We're excited to release pgvectorscale. Our team built this extension to make PostgreSQL a better database for AI and to challenge the notion that PostgreSQL and pgvector are not performant for vector workloads.

pgvectorscale is open-source under the PostgreSQL license and free to use on any PostgreSQL database.

Here are two helpful companion reads to the post linked by OP: A benchmark of how PostgreSQL with pgvector and pgvectorscale performs against Pinecone [1], and a technical deep dive into pgvectorscale's StreamingDiskANN index and Statistical Binary Quantization implementations [2].

Questions and feedback welcome!

I find the best arrangement is spending a month or at least two weeks in Norway during the summer. I prefer to stay around Stryn. You can do some what I consider good drive outings in every direction.
Because the day is longer it’s perfect for going into rabbit holes, hacking something together to explore new tech and just plan out what’s next. The scenery and the very friendly folks helps too.
Only tough thing right now is it’s hard to find things to do for kids. I have not found a summer camp for non-Norwegian speaking kids. This definitely limits how much hacking is done.

We've just had elections in the EU and you won't believe how many people are scared of migrants. Now everyone can just say they're afraid of being victims of a hate crime committed by said migrants. What an amazing idea. /s
Even if that were true (I doubt it), Botswana remains way behind on economic prospects for the average individual, the core issue when we talk about development.

> Based on these estimates, 17.2 percent of the population in Botswana (446 thousand people in 2021) is multidimensionally poor, while an additional 19.7 percent is classified as vulnerable to multidimensional poverty (509 thousand people in 2021).

I think the first big software house that did this to my memory was Oracle. It had bundled adware in the Java download. Absolutely blew my mind when I first saw it. Now it's normalized. Thanks Microsoft.
This literally happened to me the other night. I was sitting in my lay-z-boy and my wife was resting in the bed nearby. I realized about an hour later that I had been asleep. I was 100% sure I was awake and watching the show, and vividly remember watching the show, but nope, I was asleep. Weeeeeird.
Insurance companies already track whether you smoke, drink, or do recreational drugs. I wonder how long until they start to ask questions that indicate your risk based on chemical \ microplastic consumption.

Hmmm, maybe my designs have been small enough that it hasn't been an issue.

I'll keep your experience in mind then. Thanks for sharing your experience.
You're right. The order is chronological with the pinned notes at the top. User can toggle showing of pinned notes. There's also archived notes which you can find in the main menu (top-left corner).

In the beginning, I intended to add dragging of notes to change the order and organizing notes in folders. But, honestly, after using it for a while I realized that I don't really miss those features at all even though I have thousands of notes. As long as the search is fast I can always find what I need quickly.

Again, thank you. I'll add this info to the demo note.
Maybe he'll get to use the "that would be impressive except if they had known what they were looking for,they would have seen it written on my dorm room window" quote later today.
This happens to me fairly often, and find it amusing as well.

Its become my way of detecting that I'm falling asleep: "oh, that is such a weird, ridiculous thought, I must be falling asleep".
Thats right! Fermented not cured ;)

It is both over-hyped and under-hyped at the same time.
Honestly, I made the mistake of looking to standardize on Google when I bought a Pixel. I got the watch some Google Home devices and they have in the following years terminated the Fit API, terminated gPay, reduce the integration to Home at this point I have no trust in Google to even maintain the basic services they offered the year prior.

FYI the RP2040 has peripherals too, a lot of the same ones.

It's very clear that GP has an odd misconception that an ESP32 is some kind of development board complete with "connectors" and possibly a battery charger, while an RP2040 is just the SoC itself.
WSL has had X/Desktop integration for a while now (after Win11). Installed apps even get start menu shortcuts, such as if you install Firefox for Linux. The UI experience is more sluggish than native, but iirc it's being worked on. Similar for GPU based AI tooling in Linux via WSL.
I think the PIO state machines are pretty cool and relatively unique. I am also glad the Foundation resisted the temptation to market them as extra cores and sell the RP2040 as 10-core processor.

