I'm aware that small form factor hard drives existed at this time, they just didn't have the capacity for a medical database.

At a glance (1 / (product_age_days * age_scale_constant)) just seems like another factor you can multiply (with the calculation of reciprocal costing more in compute time). Again, I'm more than likely misunderstanding you or lack

Certainly caching is important, especially for Word2Vec or other NLP which you'd want to happen in a separate stage after crawl, but as someone mentioned in a sibling comment, there are some factors that are calculated per-query, which

My bad. I was under the impression that most search engines are compute bound, but if anything there’s probably a glut of compute for such applications and a market appetite for better results.

At a glance it seems like there works be a way to form the weighting adjustment into a subquery and multiply by the reciprocal. And then it’s still multiply-accumulate, but maybe I’m missing something.

Can you be more specific? Dot product is about as performant as it gets with linear memory access and SIMD multiply accumulate. Throw random memory access and flow control in there and it’s a struggle to do it faster. Unless the factors ar

Why would it be more complicated? A simple dot product would have excellent scaling characteristics

Both of those stories are from the 80s, when hard drives were the size of washing machines and an internet connection was an unlikely thing to have outside the military and larger scientific institutions (e.g., CERN).

I haven't, but I think, outside of fiction, history is littered with examples of these kinds of witch hunts happening. What bothers me is that now, more than ever, we know about these outcomes – and as you point out there's even

It's more that the industry is bearish on long bets in a tight financial climate. The tech for VR/AR is too clunky to seamlessly integrate into peoples' daily lives like mobile phones and smart phones did. There will need t

How tragic would it be if someone’s deep empathic nature made them feel personally responsible for a death beyond their control – to the point of suicidal ideation - and was then imprisoned for it?

Ecto is more than a typical ORM. You can map queries into arbitrary structures, which permits arbitrary joins and selects. It also provides better mechanisms for validation for insert/update that go beyond enforcing type annotations

Which is the point of the article. This is something that should be available to web apps, but there's no motivation from Apple/Google to make that happen lest they tank their app store profits. Password managers provide a means

In contrast to the typical mobile user, this is a very niche M.O. Not practical for most I would say.

But it's not the reason the average user (outside of the tech community) reaches for native apps, most of the time it's because they are forced to. Like menu ordering apps at bars and restaurants. If it was a PWA, they'd us

It seems like essential complexity to me. I think maybe there's some ceremony around explicitly casting, validating, etc. with Ecto, but it would be hard to hide that without 'magical' assumptions and making it more inflexib

Yep, I've had some weird errors with Dialyzer, but in the mobile world I've had some similarly baffling errors from Kotlin and Swift, particularly around lambdas and generics. Let's not forget that the typing flexibility all
