How do you determine what users want to see at internet scale? We ask Tito Director of Product Management at @Yahoo on this next episode of For the Sake of Search!

The problem is sometimes bugs can linger a while before they're fixed. So a good heuristic we could use to solve this in a searchy way would be to boost issues that are viewed highly mixed with newer issues.

And that my friends is a search problem.

[David Tippett @dtaivpp]

90% of my job is just telling people that the problems they have are search problems and helping them see the solution.

[David Tippett @dtaivpp]

Case and point: user wants default sort to be newest issues when he lands on a project he's not interacted with before.

He shared most often when he visits new to him projects he has a bug and wants to see if it's been filed.

Okay, I am actually starting a serious company:

We're building the future of relevancy based search. We're pre-launch (despite launching this here). But we want to chat with small e-commmerce companies about their search problems.

Got bored… made an app this weekend to help me track my aquarium

In case anyone else with a #reeftank wants a free place to track parameters over time 👀

@sterlingcrispin The two artists I keep coming into when looking this up are Marc Creates and Harry Bertioa. Is the no stamping anywhere on the piece?

Is X more responsive? Honestly, it’s so hard because so many people haven’t made the transition to <that platform> yet.

FOMO’s starting to kick in

@HaimantikaM @digitalocean @replicate @OpenAI I’m just glad I wasn’t the one to have to take the fall because I would’ve gone down so bad lol

[David Tippett @dtaivpp]

@dianasoyster @HaimantikaM @adityaoberai @kunalstwt @robocell @RoxanaCodes @toddlew @tdesseyn @TasonJorres @macielph_ @LawrenceDCodes Fresh reminder that I need to open Twitter more 😆 happy to be in the conference community and always fun attending your talks!

[David Tippett @dtaivpp]

@arya_akhare It’s everything video on the internet it feels like and maintained by just a few people 😅

[David Tippett @dtaivpp]

@alexellisuk @github Yeah but we “ship to learn” 😝 lol I’m just glad it wasn’t me this time

ね、私の日本の友達はBlueskyを使っていないの？

It's always amazing to me how much work it takes to get "just search" working. This post/blog was a great reminder of that challenge.

Specifically, as it relates to building search indexes with the consistency mechanisms provided by Postgres.

1/12. I'm excited to share our latest technical blog post on ParadeDB.

After a brief hiatus focused on transforming ParadeDB into an enterprise-ready database, expect to hear a lot more from us.

Today's post: How ParadeDB built an LSM on top of Postgres block storage. 🧵

@ZimaSpace 5️⃣ N200, the n90’s TDP is too high, and the 150/250 aren’t as easily available.

[David Tippett @dtaivpp]

Super looking forward to getting to share about how @GitHub does ingestion! Hope to see you all there and let me know below, what do you want to know about ingestion?

The slides aren't done yet 😝

[Philipp Krenn @xeraa]

sneak peek: we'll have an @elastic developer event in mountain view in may — single track and just engineering. and I'll make sure to keep it *very* technical: besides developers from @langchain (@RLanceMartin) and @github (@dtaivpp) with more to come, we'll have @kimchy (Elasticsearch creator), @costinl (who most recently worked on JOINs for ES|QL), and dinesh (currently researching on agentic search) from elastic 1/2

[David Tippett @dtaivpp]

Here's a quick survey to help us understand what search is like for you.
