Zachary Proser, developer advocate at Pinecone.io, explains what #vectors are from the ground up using straightforward examples.
Zack explains why vector databases such as Pinecone enable #semantic search, a core pattern for intelligent applications that understand the intent behind the end user's queries.
Zack also explains how vector databases and the Retrieval Augmented Generation #RAG pattern fixes #llm hallucinations.

  • Great job explaining and illustrating how RAG helps improve LLM responses and how Pinecone enables RAG at scale.

  • One question -- it seems to me like each embedding / vector would contain a different number of dimensions. Trying to establish a master-type vector template with every single conceivable dimension represented would involve mainly blank space and be a computational nightmare (hence PCA and other dimensional reduction techniques). So if something complex like "the US Constitution" has thousands of dimensions and something like "grass" has hundreds of dimensions, how can they be compared, seeing as they reside in spaces with different numbers of dimensions? Like, you can't find the distance between an object that resides in 7 dimensional space and an object that resides in 11 dimensional space, right?

  • What? Since when did English become an ambiguous language? From my understanding, it's the opposite. Ambiguous languages are those like Semitic languages. Just the fact you can use a different English word to clarify an ambiguous English word is unambiguous.

  • Unwatchable with the baked-in closed captions. You are also subverting assistive technologies when not using proper closed captions.

  • Thanks! But please don't use the on-screen text, it's horrible! Can't watch the video because of it, soooo annoying!!!!

  • The baked-in subtitles are SO distracting. Really spoils an otherwise good presentation

  • Your subtitles, for ADHD people like me, makes it very, very hard to focus on the actual content. To be able to turn it off would be great. Also, it hides content and is unreadable, it’s so quick an$ distracting…. 😢
