[andmaybegayer]

Hello. So what's the deal with computer chips? Let's say, for example, that I wanted to build a brand new Sega Genesis. Ignoring firmware and software, what's stopping me from dissecting their proprietary chips and reverse-engineering them to make new ones? It's just electric connections and such inside, isn't it? If I match the pin ins and outs, shouldn't it be easy? So why don't people do it?

The answer is that people totally used to do this, there's several examples of chips being cloned and used to build compatible third-party hardware, the most famous two examples being famiclones/NESclones and Intel 808X clones.

AMD is now a major processor manufacturer, but they took off in the 70's by reverse-engineering Intel's 8080 processor. Eventually they were called in to officially produce additional 8086 chips under license to meet burgeoning demand for IBM PC's, but that was almost a decade later if I remember correctly.

There were a ton of other 808X clones, like the Soviet-made pin-compatible K1810VM86. Almost anyone with a chip fab was cloning Intel chips back in the 80's, a lot of it was in the grey area of reverse engineering the chips.

Companies kept cloning Intel processors well into the 386 days, but eventually the processors got too complicated to easily clone, and so only companies who licensed designs could make them, slowly reducing the field down to Intel, AMD, and Via, who still exist! Via's CPU division currently works on the Zhaoxin x86_64 processors as part of the ongoing attempts to homebrew a Chinese-only x86 processor.

I wrote about NES clones a while ago, in less detail, so here's that if you want to read it:

Early famiclones worked by essentially reverse-engineering or otherwise cloning the individual chips inside an NES/famicom, and just reconstructing a compatible device from there. Those usually lacked any of the DRM lockout chips built into the original NES, and were often very deeply strange, with integrated clones of official peripherals like the keyboard and mouse simply hardwired directly into the system.

These were sold all over the world, but mostly in developing economies or behind the Iron Curtain where official Nintendo stuff was harder to find. I had a Golden China brand Famiclone growing up, which was a common famiclone brand around South Africa.

Eventually the cost of chip fabbing came down and all those individual chips from the NES were crammed onto one cheap piece of silicon and mass produced for pennies each, the NES-on-a-chip. With this you could turn anything into an NES, and now you could buy a handheld console that ran pirated NES game for twenty dollars in a corner store. In 2002. Lots of edutainment mini-PC's for children were powered by these, although now those are losing out to Linux (and now Android) powered tablets a la Leapfrog.

Nintendo's patents on their hardware designs expired throughout the early 2000's and so now the hardware design was legally above board, even if the pirated games weren't. You can still find companies making systems that rely on these NES chips, and there are still software houses specializing in novel NES games.

Why doesn't this really happen anymore? Well, mostly CPU's and their accoutrements are too complicated. Companies still regularly clone their competitors simpler chips all the time, and I actually don't know if Genesis clones exist, it's only a Motorola 68000k, but absolutely no one is cloning a modern Intel or AMD processor.

The die of a Motorola 68000 (1979)

A classic Intel 8080 is basically the kind of chip you learn about in entry level electrical engineering, a box with logic gates that may be complicated, but pretty straightforwardly fetches things from memory, decodes, executes, and stores. A modern processor is a magic pinball machine that does things backwards and out of order if it'll get you even a little speedup, as Mickens puts it in The Slow Winter:

I think that it used to be fun to be a hardware architect. Anything that you invented would be amazing, and the laws of physics were actively trying to help you succeed. Your friend would say, “I wish that we could predict branches more accurately,” and you’d think, “maybe we can leverage three bits of state per branch to implement a simple saturating counter,” and you’d laugh and declare that such a stupid scheme would never work, but then you’d test it and it would be 94% accurate, and the branches would wake up the next morning and read their newspapers and the headlines would say OUR WORLD HAS BEEN SET ON FIRE. You’d give your buddy a high-five and go celebrate at the bar, and then you’d think, “I wonder if we can make branch predictors even more accurate,” and the next day you’d start XOR’ing the branch’s PC address with a shift register containing the branch’s recent branching history, because in those days, you could XOR anything with anything and get something useful, and you test the new branch predictor, and now you’re up to 96% accuracy, and the branches call you on the phone and say OK, WE GET IT, YOU DO NOT LIKE BRANCHES, but the phone call goes to your voicemail because you’re too busy driving the speed boats and wearing the monocles that you purchased after your promotion at work. You go to work hung-over, and you realize that, during a drunken conference call, you told your boss that your processor has 32 registers when it only has 8, but then you realize THAT YOU CAN TOTALLY LIE ABOUT THE NUMBER OF PHYSICAL REGISTERS, and you invent a crazy hardware mapping scheme from virtual registers to physical ones, and at this point, you start seducing the spouses of the compiler team, because it’s pretty clear that compilers are a thing of the past, and the next generation of processors will run English-level pseudocode directly.

