Counts per filter can be stored pre-computed, using the same inverted index structure the search uses. Keyword -> (num_docs, doc1,doc3,doc4,…) So you can quite quickly look up the number of matches.

+1 to the article. I’ve noticed this more recently. Ironically, it seems to be more common with coding communities known for their welcoming spirit and helpful nature, for example Rust. Gratuitous repetition of how easy something is can mak

Not what you mentioned, but somewhat similar. The stages of group development of forming, storming, norming, performing, adjourning. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuckman%27s_stages_of_group_...

Play around with other prompts. For example, “golden gate bridge in the style of Van Gogh futuristic”. Architecture is cool. It doesn’t do people well

At Amazon, near Black Friday and Prime Day, there are company wide deployment freezes, where no one is allowed to push to prod. When I was oncall for my team, I found there were less pages, less issues, and the system was generally more sta

Seems the author is proposing LSH instead of vectors for doing ANN? There are benchmarks here, http://ann-benchmarks.com/ , but LSH underperforms the state of the art ANN algorithms like HNSW on recall/throughput. LSH

At Amazon, engineers are frequently referred to as “resources” and “head count”. For example, “Hi Priya, how much are you resourcing project z” translates to, “how many of the engineers you manage will you tell to work on project z”.
