My Favorite Half-Bit Hack 

finally, non-binary circuits

The ammount of queer references in this video is surprising Until you remember it is a computational redstone video

Non-binary circuits in a trans rights biome. Top tier set-up

if rubix has no fans I'm dead

4:50 wait, that hotbar is genderfluid! Awesome

who is this blue creature and why are they adding mischevious little trans easter eggs to their complex doohickey systems

1:42 that's enough for me to consider that is the bi flag

8:18 genderfluid flag in the hotbar !!

Your ternary representation is close to being a representation of Sparse Balance Binary. Sparse Balanced Binary is a like balanced ternary except the place values are powers of 2, and adjacent non-zero bits are not allowed. It's not a traditional base system, as it isn't compact, but it *does* uniquely represent each integer. Using T as -1 the numbers from 0 to 11 in Sparse Balanced Binary are: 00000 00001 00010 0010T 00100 00101 010T0 0100T 01000 01001 01010 10T0T If we want to encode sbits on binary wires we run into the same problem that ternary has, that we have 3 states per sbit, and so we need more wires to store the information. The simplest form would be binary-coded ternary using 2 wires per sbit. But if we look at pairs of bits, there are now only 5 possible sbits, so we can use binary-coded quinary to encode pairs of sbits, which is 3 wires per 2 sbits. Anyways, I apologize for this tangent.

My favorite biome (for totally cis reasons) :3

Please make a redstone computer that computes estrogen

A bit is a bit, you can't say it's only a half! Looking forward to parallel universe redstone next time

i did NOT expect this video to be such an elaborate and well thought out *bit* :3

4:14 cracked me up SO BADLY LOOOOL, such a good bit love it

hmmm what may all those colours mean :3

TRANS RIGHT REDSTONE LET'S GOOOOOO

This is the queerest minecraft video ive ever seen and it was a really good watch

I read the biome name and subscribed

can't think of anything to comment so :3

I was actually thinking about half bits the other day, and I thought I was doing something wrong because how could 3 bits ( 1½ + 1½ ) have more possibilities than 4 bits? But I guess that's how it works. In retrospect it makes sense that two _independent_ halves would be different than one whole. Although, it makes me wonder how a half bit by itself would work, and if you could save storage space by only using them.

I love that the biome that the video is in is called “Trans Rights” ❤🏳️‍⚧️

2:46 are human rights.

I just saw your 3 year old comment under one of creel's videos (the cool guy with x86_64 asm playlist), and then I got you recomended, world is huge but this is a cool coincidence.

hey, quick tip! you don't need a super good mic, but something you can do right now is mess with your mic settings in obs (or whatever else you use to record). there's some tutorials on filters you can use to make it sound better, and even just making sure the volume is somewhere in the yellow zone of the bar is already going to help a lot! :) (best to move closer to your mic if you can, rather than trying to boost the volume in obs) (also make sure it never goes above -9dB. if it does, put a limiter on it)

Honest questions, why increase the storage space required? Seems like binary would be less work and less storage for the computer to compute?

Fascinating topic. I hadn't considered that a circuit could store a non-power of 2 number of values (e.g. 3), but your explanation on that makes a lot of sense. I did lose you a bit when it came to encoding. I guess what you were trying to say is 0/1 just maps to whatever it is and 2 means we need to use another bit? Have you considered selector circuits where only one wire of N is turned on? It seems to me that encoding would be easier to understand but less efficient.

I was worried at first when 1 bit was just pink and blue. But the sheer amount of pride in this is delicious.

Im very love how you describe logarithm function btw. Its very cool simple and practical

What about balanced ternary? From what I gather, it’s more efficient for a lot of operations

the trans rights biome sounds like an awesome place

based biome

the minecraft blocks changing on cue is really neat

Watching this at 2:30am, brain can't handle this

"Biome: Trans Rights" lol

Trans rights! 2:46

I remember some guy posting about construction of ternary electronics and ICs. Foundries always rejected him lol

You are wrong. 3 posibilities isn't 1.5 bits but 1.584... bits. If you have `n` bits then you have `2ⁿ`. Therefore if you have `k` possibilities you have `log2(k)` bits. Which means that 3 possibilities is `log2(3)` bits. This is also why you can't encode 9 possibilities using 3 bits: 1.584 + 1.584 > 3. Edit: I didn't see the note on the thumbnail. Unless you added it after I commented.

