gollark: (on 6000 384-entry vectors, so actually this isn't very impressive)
gollark: I have a very fast but somewhat RAM-hungry implementation, and one which uses SQLite and makes it a (very badly optimized) user-defined function, and somehow the SQLite one takes less than a second to do anything.
gollark: I'm continuing with Project HOLISTIC OVERHANGS, which is the minoteaur semantic search functionality, and I'm basically just ranking a moderately sized set of vectors by cosine similarity to a query.
gollark: This is Python.
gollark: Huh, my wildly inefficient code is *surprisingly* fast.