When it comes to the Raspi Pico and similar devices[1], I think UF2 flashing is the best thing since sliced bread.
This alone lowers the barrier for beginners significantly.

Things I don't like: power consumption.

But you can't have everything...

[1] I know it is not restricted to RP2040 boards, but I think it is nowhere as common as there.
As was said above, humans aren't great at it. If I want to know the type of an expression, I ask the compiler.
Lynn Conway co-wrote "the book" on VLSI design, "Introduction to VLSI Systems", created and taught this historic VLSI Design Course in 1978, which was the first time students designed and fabricated their own integrated circuits, including James Clark (SGI) who made the Geometry Engine, and Guy L Steel (MIT) who made the Scheme Microprocessor.

She invented superscalar architecture at IBM, just to be fired in 1968 after she revealed her intention to transition, then 52 years later IBM formally apologized to her in 2020. She successfully rebooted her life, invented and taught VLSI design to industry pioneers who founded many successful companies based on the design methodology she invented, wrote the book on, and personally taught to them, and then she became a trans activist who helped many people transition, find each other, and avoid suicide, fight abuse and bigotry, and find acceptance, by telling her story and building an online community.

I think BI dashboards can work but only for very simple queries. If you are even at the point where you are asking non-technical people to execute joins on data I think you are in too deep and should just be writing SQL at that stage. Joins might seem very basic to some but honestly I find it difficult to wrap my head around them sometimes and with a UI like a dashboard which is less expressive than SQL I think it would just be a recipe for confusion.

It's ultimately a trade-off: you can make your tool more accessible to non-technical users than SQL, but it will necessarily be less powerful than SQL. And I still think there are plenty of use cases within that space. IME so much "BI" is just "I have two columns of data and I want to plot one against the other".

The author describes SQL as the only "self-serve" BI tool, but honestly, I think that is Excel. So many of these BI tools are just reinventing Excel with new (and therefore less familiar) interfaces. It is a meme to hate on Excel and I think that is because people have in the past tried to use it for complex stuff that really should be done in SQL. If we used SQL for complex data manipulation and Excel for "give me that as a pie chart", there would truly be no need for BI tools.
I also highly recommend shopping around for alternative RP2040-based dev boards. The official Pi Pico is surprisingly bad, and just about every alternative out there is better in one way or another.

I mean, come on: no reset, huge form factor, only 2Mbit flash, micro USB - in 2024? Just about the only pro it has is that it is widely available.
Not frittered away. That money went straight to the rich and well connected.

fair assessment about the drivers, but at application level, most developers would be at home if they manage to set up an arm laptop on linux.

at least for this niche, there should be enough native support that can show as a better alternative than windows. i'd like to believe that raspberry pi users have helped with adoption of open-source apps on arm64.
Indeed the software support is awesome, even using rust on it is a pleasure!

I agree. I'm reminded of "the naturalistic fallacy" which asserts

> Things are not necessarily safe just because they're natural

Whatever "natural" means. It's not wrong exactly, but I think it distracts from some adjacent, non-fallacious inductive/anthropic reasoning:

> Things that have not harmed your ancestors are less likely to harm you than a novel thing which your ancestors did not come in contact with.

The former (safer) thing is more likely to end up with the label "natural" than the latter, newer thing. So "natural" ends up correlating with "safe" more often than chance would have it.

> One possibility would be to say that if something is currently widely used in some significant (think 5%) portion of the industry then we allow it,

We could say "if it was used in the ancestral environment for similar purposes, and is not known to be harmful". Much of that stuff is bad, but our bodies have mitigations for it. (e.g. tannins leached from wooden bowls: harmful in principle, but we can metabolise them so it's fine)
Thanks but again this seems to be somewhat related but not identical to the illusion described in the article.

