I wish people would analyze benchmarks with this kind of depth and insight more often.

๐Ÿšซ Stop treating embedding generation like ETL. โœ… Itโ€™s indexing. One of the most common misconceptions in the world of AI and LLMs: ๐Ÿ‘‰ Vector embedding generation = ETL. Nope. Itโ€™s much more like building an index. Conceptually, it's just like creating a full-text index on your data.

Listening to our CTO Michael Freedman talk about the evolution from data lakes (unstructured) and data warehouses (structured) into unified data lakehouses, I had a thought...

PGVECTOR VS QDRANT: You donโ€™t need a specialized vector database for large scale. Postgres is all you need.

New database benchmarks for real-time analytics by Timescale. Blog: tsdb.co/benchmark-rta Github: github.com/timescale/rt...

We just released a new database analytics benchmark. RTABench is geared to talking about real-time analytic /applications/ (that is how it differs from ClickBench).

Our goal: make working with vector data and LLMs as easy as possible with the developer tool you know and love. ๐Ÿ SQLAlchemy + pgai Vectorizer: Seamless Vector Search in Python ๐Ÿ www.timescale.com/blog/pgai-ve...

LGBTQIA minors make up 40% of the endangered minor runaway population. They are 120% more likely to be unhoused. They are also uniquely at risk for exploitation and trafficking. This is breathtakingly evil.

Vasily Grossman's "The Road" (the story, somewhat confusingly published in "The Road" collection of essays) may be the single best description of depression I've ever seen in writing. Incredibly, it's told from the vantage point of a Mule!

You can now load any @hf.co dataset into PostgreSQL in just 1 line of SQL ๐Ÿคฏ All thanks to the pgai PostgreSQL extension.

Index types for pgvector dense vector types and their pros and cons.

Testing out a theory about Math education: Can you explain why a times b = b times a (a*b=b*a)? If so, what's you explanation? If not, I'd also like to know!
