Dear friends, I'm rejoining Redis. It's a long story, so it deserved a blog post to explain all the details: antirez.com/news/144

1. Congrats on the return, and thanks for sharing your thinking! 2. You mentioned your writing – is there anything public or more information about this in general?

Thanks! The book is translated by an actual translator. If you want to read other smaller pieces I wrote, they are here: inevce.org, but these stuff is translated with AI instead, and then manually checked by myself (but I'm not a great English writer...)

Would love too! Need just a few weeks of time to handle the new work setup, and we can do it whenever you want. Thank you for the opportunity!

> VSIM top_1000_movies_imdb ELE "The Matrix" WITHSCORES Does this assume "The Matrix" is already in the vector set? Curious how embedding will work.

Indeed, if you don't pass ELE you can use VALUES and a list of floats, or FP32 and a binary blob, or INT8, and send quantized elements.

Mr. Salvatore, great news to have you back to Redis; especially now that you are inspired by AI, LLMs and RAGs. I am glad that you see AI as a useful tool, an assistant, not a replacement of people, or software developers. Wohpe, your novel, deserves credit too. You saw a future happening now, and in the process learned a lot about AI. I hope we never build Strong AI, but in the meantime I do welcome “Weak AI” because it helps us, and does not endanger humanity. Welcome back Salvatore, in many ways you never left.

It's great to have you back! Redis is the manifestation of “simple yet powerful” and I can't wait to see where you take this next.
