In five pages of text, we never get to learn what a Vector is (in this context), why we’d want to store one in pgsql, or why it costs so much to store them compared to anything else you’d store there.
For an example of how you can communicate with domain experts, while still giving everyone else some form of clue as to what this hell you’re talking about, check out the link to the product that this thing claims to be a successor to:
https://pgvecto.rs/ https://pgvecto.rs/
That starts off by telling us what it is and what it does.
- lja 2y agoThat's because this product isn't for you then. My team has been evaluating vector databases for years and everything on the VectorChord page resonated with me. We run one of the world's largest vector databases and we'll likely benchmark vectorchord to see if it lives up to its promises here.
- gaocegege 2y agoHi, we’re here to help if you need assistance (via GitHub issue, Discord, or email). Could you let us know the scale of your vectors—are they 1B or 10B?
- lja 2y ago10B, feel free to email me luke@ the domain in my profile.
- thelittleone 2y agoDo you have a blog per chance? Or any recommended reading on pre processing / data chunking strategies to improve results?
- VoVAllen 2y agoI recently came across a project that looks promising: [WordLlama](https://github.com/dleemiller/WordLlama?tab=readme-ov-file#semantic-text-splitting https://github.com/dleemiller/WordLlama?tab=readme-ov-file#s...). It appears to be well-suited for semantic chunking, though I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet.
- redskyluan 2y agoMaybe check this https://zilliz.com/pricing https://zilliz.com/pricing Yan easily store 1B data into Zilliz Serverless and the cost is incredible cheap
- lja 2y agoZilliz gave us a near 6-figure a month quote for our database.
- xieydd 2y agoYou cannot compare Serverless with dedicated instance, this is unfair. A large number of writes and queries will eat up your wallet.
- redskyluan 2y agoThat's true. Now we can offer the new dedicated Cost-optimized CU，pricing is $0.318/hour ($228.96/month) Which means you can store 20M 768 dimension data in 228$ per month
- curl-up 2y agoSo they should start every one of their posts, on that same site, with a summary of what is available on the homepage?
- jasonkester 2y agoWow. It never occurred to me that this might be anything but the landing page of a product. The title here, the presentation on the page itself. Everything screams "landing page". I had to go back on a desktop browser to see the word "blog" in the url bar, and mentally shift those graphics and little islands of text around until I can view it from that lens. If it's really just a sub-product of the main product that they're talking about, then yeah, it makes more sense in that context. But my answer to your question would still be "Yes". Absolutely. If you're a product, the job of your blog is to convince people coming off the street that they need your thing, even if they didn't realize it yet. Step one of that process is to not bounce them back to the street without any idea what they're looking at.
