I think there are still innovations at that layer like the Addition is All You Need paper.

Reminds me of all the dark fiber laid in the 1990s before DWDM made much of the laid fiber redundant. If there is an AI bust, we will have a glut of surplus hardware.

The inverse problem is here too: > int partition_branchless(int* arr, int low, int high) {... for (int j = low; j < high; j++) { ... }... } That for loop is just a sugared while loop which is just a sugared cmp and jmp
