Fingers crossed braindead redditors don't migrate here and ruin this space.

Sam altman said it had 1T parameters in the Lex Fridman podcast

Providing my anecdata. I've been at amazon for a few years and I have been in a few teams. In each team I would see about 10-20% of the team were not a net benefit to the team. Especially in 2022 I saw this figure grow even larger. This isn't a charity, if you're not contributing to the benefit of the company you should be let go.

Starfield has been rumored to have this.

Do you have data on this? Its not like other apps don't have issues. Sometimes I open netflix and it takes 30 seconds to show my profiles; that doesn't mean the app is garbage.

Bailout implies that the individual/business being made whole *should* have made decisions to prevent the situation from occurring in the first place. What responsibility did a SVB depositor have in SVB's decision to purchase billions of MBS in 2021?

Taxpayers do have an obligation to ensure that I do not view my checking account as a risky loan to the bank... It is not a positive outcome for taxpayers if they no longer view their deposits as safe. $250k is also a ridiculously low insurance amount for any company with a non-trivial number of employees.

They are blameless is my point. The depositor has zero responsibility to evaluate the bank's balance sheet. Not ensuring the depositors are made whole will risk a run on all regional banks throughout the country starting tomorrow morning. We will then see a consolidation of deposits into the top 4, too big to fail banks; hardly a progressive outcome.

The government's responsibility is to ensure the integrity of our financial banks. It isn't the responsibility of the depositor, nor are they capable, to evaluate a regional bank's (the 18th largest bank in the USA) balance sheet. The FDIC is not without blame; there should be regulation that the bank's bonds should have been marked to the market.

This is akin to blaming a patient for medical malpractice — "why didn't the patient choose a better doctor".

I agree there are a lot of poorly thought out populist arguments for not making depositors whole. I for one prefer HN to not converge into another social forum like Reddit that has a lack of critical thinking in discussions.

The VC's obligation is to their startups... Its a completely rational decision to get your money out of SVB once you know others are thinking the exact same.

Theres a quote somewhere that any field with "Science" in it, is probably not actually a science.

If all of our pilots said they saw pigs fly then it wouldn't seem so crazy.

It is rather ironic

Mick West is a layman; a former software engineer. Not sure why you would trust his "expertise" over one of America's top pilots. Also I strongly question West's biases. His whole schtick is saying everything is a hoax and heres why; this leads to confirmation bias when your conclusion is that it is an optical illusion from the onset of the investigation.

Ah yes you're correct. Fibonacci heap's aren't usually used in most applications of dijkstra's algorithm (such as road networks) though because trading an O(logn) heap.decrease_key operation for an O(1) heap.decrease_key operation, but getting a slower heap.delete_min operation (by a constant factor) isn't worth it.

This is because there are much fewer heap.decrease_key operations on average than Dijkstra's worst case analysis suggests. The expected number of heap.decrease_key operations is not large enough to offset the loss in average runtime for the heap.delete_min operation.

From the paper:

"Two textbook algorithms for SSSP are Bellman-Ford and Dijkstra’s algorithm. Dijkstra’s algorithm is near-linear time (O(m + n log n) time)"

This is incorrect; Dijkstra's Algorithm using a binary priority queue has: O((m + n)log n) time

Given that their population is on decline, why would sacrificing many of their young population be to their benefit?

Very elegantly said

Its a political statement/dogtag for them.

A mask cannot be more comfortable than no-mask unless you're in some very cold environment. Suggesting that a mask in 2022 has anywhere near the utility of pants is off by orders of magnitude.

Any insight into how this is done without impacting performance for reads as they now need to decrypt the data?

I think the point is that it is too soon to say the bet hasn't paid off, maybe it pays off many years from now.

I get the feeling that the intended message is that there is a layoff and that the framing of the layoff being due to efficiency gains is largely bs.

I'd imagine some mix of legal liability, pr issues, and the fact that Teslas only traverse a minority of the planet would mean it would just be another map & not disruptive to google or apple maps.

Imagine locking down for covid in 2022; jesus these people are weird

And you're assuming they haven't done so why? Both actions are not mutually exclusive.

Yup. The guy lost all credibility when he said that.

You don't have enough context to say whether the senior eng's snarky comment deserves an "instant firing". Sure its unprofessional, but depending on how poor OP's performance is or the situation in comment it could very well be excusable.

I'd love to see more of this!