(Sure, the illustration / GIF / captioning on the OP aricticle is really poor and confusing)

But the illusion described in the article involves three actual flashes (without beeps) and the illusion is aboutthe LOCATION of the second flash, not that the second flash itself is a phantom / non-existent / imagined one.

I have the opposite where my entire life my parents or partners would say they came to wake me up, i sit up, looked at them and clearly say "ok im getting up" and then the return 10 minutes later and im still asleep. When i actually wake up i have no memory of anything.

Used to be a big problem when my dad would wake me up at 4am to hunt as a kid. Sometimes people tell me we had conversations and i was making eye contact. I have no option but to believe it bc ive heard it so many times now
I would add another thing to my comment regarding the use of other people's trademarks: If you do so, the odds are good that the company whose trademark you've used will notice. Even if your use is entirely legal, you might still get sued and have to defend that use in court. Whether or not that risk is worth it is a call only you can make.

Because of the extra attention such a use would get, I would certainly run it by an IP lawyer first to make doubly sure that I was on solid legal ground.
Proposal software with templates exists, there is an existing (crowded) market (e.g. https://nusii.com/).

I suspect that the Synopsys DesignWare SSI macro in RP2040 can in fact be used for R/W PSRAM or FRAM, but the abridged documentation of it in RP2040 datasheet is not sufficient for one to configure it that way.
In the case of Starbucks, they're taking advantage of an API within the Messages app, so as long as a third party implements something similar to what Starbucks is doing, I assume any other banking app could do the same, like Zelle could theoretically have their app allow you to just send cash via Messages if they implement the code needed for the Messages app. Now whether or not Apple would allow it is another story. I appreciate them gate keeping garbage from their app store, but they shouldnt just gate keep things they themselves do, its anti-competitive.
That' s what the backports' repo does. Also, you have two Firefoxen, ESR in usual repos, and the mainline one.
there was excellent evidence against leaded gasoline even before it was commercialized. lead had been known to be toxic for two thousand years, many of the workers in the pilot tetraethyl lead plant died, and midgley (the inventor) gradually became paralyzed, probably as a result of his exposure. people used leaded gasoline to kill insects, and accidental human deaths from ingestion were fairly common

there are in fact cases where people used something harmful for a long time before there was good evidence that it was harmful (examples include kohl, sassafras, trans fats, maybe asbestos, radium, twitter, and facebook) but leaded gasoline is not one of them

there are very many more cases where people used something for a long time before there was good evidence about whether it was harmful, and it wasn't. almost everything ever invented falls under this rubric

conservatism like yours was the default stance for thousands of years, which is why human life was impoverished and short during that time. during the 19th and 20th centuries, we took a break from it, and the result was a leap in human prosperity to previously unimaginable heights. now people want to bring it back. i'm not a fan
It helps that "slop" has a widespread, intuitive meaning (in this setting) that doesn't need 4chan's anti-semitic usage. I hadn't even made the connection to the 4chan phrase, even though I'd heard it before.

(This is in contrast to Pepe, which was popularized principally on 4chan and then exported by reactionaries.)

What do you mean by USB-C PHY? USB-C is the connector, and you can run USB 1.1/2.0/3.0/3.1 through it, but realistically a RP2040 can not feed even a USB 2.0 PHY.
Well said. I suspect there is a lot of lobbying and legalized bribery going on. For example:

"If you pay me enough in speaker's fees, I'll approve any chemical you want!"

"If you promise me a comfy corporate job after I put in my time here, I will do anything you want!"
For a SIMD architecture that supports scatter/gather and instruction masking (like Arm SVE), could a compiler or language allow you to write "Scalar-style code" that compiles to SIMD instructions? I guess this is just auto-vectorization, but I'd be interested in explicit tagging of code regions, possibly in combination with restrictions on what operations are allowed.

A couple friends and I reviewed hundreds of pubmed studies on this. We have a summary at:

There have been a number of papers from China showing that phthalate exposure from household dust is a real concern (e.g., https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35508265/).

