See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AND-OR-invert#/media/File:AOI21_complex_vs_standard_gates.svg
for an example.

AOI (and their dual, OAI) gates are quite cool.

Sure, if you design a chip on a silicon wafer you have much more
freedom.

I thought that some designs used intentional clock skew. If the 
natural places to divide pipeline stages results in different 
logic depths, a skewed clock would enable some stages to borrow 
time from others (I think).

Perhaps this is not called 'skew'.

(I have also read that pipeline stage delay can be kept constant 
and area/power traded with time, i.e., a normally longer stage 
can spend area/power to reduce delay and a normally shorter 
stage can save area/power by spending the delay slack.)

In the not so distant past, Intel would use as many as 10 clock edges
to carefully time logic blocks. I think <essentially> everyone else
uses only 2 clock edges {rising and falling} and most only use {rising}.
 
> Perhaps this is not called 'skew'.

Skew is uncontrolled displacement of clock edge {early or late}. skew
is only harmful when a sending block and a receiving block have different
skew leaving the logic insufficient time to do its function.

Offset is controlled displacement of clock edge.

All sorts of engineering tricks are played "around the clock edge"
to make timing.

A more general problem is the absurd belief that a document written some 
250 years ago (with a few minor updates) is some kind of holy word that 
should be revered today as though the writers were prophets that knew 
the future of mankind, and all that is needed is for the priests (or 
lawyers) to interpret their perfect words.

The American constitution was not a bad idea at the time, based on the 
desires of the "founding fathers" - keeping the right people (i.e., the 
founding fathers and their friends and peers) in power, keeping the 
wrong people away (like poor people, or slaves, or the folks that lived 
in the land before Europeans turned up) from influence, and making a 
political and legal system that was reasonably fair and reasonably 
practical for that day and age.

The world has moved on.  The USA would be a better place if the powers 
that be listened to what people want (like banning most guns, a national 
health service, actual democracy where everyone's vote counts the same, 
etc.) instead of arguing over how many angels can dance on a head of a 
pin as decreed by the constitution authors.

That's just my two cents - coming from someone in a country almost 
completely free of gun violence, where guns are only for hunting or 
sport, and where we have far more real-world freedoms than the USA.

But, AFAIK, the UK is the place that went and banned:
   Sharp points on knives;
   Sharp points on scissors;
   Buying solder without having certifications;
     So, it is effectively sold black-market in small amounts,
       to the electronics hobbyists.
   ...
And, where a person can be arrested, for stuff they say on social media 
(or "thought crime" as some are calling it);
Where corporations can lead search-and-seizure operations for claimed IP 
violations;
...


So, sorta like California but worse...

California apparently banned the 60/40 lead/tin stuff IIRC, but still 
allows people to freely possess lead-free solder (so people apparently 
need to smuggle the 60/40 into CA if they want to use it). Everywhere 
else, 60/40 is OK. Well, and CA has the "age verification" controversy, etc.

Could be wrong, this is from memory and stuff I heard on the internet.


Then again, not like I can point too many fingers, the state I am living 
in has (effectively) banned legal access to adult websites and similar 
(so, it is like, one can light one up, but it is back to "the old days" 
of mostly needing to torrent these kind of videos, on the ISPs that also 
don't block the ability to download torrents, ...).


But, technically, now using an ISP that is seemingly more open:
Also now has IPv6 support, etc;
Unlike old ISP that was IPv4 only and put the user inside multiple 
levels of NAT (and had annoying an level of traffic filtering, outgoing 
connections only and seemingly only on whitelisted port ranges);
...



But, anyways, this whole sub-thread wasn't really the intended result.




In other news, I found a compiler bug (ABI related) that was causing XG3 
to have worse code density than XG2.

Some of the ABI code for dealing with prologs/epilogs hadn't been 
updated and wasn't correctly dealing with the RISC-V ABI; so was 
generating functions with bigger prologs/epilogs than necessary (it was 
"failing safely", but still trying to apply rules related to the XG1/XG2 
ABI to the RISC-V ABI in a way that caused more instructions to be 
emitted; it basically having incorrect register masks and dealing with 
it by often taking "just save/restore everything" approach whenever the 
RV function tried to preserve a register number that had been a scratch 
register in XG1/XG2, which was fairly common).

Well, to keep it short, it was basically emitting instructions for 
saving/restoring a lot more registers than needed whenever an edge case 
was triggered (trying to save a register which was callee-save in RV/XG3 
but scratch in XG1/XG2).

The scenario being "not ideal" for either binary size or performance.

