(BTW, "lowerer", while a bit awkward, is a good name for "converts into a low-level representation".)

Thanks, that makes sense! I carried into this my definition of scheduling as ordering and/or synchronizing the computation of kernels, or materialized buffers, based on a topo-sort of inputs-outputs.

But it might well be worth it! I'm warming up to things as I get more familiar with tinygrad. Maybe the steeper learning curve pays off and my original comment was unwarranted.

(2) Before PR 7065, engine/schedule.py is preparing indexing aka. movement ops, is integrating indexing with computation. Why is the file called "schedule" when it doesn't do scheduling? I probably mis-generalized from this, to the feeling that it's surprising where things happen in tinygrad.

(1) Axis representation combines user-facing buffer-specific semantics (index into a tensor), with operation-specific semantics (whether axis is reduced), with tunable computation details (global mem vs. local mem, whether computation is upcasted, when the reduction happens: local vs late).

A steeper learning curve because often a single representation interacts with various stages of processing. Two examples below.

So how to square this with Tesla's published statistics: FSD users have half the accidents of non FSD users? Until a few months ago -- certainly during the reporting here -- FSD was only granted to people with good safety score. That would cut inferring that FSD is good, but still a defeater.
