#UpliftMoment
This morning I learned the Soup Kitchen in my #nyc neighborhood was $50k in the hole bc of fed grant cancellations
By midday I learned the entire neighborhood was throwing a fundraising party to feed mouthes uptown
This evening 100s of neighbors danced to Caribbean music & raised ❤️❤️&💰💰

Dein Nachbar baut eine Bombe. Täglich erzählt er dir und allen anderen, daß er dich und dein Haus in die Luft jagen wird, sobald sie fertig ist.
Nun wendest du dich an die Polizei.
Diese geht zu deinem Nachbarn, sagt ihm, daß er bitte das Bombenbauen lassen soll. Dein Nachbar so, 'ja klar, ofc', während er weiter an seiner Bombe bastelt.
Du rufst nochmal die Polizei. Diesmal erklärt sie dir, daß sie nichts machen kann, es ist ja gar nicht gesagt, daß der Nachbar eine B…

I would probably be deported from Italy for having a decaffeinated nespresso in the afternoon, but it is a lovely afternoon and I got myself this treat:

HARMONY: A Scalable Distributed Vector Database for High-Throughput Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search
Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search (ANNS) is essential for various data-intensive applications, including recommendation systems, image retrieval, and machine learning. Scaling ANNS to handle billions of high-dimensional vectors on a single machine presents significant challenges in memory capacity and processing efficiency. To address these challenges, distributed vector databases leverage multiple nodes for the parallel storage and processing of vectors. However, existing solutions often suf…

EnhanceGraph: A Continuously Enhanced Graph-based Index for High-dimensional Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search
Recently, Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search in high-dimensional vector spaces has garnered considerable attention due to the rapid advancement of deep learning techniques. We observed that a substantial amount of search and construction logs are generated throughout the lifespan of a graph-based index. However, these two types of valuable logs are not fully exploited due to the static nature of existing indexes. We present the EnhanceGraph framework, which integrates two types of logs into a …