...


After fixing this bug (well, and re-enabling the ADDU.L 2RI 
instructions), XG3 now beats XG2, so updated code-density ranking now 
(best to worse, Doom .text size):
   XG1        (279K)
   RV64GC+JX  (286K)
   XG3        (289K)
   XG2        (293K)
   RV64G+JX   (323K)
   ...

Can note that for an XG3 build of Heretic, it is 267K, where currently 
Heretic is giving smaller binaries, but also has less 
random/experimental stuff. Seems for Heretic, the XG3 build is now 
currently smaller than XG1 (267K vs 280K), currently in the top place 
for smallest binary among the current target-set.

Note: All builds here using a static-linked C library.


Bugfix seemed to shave off roughly 30K of prolog/epilog code in the RV 
ABI based cases.


Errm, nevermind if for both Doom and Heretic I did go and glue on random 
stuff like support for 3D glasses and similar. Not yet ported the logic 
to Hexen, but this is probably a bit of a gimmick anyways.

I am not really part of the MAGA crowd.
I am not really into politics in general...

But, this is still what people say online about the UK and CA and similar...

If you mean to say that you think I am also part of the MAGA crowd (or 
idolize DJT or JDV), I will disagree...


But, if you mean it in the sense that I have no particular expertise in 
international law or similar, then probably true enough (not exactly 
that I have much basis to disagree on this point).

Most of what I have gathered on this topic has mostly been from the 
"streams of random people talking about stuff on the internet" (usually 
mixed in with other stuff, particularly if doom scrolling on X or 
similar...).


And, sometimes, one can have something to play in the background while 
they are working on code or similar, that doesn't require all that much 
attention, ... A lot of times, YouTube videos where people just sort of 
ramble on about some topic can work well, when not just listening to 
music or similar.


But, in general, rarely did people really say much about either the UK 
or CA, if they talk about them at all, these are a few places that 
people seem to like to rip on.

The other side here being much more into going on about the whole thing 
in Gaza (and human rights violations, ...), TX oppressing reproductive 
rights, various places opposing people's ability to express their 
preferred gender identity, etc. These two areas rarely overlap though on 
a single topic. Though, admittedly, I don't really understand the whole 
"gender identity" thing all that well, doesn't strongly interact with my 
own experience.


Well, and the places they do overlap is usually in conflict over the 
perception of public figures like DJT (like whether he is hero or demon, 
...), and similar...

Almost all countries other than the United States limit freedom of speech 
by excluding the incitment of hatred towards minority groups.
This is perhaps a natural result of Europe having had World War II fought 
on its own soil, and so they consider it a matter of survival to prevent 
the rise of another movement similar to Nazism.

Given current political trends in Europe, I have to say it's a pity they 
didn't think that one way to prevent the rise of bigoted extremist 
movements would have been not to have such a liberal immigration policy 
that the demographic consequences would end up being an annoyance to a lot 
of ordinary people not previously inclined to bigotry.

OK. This at least seems like a sensible place where limits could be 
imposed, like if a person is advocating for violence against a group of 
people, or promoting criminal activity (of the sort where actual 
peoples' health or well-being is concerned).

Though, the line here gets fuzzy.


I think the claim though was that people were getting arrested for 
things being said that had "offended the political elites" or 
disagreeing with the official party line on various policies or something.

But, yeah, if it is people promoting doing stuff like what happened in 
WWII, this is more understandable.


But, yeah, I guess in the US, people going around and doing the whole 
"neo-Nazi" and "white supremacist" thing has become a bit of an issue...

This sort of thing can get worrying sometimes. In recent years it does 
seem as if the racists have been winning here.



Sorta reminds me of some years ago, people were making a lot of fuss 
about BO, like saying here wasn't really an American and was actually 
allying with the Islamists and stuff...

But, like, there were no real scandals going on, and it was mostly 
uneventful. Then, with DJT, it is like it all turns into a raging 
crap-storm (with an endless stream of infighting, scandals, etc) and 
everyone else is like "Basically cool I guess, keep up the good work".


To admit something, though possibly an unpopular/controversial position, 
kinda hoped KH would have won. Had I known how big of a crap-storm it 
was all going to be, might have taken a stronger stance on the issue (vs 
just going along passively...). Alas... Though, possibly it would have 
still sucked either way.


But, yeah, politics is kinda confusing and sucks in this way.

Possibly true.


 From what I had heard, usual issue is mostly that people from the 
middle east come in and start bombing stuff and trying to push for 
Sharia law everywhere.

