@rygorous @barrelshifter I think this and the ADD -> OR thing are downstream of a bit of an obsession Chris had for SimplifyDemandedBits transformations in the early days.

@rygorous @barrelshifter I think SimplifyDemandedBits was an area where GCC didn’t do much optimization at the time, so leaning heavily into it made LLVM look more compelling in microbenchmarks.

Does anyone have resources for teaching modern digital literacy to tweens / middle schoolers? Particularly interested in teaching them to be in control of their own online experience, not at the whim of algorithms.

Boosts welcome, I’m having a hard time finding resources that are both up-to-date and not possible-AI-drivel.

@regehr I wrote a tracing JIT for Brainfuck using LLVM a really long time ago: https://github.com/resistor/BrainFTracing

@regehr sounds like an extra credit opportunity for some enterprising undergrad 🤪