Phthalate exposure overall has been shown to have an adverse impact on reproductive health and infertility, metabolic and oxidative stress, cancer risk, cardiovascular health, the immune system (including children’s asthma), and neurodevelopment. Unlike dietary studies which often have mixed results, the conclusions on phthalate exposure are consistently negative.

No idea what the FDA is doing here. I understand government inertia but they seem asleep at the wheel.
You have to draw a line somewhere. Countries seem like the natural place to start. You’re welcome to pitch your own lines and see who agrees. Though, this will likely end up with you being at odds with other arbitrary line drawers. What happens from there is usually not great.

It's often forgotten how much conflict there was in Europe (and most of the world) in the 18th and 19th centuries. How this was fairly "normal"

It's really forgotten how relatively peaceful our time is. I'm not complaining, in fact, I want to protect it. And that means we can't forget what was.

Why would I go to Starbucks when I can go to a local shop where the coffee is much better for 20-30% less?
FedNow is being implemented now across the industry. It is the "SEPA" for the USA. It will replace the 3rd party hacks (covering up the slow and tedious nature of ACH) that currently exist via Venmo, Cashapp, Zelle[0], etc

[0]: Zelle is ran by a consortium of FIs. I don't know for certain what will happen to it, but I suspect if it stays around in name it would switch to the FedNow rail behind the scenes.

These are not necessarily equivalents though. Without knowing the author or the tweets in question, there are a lot of aspects about the campus protests that go beyond free speech into actual disruption and criminal activity and public safety.

We use Metabase (featured in the image) and for the most part non-tech people do it fact use it. What helped us implement it was having 'office hours' where I walked people through examples of how to use it "This is how to get sales at a specific location or in a state". While it hasn't solved every problem/query/export, a large portion of requests that went in the direction of engineering before no longer make it that far. Other reasons to love metabase, you can self host it and use your GSuite SSO.

> To do a decent PCB layout you'll need to use very small passives in order to get the placement right.

0402 (inches) is small but doable. They really start to feel like grains of sand at that point.

But I personally stick with 0805 and 0603 when doing my own board layouts. I can't say I've ever felt space constrained. The placement of decoupling capacitors can be a few mil off, and in fact the "extra space" for placement helps your tweezers anyway, so you don't really want to push everything so close together.

Especially for hobby projects, I don't think anyone is really in the business of counting up the savings of 0.01" in the hobby world. Like, how small are you actually aiming for, and is it really so bad that you can't add another 0.5" to your board?

--------

Professionals use 0201 (inches) for maximum flexibility and minimal sizes. So even 0402 is larger than professional projects. If we're all accepting "larger hobbyist sizes" anyway, might as well go all the way up to the much easier 0603 or 0805 parts.

While a 0402 is slightly larger than a grain of sand, I'd say 0805 is approximately the size of a grain of rice. So yeah, doable with tweezers and solder paste. Just imagine lining up dry rice and its well within the capabilities of most hobbyists.

Its just problematic when you get smaller than that.
> this would have been purely an act of charity

Right, OpenAI was founded with the intent of being a charity. Specifically, to give all the people of the world access to AI that he (and other founding members) felt would otherwise end up in the hands of a small number of people.

Which is why Musk saw a conflict of interest when he at Tesla also wanted to develop AI for non-charitable purposes. As such, he stepped away from OpenAI to ensure that OpenAI was able to continue in its mission without being clouded by Tesla thoughts.

But then OpenAI locked up the AI in the hands of a small few anyway. This is where Musk became unhappy about the state of affairs.

> But maybe the main reason that it doesn't map

There is no reason to think it doesn't map. Perhaps the struggle here is in not realizing that OpenAI was intended to be a charity?

> Organizations are not people. Let me repeat: organizations are not people. Businesses aren't people, charities aren't people, churches aren't people.

In fact, they are just people. Remove the people and everything represented by those labels completely disappears.
