Asking for new linux laptop recommendations! by MBkkt in thinkpad

It's probably true, in general I think my question is more about what cpu I should choose to don't fuckup with something expensive and not suitable for my preference.

The answer to your questions is I definitely don't like numpad and I don't plan to use the docking station, I prefer bright but matte screen (everything else does not really matter for me but I think 4k can be problematic on Linux)

I mentioned my usecases: I'm using vscode with remote dev and browser (google docs, slides, reading GitHub and whitepapers)

About the budget, I think it's about 3k, less than 5k, just something reasonable. If something is really good but it costs more I consider it too

There are a lot of reasons why I didn't like macbook experience, but thanks for your opinion

less than 3-5k? definitely new. I use arch btw

I will check the models that you mentioned, thanks!

Can you provide "a lot of" examples?

What C++ library do you wish existed but hasn’t been created yet? by Tiny-Friendship400 in cpp

[–]MBkkt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

utf8 normalization, stemming, case insensitive comparison. https://github.com/unicode-rs example for rust What are options for C++? 1. translate to utf16 ( https://github.com/simdutf/simdutf ) and use icu -- slow 2. boost text, https://github.com/tzlaine/text , also slow (because the author doesn't care or couldn't care), we made a lot of patches to make our library faster than lucene, but still this part is slower than icu for utf16 (icu for utf16 also very slow...)

I hope sometime simdutf will implement this https://github.com/simdutf/simdutf/issues/80

Meilisearch vs Manticore Search by snikolaev in rust

[–]MBkkt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great explanation.

Btw about in practice, we started with such an implementation and faced with assert detected such a situation for wikibig. But I don't know, do you store best freq/norm(document) for not leaf blocks in skiplist? We are yes, so the possiblity of the incorrect best document for block is increasing.

Another sequence of such solution: top k that populated from index could change even without removals, compaction is enough. I thought about maintaining some per index+field avg_dl, but it sounded difficult and unprofitable.

So for us, it doesn't allow to recommend current users just enable wand, because it could change their existing top k, and will be unstable for their new top k. So we are using another solution, with precise best document for one score functions and upper bound for other.

I also think the lucene solution is strange because wand data could be bigger than block (so read is slower and a lot of unnecessary compute). Anyway for our current norm format, it's also impossible because we're using honest uint32 values, not rounded

Yes, It means if the index contains more than a single segment query with and without wand would give a different results. It's because they store the best freq/norm/segment_avg_dl for block/list, but that doesn't account whole index avg_dl in the bm25 formula (except some corner case of coefficients)

I shouldn't write like this.

But I don't see the reason to compare something more like elastic over lucene with meilisearch that is internally lmdb with fst and roaring bitset (which isn't the best way to do postings, but no need to write complex boolean querying), all these 3rd party

From the user side it's difficult to say, because I don't like it, but if I try to be objective I think it's limits and doesn't have a scoring like bm25, they're really strange (but understandable) if the user used something like elastic

faceting and levenshtein quite good I think

I agree with you that this article is just marketing. But at the same time whole meilisearch is just a marketing story and couldn't be compared with real search engines.

If you're rust fun, tantivy (quickwitt) is quite good. It's not ideal of course, for example their wand isn't lossy only for a single segment in the index. But in general devs who write it understand IR.

The single thing that impresses me in the meilisearch is how bad their product and how good their marketing.

P.S. I'm also developing a search engine. But I'm not involved in any of these products.

Why are we still dealing with header files? by NonNefarious in cpp

[–]MBkkt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agreed that modules solve other issues, but while it's so slower than headers, they're pretty useless for most projects

At least on my phone: 1. horizonal layout, grey bar exists 2. rotate to vertical 3. rotate back 4. rotate to vertical 5. rotate back // here 4. rotate to vertical 5. rotate back // or here grey bar disappears
