@shubhampatilsd This takes me back! Biked Pune to Mumbai in my 20s roughly 100 miles, pure impulse. Those are the experiences you carry forever. Kudos to you!
a university undergrad made hash tables faster and broke 40-year-old belief 🤯
for 40 years, it was believed that we cannot have better than O(n) operation for hash table worst case inserts and searches if it uses open addressing - for the hash index, look linearly until you find your element or an empty slot to insert.
the paper published last month showed that we can construct a hash table that achieves far better search complexities (both average and worst-case) of (log n)^2 - better than n.
I have not yet read the paper, but if you are interested in digging deeper, I have linked the paper and the write-up in a subsequent tweet.
in case you are interested in knowing the hash table internals, I have an in-depth playlist talking about how they are implemented internally and why they are the way they are. again link in a subsequent tweet.

The first crypto cycle was all about Bitcoin & digital gold. Second brought #DeFi & financial revolution. Now, AI agents are taking center stage. What’s next? #DeSci—decentralizing science. 👀 https://t.co/3Wt92uWDsw
If you bought $100 of Bitcoin when Coinbase was founded in June 2012, it would now be worth about $1,500,000.
If you kept the $100 USD you'd only be able to purchase about $73 worth of goods today.
Bitcoin is the best performing asset of the last 12 years, and it's still early days.
Every government, especially those looking to create a hedge against inflation, should create a Bitcoin strategic reserve.
Happy Bitcoin $100k day.

Often people who are aware about things, lack conviction out of not experiencing that necessity. As the saying goes “Necessity is the mother of invention”
