No, because `lui` results in an absolute address, not a position independent one.
The `auipc/addi` sequence results in 0x3004 + whatever the address of the `auipc` instruction itself is. If the `auipc` is at address 0 then the result will be the same.
Exactly, but the text has the same instruction sequence twice and the parent correctly indicated that the first copy should have used "lui" to illustrate the problem you mentioned and the second copy does use "auipc" to illustrate the fix you mentioned.
