Keeping those neurons entertained with life's meaningless quests

28/06/2024 to 30/06-2024 Few days recap

Code, merged and did a clean of the htmx based active search changes for book highlights app.

Found this embedded vector db: ChromaDB. Started implementing semantic search. This would use an embedding model from ollama, using nomic-embed-text. In the upload highlights flow the highlights and embedding would also be stored in chromaDb.

The search would now be keyword + semantic, where keyword search results are shown on top.

Watch

Youtube content, Saket Gokhale, Hokkaido video, Sapporo looks a very beautiful place. Right at the northern tip. If you go a bit ahead you also reach the place from where Russian islands are visible. Also many small islands on North Eastern side of this top.

T20 world cup final. What a match!! Never give up. Its not over until the match is done. Brilliant bowling performance. Kohli getting the runs when it matters. Axar played a big role.

Germany going through to quarter-finals of Euro. A big match now with Span in Quarters. Swiss team played really well.

Why are vector databases so FAST? by Underfitted Santiago. A good intro video to vector dbs. Got the semantic search implementation idea from here. I will try Pincone once as well for one of the apps.

Read/To Read

Found this paper on Faiss library from above vector db video. Will read it once.

Meandering Thoughts

There would be many people doing passing comments on whatever you do. Just ignore and move on. Even if you fail, people laugh, remember you are learning something, improving yourself, getting those experiences.

Stay away from external validations. You'll be in peace.
