. the FAISS paper was published in 2017). From public info, you can see …

In addition to these other answers, a commonly used metric in the literature is the k-Recall@R, or the portion of the top k ground-truth vectors that are found in the top R ANN que…
