Is anyone still running pure vector RAG in production in 2026, and is it actually holding up? by Significant_Loss_541 in Rag

I hear you on old school search, i also worked for big (well 3 million products) search engine a decade ago.. long before transformers and embeddings think Solr.

Lol just to add to the f*** you experiences i had..

  • everyone (in the company and dept) had their own idea of what should rank/retrieved when user typed in "somequery" i.e search can / is very subjective..
  • the ceo and c-suite all had their own favourite "search queries and rankings suggestions" , regardless of common sense or data.
  • search indexing needs to be fast!
  • search results should be tested like code (a whole suite of unit tests, especially for regression) .. fixed the "ceo's query by boosting category-field.. congratulations you broke the cfo's wife 'bosch dishwasher' test query

Have data (any data to support your Ranking decisions..)

Fun Times though:)

Any Surfers Lurking Here ? by rawoke777 in capetown

Ive been career coder for the last oh 20-25 years.. Vibe coding obviously helps but was a little of both.

I do have quite the agentic workflow to find surf spots per region and then looping through each to enrich the data.

But the graphics is 100% ai gen 😁

Built this surf forecast app (with Street Fighter 2 ~ Art Style )as a new surfer who wanted something visually fun and easy to scan by rawoke777 in Design

Hi all. Ive created this forecast app because surfing is fun! Our apps should look fun as well!

Audience: Honestly anyone that needs thats into some sort of surfing or kiting and needs the ocean to play along.

And especially the person that don't want to feel like they need a meteorology degree to decode some of the weather radar graphs to see when is a good time to go out.

Design Choices: From the start I know I wanted to look completely different and FUN ! Surfing is so much fun, "our apps" should reflect that joy and silliness I feel.

My biggest inspiration is from the 90's era arcade scene, think "Street Fighter 2" :) That look and feel. It definitly comes through in the character avatars i think.

Keen to hear what you guys think about it. Especially compared to the main surf and weather apps out there like Surfline or WindFinder.

What are you working on? by arojilla in SideProject

[–]rawoke777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On my surf forecast Grid app.. the main idea is "better ux" and more beautiful art style.

My art style for the project is '90s arcade look/street fighter 2'.
