Why Amazon is not able to actually verify sellers real identities and terminate their accounts? I would imagine that they should be able to force them to supply verifiable national identification/bank account etc. How do these sellers

That's what I was thinking... Car and trailer pulls you down to local places and too cumbersome. A much better option is just fly to some place, rent something for 1+ month (or even a hostel if you want to go really cheap) and live the

This sounds terrible. The whole idea is that you don't realize gains unless you have to. That is, don't sell your long investments! If gains are unrealized, how do you even pay? You must sell your assets to feed hugry monster call

Is there any implementation of open source vector db that is fast enough to say create embedding of 100M documents locally within few hours and find ranked matches in under a second? I tried ChromaDb and it is super slow, basically unusable
