Theo’s snitch bench is a good data driven benchmark on this type of behavior. But in fairness the models are prompted to be bold to take actions. And doesn’t necessarily represent out of the box or models deployed in a user facing platform.

New comment by kernelsanderz in "Embedding user-defined indexes in Apache Parquet"

kernelsanderz — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 13:53:12 +0000

I’ve been excited about lancedb and its ability to support vector indexes and efficient row level lookups. I wonder if this approach would work for their design goals and still allow broader backwards compatibility with the parquet ecosystem. Have been intrigued by Ducklake, and they’ve leaned into parquet. Perhaps this approach will allow more flexible indexing approaches with support for the broader parquet ecosystem which is significant.

Marimo is really special and solves most of the problems that you have with Jupyter. For those Marimo curious I strongly recommend checking out their YouTube channel. So much effort gone into making these videos really great. https://youtube.com/@marimo-team?si=ZGaf8Zgq5WN3LKRg

New comment by kernelsanderz in "The best way to use text embeddings portably is with Parquet and Polars"

kernelsanderz — Mon, 24 Feb 2025 20:20:43 +0000

For another library that has great performance and features like full text indexing and the ability to version changes I’d recommend lancedb https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/

Yes, it’s a vector database and has more complexity. But you can use it without creating indexes and it has excellent polars and pandas zero copy arrow support also.

Also worth checking out https://github.com/jasonwhite/rudolfs

Been using it to store datasets via lfs. Written in rust and has been very reliable.

I’ve been using https://github.com/jasonwhite/rudolfs - which is written in rust. It’s high performance but doesn’t have all the features (auth) that you might need.

Some heroes don’t wear capes. They wield scripts, API calls, and a bit of luck.

kernelsanderz — Thu, 13 Jun 2024 13:49:25 +0000

No, there's a configurable system prompt which is:

Return commands suitable for copy/pasting into \(shell) on \(uname). Do NOT include commentary NOR Markdown triple-backtick code blocks as your whole response will be copied into my terminal automatically.

The script should do this: \(ai.prompt)

And then you type your prompt in, and it returns the answer. And then you can choose to edit the command that gets returned or execute it directly.

So essentially what you'd do if you were using the API directly, just more convenient.

kernelsanderz — Mon, 27 May 2024 22:46:33 +0000

In practice, a combination of full text and vector databases often gives superior performance than just one of the types. It's called hybrid search. Here's an article that talks a bit about this: https://opster.com/guides/opensearch/opensearch-machine-lear...

Often you take the results from both vector search and lexical search and merge them through algorithms like Reciprocal Rank Fusion.

Tantivy is also used in an interesting Vector Database product called LanceDb - https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/fts/ to provide full text search capabilities. Last time I looked it was only through the python bindings, though I know they're looking to implement the rust bindings natively to support other platforms.
