Author here. That's definitely my bad and not an intended user experience. The text was initially meant as a transcript accompanying presentation slides. I've compressed the images so it should be at least slightly better now.

Bit sad how it's going. People go straight to product and venture scaled growth.

Build protocols, not products! I tell people.

It's a terrible advice actually, unless you like eating noodles and scraping by. But it's still the right way.

We're still waiting for the antirez' Redis version of Vector DBs. Maybe he should do one! :)

The good news is that this already exists in the Redis search module [1], which allows you to do similarity search against indexed embeddings, among other features, and offers comparable performance against other ANN libraries [2], depending on your performance criteria.

I've been using it for a side project to do semantic search on books[3] and have been really happy with its performance. (Not affiliated with any of this, was mostly interested in exploring existing well-performing, fairly standard tools with low latency)

I'm not super clear on how this is difference from using any kind of wiki like Confluence. Is there something specific about the format or use of P2 that makes it better for distributed teams?
vkb · 4 years ago
Author here. The primary difference is that Confluence is more like a reference manual. A P2 is more like a conversation and a record of decisions made, along with all the context for those decisions, since each post has a threaded comment section where people can reply to each other. It's not better or worse, but has a slightly different use-case in that it's essentially like email threads or RFCs that anyone in the company can read.
