Heinlein is problematic for a lot of reasons, but I've always been inspired by this:

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."

and ball trees seem cool, but require full knowledge of the thing I'm searching for. What if it's 7 dimensional and I only know 4 of the values?

I feel like a "parallel kd tree" with a separate binary index on each dimension would work better here.

Reduce depth. Allow unspecified values. It'd also be a snap to create and search each dim in parallel.

This must already exist...

And speaking of

I paid for a subscription. And they are now effectively blocking , at least on . Every fetch requires me to "verify I'm a human" so none of the images or load. It works in (for now...?)

, just say "no" to this kind of garbage.
