Will Amazon S3 Vectors kill vector databases or save them?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-11 08:35:46

Not too long ago, AWS dropped something new: S3 Vectors. It’s their first attempt at a vector storage solution, letting you store and query vector embeddings for semantic search right inside Amazon S3. At a glance, it looks like a lightweight vector database running on top of low-cost object storage—at a price point that is clearly attractive compared to many dedicated vector database solutions. amazon s3 vectors.png Naturally, this sparked a lot of hot takes.

Trump’s Policies Are Shutting Out Americans From the Coolest New Gadgets

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-11 13:10:46

Tech companies big and small now struggle to tantalize you with tech without telling you how much it will cost, or—hell—whether you can even buy it. The still-ongoing IFA 2025 tech conference in Berlin proved how merely shipping tech to the U.S. is more tenuous than at any time in the last few decades. From what I saw and heard both on the floor and off, it became clear that the era of plentiful, affordable, and cool shit will melt away in favor of an epoch of dull and ever-more expensive tech.

Mysterious Object Headed Into Our Solar System Is Changing Shape, New Image Shows

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-11 16:15:47

"Even the most fleeting visitors can leave a lasting impact." Astronomers have been racing to get a better look at 3I/ATLAS, a mysterious object screaming into our solar system from far beyond. While there's a broad consensus among experts that the object is a comet, observations by four NASA telescopes have defied expectations, showing that it bears a much higher proportion of carbon dioxide gas than expected.

Some Heart Attacks Might Be Triggered by Germs

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-10-11 17:30:27

Germs might be even worse for us than we thought. New research suggests that certain infections could be a contributing factor to heart attacks. Scientists in Finland and the UK conducted the study, which examined arterial plaques taken from people who died from heart disease and others. They found these plaques often contained a dormant layer of bacterial biofilm; they also found evidence that bacteria released from this biofilm can then trigger heart attacks. Though not yet definitive, the st

OpenAI Is Bringing an AI-Driven Feature-Length Animated Movie to Cannes

You knew it was bound to happen, and now, it has. The Wall Street Journal reports that OpenAI is lending its services to the production of a feature-length animated film called Critterz, which is aiming to be done in time for next year’s Cannes Film Festival. That would put its production time at nine months, which is unheard of for a feature-length animated film, but that’s because it’ll be created using AI.

Elon Musk still makes some of America’s best electric cars. Earlier this summer, I rented a brand-new, updated Tesla Model Y, the first refresh to the electric SUV since it debuted, in 2020. Compared with even just two years ago, when the Model Y became the world’s best-selling car, many companies make great EVs now.
