50 years of shutting down American manufacturing has ensured that strategy is no longer viable for us. The US is a tech and service economy, and there is no way to go back in time without racing to the bottom of the world economically.
A chip that I played with a long time ago can only be programmed through 32-bit register access (limitation of the ARM bus). The address space for I/O peripherals can run out quickly and it's a hassle to move or expand them later. So a lot of small values get tightly packed into the register map. Here's one used for filter coefficients for the display.
Horizontal scaling filter is a 6-tap filter with 4-bit positional phase.
* Coefficients 0 and 5 are 3-bit signed value ranging from -4 to 3.
* Coefficients 1 and 4 are 5-bit signed value ranging from -16 to 15.
* Coefficients 2 and 3 are 8-bit unsigned value ranging from 0 to 128.
* Coefficient 0 is the multiplier for the earliest pixel (P0) in the group of 6-pixel and
* Coefficient 5 is the multiplier for the latest pixel (P5) in the group. The output pixel positional phase is defined as centered in P2 if the positional phase is 0 or proportionally in between P2 and P3 if the positional phase is larger than 0.

Great news for Canada, Australia, UK, and EU. They have a vibrant tech culture and it will suddenly get a new influx of labor that can bring about a lot of profit for many businesses.
Trump is playing a loser's strategy at globalization. Ultimately the stakes for him personally are low. But your average working class American is going to be hit hard when the money dries up for the fastest grown and fourth largest industry by revenue in the US, the information technology industry.
I think anyone saying that the shooter clearly belongs to one party or the other at this point is lying. And I've seen plenty of it on both sides, including you, right now.
If you can't see the shooter is FAR LEFT...then you are either willingly blind or not listening at all.
His notes, his relatives telling his history, FFS he's fucking a gay furry guy trans.....
If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck....
The system seems kind of ridiculous to me. I had a score of 850 back in June, and lost 24 points when I applied to get prequalified for a mortgage so I could put together an offer letter for a house.
Why? Because AI is the wave of the future. It's about capturing users and market share.
Do users actually want any of this? No. Because it's not a useful feature to any of us users.
But users are going to tolerate almost anything to have a free web browser.
Didn't you have ads in the 20th century?
Well, sure, but not in our dreams.
Only on TV and radio. And in magazines and movies and at ball games, on buses and milk cartons and T-shirts and bananas and written on the sky.
But not in dreams. No, sir-ee!
I must be a defective American. I don't understand why so many people tolerate ads in their Smart TV, on their Kindle sleep screen, in their children's classrooms, and now on their rather costly appliances. I don't even like having ads on paid TV or streaming services. Or ads on my web browser (that's MY bandwidth you're streaming video w/ audio ads to)
It's a twisted idea that every activity in life has to be related to marketing and commercialized. Some kind of hyper-capitalism, where we double down on consumerism in order to continue feeding the machine, despite the diminishing benefits.
That is a good post except for one thing. Charlie Kirk's killer isn't "left"
I guess you haven't been watching the news for the days AFTER the shooting.....this guy might have been raised "right", but he left that awhile back, was shacking up with a furry, trans guy....and both had pushed back on their families showing extreme hate for anything remotely conservative....hell the dude wrote shit in his notes, his texts and even on his bullet casings....
The left tried pushing the shooter was maga right off to bat, but that has long since been disproved.
It's gotten so far that some Republicans are trying to back away because they realize that those laws being used to censor "the left" could easily be used to censor them for the exact same reason. The big fun being to see how the Supreme Court will allow the censorship but then twist themselves into knots trying to deny the same rights if a (D) gets to be President.
The LEFT was ALREADY doing this....especially during the Obama and Biden admins....Obama using direct federal power/branches directory, like the IRS.
Biden, with DOJ going after people they didn't like and directly pressuring Social Media to deplatform people and cut banking abilities... Look I don't agree with recent Reps suggesting HARD to have people lose jobs/censored, but it is different than direct federal manipulations with actual branches actively doing things, behind the scenes, etc....those backdoor communications with Twitter and FAcebook are far different than someone on the FCC saying bad things about Kimmel....but they didn't force ABC to can him....
Never mind the other deaths like January 6
Jan 6ths...really?
Let's see....1 person was killed that day at the Capitol...the lady trying to climb in a window show and killed by a guard.
That's your example??
We've had guns freely available in the US for a LONG time.
Remember it's only been since the mid 80s since we had background checks....since I believe 1986 that would could'n't buy a modern NEW full auto machine gun.
Hell, I remember in the 70's, you didn't have to go to a "Gun store" to buy a gun, they sold rifles at places like Western Auto, and your local hardware store.
It wasn't long ago you could order a gun via a catalog and have it mailed to your front door without any kind of background check.
And we didn't have the "mass" shootings like you see today....
There were a few, yes, but FEW and far between...no one was shooting up schools all the time or the like.
We have more gun control today than ever...and the problem seems to be getting worse.
It isn't the guns....it's broken people. What's the coincidence?
More broken and single parent homes. Raising generations to not properly value the human life....
Let's try to figure out what changed in PEOPLE since the 80's and earlier....
A couple hours before my post here Kimmel just got drummed off the air for saying roughly this
No, Kimmel got drummed off the air for lying on air saying that the shooter was a conservative MAGA supporter..."one of their own", long after official statements and evidence have plainly stated the opposite.
He was trying to still promote the leftists lies that came out early on this to confuse the public.
addressing the actual problem of lax gun control.
You know...I have a fuck ton of guns.
And not ONCE have they spontaneously jumped up, aimed and fired themselves at me or anyone or anything around me.....not at home, or in the car or when carrying when out and about.
Guns are nothing but tools with no intrinsic evil or danger.
It's the fucking loons out there getting amped up to take out "evil" people on "the other side"....
Same people that would run a car through a crowd...mass knifing....home made explosives...etc.
Why do you insist on blaming the tool when it is people that are the fucking problem.
Eliminate one tool...and people will...Uh....Find a way.
If you want something with the power of a phone....buy a fucking phone....no?
Matter cannot be created or destroyed, nor can it be returned without a receipt.
