gollark: This is interesting! I'm testing ways to improve the performance/memory use of the Minoteaur inevitable semantic search thing, and it turns out that using a dimensionality reduction thing on the embedding vectors makes some searches turn out identically, and some using rare keywords like "apioform" turn out poorly.
gollark: Obviously minoteaur will include "counter" capabilities.
