There is also gaoya ( I am the author ), which is also written in Rust and has python bindings. datasketch is great, but it is not performant enough for my use case. gaoya is used in a production system for large scale clustering https:&#x

I have to switch between Java Spring boot, Go and Rust. The latter two are framework less and easy to understand just by reading the code. Spring-boot development requires so much googling to figure out why I get UnsatisfiedDependencyExcept

Great, but it is just a way to build reliable software. Many companies run reliable software without using half of the suggested points.

It is true that HNSW outperforms LSH on recall and throughput, but for some use cases LSH outperforms HNSW. I just deployed this week to prod a new system for short text streaming clustering using LSH. I used algorithms from this crate tha

I grew up watching Soviet movies about war, which usually depict very different picture. Sure, there are heroes, but they are not super heroes as in American movies. They get injured, die. Soviet war movies show that wars really suck.

There are many great algorithms that outperform LSH on ANN vector search, but vectorization in itself a high-compute task, which ads latency and require GPUs, but this is not reported in benchmarks. For text LSH hash can be efficiently cre

This isn't new at all. Most people who live long and healthy lives don't exercise much. A lot of people who compete on peloton bikes would be so much healthier by reducing portion sizes and taking an easy walk.
