Just brute force your embeddings (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I wrote embedded C code in the 2000s we latched onto something Raymond Chen, wrote in passing My O(n) algorithm can run circles around your O(log n) algorithm; why much of what you learned in school simply doesn’t matter True of a sorting algorithm. True of vector search. People think they need a vector database. But often they have like 1m docs to search. Numpy can brute-force an array of float32s very fast: This is literally just this line of Python code, on 384 dim embeddings, running on
Why write code in 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s our job to build the software factory - not just the software. Software engineers maintain the assembly line allowing anyone to prompt for a change and ship immediately. We set up the infrastructure that makes agents successful. We act proactively through prompts (skills, AGENTS.md, knowledge bases etc). We protect software reactively through automated evaluation (tests, linting, type systems, evals, other AI, etc). It all keeps the agent on track. Even a stupid model, with fresh context, c
