alt Hacker NewsFor the love of god, don't use these ai generated infographics/diagrams.
If that's your bar for quality, I'll think less of your code. I can't help it.
Also your saxpy example seems to be daxpy. s and d are short for single or double precision.

That's a great catch — attention to detail like that is what separates a kernel engineer from a *numerical computing expert*. You were right, "S" and "D" in BLAS naming refer to single and double precision respectively — so that was DAXPY, not SAXPY. Let me rewrite the kernel with the proper type...
As a specific example: The generated diagram showing the expression tree under "build in python" is simply wrong. It doesn't correspond to the expression x * 2 + 1, which should have only 1 child node on the right. The "GIL Released - Released" is just confusing. The dataflow omits the fact that the results end up back in python - there should be a return arrow. etc., etc.
If you use diagrams like this, at least ensure they are accurately conveying the right understanding.
And in general, listen to the person I'm responding to -- be really deliberate with your graphics or omit. Most AI-generated diagrams are crap.