Die shot of a Ryzen 5 2600 core complex (2019)

Nowadays to meet performance parity you can't just be pin-compatible and run at the right frequency, you have to really do a ton of internal logical optimization that is extremely opaque to the reverse engineer. As mentioned, Via is making the Zhaoxin stuff, they are licensed, they have access to all the documentation needed to make an x86_64 processor, and their performance is still barely half of what Intel and AMD can do.

Companies still frequently clone each others simpler chips, charge controllers, sensor filters, etc. but the big stuff is just too complicated.

a lil confession from a guy who used to like blaseball. going to preface with i absolutely loved it, the culture, the community, the characters and setting and all. i made art, wrote fics, bought the albums. but as someone who wasnt usamerican, who lived on the opposite side of the world in fact, i always felt a little left behind. joining late contributed to the feeling of lockout, timezone mismatch meant that i slept through events like voting, and the finale.

and… the communal character building. sometimes i felt like i had to force myself to use a usa-centric lens to see what everyone else saw. the deicide jokes were funny, but not when my actual rl faith started being teased and challenged as well.

i think i'll still always keep a shard of blaseball near and dear to my heart. the good parts of it really were amazing. but sometimes when i see people say they miss it, i think, i wish i could miss it as fiercely as you guys do too.

hey, i wanna say thank you for sharing this with me. i think it's an important perspective to put out there. i debated on whether i wanted to maintag it since i don't have a way to reach out and ask if it's okay to do so, but i really think other people should see it. (you can always send me another message if you want me to delete it and i will do so asap)

blaseball, as a game and as a community, was wonderful and overall a net positive, but it was by no means perfect. it had its flaws like any other community, in this case driven by the fact that its active fanbase was largely white and centered in the united states. there were a lot of people who felt ostracized by a community that was supposed to be welcoming to everyone - and whether it was people not knowing how to keep a bit contained to the circumstances of its universe or shutting down discussions about problems in character writing, there were people who got hurt. we cannot and should not pretend that never happened.

and of course, as you mentioned, the game was designed in a way that mostly centered the united states. i think there were attempts to fix this during coronation with planned events at different times, but we never got to see that play out. hell, you could even see it in which locations got to be represented by teams. i'm not personally sure how i feel about the fact that a lot of the teams that were represented outside of the us were prehistory teams. it feels like they took a step in trying, but those are all teams that wouldn't ever see active play, so it rang a little hollow to me.

at least from my perspective, it seemed like there were dialogues happening about this and that there was progress being made to fix those issues, but then the game ended and we didn't get to see anything come out of it. i really don't want to see that all be for nothing. i hope that everyone who learned something from this community will take those lessons and apply them to how they interact with other communities.

thank you again. i am truly sorry we didn't get to have the same experience.

Common mistakes you should avoid with your locks

Introduction

It's easy to get overwhelmed when you're trying to keep up with the security of your home. Keyed locks are a common feature in many homes, and they're great for keeping unwanted people out of your house. But if you don't know what you're doing, changing the lock yourself or even having another person do it for you can be very dangerous. Here are some mistakes that homeowners often make when dealing with their locks—and how to avoid them:

Don't be DIY

One of the biggest mistakes that people make when trying to fix their locks themselves is not being prepared for the worst-case scenario. There are many reasons why you might have to call a professional locksmith in Long Beach, CA, and it's important that you're willing to accept that possibility if things go wrong.

