Great visualization. Side note their new c++ extension api is also gonna be faster from the perspective of development / distribution of those extensions

I also love the visualizations but I'm getting heavy LLM vibes from the prose:

> One setting drives this,...

> The cost is now about the rows you actually touch, not rounds times table size.

Etc.

I get the brain scramblies [1] from trying to parse this writing style at work so I hate to see it elsewhere. Apologies if I'm wrong. But if I'm not then OP don't use an LLM to write for you. It's hazardous to your reader's health [2].

Ask a llm to rewrite it in your preffered style.

This all feels like mass hysteria.
