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.
Comment on Analog computing is undergoing a resurgence

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.

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.

No offense taken! I just believe that a subtle difference does not mean unimportant and wanted to be precise. I didn’t take you as someone who doesn’t understand analog and digital, especially considering your instance :) I edited my previous comment for some additional clarity. I just think they’re neat ^^
