- HarHarVeryFunny 1y agoI was starting to think this was impressive, if not impossible. 1B vectors in 48 MB of storage => < 1 bit per vector. Maybe not impossible using shared/lossy storage if they were sparsely scattered over a large space ? But anyways - minutes. Thanks. Edit: Gemini suggested that this sort of (lossy) storage size could be achieved using "Product Quantization" (sub vectors, clustering, cluster indices), giving an example of 256 dimensional vectors being stored at an average of 6 bits per vector, with ANN being one application that might use this.

- softwaredoug 1y agoOh the horrors of search indexing Ive seen... including weeks / months to rebuild an index.
- stevemk14ebr 1y agoThank you, title needs edited.
- gaogao 1y agoYeah, the SI symbol for minutes is min, if you're going to abbreviate it in a technical context. Super funky using M.
- williamscales 1y agoAgree the correct abbreviation is min. Nitpick: could be wrong but I don’t think minutes is an SI derived unit.
- gaogao 1y agoYeah, it's under "Non-SI units accepted for use with SI", so more ISO than SI, but has standards for how it's used with SI units, esp since M has meaning there
