<li><strong>ScyllaDB integrates USearch for vector search</strong>: ScyllaDB has integrated the open-source USearch library to provide vector search capabilities, allowing users to store vector embeddings alongside structured data within the same table. This integration leverages ScyllaDB’s shard-per-core architecture for optimized performance, with claims of being 10x faster than Facebook’s Faiss in many scenarios. The architecture separates database and vector search nodes for independent scaling, storing embeddings on disk and indices in-memory for fast retrieval, as detailed by The New Stack. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/pKNE7iWlw" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Anthropic to run Super Bowl ads mocking OpenAI</strong>: Anthropic is reportedly planning Super Bowl commercials to mock OpenAI’s decision to introduce advertising in ChatGPT, depicting chatbots abruptly switching to product promotions. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, naturally, called these ads ‘dishonest.’ Because nothing says ‘we’re serious about AI’ like a multi-million dollar ad campaign to dunk on your competitor’s business model. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/TmM2mNSSP" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Elixir is the ‘best language for AI’</strong>: An article claims Elixir is the ‘best language for AI,’ citing an unverified ‘Tencent study’ that supposedly found Elixir achieved a 97.5% LLM completion rate. Apparently, its immutability and explicit documentation make it perfect for AI, unlike those other inferior languages. Who needs actual benchmarks when you have a ‘Tencent study’ and a strong pro-Elixir bias? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/1D7tGyRwk" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI bot traffic surges, threatening publishers</strong>: AI bots now constitute a significant portion of web traffic, with one bot visit for every 31 human visits, primarily driven by RAG bots. Publishers are deploying ‘increasingly aggressive defenses’ against these bots, which are ‘developing sophisticated tactics to bypass website protections.’ It’s an ‘arms race,’ folks, where AI is apparently too busy scraping content to actually click on ads, thus ‘threatening publishers’ financial viability.’ The internet is truly becoming a battleground of algorithms. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/5O2tzW5oh" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
