Thanks for the details. Also, always appreciated Discord's engineering blog posts. Lots of interesting stories, and nice to see a company discuss using Elixir at scale.
what does the rag for uploaded files do in discourse?
also, when i run a discourse search does it really do both a regular keyword search and a vector search? how do you combine results?
does all discourse instances have those features? for example, internals.rust-lang.org, do they use pgvector?
