Zuckerberg tried damn hard to get his crap into China, he even asked the Chinese president Xi in person to name his unborn baby. He became quite "unfriendly" to China/CCP after all those efforts got him nothing in return.

is it possible to replace PID with reinforcement learning and get better results in general?

no, you were trying to actively promote a particular vendor - for well known reasons. HN is not your free advertising platform, could you please just pack up you ads and leave people alone?

could you please stop posting such advertisement? why would anyone read vector database benchmark results generated by a vector database vendor?

by tw1984 3y ago
please read my reply again, I was talking about AI companies (e.g. openai) are going to build their own vector database when there have a large enough team. for your question, google built spanner (that was like 12 years ago) and leveldb wh

by tw1984 3y ago
We have to be honest - "vector" database is a low tech stuff when compared to today's AI. You shouldn't be expecting to walk into the battle of AI, which is arguable the most important one in our life time, to dig a ch

or just build from scratch with assistant from AI - then market it as built by AI for AI.

Tell me what makes you believe that those big techs are not going suit those "banking, insurance,legal" orgs by providing them their own LLMs? For example, ever heard about github enterprise? you pay a stupid amount, github setup

by tw1984 3y ago
for now. let me repeat what I have already explained - when compared to today's leading AI tech, a "vector database" is just ancient tech. major players are going to build their inhouse solution or they'd conclude it to

why would anyone use a "benchmark" tool from a vendor (zilliz here) to test the performance of its competitors?

the OP argued that it is not a hot market - companies like openai is going to eventually use its own while small players are going to just use openai's assistant APIs, they don't have to operate their own "vector database&quo

I don't think such business model is going to last. There is no reason for AI giants like OpenAI to stick with such external "vector databases". There is not much technical stuff there. Unless you want to argue that "vec

I am still on 3G, the provider keeps calling me and asking me to switch to their new plan. I just keep telling them that their current plan I am on is the world's best and there is no way I would switch to anything else.
