First (Claude based) testing confirms not better or faster if one only needs text embeddings for retrieval or clustering. For music audio, MuQ-MuLan seems to remain the way to go? (Multimodal is ofc very useful for many other purposes.)

opusplan, for the same reasons.

Divide and conquer?! Twitter could have been IT and somehow did not make it. Now we have many contenders and with Europe witnessing being cut off from American services, many are betting on growing public budgets for infrastructure projects. I paid for Mastodon(.social) for a while and somehow still think, projects funded by users should be the norm, but web B2C always had a hard stance in EU, pitching for public funds seems to remain "the winner"/most viable option in this space.

I would like to read more about Larry Page, too.

Me too!

The reasoning could be that this makes reliably scaling down (and thus keep making a profit) easier, starting with getting rid of SREs.

We have similar movement going on with Xing here in Hamburg, Germany (once conceived as a LinkedIn competitor).

Great names that still have a lot of momentum, but are expected by ownership to slow down.

Reminds me of Scott Galloway’s most profitable investment having been a yellow pages company. Yes, the market shrunk, but they could shrink running costs as fast or even faster.

That would be fine. There are also many that do not like swimming.

I will vote for the party that has a believable plan. So far, at least in Hamburg, Germany, I feel it is mostly a fight amongst many for the same, very scarce resources.

I love swimming and direct access to "nature". You left out child and health care, too. I do not see how any of these are prestige goals.

So when I think “every important thing in my life is scarce”, that is just incorrect imagination? 11 billion people can live on a lake with perfect child and health care?
