srchvrs · x · 2026-09-18
Vector search developer srchvrs trades barbs with lateinteraction (ColBERT author), who said that despite proudly reposting a release before it had traction and loving the team, the community is "massively and absurdly overhyping an otherwise perfectly good (even great) release," urging everyone to "be calibrated for once." srchvrs replied sarcastically: "We all have to slow down, right?"
