Elasticsearch is the world's most downloaded vector database: create, store, and search vector embeddings at scale. Combine text search and vector search for hybrid retrieval, resulting in the best of both capabilities for greater relevance and accuracy.

Re:HP is buying HyperX for $425M on Wednesday February 24, 2021 @10:27AM (#26250870)
HP is buying gaming accessory brand HyperX for $425 million. The acquisition means HP owns the HyperX brand.
Approaching this from a cold math perspective, like a McK consultant would.. $573M settlement for approx 450k deaths, is a a little over $1200 per death if that is given away as compensation at all.

Not bad for McK I'd say. The consultants really managed this well.

Re:Ask HN: I'm crushed, share with me your failure story on Monday January 25, 2021 @06:09AM (#25901897)
I got an MBA admit at a prestigious school and left my family and my home country to pursue my dream. I finished my degree and landed a job at an amazing tech company. It was all awesome - and then I started running into issues focussing at work. My boss was horrendous (my point of view) and the place was insane to work for. I was eventually fired.

Introspecting on these events, I realised I had ADHD and I was just never diagnosed as a child. If I'd only known this before, I'd make the most of my job opportunity with the knowledge that I had ADHD. The cost of not knowing was close to 2 years of mental trauma for myself, and my family. It was being forced to let go of approx 1/3 of the value of my mortgage in stocks. And it is living with the PTSD of having been fired from a prestigious position for performance issues. Well, onwards.
