@ZachWeinersmith @pbloem I loved this treatment but it’s definitely written specifically for math folks. I will say it could be worth trying again, maybe even after reading something else because it provides lots of real math insight and understanding the how/why that is often dropped in favor just teaching the algorithms in some other textbooks
@ela I wrote a blog post years ago that shows all the intermediate steps of performing this optimization: https://blog.witchoflight.com/2018/llvm-hearts-peano-addition/
LLVM 💖s Peano Addition

I am surprised to discover that LLVM can optimize the standard peano definition of addition, so I set out to investigate.

Wow, that vampire character on Sesame Street is really counter intuitive.
@noahlz “changes” is a strong word for what this is lol
@noahlz finally! Hopefully soon there’s a fun new json serialization lib we can migrate to
The sampling visualizations in this video are *so* good: The Most Iconic Electronic Music Sample of Every Year (1990-2023). Includes tracks from Dee-Lite, Fatboy Slim, Daft Punk, Burial, and Fred again. https://kottke.org/24/11/the-most-iconic-electronic-music-sample-of-every-year-1990-2023
The Most Iconic Electronic Music Sample of Every Year (1990-2023)

Oh man this is so great: electronic music sample breakdowns from 1990 until the present day. The visualizations on these are fan

@noahlz This isn’t really a post-mortem. It doesn’t explain what went wrong and why. It’s just a high level overview of the component that caused issues. Other than that it just says this is normal and we will keep doing this. Like wtf?
@bigzaphod yeah I had the same thought. But if anything, I felt it got worse in the second season
@bigzaphod same. I was watching Voyager at the same time and the difference is stark. Voyager has dozens of people walking around in the background in a much smaller engineering and SNW is Spock brooding alone in a warehouse
@bigzaphod Strange New Worlds is terrible with this. There are scenes in beautiful giant sets on the Enterprise and is just like Spock and Uhura trying to fix something.
