How Binary Works, and the Power of Abstraction 

Reminds me of people building computers within minecraft

@@ToddsDiscGolf exactly you also understand why you can simulate a computer inside a computer

Clock out of basic tools is essential to make funny computer and robots

..or about what Information is

We're witnessing the birth of a great RU-vid channel. Call me when there's a 100k people.

Only 5.4K??

And my man still has no profile photo. Legend

Abstration

I agree. His ways of explaining the important bits without throwing any information out is fabulous

He explained how binary, or any base number works, i've tried telling my friends to think about our base 10 number system then slowly getting it down to base 2 but noone understands at all

@@OvalLibrary Tell them that binary is the simplest possible number system as it contains only 2 different numbers 1 and 0, and this is very beneficial because it can be represented by just two state, which makes things very long (as the video explained) but thats fine for a computer because it also makes the transistors very simple (either around 0 or 5 volt) from transistors you can build numbers (in this binary representation and later with floating point representation) and can also build boolean logic which then can operate on said numbers.

@@CraftyF0X No they know that, they just dont know how counting numbers using them work, they think theres some sort of rule or seperate way on how to count using binary, when in reality its just like every other base number system

@@OvalLibrary It's simple, prove them that by demonstrating a few operation on binaries.

In other words… it builds upon layers of abstraction :)

@@nevelis yes! But you can definitely do that while losing the entire audience's understanding haha

it actually got me 😭

Or you could just donate if he gives that option

Thanks to Josh, we don't have to imagine anymore :)

@@mansart26 well given enough time, it will though, and rightfully so. He will deserve his popularity as more viewers discover the content, because it's good.

and even more for computer engineering

saaaaaaame

Took me so long to pause on that lol

Ah, this is familiar territory! When I was in high school, I loaded up the configuration file for Epic Pinball in X-Tree Gold's built-in hex editor and figured out which values to change to zeroes to get infinite balls on all tables. I learned how to write HTML by loading up saved web pages from the 1994 web in text editors and writing my own with similar structures. A few days ago, I wrote a simple C program to generate a palette and figured out the structure of the palette format by loading it up in a text editor. Did hit a little snag when directing the program's printf() outputs to a file, though. The Jasc palette format originated on Windows, so Paint Shop Pro 7 expects CR/LF newlines. Linux just uses LF newlines. Fixed that by loading up in a text editor that supported converting newlines and saving it. Not really the right way to do it, but it worked.

Setun computer, built in 1959 for in Moscow State University, used ternary. Head of the project was Brusentsov, he has a number of books about Setun and logic, you can read that. There are also research papers in the internet about multi valued logic and ternary in particular. I suggest you search internet for that.

Most non binary representation is use in communication but we design them to be converted immediately to binary because CMOS circuits are inherently binary. CMOS has P type and N type transistor and we use combinations of this transistor to build logic gates and more complicated circuits. Flash storage also use non binary states to record and store information.

The Colossus, the first (special purpose) programmable digital computer, used quinary logic! It seems that it made a lot of sense at the time, when they used thousands of thermionic valves (vacuum tubes) to break the Nazi cryptography encoded in 5 bit characters.

same bro

I think we're all in the same RU-vid bubble lol

omg same!!

Ya, I've seen like half of them more than once.

oh also good music
