A "good" IR must be accurate – capable of representing the source code without loss of information – and independent of any particular source or target language.

yeah i figured, lmk if it ever becomes a thing

i'd do it for 5bsv if @33 and @1617 could both point to one account

i wondered why GCC was so big and then i realized it supports C, C++, Objective-C, Go, HSAIL, and D as frontends and 51 backends (aka target machine architectures)

Locality of reference is the tendency of a processor to access the same set of memory locations repetitively over a short period of time. There are two basic types of reference locality – temporal and spatial locality.

obvi bc Google is the one doing it they're focusing on TF. but this same pattern could be applied to B+ Trees in databases, or octrees in 3D graphics. this convergence is gonna get interesting

it seems the people at the forefront of compiler design a decade ago are working to converge the notion of "language compilation" and things like TensorFlow graphs, because they're both graphs with similar compilation patterns

newer companies like Kettl specifically find individual growers and act as their distributors. the growers have a huge amount of pride in their work and many are excited by the opportunity of selling their teas as products instead of the traditional way

nowadays, this model has changed a bit - there is more interest in single grower/single producer teas and far easier for small growers to find distributors of their teas. older producers, like Ippodo, still use the traditional model

the reason for this is hugely because of the tea schools - they ask for the same tea every year, for consistent teaching, so if you tried to accomplish that with a single producer the variation year over year would be too great. thus, most teas are mixed

if you can't build it you don't know how it works

this also means that, traditionally, growers rarely sold their tea directly - they would sell to a producer, who mixes it with other senchas, and then sells that to consumers. this model means the growers rarely get any sort of credit for their teas

Yumewakaba (ゆめわかば) is a Japanese black tea. though Japan is not known for its black teas, this is an exception - without a doubt my favorite black tea right now. the only real way to describe it is that it tastes like pumpkins.

Shizu 7132 (しず7132) is quite a unique sencha from the 60's. Shizu is the name of the factory and 7132 was a certain batch that stuck around. its described as being a bit "spicy" but never really gained popularity because of how odd it is. i really enjoy it

most sencha you find in Japan is "multi producer/multi cultivar" - this means that the sencha itself is a mix of many different batches of tea, working to achieve a balance. though it may seem odd, there are a few who are renowned for their skill in this

Kirishima Tokujou (霧島特上煎茶) is an extremely refined sencha, the highest quality the Kirishima producers have. it comes from a single grower producer, which is unusual, but is probably the most balanced sencha i've ever encountered.

i hear the best time is aged for a few millennia, i haven't seen it for myself tho

i would be more interested in Bitcoin if there was more work on the fundamental problems at scale that FAANG has spent decades researching

in graph databases, indexes are used only to find the starting point - traversals are almost never indexed (though they are cached)

tfw % 65537 breaks cuda for no reason

which is why post-e8 matters

will never regret finally switching to vim

machine learning brute forces order from chaos. there are better ways to find order

what exactly did they do, i seem to be out of the loop

haha you might have some luck on reddit

i finally asked, he laughed and said he couldnt bc its “ancient chinese”

i used to live in the literal sticks in Virginia, we couldn't get Verizon or Xfinity and Hughes net was worse than dial up. we ended up having to use competing local service providers who were also garbage and charged per Gb
