<p>In the post the issue is performance. Are you saying that getting too attached to performance is a smell? That sounds very odd.<p>It's not because a model performs better in some applications (often by fine-tuning to get better scores at specific tests) that it is better across the board or that we have to believe the company releasing the model with a high number 3 > 2 so that it is commonly accepted as better.<p>Pushing the reasonnning further: f you need an Opus level performance then not accepting GPT 3 isn't a smell.</p>

<p>If there is no emergency way to contact an ambulance in network then there should be no in- or out-of-network.<p>Calling 911 does not give you an in-network and there no way to know in advance unless calling your insurance (in business hours, giving that you are not dying... which you probably are)</p>

<p>O1, EB5 or EB1 are visas, sure EBs are also referred to as "green cards" but they are visas. And you are also missing the E-2 category.<p>The US has dedicated visas for running your own company in normal circumstances. I am not sure what you mean.</p>

<p>Yes. Unless you have hundreds of thousands of dollars that you can invest in the company that has not even been created, you would not be able to get a visa and your company would not be able to exist.<p>Unless you are a startup with large investors, that route is closed.</p>

<p>I disagree. It's not about the culling, it has never been, and actually, it makes things worse. You spend countless hours and tons of money recruiting talented people not to lay them off because you don't want a bureaucratic org.<p>If the issue is inefficiency, tons of meetings, too much team alignment etc, then that's the issue that you need to tackle, and these issues can already appear in a 50-100 employee company. Sure, that's an easy problem to solve with a smaller size but unless you hired people for no reason, these people have a very specific set of problems to tackle and are often, in these companies, the best in class to tackle them, culling half of the company isn't going to make things better.<p>(And X rehired part of the laid-off engineers)</p>
