Finally, a premium multitool that doesn't feel like I'm getting scammed

A good multitool can be a reliable companion for decades (as long as you don't lose it!). Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET I like having a good multitool close at hand and at all times. While they can't replace a proper toolkit, I don't fancy carrying a full toolkit with me when I'm out and about.

Muvera: Making multi-vector retrieval as fast as single-vector search

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-25 04:29:34

Neural embedding models have become a cornerstone of modern information retrieval (IR). Given a query from a user (e.g., “How tall is Mt Everest?”), the goal of IR is to find information relevant to the query from a very large collection of data (e.g., the billions of documents, images, or videos on the Web). Embedding models transform each datapoint into a single-vector “embedding”, such that semantically similar datapoints are transformed into mathematically similar vectors. The embeddings are
