I guess what feels odd is that while so much of the web is co-dependent on different products or services, that is still different from centralized vs. decentralized. So when a network is decentralized, yet the keys to it's main highway remains in the control of one person (or group) that runs a server and manages a domain, it feels a bit contradictory.
I've recently started learning about blockchain. While I understand how "anyone" can spin up a node on chains like Ethereum, that kind of decentralization feels somewhat meaningless if all (or 99.99%) network calls get relayed through several mainnet endpoints. Because of that, who owns (has the username and password) the mainnet domains, like cloudflare-eth.com and can manage their DNS...
All the "memory" systems/pipelines for LLMs seems to be using the exact same approach:1. Chunk Docs + Embed 2. Store in a VectorDB 3. Query embeddings based on semantic relevanceIn my work, this has consistently failed to get meaningful context for prompts. Who has seen a better way of handling this problem?

But just because you might know-how and be capable of building a house by sawing down your own lumber and smithing your own nails, doesn't mean you wouldn't want to order some parts pre-fab - or at least go to the hardware store!
Why do you feel this way?
If you search for the title in hackernews, you'll see my original post. It's a pretty funny discussion that got sparked...
Congrats 8base!
...which feels like a totally different BEAST
We're had some people pretty stoked on twitter lately, but it feels awkward throwing their testimonials front and center.
Have you seen or tried this?
Please help. My boss is killing me with this.Our product is a developer tool. We're trying to give the landing a page a clean and direct value prop. I don't know whether or not to make it address the "why", "what", or "how". Furthermore, I don't know which would be the most valuable to developers trying to understand what we do.Currently, we have "Develop Smarter, Developer Faster". I totally...
