Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How to use Weaviate to store and query vector embeddings
In this tutorial, I introduce Weaviate, an open-source vector database, with the thenlper/gte-base embedding model from Alibaba, through Hugging Face's transformers library.

Do we think about vector dbs wrong?
Hey @rvrs, I work on Weaviate and we are doing some improvements around increasing write throughput:
1. gRPC. Using gRPC to write vectors has had a really nice performance boost. It is released in Weaviate core but here is still some work on do on the clients. Feel free to get in contact if you would like to try it out.
2. Parameter tuning. lowering `efConstruction` can speed up imports.
3. We are also working on async indexing https://github.com/weaviate/weaviate/issues/3463 which will further speed things up.
In comparison with pgvector, Weaviate has more flexible query options such as hybrid search and quantization to save memory on larger datasets.

Tantivy 0.20 is released: Schemaless column store, Schemaless aggregations, Phrase prefix queries, Percentiles, and more...
I don't think you have an active project that addresses all those use cases. There was an attempt in Rust with Toshi that is built on top of tantivy, but the project seems to have stalled.

Postgres Full Text Search vs. the Rest
I wish we had an extension like ZomboDB but using a lighter search engine like https://github.com/quickwit-oss/quickwit, https://github.com/toshi-search/Toshi and https://github.com/mosuka/bayard
Here I'm listing engines based on https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy - tantivy is comparable to Lucene in its scope - but I'm sure there are other engines that could tackle ElasticSearch.
Another thing that could happen is maybe directly embed tantivy in Postgres using an extension, perhaps this could be an option too.

Ask HN: Does anybody still use bookmarking services?
I do something similar, though I index the page myself via a little browser extension I wrote. I click a button, the content gets POSTed to a server that throws it in Toshi[1]. I hacked it together on a Saturday, and it's been pretty handy; as you describe, much more useful than any bookmarking approach I've tried before.

There is some incredible work being done in the web department, frameworks like rocket.rs and actix.rs are amazing. To get the latest info on web development in Rust, check arewewebyet.org. It doesn't list Toshi though, which is weird.
