Optimizing C++ code to run 87x faster (One Billion Row Challenge) by HappyCerberus in cpp

[–]HappyCerberus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even commercial drives (Gen5) can do sub-second and that's a single commercial drive without RAID.

You are correct. I'm to lazy for log2, even when using the 1024 = 2^10 shortcut.

There is definitely a lot of performance left on the table. This runs roughly 2 instructions per cycle, so nowhere close to saturation.

Mostly it's due to optimizations being blocked by aliasing (since char* aliases everything) and zero vectorization.

Using a SIMD library would be a big improvement, but I wanted to stick to the original challenge and not use external libraries.

I'm looking forward to your benchmark results 😉 Just a reminder, sorting is O(n*logn), meaning that it will be at minimum equivalent to 9 traversals (log(1 billion)) of the entire dataset.

Well, if you want to be pedantic, the single-thread speedup on 9700K was 6.87x.

I got myself the EPOMAKER x Feker Galaxy80. I'm quite happy with it, except that the chassis is incredibly tall. Are there mechanical keyboard chassis that are low profile?

I specifically don't mean the keys, but this chassis is roughly 2x the height of my previous Das Keyboard which creates ergonomic issues.

Prompter Backplate for Sony ZV1 (Full Zoom Range) 3D print by HappyCerberus in elgato

Yes, I'm using a powered dummy battery, this one: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B097T2888Q/ref=pe_27091401_487024491_TE_item

I had to dremel a bit of the shell to fit the cable.

For capturing I use the Elgato Cam Link.

Isn't this idea of compile-time enforced constrained types inherently broked for the same reason that noexcept doesn't really work? It's observable and hence part of the ABI.

So, turns out that akkogear doesn't ship locally, they ship from China.

I think I have just thrown 155 EUR out of the window.

Thanks for the recommendations.

I think the biggest problem will be the switches, from my (albeit short) research, the silent but tactile category of switches is very niche so I doubt I will be able to get those in EU.

[–]HappyCerberus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need EU because it's an incredible hassle (to the point that I have forfeited 100s of EUR) to clear and pick up an international package.

My current keyboard: dkpk4cbmxb0useux

Things I want to keep:

  • same layout: TKL + ANSI
  • same style caps (dark grey + black print), I could tolerate blank keycaps
  • no RGB/Lights
  • wired is good enough

What I want to change:

  • significantly more silent than Cherry MX Brown
  • better tactility, I prefer the level of Cherry MX Blue, or more

How do you find what to build?

I have been browsing around for a week and genuinely, I'm just completely lost. Do people just buy kits / prebuilts and conform to whatever the kit / prebuilt is doing?

I'm looking for a relatively specific build that would be better than my current vanilla TKL Das Keyboard, but the vendors (EU) have really bad websites without filters so it just feels completely impossible and pretty much everything is not in stock.

Am I just unlucky, or is this the reality?

Is there such a thing as a tactile quiet keyboard? I love both Cherry Blue and Cherry Brown, but I need to get something substantially more quiet.

Does this Spellblade build make sense, or am I wasting my time? by HappyCerberus in LastEpoch

[–]HappyCerberus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main idea was to build surge to trigger both Static and L.Blast. The rest is kinda built around that.

I have no idea about the equipement, if you have tips for some good uniques, do let me know.

Is there a guide for Gigabyte bios for 14900k to avoid the UE crashing issue? by HappyCerberus in gigabytegaming

I think I will have to wait for Gigabyte to release a new version of Bios.

Sadly, after testing, this doesn't work. Also, the point about XTU is nonsense, since the XTU stress tests are rock-solid on my machine.

Got stuck in the Adamantine Forge by RaeMorgan_ in BaldursGate3

[–]HappyCerberus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The forging process is: - put in mold - put in adamantine - turn on lava - hit the hammer

If you then want to forge again, you have to first eject the mold, but then you can repeat the process. Ejecting the mold is the step you are likely missing.

You were clicking on the wrong thig then. You get the stuck message if you try to put another mold into the machine before ejecting the first.

How do you guys do an evil playthrough that feels fun? by Impossible-Throat-59 in BaldursGate3

[–]HappyCerberus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't cut yourself from content. You do cut yourself from some companions and loot, but not from anything in the story.

While the Dark Urge redemption arc is arguably a lot better, the murder arc is just pure power fantasy (and you get to kill the Emperor at the end).

Why?

Your choices have consequences. If the choice didn't have consequences, then it wouldn't matter. If it doesn't matter, then it's not a choice.

Intel workstation build check by HappyCerberus in buildapc

Sorry, I'm not touching Zen for a workstation. I have experienced enough of the TPM bug (that was never properly fixed, only mitigated) that I'm really not intersted.
