Ask HN: Alternatives to Vector DB?

A while back I was looking for a vector database that would work across Windows / Mac / Linux platforms. Some of the options required specific processors like Intel. I am curious if there are any alternatives to a Vector DB that can run cross platform and are easy to setup?

My Predictions Regarding AI Progress

I’m not fully committed to this model yet: I’m still on the lookout for more agents and inference-time scaling later this year.

Before learning and writing more and more about counters, I thought the same thing. Now I am part of the first... https://webdesignernews.com/styling-counters-in-css/

Why people are mad at Figma

Yes, Photoshop lost. Maybe you’re new around here, but Photoshop was THE design tool everyone used to design websites and apps. Everyone. But it lost out to Sketch and Figma and now hardly anyone designs these things in Photoshop. Of course some still do but most don’t. I still use Photoshop for certain things but never web design or apps. It’s dead to me there. https://webdesignernews.com/why-people-are-mad-at-figma/

Show HN: Cascii – A portable ASCII diagram builder written in vanilla JavaScript

3 months ago I wanted to draw an ASCII diagram to include in some documentation at work. I found the few tools online to be insufficient, and was suprised there wasn't a more complete tool to get the job done.