I think also there was a thing where Germany realized this was not cool 
and basically put a ban on allowing anyone to try to impose Sharia law.


But, say, there is a limit here, like one person trying to impose their 
religious rules on others isn't cool (nor is them trying to forcibly 
convert others, etc).


Or, at least within the US context, this makes me think that the whole 
thing of trying to enforce pro-life policies, or putting people through 
"gay conversion therapy" and such, may be doing more harm than good.

Like, in terms of trying to control peoples' moral behavior, it is 
making the situation worse for them than had they been left to make 
their own choices in these area; even if one still views these things as 
moral faults, and would similarly assume keeping the personal freedoms 
to consider them as moral faults. Like, the line being not so much what 
a person thinks or does for themselves, but where it crosses to imposing 
on others.

Complete nonsense.

But both the UK and Norway have restrictions on people carrying around 
deadly weapons of all sorts.  The freedom not to be stabbed, shot, or 
otherwise injured or killed trumps the freedom to carry such weapons.

> And, where a person can be arrested, for stuff they say on social media

Only thoughtless people are calling it that.  You've been watching tool 
much Fox News - a channel that describes itself as "entertainment" 
without any obligation to tell the truth.

The freedom of innocent people not to suffer abuse, hatred and prejudice 
trumps the freedom of nasty little sods who think they have the right to 
abuse others.  And inciting hatred or encouraging others to commit 
criminal behaviour is just as much a crime in the USA as the UK.

> Where corporations can lead search-and-seizure operations for claimed IP 
> violations;

No, they can't.

And in European countries, unlike the USA, corporations don't get to lie 
and cheat then claim "freedom of speech".

We are free to live safely.  We have the freedom to send our kids to 
school without worrying if they will survive the day.  We have the 
freedom of knowing that we won't lose our jobs just because the boss is 
having a bad hair day.  And losing a job does not mean losing our 
health.  And we have freedom to vote, knowing that votes count equally. 
(Well, the UK parliament elections still have a way to go here, but the 
Scottish and Norwegian elections have fair votes.)

No country is perfect by any means, but Europeans live far freer lives. 
We might not have the freedom to own guns so our kids can accidentally 
kill each other, but overall we win out.

Remember, freedoms are always a balance, not an absolute.  Lots of types 
of freedom for one person reduce other freedoms for other people.

I can't answer for California, but if I want leaded solder I can just 
order some.  But the regulations against the use of lead in general are 
a good thing - the freedom to drink water without lead trumps the 
freedom of a handful of people to use cheaper and lower temperature 
soldering irons.

Fair enough.

Later went and asked Gemini about it, it said that the laws restrict 
carrying things with sharp tips (like knives and similar) rather than 
possession of them (say, at a person's house).

Apparently, the idea that it was a ban on all pointy things was an 
over-generalization that floats around on the internet.

Actually, mostly, it has been a mix of YouTube videos/shorts and 
Twitter/X threads...

OK.

Some people were making it sound like they were opposing peoples' 
abilities to have and express opinions in general (though they didn't 
usually specify on what sorts of topics).


Originally, seemed like, it could have been something like, say:
   Person says something bad about a political leader or similar;
   Political leader sees it and feels insulted and has person arrested.
Or, something of this sort, ...



But, yeah, in the US people usually say the First Amendment guarantees 
peoples' freedom to have and express opinions about whatever.

Though, OTOH, I guess things like social media platforms still have the 
ability to ban people from the platform if they go around spreading 
hate-speech or similar.

Apparently I guess that was a problem in the past with DJT, then he got 
banned off of Twitter, then he started his own social network, then Elon 
bought Twitter and renamed it X, and DJT got back on there, ...

Saw a thing not too long ago talking about how apparently Sega left some 
Nintendo devkits in an old office building, then abandoned the building, 
and later the building owners sold off all the old junk that was left in 
the buildings.

Story goes that the guy who bought up some of the old junk posted about 
it on the internet, and then Sega + Nintendo + UK Police went in and 
arrested the guy and took all his stuff (then they released the guy, but 
he didn't get the stuff back), because the idea was that him having the 
devkits was considered as theft of intellectual property.


Eg (finding a few videos talking about one of the incidents):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy9Eb8J0xGk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU040CTdJI0

There was another video I saw in the past talking about it originally, 
but I didn't see them now (haven't watched through the videos I found 
now to compare details).

...



Well, contrast I guess if people post leaked closed-source code on 
GitHub or similar, the companies that own the code may issue DMCA 
take-downs or similar, but will not generally raid the person's house.

