• Code Search Is Hard

  If you're serious about scaling up, definitely consider Vespa (https://vespa.ai). At serious scale, Vespa will likely knock all the other options out of the park. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Simple Precision Time Protocol at Meta

  Yahoo released their geographic data catalogue under open license and it still lives on as https://whosonfirst.org/ Afaik https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_ZooKeeper started at Yahoo https://vespa.ai/ was Yahoo's search engine for news and other content product, now spinned off (https://techcrunch.com/2023/10/04/yahoo-spins-out-vespa-its-search-tech-into-an-independent-company/). - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Are we at peak vector database?

  I think https://vespa.ai/ has the right approach in this space by focusing on being hybrid - vectors alone aren't great for production use cases, it's the combining of vectors+text that lets you use ranking to get meaningful result. (I'm an investor so I'm biased; but it's also the reason why I invested). - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Show HN: RAGatouille, a simple lib to use&train top retrieval models in RAG apps

  So what’s the catch? Why is this not everywhere? Because IR is not quite NLP — it hasn’t gone fully mainstream, and a lot of the IR frameworks are, quite frankly, a bit of a pain to work with in-production. Some solid efforts to bridge the gap like Vespa [1] are gathering steam, but it’s not quite there. [1] https://vespa.ai. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Creating an advanced search engine with PostgreSQL

  When it comes to search I cannot disagree more. https://vespa.ai is a purpose built search engine. If you start bolting search onto your database, your relevance will be terrible, you'll be rewriting a lot of table stakes tools/features from scratch, and your technical debt will skyrocket. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
