   Mixed feelings

   We used their DC proxies and Residential proxies. Resi proxies were having quite low success rate. We had to use resi solution from other proxy providers. Unblocker didn't work well either also it was way too expensive.

   🏁 Competitors: Smartproxy, NetNut.io

   👍 Pros:    Cheap dc proxies

   👎 Cons:    Quite expensive|Residential proxies are worse than competitiors

• 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

• 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

• Is allowed to scrape data using puppeteer from gg.deals?

  I have found all the required html classes and tools to scrape gg.deals website to get the required data for my discord bot. My question is if I am allowed to do that to this specific website without a WebSocket proxy scraping browser like bright data's one or any freely available on the internet. I have tried to contact them using this contact form two times and got nothing as a response. I also found their... Source: about 1 year ago
