Summary

"Low-Level Coding" offers a comprehensive exploration of how software instructions translate into actual machine operations, bridging the crucial gap between high-level programming languages and computer hardware fundamentals.The book masterfully demystifies assembly language and machine code through a practical, hands-on approach that makes complex concepts accessible to readers with basic programming experience. Through carefully structured content spanning CPU architecture, memory management, and hardware interaction, readers gain essential insights into the foundational elements of modern computing.The book's unique strength lies in its progressive journey through four main sections, starting with basic assembly concepts and advancing to practical applications in system programming. By examining both x86 and ARM architectures, it provides real-world context through detailed code examples and debugging exercises. The material particularly shines in demonstrating how understanding low-level programming enhances a programmer's effectiveness at any level, revealing the true implications of programming decisions that high-level languages typically abstract away.What sets this book apart is its interdisciplinary approach, connecting assembly programming with computer architecture, operating systems, and compiler design. Through interactive examples and thorough annotations, readers learn essential skills for writing device drivers, optimizing performance-critical code, and implementing system utilities. This practical focus, combined with detailed technical content and hands-on exercises, makes it an invaluable resource for computer science students, professional programmers, and embedded systems developers seeking deeper understanding of computer systems.

    “When today’s technology relies on yesterday’s data, it will simply mirror our past mistakes and biases.” 
    AI and other high-tech tools embed and reinforce America’s history of prejudice and exclusion — even when they are used with the best intentions. Patrick K. Lin’s Machine See, Machine Do: How Technology Mirrors Bias in Our Criminal Justice System takes a deep and thorough look into the use of technology in the criminal justice system, and investigates the instances of coded bias present at every level. 
    In this book, you’ll learn how algorithms and high-tech tools are used in unexpected ways: suggesting which neighborhoods to police, predicting whether someone is more or less likely to commit a crime, and determining how long someone’s prison sentence should be. 
    Machine See, Machine Do takes you on an eye-opening journey of discovery, encouraging you to think twice about our current system of justice and the technology that supposedly makes it more “objective” and “fair.” If you are someone who cares deeply about criminal justice reform, is curious about the role of technology in our day-to-day lives, and ultimately believes we should aspire to make both of these spaces more ethical and safe, this book is for you.
