Instruction level parallelism will make extra shift free. Other than this it needs to be benched and might depend on cpu/arch. I don't care enough to bench and optimize further.

I think you're right. Even better. Did you have time to bench it, etc.? I see what you mean by length. I just skimmed over the text originally as I don't have time for rather lame problems like this. I'd just add 3 bits of le

It's unclear what is in the highest byte, so I assume not 0x000x0y0z, but 0xab0x0y0z where ab is unknown (in the past comment I used XX for this). If highest byte is known, then sure, even better.

Might be wrong but this shortcut corrupts the lower bits with garbage from the higher byte. The lookup table can detect some, but not all errors, so yeah, it relies on valid input.

Yes, but also - they lie about the inflation and force the public to hold the bonds anyway (aka. financial repression, yield curve control).

I'm sorry but most of your comment has nothing to do to what I said, and seems like random rambling. Except: > 3.2% is absolutely peanuts to what it was some 3-4 decades ago. But 3-4 decades ago governments, all institutions and eco

What's amazing about it if the debt increased more in the absolute terms? :D . If I max out credit cards I can at least show spending (GDP) growth at least the same as what I borrowed... How is it not obvious to everyone that this is t

it's one XOR, SHL, OR, SHR, AND, on some archs the shifts might come free with the other instruction. I'd expect it to be faster. a = v ^ 0x30303030lu // normalize to digits 0xXX0a0b0c b = (a << 12) | a /&#x2

Exxon is a private company so some basic level of competency can be assumed. The Fed is basically bunch of incompetent academic buffoons.

Would use XOR 0x30303030lu, then OR with a value shifted left 12 bits, take bits 24..12 and lookup in 4k pre-computed lookup array.

Features of modern CPUs don't really prevent them from real time usage, afaik. As long as something is bounded and can be reasoned about it can be used to build a real time system. You can always assume no cache hits and alikes, maximu

Arguably Xi was a design-bloat. I mean - it was a research project. Nothing wrong with it, but the community got super-excited about it, ignoring ... well, the pragmatic reality. Any time it was mentioned it talked about efficiently editing
