It's a real pity they got discontinued. The sleepbuds work fantastic and are the only product that works for me.

FWIW, as someone who had multiple friends who worked closely with Andy over 5+ years and at all stages of their career (both BS / PhD) those comments reek of someone with an axe to grind. All of the many anecdotes I have about Andy pai

Your analysis sounds reasonable to the non-expert, but recent work on purely-functional trees suggests that the gap is smaller than you suggest ("orders of magnitude slower"). E.g., see the nice work on the PAM library ( https:&#x

Unfortunately none of these news articles or papers discuss whether consuming ~2--3g of xylitol/day in the form of gum (e.g., Pur) is OK. I'm guessing it's fine, given that the warning is for products that are artificially sw

Big kudos to Alex. I hope he continues towards his PhD; these tutorials he's been putting out are fantastic.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts---I'll give the Labatut book a try but disappointing to hear that it pales in comparison to the real history masterfully told by Rhodes...

Thanks for sharing this. On a related theme I highly recommend "the making of the atomic bomb" (this is a narrative history, not an Ikiru-like summoning of a life by different narrators).

It would be a good idea to read the blog post before making comments. The result looks very interesting, and the blog post is well written (e.g., I did not know about the prior work re. Grover's algorithm and pendulum systems). The blo

I'm glad you found it useful :-) The other useful resource I will mention is "soulseek" ( https://www.slsknet.org/news/ ) which is basically old-school direct downloads, and includes a lot of obscure music

What a ridiculous article. One of the temperature predictions hinges on us burning all of the fossil fuels. Poor article quality to see on HN.

Thanks for the response. I wonder whether HNSW will still perform well if it needs to page neighbor-lists to/from disk. Do you plan to benchmark the setting where the dataset is too large to fit in-memory?

See https://big-ann-benchmarks.com/neurips21.html They're not OpenAI embeddings, but they are realistic, and much larger (number of vectors). I think many production embeddings at non-OpenAI companies will use lower-di

Glad to see more work on pgvector but why test on such small datasets on a large memory machine? The big ann datasets have 1B points and are much more interesting/representative of current embedding use cases (eg from dual encoder mode

Do you have plans to support metadata filtering?

Unfortunate that they don't mention the running times for any of the applications they benchmark (e.g., PageRank). Does anyone in the know have some idea how long this takes?

A bit pessimistic no? The interested always find a way, and it has never been easier with the online databases that the author acknowledges as being extremely useful (sci-hub, libgen, etc). What he is lamenting is the loss of serendipity fr

Well not really, right? Let's suppose some well known, well respected author that has a history of correct results puts up a new paper. I (and I think most people) will assume that the result is correct. We start to apply more doubt on

I completely agree. It's a pity that this isn't becoming standard in fields affected by the replication crisis. I would be happy to be corrected if someone has heard / experienced otherwise.

This is an issue at the department politics level. For the scientific field, once someone starts retracting papers (and arguably, even before this), everybody knows that you should take person X's papers with a huge grain of salt. E.g.

So just because one person is cheating, it means all academics are cheating? FWIW, most top-ranked CS conferences have an artifact evaluation track, and it doesn't look good if you submit an experimental paper and don't go through

You had a terrible advisor. I'm sorry.
