photo_Pawel/Getty Images We ran a piece last year summarizing an IEEE study of programming-language popularity based on job listings. This article fostered conversation, including debates about whether the languages IEEE used in its survey were even languages. Most of us are familiar with polls and poll results, especially during campaign seasons. Unfortunately, polls have long been proven to be far from accurate. Some polls have a natural bias for one party or the other (not for nefarious rea

You might have come across discussions or blog posts suggesting that PostgreSQL's built-in full-text search (FTS) struggles with performance compared to dedicated search engines or specialized extensions. A notable recent example comes from Neon's blog post, "Performance Benchmark: pg_search on Neon" (link). In their benchmark, Neon compared query performance on their database platform with their pg_search extension (based on Rust's Tantivy library via pgrx ) against the Postgres built-in fullt

Hann A fast approximate nearest neighbor search library for Go Hann is a high-performance approximate nearest neighbor search (ANN) library for Go. It provides a collection of index data structures for efficient similarity search in high-dimensional spaces. Currently, supported indexes include Hierarchical Navigable Small World (HNSW), Product Quantization Inverted File (PQIVF), and Random Projection Tree (RPT). Hann can be seen as a core component of a vector database (like Milvus, Pinecone

A new report showcases the 20 top-trending open source startups around the world, more than half of which are closely aligned with AI. The report is the handiwork of European venture capital firm Runa Capital, which has operated the Runa Open Source Startup (ROSS) Index since 2020. The Index serves quarterly updates on the fastest-growing projects in terms of GitHub “stars” — a metric that’s something akin to a “like” on social media. Beginning in 2023, Runa started producing annual reports, hi

H3 indexes points and shapes into a hexagonal grid. H3 is a discrete global grid system for indexing geographies into a hexagonal grid, developed at Uber. Coordinates can be indexed to cell IDs that each represent a unique cell. Indexed data can be quickly joined across disparate datasets and aggregated at different levels of precision. H3 enables a range of algorithms and optimizations based on the grid, including nearest neighbors, shortest path, gradient smoothing, and more.

Like every graduate student, I once holed up in the library cramming for my doctoral oral exams. This ritual hazing starts with a long reading list. Come exam day, the scholar must prove mastery of a field, whether it’s Islamic art or German history. The student sits before a panel of professors, answering questions drawn from the book list. To prepare for this initiation, I bought a lifetime supply of index cards. On each four-by-six rectangle, I distilled the major points of a book. My index

Agents are the next big thing in AI. Some define these “agents” differently from others, but the general idea is, they’re AI-powered tools that can perform tasks autonomously. The agent hype has reached a fever pitch, but one startup was relatively early to the game: LlamaIndex. Founded by former Uber research scientists, Jerry Liu and Simon Suo, in 2023, LlamaIndex allows developers to build custom agents over unstructured data. “LlamaIndex started as a toy open-source project in November 202
