how well would this work for 762 dimensional vectors? At 3072, they're starting with such a high number of dimensions that the accuracy loss may not be representative of what others would see
We are for a few projects. We've been using them for over a year and have been impressed. We have 10s millions of items in there with lots of daily inserts/deletions etc. There's been a couple of gotchas but generally it is quite predictable and scalable.
We use 768 dimensional vectors for our items with several other payload filters (e.g. language). Performance has been good and I think the qdrant team focus on the right features without creeping into other areas.
We've been using qdrant in production for over a year. It's excellent and the team are very responsive to the few issues we've had. Qdrant does one job and scales well.
Yes I appreciate that there's portion of the population in dire need of food or who have little option but to fish - I doubt any would begrudge them doing whatever they can to survive.
The rest of the world (where we have choice when walking down a supermarket or picking where to eat) should be looking to more ethically and environmentally friendly foods.
I also strongly agree. Members of HN like to silence views like this, but it's a valid point that is growing in support.
You may not see it now, but views like yours are part of the problem. We can't keep destroying the planet. Change comes at multiple levels, whether it be from the individuals with their purchasing power or governments forcing reform.
You seem to think everyone lives the same life as you.
Many people don't have a roof, or don't have permission to put solar on them.
Many people drive very little per day on average, for them in makes absolute sense to have a vehicle which will trickle charge directly from the sun and cover most (if not all) their driving.
This car obviously isn't for you if you have a suitable roof and driveway, and drive many miles at one time.
have you (or the child comments) considered going plant based? It's shown to lower inflammation and improve the gut microbiome, which also improves immune response and lung function.
Several members of my family have improved their asthma symptoms by cleaning up their diet, allowing them to get off medication.
I know many issues people have are genetic, but the amount caused by a poor or incompatible diet are incredible.
Remember when segregation was normal? Remember when slavery was normal? Remember when women had no rights? A growing and large amount of people believe abuse against animals and the environment follows on perfectly. You can be part of the change or blindly ignore it because it doesn't suit how you were brought up.
Everyone needs Omega 3/6/9. You can get it from nuts and algae. IF you want to be inefficient and introduce a middleman, you can get it from fish.
B12 is needed by everyone. The meat you eat has it supplemented. Again, you can cut out the middleman and get it directly as a supplement rather than having a cow killed.
He isn't saying he can't imagine it, I believe he's saying there is no way that one can say they are living a moral lifestyle while still consciously contributing to the destruction of the planet and abuse of animals when it can so easily be avoided by eating different foods.
I understand some people can be naive of the issues or not be in a position to choose their diet.
Anecdotally I'm the opposite. I personally know dozens of meat eaters who have had major health problems because of their diet.
A varied diet is often promoted because it gives you the most chance of getting the nutrients your body needs, but it fails abysmally when it comes to excluding things your body doesn't need.
If you also start to consider the environmental impact and animal abuse that comes from 'just eat everything', then it becomes very compelling to put a small amount of effort into reducing meat/dairy consumption and aiming towards a whole food plant based lifestyle. Small steps aren't difficult for most people.
Junk vegan food is seen by most as a transition food to allow those that eat crap food to keep eating crap food, but without the animal abuse and environmental impact that meat/dairy cause.
Many people have struggled to jump from a traditional western diet straight into a whole grain plant based diet.
I disagree. This is a huge area which is ripe for innovation. Eating crap food is a huge problem for society and many don't even realise what they are doing to their bodies or the planet.

Interestingly he is vegan. Many people I know that follow a plant based diet look suspiciously younger than the norm (I get the same comments often too). Causation or correlation - who knows.
It is valid criticism of the name, even if you and others don't personally agree, please remember that. We all know that the naming of a product can have an effect.