There was some guy though (with some balls) who was releasing 
ported/modded versions of some previously released SuperMario64 code.


Not personally inclined to look at it or mess with it though.

Where I am, solder is sold on Amazon or similar...

Had seen videos where people made it seem like solder was some sort of 
black-market contraband.

Looking around, apparently the restrictions were specifically on 
lead-based solder though, rather than restricting all solder.


In the case of California, did see something not too long ago saying 
that they were trying to get something passed to ban personal ownership 
of 3D printers and CNC machines.

Though, I didn't see anyone else talking about this, so it seemed 
unconfirmed.


There is a lot more talking going on about the CA "OS age verification" 
bull, and now something saying that the US federal people are now 
looking into something similar (groan, this has a risk to potentially 
ruin open source and make everything suck...). Hopefully it goes the way 
of past proposals for bans on OSS and RISC-V and similar, ...

So, not like US is exactly perfect either...

Possibly.

Then again, I guess a lot of the news I had seen had also been fed 
through the lens of video game commentators and similar.

I don't think any LLM is going to be a good source of information here. 
Gemini might not be as bad as Grok, but AI will often miss the point, 
and be heavily influenced by the kinds of drivel that is often published 
on the net.

Basically, the laws say that if you are caught with a large screwdriver 
that you are using to stab or threaten people, you will be charged and 
treated as though you were carrying a knife for that purpose.  Older 
laws banned carrying knifes and the like in public places - newer laws 
target weapons, where a "weapon" is anything that you use or plan to use 
for violence or threats of violence.

Exactly.  Social media rewards people who greatly exaggerate things to 
make them sound dramatic.  And political extremists love fear-mongering, 
with a total disregard for the truth or subtleties of reality.

If he were still alive, Goebbels would have banned Twatter for having 
too much right-wing propaganda.  It is not healthy to use it as a source 
of information unless you want the calender dates for KKK meetings.

YouTube shorts are not much better.  Research has shown again and again 
that social media algorithms exaggerate from people's opinions and 
interests - they provide echo chambers that move you further and further 
from central or balanced positions.  It is somewhat inevitable - 
balanced opinions are not particularly interesting or engaging, so they 
are not popular and don't generate revenue for the social media platform 
or the content creator.  The real world is seldom as exciting as 
people's imaginations.

I'd recommend looking at a reality check site like snopes.com to get an 
idea of how easily people get duped.  Begin smart isn't enough (you are 
a very smart guy) - you need to understand how you are being 
manipulated.  Ask yourself "Cui bono" ?  Who is benefiting, in money, 
power or influence?

That does happen in some countries.  There are plenty of dictatorships, 
or partial dictatorships, where that kind of thing goes on.  Journalists 
are banned from official press conferences or buildings because they ask 
awkward questions or publish things unflattering to the wannabe king. 
Politicians get attacked for saying things like people have to follow 
laws.  The USA has gone seriously downhill in that respect in the last 
16 months or so.  Some other parts of the world are worse - sometimes 
much worse.  But most European countries have very strong freedom of 
speech protection as long as you are not harming other people with your 
speech.  (Freedom of speech must be weighed against freedom /from/ 
speech - just like freedom of religion and freedom from religion.)

Many people do think that, as I understand it.  But that's not what the 
constitution says.  In particular, it only limits what Congress and 
federal authorities can do to stop people expressing themselves - it 
does not in any way require non-government entities from allowing people 
to say anything they want.  Media (newspapers, TV, social media, etc.) 
can impose whatever limitations they want.

Correct.  Equally, they are allowed to encourage hate-speech and ban 
people arguing against it.

There are plenty of restrictions to free speech in the USA - you can't 
incite violence, for example.  And something you say might be considered 
conspiracy to commit a crime.  Things you say might fall foul of other 
laws, such as harassment, psychological abuse, prejudice, etc.  Other 
countries' laws might put more emphasis on freedom from hate speech than 
the USA, but the idea that the USA has freedom of speech and Europeans 
do not is wrong.

So what you are saying here is that the /police/ conducted a raid and 
seizure in connection with suspected unlawfully obtained goods and/or 
industrial espionage, acting on information provided by a company that 
believed it was a victim of the crime?  And that when the dust settled, 
they realised that there was no intentional crime?

That's not the breakdown of free society as you implied - it's the 
police doing their job of enforcing the law, but possibly making the 
wrong judgement call.  Police in every country have to make decisions 
based on limited information, and sometimes they make the wrong 
decision.  (I don't know this case, and can't say if they were wrong or 
right.)

