That XOR Trick (2020)
I think most people think of XOR as “difference of bits”, which it is.

FWIW, I mostly think of it as addition in Z_2^n.

That is more traditional. It's addition without carry.

Although in Z_2^n, "addition without carry" and "subtraction without carry" are the same operation.
