Neither? What makes you think it was supposed to be a benchmark for either. Amongst other thing weights are based on the value of shares that are traded publicly, not market cap.

S&P 500 weights are based the value of shares available on the public market not the market cap. Based on that SpaceX will be nowhere near the top 10. Do you think their valuations wouldn't fall dramatically if they were willing to

You want to turn S&P 500 to a total market index. Why? That was never its purpose.

Modern China isn't exactly totalitarian though and US is rapidly converging with China in that regard anyway.

I don't think this is true at all? A ballistic missile is way harder and more expensive to shutdown (they are flying at Mach 5-10 while you can outrun that type of drone with a mid tier car on the freeway) Shahed is very primitive in g

They didn't invent it quickly enough i.e. they generally lagged behind Eurasian civilizations by several thousand years so by 1500 they were approximately still stuck in the bronze age or so.

Yes, exactly, that's what I said. There is significant overhead but is it the only or the main reason why these apps are so slow and inefficient? It's perfectly easy to write slow and inefficient code in C++ as well...

by ywvcbk 7mo ago
No, compared to everything else in those apps. i.e. if they are writing extremely bloated Electron apps why would the native version be less slow and bloated? I mean Electron's overhead is mostly fixed (it's still a lot but its po

The overhead added by Electron is hardly that significant at this point, you can still use it to write significantly more efficient apps

Exception in those days it took a lot of time and effort to build software and you couldn't just do it by answering a few multi choice questions on a phone.

Was there a single laptop chip included in the benchmark? They are comparing a 5w CPU with 80-200w ones.. which is entirely pointless.
