The focus on the top 10 in vector search is a product of wanting to prove value over keyword search. Keyword search is going to miss some conceptual matches. You can try to work around that with tokenization and complex queries with all variations but it's not easy.
Vector search isn't all that new a concept. For example, the annoy library (https://github.com/spotify/annoy) has been around since 2014. It was one of the first open source approximate nearest neighbor libraries. Recommendations have always been a good use case for vector similarity.
Recommendations are a natural extension of search and transformers models made building the vectors for natural language possible. To prove the worth of vector search over keyword search, the focus was always on showing how the top N matches include results not possible with keyword search.
In 2023, there has been a shift towards acknowledging keyword search also has value and that a combination of vector + keyword search (aka hybrid search) operates in the sweet spot. Once again this is validated through the same benchmarks which focus on the top 10.
On top of all this, there is also the reality that the vector database space is very crowded and some want to use their performance benchmarks for marketing.

Project mention: Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-17I've built a few games with my son over the years. The fun part for us was all about fast iteration, and then laughing at the bugs together.
There are some other recommendations here for how to approach 3d, and he is specifically asking for 3d -- but I want to put in one more pitch for 2d: the fun-to-tedium ratio can be much higher.
I wonder if you could spend some time prototyping some of his ideas in LÖVE https://love2d.org/ -- if you show him the smallest sketch of something working, he might have an idea about what to add next.
Many years ago, on a flight, we went from 0 to game before we landed (with no experience).
As someone said, make the game data-driven is a good first step but I will say, also have some sort of way to add additional game logic. For C++ games, lua is really easy to embed the interpreter in your C++ binary, read in the files from a directory (like /mods) with the C++ filesystem api new in C++17, and it's very easy to use SoL to write an API for lua specific to your game. Many games use lua in this way and it's probably the most common mod path setup.
As far as I can tell, they aren't.
http://lua-users.org/wiki/SandBoxes
There is a lot of information there, but it doesn't handle resource exhaustion, execution time limits or give any guarantees. It does indicate that it's possible, and has a decent example of the most restrictive setup, which is a good start. But I would for example compare it with Luau's SECURITY.md.
From https://github.com/luau-lang/luau/blob/master/SECURITY.md:
> Luau provides a safe sandbox that scripts can not escape from, short of vulnerabilities in custom C functions exposed by the host. This includes the virtual machine and builtin libraries. Notably this currently does not include the work-in-progress native code generation facilities.
> Any source code can not result in memory safety errors or crashes during its compilation or execution. Violations of memory safety are considered vulnerabilities.
> Note that Luau does not provide termination guarantees - some code may exhaust CPU or RAM resources on the system during compilation or execution.
So, even luau will have trouble with untrusted code, but it specifies exactly what happens and so on. I think that's fair enough.
Project mention: Zero-k: A libre sci-fi RTS game, with an economy based on metal and energy | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-19Seems the support would be a realistic feature, though, because it's based on https://springrts.com/ that does support MacOS X.
Project mention: I just ordered a quest 2 what game should i experience first (free im broke now that i bought it but i plan on getting resident evil 4 remake) | /r/VRGaming | 2023-12-09Yeah the VR mode is unfortunately exclusive to PlayStation. There is a VR mod for older RE games, but it doesn’t support RE4.
Project mention: IT Pro Tuesday #250 - Optical How-To, Linux Website, File Manager & More | /r/ITProTuesday | 2023-05-09Far Manager is a text mode tool that helps you manage files and archives in Windows, with color highlighting and sort groups. Provides a simple, intuitive interface for viewing files and directories; editing, copying and renaming files; color highlighting and sort groups and more. Multi-language, easily configurable and extensible via a library of plugins. Appreciated by Hel_OWeen.
If the code is compiled, you'd have to pull a few more tricks. But to be fair that is also an issue even if your code is not source available - people can (and do) decompile closed-source programs and hack on them. My personal favourite of that is https://multitheftauto.com/ where the community reverse engineered GTA San Andreas to add multiplayer
