<p>>On modern CPUs, avoiding branch misprediction is a key technique to speed up programs. This branchless approach:<p>><p>>for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {<p>> small_numbers[smlen] = numbers[i];<p>> smlen += (numbers[i] < 500);<p>>}<p>Excuse my terrible ignorance but isn't there still a branch? If numbers[i] < 500 then 1 else 0?
I would think something like addition plus a bit comparison would avoid said branch. Unless compilers already optimize the code, but then wouldn't they also optimize the naive piece of code?</p>

<p>From a quick search online, the max brightness of your laptop is 400 nits SDR and 500 HDR. My M5 MacBook Pro is 1000 and 1500 nits.<p>Screen brightness is not something I will compromise on after having a taste of greatness.<p>I personally wouldn't mind spending 30-40% more for a Linux laptop with similar qualities + repairability. But I will not settle for something much more expensive and worst in some aspects.<p>There are also arguments agains repairability in Framework's laptop. I did the calculations and for the Framework 16, it would be cheaper to buy a gaming Asus laptop and throw it out in a couple years to replace it versus buying a framework and upgrading it. Utter insanity.</p>

<p>My god, from this video I learned two things:<p>- Tesla's vision only approach seems a lot more competent than the Lidar suites from smaller Chinese makers. Perhaps I misjudged how necessary Lidar was to achieve safe driving.<p>- Virtually all of the Chinese car infotainment were basically a 1:1 copy of Tesla's. I couldn't find any that genuinely tried something unique lol</p>

<p>20 years is not enough.<p>If you just look at the past 20 years, the US has had exceptional returns compared to the rest of the world.<p>The thing is, historically, high PE ratios like what we're seeing in the US do not correlate with short term returns that are as high.

<p>You could just buy deep out of money SP500 puts expiring in 1+ year. That way you would be "insured" against the bubble popping.<p>The thing is, every dollar you spend on insurance is a dollar (and its interest) you lose. Furthermore, we don't know when it will pop. 1 year? 5 years?<p>The more reasonable solution is probably gradually reduce exposure to US markets by selling SP500 shares and turning to Europe and emerging markets ETFs. No need to cash out 401k.</p>

<p>This feels like a thought exercise rather than an argument.<p>By your logic, it's impossible to prove that a car is driving at 60mph. There could be an error in the speedometer which makes it impossible to verify that said car is going at the speed. You can get asymptomatically close to being sure that you're driving at 60 mph but you can never be 100% sure.<p>This is useless and serves no purpose.</p>
