    • Project mention: Why Neovim is My Text Editor of Choice | dev.to | 2024-04-23

    As a software engineer, choosing and understanding your text editor is important part of your work, as it impacts your productivity and workflow efficiency. It's like choosing the perfect tool for any trade - you need to know what tool to use and how to use it effectively if you want to excel. For me, I use Neovim as my editor and I have been using it for a little over a year now.

    You can try the Chinese build Lean: https://github.com/coolsnowwolf/lede/tree/master/target/linux/x86 it has 6.x kernels but please note that default packages are not the same as the main openwrt packages, they are most of the time older packages. In short they have different packages (b default).

  • annoy

    Approximate Nearest Neighbors in C++/Python optimized for memory usage and loading/saving to disk

    • Project mention: Do we think about vector dbs wrong? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-05

    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.

    Another option for hacking something like this together could be HammerSpoon. I’ve spent some time with it, but haven’t tried integrating with Apple Notes, I mostly did stuff at the file system level to keep it easy.

    This works for installing the other plugins. But I can't seem to access nvim-tree. According to the website (https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua), I should be able enter :NvimTreeOpen in neovim, but I get "Not an editor command: NvimTreeOpen." Any ideas?

  • gopher-lua

    GopherLua: VM and compiler for Lua in Go

    • Project mention: Go performance from version 1.0 to 1.22 | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-14

    Would be neat to see graph of recent versions with linear scale

    I checked, they use switch on opcodes in vm.go. So would expect a recent improvement, but probably only <5%, & I didn't look close enough to see if awk is one of those languages where instruction dispatch matters less (like how APL tends to avoid issues since array ops avoid having dispatch in tight loops, or how Python avoids instruction dispatch overhead when using numpy)

    For VMs Go had a problem for large switch statements: it would always use binary search instead of a jump table. This caused gopher-lua & go-lua to both take the route of having an array of functions which they call on to dispatch instead

    A couple years ago this was fixed: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/357330

    I measured a small perf improvement switching gopher-lua to switch: https://github.com/yuin/gopher-lua/pull/479
