Show HN: Fast vector similarity using Rust and Pythonhttps://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/fast_vector_similarityI recently found myself computing the similarity between lots of very high dimensional vectors (i.e., sentence embedding vectors from LLMs), and I wanted to try some more powerful measures of similarity/dependency than just Cosine similarity, which seems to be the default for everything nowadays because of its computational efficiency.There are many other more involved measures that can detect more subtle relationships, but the problem is that some of them are quite slow to compute, especially if you're trying to do it in Python. For my favorite measure of statistical dependency, Hoeffding's D, that's true even if you use Numpy. Since I recently learned Rust and wanted to learn how to make Python packages using Rust, I put together this new library that I call Fast Vector Similarity.I was blown away by the performance of Rust and the quality of the tooling while making this. And even though it required a lot of fussing with Github Actions, I was also really impressed with just how easyAug 23, 2023 12:34 PM

Hashsafe: A trustless, recoverable vault for all your crypto walletshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36673460Hey Hacker News! I'm excited to announce the launch of Hashsafe, a private key and seed phrase custody solution with no point of failure, and various recovery and inheritance options.Hashsafe automatically splits your keys into fragments (using Shamir Shared Secrets) and distributes them across multiple locations (local device, google drive and Hashsafe cloud), making it impossible for HashSafe or hackers to steal your keys. This is a similar concept to the fictional “horcruxes” which dark wizards use effectively to “backup” their souls in Harry Potter.Rest assured that regardless of losing your device, our company's closure, or Google Drive's failure, your keys are secure and recoverable. With just two key fragments, full recovery is possible even without an internet connection using our offline tool!With the same concept, we are enabling social recovery and inheritance in a trustless manner. Your friend and family have access to one key fragment and will receive another one to compleJul 10, 2023 9:52 PM

Show HN: Variety Quiz - Simple quiz to understand the balance of your lifestylehttps://www.varietyquiz.com/Hi HN,My name is Clay and I live in Austin. I built this simple quiz 'app' called Variety Quiz as part of a larger project I'm working on around lifestyle variety and its relationship with how we feel about ourselves as people.This feels a bit strange to post (it's clunky) but I think it's time I start putting things out there. You'll see that there is a callout to Self Sport which is the larger app/project I've been working on tied to this. It’s a much more professional effort and will launch later this summer.So why Variety Quiz?Variety Quiz is a novel tool to check in with your lifestyle and satisfaction levels in general (across key life needs). This helps to understand how you're structuring your attention today and consider changes that may be worth making.I think a lot of people spend years never really thinking about their lifestyle and the 'balance' (not a great word, but a common word for this) they've created. We all have things that make us up and form our identity — BeliefJun 20, 2023 3:20 PM

Ask HN: Application Focussed AI Learninghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36322424I’m a senior leader with a technical background as an engineer and development manager. I build with React/Rails in my spare time but my current job is not at all technical.My role is changing at my request to look at ways we as a business could apply AI. It’ll be exploratory, with 2 devs working under me to build prototypes and experiments.I’m a big believer that a technical manager or leader should understand the technology, with bonus points for being able to build with it.It’s worth saying that we don’t expect to be creating our own models, rather building on top of others’ using APIs, fine tuning, prompts, vector databases and similar.There’s lots of good developer focussed learning. I’ll run through the basics there.However I’d like to learn how businesses are applying AI and am seeking out how best to discover this.I see MIT Sloan and other institutions have short courses that appear to offer what I’m looking for [1].

You can see our use case, where we implemented Open Fire in the NextJS repo taking down build time from 1 hour 17 minutes to 26 minutes which is a 66 % of improvement without any engineering effort! [1]The value of a CI/CD Pipeline is inversely proportional to how long the pipeline takes to run and is a limiting factor for companies to release quickly and often.For a little bit of background, I have been working in the CI/CD space for the last 9 years in small startups, my own CI/CD startup for mobile games, and big enterprises like PayPal and Binance, and you see the same pattern emergesIn today's life developers are pretty good when they're building new feaMay 27, 2023 9:50 PM

That's simply unacceptable to me as a parent of two toddlers under the age of 2.Medical / Cost of a significant illness is really Fd up in this country. I had a kidney stone last year, and it cost me over 5k. Most of my friends / family would not have been able to absorb that surprise expense and would have had to use credit cards. That's not even much cash compared to what medical bills in the US can easily cost you. Families are being financially ruined by this shit.Lastly would be random, non-school violence.
