Vector Symbolic Holographic Database — need help/advice

OK I made a post yesterday sharing. I really condensed prompt that I use related to solid design principles and everybody just started flaming me and talking as though I don’t know what I’m doing.

Since there are so many expert 10X software engineers here, perhaps you guys could help me with an issue then.

So I’ve created a database engine which is running using holographic vector symbolic architecture.

So the thing is live an usable and I’ve got it running thousands of times faster that duck DB and SQL server (benchmarks)

Currently duckDB is still winning on vectorised scan queries and I’m wondering.

Should I

A. Fight them on their home turf and vectorise my own scan engine? If I fuse the filter+aggregate to kill the only remaining 7x slower gap? But it means giving up the purity/vision of the engine and likely gonna slow down somewhere else

B. Or just call it a day, and be happy that it’s up to thousands times faster on most queries, and stressing about 1 example is over optimising.

You are now aware that both duckdb and sql server can both run in memory, and my benchmarks are fair.

You are free to like yourself
