One-dimensional ranking is one aspect of how it breaks in real-world hiring, but I think almost the bigger might be that the secretary problem assumes you need to decide immediately and can't just wait around until you've seen the

This is the secretary problem [1] from optimal stopping theory, but it doesn't apply to hiring because you can wait until the end to make a decision once you've seen everyone. The main problem here indicated by OP isn't explo

What makes the resulting topology great for matrix math, vs. non-matrix math workloads? Naively if you know you‘re „only“ going to multiply matrices, what do you need the flexibility and fast context-switching for? Is the end-game here that