2:30 oh I understand. Its like when you know some information, and than discover some more. Just like you know 2 conditions and then discover third.

Does 1.5 bits mean 1 bit plus a 75% probability that the second bit is correct? Is a millibyte of information correct 50.4% of the time? Can you quantum entangle half bits?

if it weren't for the need to implement logic gates, i'd (for funsies) try and design some sort of ternary cpu

my favorite biome

ohh so the B in LGBTQ stands for Bits

how did you get a custom biome name?

I'm currently at 4:04, and you use trinary in a binary system, 0 ,"1A" & "1B" so its an its not really a power of 2 and its a power of 3, this is why we use power of 2 in computing because those "half" is just an carry bit

Having 3 states instead of 2 is difficult to implement and more importantly, what is the 3rd state? (Since 0 is the OFF state and 1 is the On state, there's no "in-between". This is where the binary comes from)

Finally we enbies have a logic system we can think in /s P.S. based item names =3

meow

is this how dreamberd stores booleans???

The half A-Press is reeeeeeaaallll!!!!

June is over

ternary wouldve made more sense initially

white, light pink and white blue are based colours for completely no reason whatsoever frfr 100% no cap on my testosterone's and lack of estrogen's life

Whats the message?

based buckets

I understand nothing except you saying "use base 3"

Awesome

You should look up mic settings tutorials

Is a ternary digit a trip?

ok this is a cool concept, but i think i just get a bit (hahaha) lost regarding the *why* of all this. i get that information theory allows for fractional bits, log base 2 is a continuous function and all that, but when you actually go to send the data you still just need to send the extra bit as you do in this vid (there are four channels in between the pink and blue converters). so like, cool you are converting between ternary and binary to be able to send ternary signals using binary (wire on/off) mechanics. but like why does that make it a half-bit thing. Having a binary encoding of ternary numbers is great if you need that for whatever reason (including recreational comp sci fun), but like how does that actually relate to sending "half a bit", you are still sending normal bits and storing ternary digits (trits? idk). anyways cool vid

Ternary ?!

This confuses me greatly. Why are they "half-bits" if they're just ternary? Trits, if you will?

No i didn't know that 9>8

Those aren't bits at that point. With 3 states, it's a trit, and any counting with it is done in ternary rather than binary. These are not really half bits.

If you have an iPhone use it instead because the mic is really good compared to what you have now

Nice

Blud, what rights 😭😭😭

Non binery circuts…. So cool…

ok, bit stands for binary digit, a base two digit that can be in one of two states If a digit can be in one of three states, then that's not a bit, it's a ternary digit, or a trit, not a half bit

Why we get that random ass number 1.5849 blah blah blah Bc that's log2(3)

transgener technology

Biome says Trans Rights!!!

It is more log base2 of 3 bits than 1.5 bits

Havent watched yet. My guess: Trinary logic [High,Low,Undefined]

akcthually, it would be sqrt(2) bits, not 1.5 bits, because it is a logarithmic scale ;)

Fun Fact: Half a byte is a nibble! The more you know.

First time enjoying a bedrock video😂

This is a simplified form of Arithmetic Coding. Look it up on Wikipedia, very interesting compression method. By the way, I appreciate the "Trans Rights" biome name and the gender-fluid flag in your hotbar, lol

Excellent, more wokery in my video game.

So if Bit starts with B for Binary how about we call the tenary bits... actually nvm Also, I was missing an explanation about parallel universes in this video

0:00 I knew that 9 was more then 8, however I didn’t know that it was also equal to 8 lol

I don't get the point of this... the first 8 minutes were just representing 3 bits with 4 bits? That seems very non efficient

I love how it says trans rights everywere, I thought I was going crazy for a second

“a pair of ternary digits” is kinda wordy, I think if a pair of Binary digITs is a “pair of bits,” what would you call a pair of Ternary digITs?

TRANS RIGHTS ITEMS

But if you need 4 bit to count to 8 why not using your 4 bit to count to 15? I mean , ternary is cool but it has to be ternary at it's core , otherwise it's useless. Did I miss something? Or was it purely a trans joke?

Thats called trinary

:3

many trans colors

yo it's the trans colors man

Heh egg … trans

love your channel :) trans rights

2:48 Trans Rights? lmao

world’s first based youtube comment section

How much fägotery you want in your video? This guy: yes 💀

why is everything in the video named "trans rights"?😅

:3 🏳️‍⚧️
