## 2026-05-18 - Jaccard Similarity Optimization via Set Arithmetic
**Learning:** In retrieval loops calculating Jaccard similarity (e.g. RAG), explicitly building a union set `A.union(B)` is expensive due to memory allocation and population.
**Action:** Use the inclusion-exclusion principle $|A \cup B| = |A| + |B| - |A \cap B|$ to calculate union size in O(1) arithmetic time after calculating the intersection. Pre-calculate $|B|$ (token count) to further reduce overhead. Use `isdisjoint()` for fast early-exit.
## 2026-05-16 - Precalculating Constants in Python Loops
**Learning:** Moving constant mathematical expressions (like `math.radians`, `math.pi/180`, and multiplication by Earth's radius) outside of Python `for` loops yields measurable latency reduction (~20-45% faster depending on loop size), as Python lacks advanced JIT loop-invariant code motion for built-in math functions compared to compiled languages.
**Action:** Always manually hoist loop-invariant math operations when writing heavy spatial or iterative calculations.
