I feel like there's a huge necessary civil virtue to this sort of understanding the news project.

Thanks for sharing some details. Its cool that HNSW is useful for near realtime usage. For some reason I had categorized it in my head as having very very high insertion cost, needing to rebuild worlds to work but that's not at a well founded belief; very cool that it's usable here.

I really hope we see some open source work of this variety. Trying to understand news or even social media is something the world seems to unprepared for. Different subject sort of, but watching Internet Observatory be dismantled by the current political administration, by disinformation grifters, was a woeful loss of one of the few mirrors the that humanity had to understand itself with, to see how we networked.
