This has nothing to do with retro technology. This is about thinking “is using binary really the most efficient way to run every computation we need to do?”, which is really relevant today.
Comment on Analog computing is undergoing a resurgence

No, it isn’t. There’s just a passing interest in retro technology
It’ll pass
- floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago- floo@retrolemmy.com 1 month ago- Is it? Binary is not a “analog” vs “digital” thing. “Binary” existed in analog computing for a couple of centuries at least before the concept of “digital“ even existed. - floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago- With “binary” I mean “has two states”, as in discrete, as in digital. You can represent binary bits using analog circuits, but it doesn’t make those circuits binary. What makes these chips different is that they are able to not only represent but actually model continuous functions and values, like physical models. - floo@retrolemmy.com 1 month ago- I think perhaps you might’ve misunderstood my comment, because this is exactly what I was saying. You’re just being a lot more specific in your explanation.

- frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago- That doesn’t contradict anything above. - There’s a company pushing their hybrid analog/digital chip for real use cases. I dunno if it’s going to be successful, but it’s not retro. - floo@retrolemmy.com 5 weeks ago- Aww— leaky Nazi cunt has a cry cry - Kill yourself

New, programmable analog chips that perform basic sound processing aren’t retro. The article is worth reading.