You may not be able to get your lock working again. If you don't know what you're doing, it can be difficult to fix some issues on your own, especially with older models of locks or newer ones that are more complex than others. For example, if there is corrosion inside a cylinder (the part inside where keys fit), this could prevent certain parts from moving freely enough to their work properly again without breaking something else along the way; these types of problems can only be fixed by professionals who understand how each piece works together as one unit rather than just looking at them individually like most DIYers do when they try fixing something themselves without knowing what they're doing first!

You may not be able to get your door open again after removing its lock completely yourself without damaging any other parts inside or around it because there are so many different ways things could go wrong depending on which brands or models were involved here too! If anything goes wrong while trying out new methods on old equipment like this then it's almost guaranteed someone will need assistance from experts because there's no way around needing professional guidance unless otherwise specified beforehand."

Don't leave spare keys under the doormat.

Don't leave spare keys under the doormat, or anywhere that would be easily accessible to a burglar. Many burglars will check for a hidden key and if they find one, they can easily gain entry into your home.

Don't leave keys in a bowl by the door. If you have kids who are constantly coming in and out of the house and losing their things, it's better to keep them somewhere else.

Don't leave keys in an obvious place like on a hook by the door (or any other place where anyone could notice them). Thieves know that most people don't change their locks often so they might take advantage of this fact and use your old lock to break into your house later on down the road when no one is around anymore!

Don't leave spare keys under potted plants either because if someone were ever able to get their hands on those plants then there goes all hope for keeping intruders out of our homes forevermore!

Do not give your keys to unauthorized people.

You should not give your keys to unauthorized people. After all, you need a key to get into your home and you don’t want anyone else entering it without knowing who they are. If someone has a key, they can show up at any time, so make sure whomever you give it to is trustworthy and responsible enough to not abuse their access.

Don't change your locks yourself.

While a locksmith may charge more than the cost of a new key, he or she will also be able to ensure that your lock is installed properly. For example, if you remove the old cylinder, you could damage your door or lock and then need to replace both.

Also, many homeowners have been locked out because they tried picking their own locks or used an inexpensive tool like a credit card to open doors. These methods are not guaranteed to work and often result in additional damage. A trained professional can prevent this from happening by using the right tools and equipment during installation so there’s no risk of damage occurring during installation or removal

Conclusion

Don't have a key for every lock. Don't leave spare keys under the doormat. Don't give your keys to unauthorized people. Don't change your locks yourself.

Lock Install

Lock installers are a very important part of any business, and it is important that you choose one that has the right credentials. It is also important to make sure that they have insurance so that in case something goes wrong while they are working on your locks, they will be covered by their insurance company.

600 employees at the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne were temporarily laid off by Ford. Additionally, GM will likely [...] lay off some 2,000 employees at its Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City, Kansas, which builds the Cadillac XT4 SUV and the Chevrolet Malibu sedan.

Wentzville, which builds GM’s midsize pickups and cargo vans, also does stamping work for Fairfax’s vehicles. In a memo to employees, GM said it anticipates running out of the stamping parts for Fairfax as soon as early next week, though it said parts inventory remained fluid. “It is unfortunate that the UAW leadership’s decision to call a strike at Wentzville Assembly has already had a negative ripple effect, with GM’s Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas and its 2,000 team members expected to be idled as soon as early next week,” GM said in a statement. [...]

Jessica Enoch, communications director for Ford, said in an email to the Free Press, “Approximately 600 employees at Michigan Assembly Plant’s body construction department and south sub-assembly area of integrated stamping were notified not to report to work Sept. 15. This is not a lockout. This layoff is a consequence of the strike at Michigan Assembly Plant’s final assembly and paint departments["...]

“Our production system is highly interconnected, which means the UAW’s targeted strike strategy will have knock-on effects for facilities that are not directly targeted for a work stoppage. In this case, the strike at Michigan Assembly Plant’s final assembly and paint departments has directly impacted the operations in other parts of the facility.”
