Eric Pugh @dep4b.bsky.social · 14hI might have been less engaged with my cousin, father, and uncle in that ride than I might have been otherwise. Less excited about that part of it all. 000

Eric Pugh @dep4b.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Come on Uber, quick sneaking a 9.99 monthly charge on to folks bills. My elderly father has had it show up more than once, and then we remove it. You sneak it on as part of his once every three months uber ride. Also spotted it on my wife's account, again... It's classic phone bill cramming. 000
Eric Pugh @dep4b.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Full text search is everywhere, which means lots of teams working to make it really really fast! BM25 remains a incredibly powerful toolkit. 041

You should too! railsdeveloper.com/survey/railsdeveloper.com2026 Ruby on Rails Community SurveyThe 2026 Ruby on Rails Community Survey is now open. Add your voice to the community data.

Reposted by Eric PughOpenSearch Project @opensearch.org · 20/05/2026Five years ago, OpenSearch began with a goal of creating a truly open source path for search and analytics has grown into a global community. Now we want to hear from you. How is your organization using search and observability tools today? Take our 5 min survey: www.research.net/r/GTB2M5Z 011
Eric Pugh @dep4b.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Now we have Tianxiao from MongoDB talking about bm25! And it’s challenges 100
Eric Pugh @dep4b.bsky.social · 07/05/2026We have Kevin Butler sharing a really neat tool that exposes all the ai hype magic in a Ecom demo!!! 100
Eric Pugh @dep4b.bsky.social · 07/05/2026A question about ethics and ai and a little bit of “that seems to end up being outside the search” and also is more of a organizational challenge that a search team challenge that impacts ml teams trading models etc. 100
Eric Pugh @dep4b.bsky.social · 07/05/2026I asked why we don’t have fine tuning or knowledge graph and not happy with the answer of “cause they were outside”. “Maybe in the future”… 000
Eric Pugh @dep4b.bsky.social · 07/05/2026How do I explain search to my LLM using exec…. “Search” isn’t search…. It is how you model context and provide it to LLM 000
Eric Pugh @dep4b.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Trey has played with skg and found it is way better than splade because of how naive splade is when trained on general data. Plus splade is flat, no hierchy to meanings. 000
Eric Pugh @dep4b.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Why not grep? It is a possibility. Grep isn’t optimized however in the way that we want for speed 500
Eric Pugh @dep4b.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Jon highlighting that we can even provide our own data back to the agents in a very deep way. (Eric, didn’t empathy have something about ethical commerce and ow. Your data?) 010
Eric Pugh @dep4b.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Query understanding is even more important in the agent world 000
Eric Pugh @dep4b.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Trey highlighting the search index is really a cache of knowledge. Agents are still going to seek out data caches. So the cache needs to be agent friendly . This may lead us to more types of data cache structures. Return of the PolyStore? KalDB as an example… 000
Eric Pugh @dep4b.bsky.social · 07/05/2026We don’t yet know enough to think about optimization, which holds back production deploys at scale 000
Eric Pugh @dep4b.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Experimenting in a rather costly way.. with LLM, but we have not really taken the cost scapel to these new systems with local LLM or finetuning … 500
Eric Pugh @dep4b.bsky.social · 07/05/2026We are experimenting on how we do things…. And maybe we just need simpler tools and lets the agents figure it out. 100
Eric Pugh @dep4b.bsky.social · 07/05/2026“Do we even need search” panel kicking off…. #haystackconf 410
Eric Pugh @dep4b.bsky.social · 07/05/2026I’ll be talking about the new Solr MCP tool with the creator Aditya Parikh and how we handle security, governance, testing of this new class of software! 000
