The reason to move away from arm has nothing to do with performance, but rather avoiding licensing snafus like happened with their laptop chips. So far no one has delivered a risc-v core with class leading performance outside of the really low end. Not saying it can’t be done, but it will likely be a step back at first.

Of course air conditioning is reasonably well suited to be a solar load during peak hours, but in most parts of the world if everyone just installed AC units like are common in many parts of the US it would mean a huge amount of extra fossil fuels burnt.

These strategies have been tried time and time again and have proved not to be strong enough to overcome economic forces.

I’m not saying they have been enough to prevent things from getting worse, but they have actually done things that have staying power, and affect policy to this day, which is better than the track record of opting out as far as I know.

If you already agree the resistance will ultimately lead nowhere, why not focus that energy on something with a better chance of success? Best guess would be partnering with someone like the EFF for a solution through lobbying And the courts.

As I understand it, the branch predictor stores its predictions using the address of the branch instruction as a key. In the switch implementation the unpredictable branch is the one that jumps to the specific case. The compiler emits an indirect branch for this just like the computed goto instruction. But it only emits one indirect branch instruction, so that branch is always unpredictable. In the computed goto version, there is no loop, each case statement ends in its own indirect branch, so each bytecode implementation is followed by a branch with a unique address. In practice this makes each of them slightly more predictable, because you only have to predict what comes after an inc instruction instead of what comes next after any instruction. Basically there are more branches to hang predictions on.

As far as I know, stopping fiber optic fpv drones leans more on physical barriers that catch the fiber (eg road nets) rather than trying to detect and destroy the drone. It’s usually too late by the time you can hear or see a drone that size.

It’s true nuclear is expensive. It’s also true a lot of that expense was the regulation that has made it so incredibly safe. It’s unlikely a cheaper but still safe enough compromise will be reached in countries with existing regulatory structures quickly, but there is certainly room to improve over time.

All this to say it is absolutely reasonable for the OP to complain that they are being underutilized at the role of senior being given small byte sized projects of for no other reason than that this would prevent future growth.

There is plenty of bad stuff in the world it seems silly to invent new things to be upset about unless they are actually happening.

All this to say Hyundai certainly knows how to do this. If they didn’t do it, it is almost certainly a deliberate omission.
