It's a great talk, I just wish there was a good focused textual version of it, as it is a very long video to recommend to others. Very worth it, but a big investment.
It's a great example of what I think of as vertical integration for performance. As you go through the talk you can understand why all these abstractions exist and why they have to be so generic. But when you have a specific use case, you can vertically integrate from the problem definition all the way down to SIMD and reap big rewards.
Be the change you want to see. Post a transcript on your own website.
Yes, I will do that when I have time one of these years. I did mean to caveat that in my post but forgot. I mainly wanted to make the vertical integration point.
Do it today or you'll end up never doing it.
Make sure to link back to the source, of course, and don't pass it off as your own words.
Doesn't YouTube provide one automatically?
A transcript is not what I really want, video and writing aren't the same format. I've read transcripts of Casey's videos before.
Not in any way that's practically usable.
