Re:Reducing BigQuery Costs on Tuesday February 06, 2024 @07:23PM (#39282886)
We are working on a product aimed at enhancing the cost efficiency of cloud data warehouses, particularly for users of platforms like Google BigQuery. The core features are intelligent clustering suggestions, automatic materialized view creation, cost monitoring/alerts and more. We're in the phase of seeking potential users who can provide valuable feedback and help validate our idea. If this strikes a chord with your needs or interests, we'd be thrilled to connect with you. Please write me at [email protected] Thanks!
Re:Choosing vector database: a side-by-side comparison on Wednesday October 04, 2023 @01:00PM (#37768148)
Vespa.ai does a great job. Absolutely stunning thing!
Re:Do you need a vector database? on Thursday April 13, 2023 @02:18PM (#35559768)
In my opinion, you could represent "apple" as a vector, for example, [0.99, 0.3, 0.7] in relation to [fruits, computers, religion]. Then, you can create different user vectors that describe the interests of various groups. For instance, the general population might have a vector like [0.8, 0.2, 0.1], geeks as [0.6, 0.95, 0.05], and religious people as [0.7, 0.1, 0.95].

By creating these user vectors, you can compare them with the "apple" vector and find the best match using ANN. This approach allows you to determine which group is most interested in a given context or aspect of the word "apple." The ANN will help you identify similarities or patterns in the user vectors and the "apple" vector to find the most relevant matches.

Thank you
