Hug of death ` /api/hn -> 504 An error occurred with your deployment FUNCTION_INVOCATION_TIMEOUT cle1::c8vgv-1782399959042-aeba3cae05ff `

I get

/api/hn -> 502 {"error":"Search entry should have an initialized schema, command was: [\"SEARCH.AGGREGATE\",\"hn\",\"{\\\"$or\\\":[{\\\"title\\\":{\\\"$eq\\\":\\\"anthropic\\\",\\\"$boost\\\":5}},{\\\"text\\\":{\\\"$eq\\\":\\\"anthropic\\\"}}]}\",\"{\\\"by_month\\\":{\\\"$dateHistogram\\\":{\\\"field\\\":\\\"time\\\",\\\"fixedInterval\\\":\\\"30d\\\"}},\\\"top_authors\\\":{\\\"$terms\\\":{\\\"field\\\":\\\"by\\\",\\\"size\\\":6}},\\\"by_type\\\":{\\\"$terms\\\":{\\\"field\\\":\\\"type\\\",\\\"size\\\":4}}}\"]"}

If this project is an ad for their product (Upstash, promising "Highly Available, Infinitely Scalable"), then the last thing they'd want is a hug of death :/

Reminds me of this side project I'm working on. https://gitlab/here_forawhile/torum It's a HN clone, that syncs with HN that allows you to basically establish smaller private communities who can discuss anything that's on HN without actually being on HN. It also indexes and let's you search through the DB which I find is really useful to find things that peak my interest.

back in my day we called this a good ole' fashioned slashdotting.

Its funny that these days the bottleneck is usually the data layer. Servers are so powerful now that even your average $5 server can handle HN levels of load if configured correctly.

IMO, using AI to assign keywords to a broader group of strict synonymous keywords would make the comparison much more helpful. Because in general we want to know the trend of categories more than of a word, asking for “auto pilot” for ex. should include “self driving”, FSD etc.

I would not like this. This is the kind of change that made google search so annoying. (Eg what if I want to track the history of 'self-driving' vs 'auto pilot' in sales pitches? Or more basically, what if the system wrongly interprets me wrongly?) Better to support | or similar old-fashioned search engine syntax and dwis and not dwim.
