🕵 What's my belief in vectorspace?
It's literally just a direction and magnitude in a high dimensional space. In the db its just a huge array of numbers.
Sure. But usually you'd encode some known concepts into latent space so you can see what my Linux-yness is. Or how my vector aligns with whatever leftists write?! What use do the numbers have unless you do something with them? Other than write them down into a database?
It's how llms work... The points in vector space are basically tokens. The distance is correlated to aspects of things/concepts
So you can use geometry to search the vector space and get very good results, it's mainly used to store/index information for later retrieval
