Circuit diagram

The GI SP0256 speech synth chip was the easiest way to add “speech” hardware to an 8-bit micro in the early 1980s. Designing the circuit would entail choices such as memory mapped or IO mapped? Dedicated clock or borrow system clock?

roadhouseendgame i was talking to my mom about cardassians and said something along the lines of what must it be like to be a cardassian civilian. like abstractly knowing the rest of the galaxy thinks of your species as 'the evil ones' and kinda sorta knowing your government runs labor camps and torture prisons and is a military empire, and it's a huge deal for everyone else in the galaxy, but you just like run a restaurant so it's not a big part of your daily life, so you just like, go about your day and make soup and don't think about it' and then halfway through my sentence i actually heard myself and then had to go sit down for like ten minutes. like sat down in a chair and stared at the floor for ten minutes

whoops

Congress Must Reclaim Control Of ICE’s $70–75 Billion Advance Funding Text SIGN PKXKKN to 50409 — CONGRESS MUST RESCIND ICE’S ADVANCE APPROPRIATIONS IN H.R. 1 As your constituent, I urge Congress to rescind as much of ICE’s advance funding in H.R. 1 (often referred to as the “Big Beautiful Bill”) as is legally possible before it is obligated through long-term contracts and grants. Much of this funding remains unobligated, giving Congress a narrow but real opportunity to act before commitments become legally binding. ICE RECEIVED AN ESTIMATED $70–75 BILLION IN MULTI-YEAR FUNDING THROUGH FY2029 Independent analyses estimate that H.R. 1 provides ICE with roughly $70–75 billion in funding “to remain available until September 30, 2029,” spread across multiple years and provisions. In plain terms, this money is intended to permanently expand immigration enforcement capacity, including: (1) Approximately $14.4 billion for deportation transportation, including chartered removal flights, long-distance transfers between detention facilities, and transport from local jails into ICE custody. This funding enables a large, multi-year deportation logistics system once contracts are signed. (2) Approximately $7 billion for hiring, staffing, and overtime, allowing ICE to expand its enforcement workforce and sustain higher operational tempo beyond a single fiscal year. (3) Approximately $40–45 billion for detention facilities and bed capacity, including construction, expansion, and long-term contracts with private detention operators, allowing ICE to hold far more people for longer periods. (4) Approximately $2–3 billion for vehicles, aircraft, and other equipment, increasing ICE’s physical footprint and reach through fleet expansion and modernization. (5) Approximately $3–4 billion for enforcement technology and databases, including surveillance tools and case-management systems that determine who is identified, tracked, detained, and targeted for removal. (6) Approximately $650 million for 287(g) agreements, which deputize state and local law enforcement to perform federal immigration enforcement functions. (7) Approximately $1.3 billion for immigration prosecutors, expanding the Office of the Principal Legal Advisor so more removal cases can be processed and completed more quickly. (8) Approximately $2–3 billion for state and local participation, reimbursing jurisdictions for detention and enforcement activities tied to ICE operations. Once these contracts, facilities, staffing increases, and systems are in place, they are rarely scaled back, effectively locking in years of expanded enforcement capacity WITHOUT ANNUAL CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW. THE SCALE OF THIS COMMITMENT WARRANTS CAUTION AND OVERSIGHT Taken together, this represents one of the largest multi-year domestic law-enforcement funding commitments Congress has approved in recent memory. While immigration enforcement is a legitimate Federal responsibility, commitments of this size and duration typically warrant annual review and adjustment rather than being locked in years in advance. There are also significant tradeoffs. Funds committed in advance to detention and deportation are funds unavailable for other pressing national needs, including disaster response and FEMA readiness, public health preparedness, infrastructure resilience, education, and economic stability. CONGRESS MUST ACT BEFORE THESE FUNDS ARE FULLY OBLIGATED Once ICE obligates these funds through contracts and grants, rescission becomes far more difficult and costly. Even partial or phased rescission of unobligated balances would preserve Congressional authority and allow future funding levels to be reconsidered through the regular appropriations process. CONGRESS SHOULD: (1) Rescind unobligated ICE funds provided in H.R. 1 for FY2025–FY2029, in whole or in part. (2) Prohibit ICE from obligating remaining balances for new detention capacity, removal contracts, or 287(g) agreements without renewed annual approval. (3) Require detailed public reporting and independent GAO review of any remaining obligations. Thank you.

I seldom do television appearances, but I have always had the highest regard for Jim Henson's taste and artistry, so when I was invited to be a guest on The #Muppet Show, I saw that this might be an opportunity to do something very worthwhile.

Why Higher Education’s AI Backlash Reveals Some of Its Deepest Cracks In some ways, AI isn’t the real threat. It’s just the mirror.

Highly recommend @kylesaunders.bsky.social on why AI is so unsettling to higher ed - one of the best pieces I have read on this issue:

"[U]niversities don’t merely teach. Universities certify, sort, and signal. And AI interferes with all three at once."

I get a lot of CS, econ, and gov students who want the humanistic, decolonial, and ethics-driven angle on technologies, which they variably get in their majors (depends on whose classes they take). They report it has been valuable in job interviews because it makes them interesting.

At CMU, we got *so many* CS students yearning for that angle. Really makes you think, perhaps there should be some education covering a liberal array of the various arts. Perhaps offering a broadly general education? 🤔
