3. The project started under a Harvard affiliated Github org during the course of PhDs. These same people later joined Google where it continued to be developed and over time adopted more and more in place of TensorFlow.

i did it does a ton of allocations, which is why i made a simple maxheap implementation and then sort the final result

please make it even faster!

it doesn't seem to have better support for things like xor and count_ones. I believe the main use case is comparisons.

it lowers to the machine instruction now.

I also tried 8 Int64s vs 64 Int8s and it doesn't seem to make a difference when doing the search.

EDIT: apologize for the formatting

exact in this case means that all the vectors are compared against the query vector. Where as other search methods such as HNSW are approximate searches.

author here. I thought there might be a machine instruction for this but wasn't sure, I also didn't know Julia had a count_ones that counted the 1s.

Thanks! With this the timings are even faster. I'll update the post.