I do not want to click on your links and follow you down your rabbit

it didn't think I was interested in conspiracy theories about the 
breakdown of every country that does not follow Maga philosophies.

So you know you can get solder in the post in a couple of days, but you 
have seen someone on a video saying it has been banned and you have to 
smuggle it on the black market - and you believed the video, not your 
own experience?

Of course.  Lead is a neuropoison, and has caused significant reduction 
in mental capacity (and other health problems) for vast numbers of 
people.  An argument has been made that the fall of the Roman Empire can 
be partially blamed on lead pipes and lead dishes.  Lead from petrol has 
caused massive low-level poisoning.  Lead in groundwater causes 
poisoning.  It makes a lot of sense to have regulations to reduce the 
use of lead in other situations - such as solder - where there are 
perfectly good alternatives.

Don't misunderstand me - sometimes it really is a case of politicians 
doing stupid things.  Sometimes it is for personal profit or the result 
of lobbying, often it is well-intentioned but not matched by an 
understanding of the implications.  Here the lawmakers saw that people 
can make gun parts on 3-D printers, and wanted to stop that from being 
possible (fair enough as an aim).  The resulting proposed legislation 
would have banned all personal usage of 3-D printers - a real "throw the 
baby out with the bathwater" solution.

The situation here is that social media is not suitable or safe for 
kids.  (It is not safe or suitable for adults either, but it's harder to 
argue that politically - "think of the kids" is always good for votes.) 
Social media countries don't want to do anything about this, making any 
kind of realistic registration or age checks, and they certainly don't 
want to have to remove the dangerous crap they host.  So they punt the 
problem - they promise politicians lots of money if the politicians 
impose laws saying the OS or other platforms must handle the age 
verification.  I don't know where this one will all end.  (There's an 
easy solution - social media companies could charge $10 a year per 
account, payable only via credit card.  That would immediately solve 
much of the problems they cause.)

Video game commentators are good for comments on video games.

You would do well to look at sites like ground.news or allsides.com that 
make a specific point of showing news from multiple different sites to 
help you understand the biases.  Or look at multiple news sources that 
are publicly funded but independent of any direct government control, 
such as the BBC website.  For privately owned news sources, find one 
that charges you money - "free" sites still charge you, but in hidden 
ways.  No one site is perfect - you have to combine them.

Norway did not use to have any restrictions at all on tools, like 
knives/axes/scythes up to and including shotguns.

The current regulations have explicit exceptions for knife carry in 
public plaes when those knives (or swords!) are part of uniform or 
traditional dress. I.e around May 17th it is perfectly fine to carry 
large amounts of metal (mostly silver) through airport security, but 
they might tell you that the silver-decorated knife should go in checked 
luggage.

Similarly, Scouts' knives are fine anywhere.

Regarding firearms the Norwegian regulations are still way less strict 
than the UK, pretty much anyone without a mental illness or felony 
record can legally own a handgun:

You just need to start by becoming a member of a local pistol shooting 
club, then turn up regularly to practice using club guns (at least 10 
times or more) over a year, then pass a police security vetting which 
check for those mental/felony bans.

At this point you can legally buy something like a Glock or 1911 and get 
the serial number on your credit-card sized ownership card.

If you are very active, then you can get separate permits for a primary 
and spare gun for each of the competition classes you regularly compete 
in, I know people with 10+ handguns in their gun safe.

However, unlike the US, there is absolutely no way to get either an open 
or concealed carry permit unless you are military or police.

Any handgun you own _must_ be stored in a proper gun safe, in can only 
be brought out for cleaning and to transport it to the shooting range.

During that transport, the gun cannot be in the front seat with you, it 
has to stay in the trunk or back seat, unloaded of course, and still in 
its carrying box.

I were my sgian-dubh with my kilt.  Despite the name, it's not very 
hidden.  It used to be legal to have one in the cabin of planes in the 
UK, as long as it stayed in your sock.

Indeed.  And you have to keep them locked in a gun safe, which the 
police can check at short notice.

Similarly, you can own a hunting rifle if you pass the hunting tests and 
are vetted by the police.

Basically, in Norway you can have guns for sport or hunting, but not for 
threatening or shooting people.

The gun laws in the UK are a lot more restrictive (after all, there's 
not nearly as much scope for hunting in most of the UK).  Farmers can 
get shotgun licenses, but I think if you have a pistol for sport it has 
to be kept at the pistol club, not at home.  (I have not looked at the 
rules in detail, so I could be wrong or out-dated.)
