<p>My read is that no customers will leave since they are much more interested in news coverage -- and this helps the AP focus more on news.<p>This is a tangent, but I wonder if they feel that they are just creating LLM training data and that few readers (even of Sunday papers) will actually read their reviews.</p>

<p>I wish there were some explain plans in either post, since I don't get what's going on.<p>If the query uses the index, then the on the fly tsvector rechecks are only on the matches and the benchmark queries have LIMIT 10, so few rechecks right?<p>Edit: yes but the query predicates have conditions on 2 gin indexes, so I guess the planner chooses to recheck all the matches for one index first even though it could avoid lots of work by rechecking row-wise</p>

<p>This is very cool.  Kuzu has a ton of great blog content on all the ways they make Kuzu light and fast.  WebLMM (or in the future chrome.ai.* etc) + embedded graph could make for some great UXes<p>At one time I thought I read that there was a project to embed Kuzu into DuckDB, but bringing a vector store natively into kuzu sounds even better.</p>

<p>Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest your solution was brittle -- I actually quite like it and want to adopt it!<p>But I do think the legacy browser behavior with the ID attribute as window properties is very brittle for the reasons you suggest</p>

<p>If you like brittle things, the id attribute is already made into an attribute on the window for legacy reasons<p>Edit: My tone may have indicated that parent's solution was brittle. It's not!</p>

<p>On Chrome, I solve my too-many-tab issues with an extension [0] that closes the LRU tab once a threshold is reached (10 for me).  I find the tabs I need are open and wide enough, and the tabs that autoclose were not useful anymore.  About once a month I'm doing a research task where I actually want many tabs and I turn it off temporarily.<p>[0] - <a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/max-tabs/ghhcibaghjbdjmnknknlnbobcblfcnma?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/max-tabs/ghhcibaghj...</a></p>

<p>I have a use case for this that I'm excited to try. I'm glad AlexG has put so much effort into this. Even the docs are pretty good!<p>My pyenv python3.12.2's sqlite won't load extensions even after installing with what I think are the correct command line flags. Argh!<p>My brew installed python3.12's sqlite will load extensions though, so I can proceed.</p>

<p>Yes, speed.  1,000,000+ QPS and 1,000s of ads to evaluate is common.  At that scale it's very distributed, so replication is another challenge.<p>In a way, its a search problem where bid≈relevance and targeting_match≈recall, so I've seen Solr used here too.</p>
