i heard this question raised on a podcast and my understanding is that the gains from analog computing do not in favt yield orders of magnitude more efficiency, so digitization is not as much of a loss as one might think
- adamnemecek 9y agolol what podcast was this? gains from analog computing are actually really promising, and just about every opinion I've seen that said it wasn't was founded on some fundamental flaw.
- dang 9y agoWould you please edit the uncivil swipes out of your comments here? Your comment would be just fine without the snarky first three letters.
- adamnemecek 9y agoThat actually wasn't snarky but I see how it could be taken that way. I was surprised that there's a podcast on this, I was legitimately curious what podcast this was. I have very little material that deals with this, and it's surprising that there's a podcast on this.
- dang 9y agoAh. Sorry for misreading you! But could you maybe be a little clearer in that department? I seem to recall having a similar conversation before, and good faith is so lossy online.

- aisofteng 9y agoOh you heard it talked about on a podcast? Well, then, all bets are out. It is ridiculous the extent to which laymen commenters feel they don't need to understand more in order to even have a chance of mattering in a conversation.
- platz 9y agoWell I'm reporting what I heard. Feel free to ignore it.
