datastorydesignon Beyond long Covid – how reinfections could be causing long-term organ damage

> There was a recent 2024 study that showed us that individuals who survive an acute COVID-19 infection — these are not individuals who are getting diagnosed with long COVID — on average will lose somewhere in the neighbourhood of two to six IQ points per infection.

This is wild!

Thanks for sharing, very relevant idea to keep in mind when discussing AI workflows

datastorydesignon Ask HN: How did you connect with early adopters?

Discord is a common place to build a community like that.

Some other common options include Discourse and Slack.

I would check these 3 first to see if they fit before trying to make something custom

datastorydesignon Show HN: HelixDB – Open-source vector-graph database for AI applications (Rust)

Hey George, Alexander from SurrealDB here.

Congratulations on the launch! This is a very exciting space, and it's great to see your take on it.

Running fair benchmarks, not benchmarketing, is a significant effort and we recently put in this effort to make things as fair and transparent as possible across a range of databases.

You can see the results and links to our code in the write-up here: https://surrealdb.com/blog/beginning-our-benchmarking-journe...

We'd be very interested in seeing the benchmarks you'd run and how we compare :)

You can sacrifice many things for faster performance, such as security, consistency levels or referential integrity.

I'm genuinely curious to learn what design decisions you will make as you continue building the database. There are so many options, each with its pros and cons.

If you would like to have a chat where we can exchange ideas, happy to do that :)

This sounds like you should get tested for ADHD - since what you’re describing is pretty typical for that. Such as the “Body Doubling” and craving the stimulation/chaos to work effectively.

datastorydesignon Show HN: Doculite – Use SQLite as a Document Database

That is an interesting approach.

> 6) SQLite is a proven, stable, and well-liked standard.

How does adding this adapter on top affect the stability?

Have you looked at SurrealDB? - https://surrealdb.com/

Seems like it would provide you with what you need.
