I’ve been facing this on X lately:
People often don’t get push notifications for replies. Why?
If you don’t follow them (or they don’t follow you),
they don’t get any notification at all.
If I send “let’s connect” to someone who doesn’t follow me,
they don’t get any notification at all.
Anyone else facing this? 🤔

Vector search became the default retrieval layer for AI systems.
When you scale to millions of documents, embeddings often return context that looks similar but is completely wrong.
HydraDB is approaching this differently with an ontology-first context graph that understands relationships between entities and how information evolves.
Interesting infrastructure play for AI agents 👇

We've raised $6.5M to kill vector databases.
Every system today retrieves context the same way: vector search that stores everything as flat embeddings and returns whatever "feels" closest.
Similar, sure. Relevant? Almost never.
Embeddings can’t tell a Q3 renewal clause from a Q1 termination notice if the language is close enough.
A friend of mine asked his AI about a contract last week, and it returned a detailed, perfectly crafted answer pulled from a completely different client’s file.
Once you’re dealing with 10M+ documents, these mix-ups happen all the time.
VectorDB accuracy goes to shit.
We built @hydra_db for exactly this.
HydraDB builds an ontology-first context graph over your data, maps relationships between entities, understands the 'why' behind documents, and tracks how information evolves over time.
So when you ask about 'Apple,' it knows you mean the company you're serving as a customer. Not the fruit.
Even when a vector DB's similarity score says 0.94.

New in Claude Code: Remote Control.
Kick off a task in your terminal and pick it up from your phone while you take a walk or join a meeting.
Claude keeps running on your machine, and you can control the session from the Claude app or claude.ai/code
