Even that simple explanation makes my brain itch a little :D I never did master trig
I'm curious if there ARE alternative methods to cosine similarity. A lot of the things I've read mention that cosine similarity is "one of the ways to compute distance..." or "a simple way...". But I've not seen any real suggestions for alternatives. Guess everyone's thinking "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" as cosine similarity works pretty darn well
