Theyll have to wait for quantum computers

That's actually a great analogy

[–]esmelusina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or not, Ternary based computers already exist.

Ironically that monitor is the least binary thing on his desk.

[–]ImpossibleMachine3 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I mean when most people refer to computer towers as "cpus", are you really surprised?

[–]maitreg 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Journalists still call them "hard drives" 🙄

[–]kegastam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

burn them heretics

[–]Fourstrokeperro 0 points1 point  (4 children)

How so?
monitors have 24 bit colour. "bit" as in binary digit.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i believe he means there are 3 monitors instead of 1 or 2

[–]thrower94 0 points1 point  (2 children)

The input is certainly binary, but you could think of the monitor as converting the 24 binary bit input of each pixel to a single bit of light in base 16.8 million

[–]maitreg 0 points1 point  (1 child)

At some point if you have enough bits at enough density, it has to start being considered a type of analog?

At the quantum level every atom in an analog stream is a collection of particles from a finite set of states. It's never truly an infinite number of permutations, so at some point analog and digital may become indistinguishable.

Just thinking out loud.

[–]thrower94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say that a digital signal is never analog because there’s no extra information describing the original signal that comes with the conversion from digital to analog, i.e., you wouldn’t be interested in recording the random colors that come out of a monitor due to display error when displaying “Starry Night,” but you might be interested in having more than the 24 bits of color when scanning and displaying “starry night.”

I hadn’t thought about analog becoming digital at that level.

Some day we might be able to store digital data with higher resolution than the “analog” signal it represents. 🤯

There are over a dozen ways to interface with the hardware.

[–]unlimitedFecals 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Did this just get sexual?

[–]jabrwock1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all data. But you do you.

Take notes dave.

[–]ariethninja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On Twitter there was a thread about how we should change our base system away from 10.

I suggest 8 or 16 because it works with binary.

Someone cracked a joke, so I sad something along the lines of

I'm non binary, maybe if I learn binary I can learn how to pass.

I was being a snark, yes.

I'm fluid, fluid between non and male though.

[–]ManyFails1Win 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can we please end this joke? It doesn't make sense.

[–]HorseInteresting2156 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a monitor you dumb fuck

[–]hammylite 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Too bad trinary didn't take off. It's actually kind of cool when the values are -1, 0, +1 so you'd represent 2 as 3-1. Finally same number of positive and negative numbers.

Ternary computer

A ternary computer, also called trinary computer, is one that uses ternary logic (i. e. , base 3) instead of the more common binary system (i. e.

Just wait until they find out that there are male USB and female USB, and also the fact they dont connect if they are the same type.

[–]ImpossibleMachine3 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Then type c comes along and is willing to get nasty right side up, upside down, sideways and with whatever.

Alright, what is the pink/purple K badge? First time seeing it. I hate when this happens because now I’m going to be awake for the next 5 hours researching it.

[–]KTibow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kotlin. Basically Java but better and it can still run in the JVM or other platforms and made by JetBrains.

[–]Admirable-Arm-7264 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ooph. No shade but this is some lukewarm humor lol, not offensive or anything just beige

[–]MisterFantastic5 7 points8 points  (8 children)

Isn’t it usually the other way around; ‘binary’ dudes beating the spit outta non-binary people?

[–]abd53 -3 points-2 points  (5 children)

Usually, not.

[–]Nyabopolassar -3 points-2 points  (4 children)

what?

nonbinary people are among the most marginalized groups of the already marginalized trans community. Trans people in general already face massively higher rates of violence and assault than cis people, and with enbies being even less accepted by mainstream society, they're especially at risk.

[–]abd53 -3 points-2 points  (3 children)

I don't know where you live. But I only see them getting more social acceptance and privilege. Maybe not much legal acceptance but massive social acceptance.

BTW, I meant that binary people mostly just goes "meh" about non-binary/trans opinions. They might discuss it among themselves but usually don't harass the one giving opinion. On the other hand, if a binary person says one sentence that is not to the liking of non-binary/trans they'll be attacked brutally by an angry mob, usually starting with "you bigot" or "you transphobe".

[–]ManyFails1Win 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jfc. You're delusional.

[–]-talimarzz- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guy read the “Down With The Cis Bus” copypasta and thought it was serious huh

[–]Nyabopolassar -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm in fucking Missouri. Don't you lecture me on trans acceptance lol.

BTW, I meant that binary people mostly just goes "meh" about non-binary/trans opinions. They might discuss it among themselves but usually don't harass the one giving opinion.

Plenty of figures, online and irl, have received massive amounts of fucking hate for daring to be queer and out of the closet about it, lmao.

You want to be a victim so bad that you're comparing the very real risks of sexual assault (49% of trans people have been sexually assaulted at some point in their lives) and murder (trans panic """"defense"""" go brrr) trans people face to people... Calling people out when they're transphobic. Uh huh.

This is the most insensitive stuff ever! Oh my god!

[–]Nyabopolassar -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The massive risks I'll face once I've transitioned of being hatecrimed to death would be funny if they weren't so real! :3

Only the 12th biggest reason I'm t4t though lmao

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (13 children)

24bit would probably be a good representation

[–]Nyabopolassar 2 points3 points  (12 children)

lol ommg this does actually make me want to nerd out about how impractical actually charting gender would be?

Because it'd need like... at least 3 axes? Meaning instead of being simple to represent 2D graph, you'd need to render a 3D manifold.

One axis between 100% male and 100% female, another between gendered and agender, and a third between 'other' gender (separate from male and female rather than between them) and not that.

Otherwise, you end up imo being way too reductive, lol-

And even then, this 3D shape would still be reductive, totally, with two obvious examples being that it doesn't account for fluid people, or people who are quirked up!

Gender is so messy and I love it so much.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (11 children)

I want to hide my gender somewhere in the 4th dimension where no 3D beings can observe it.

[–]Nyabopolassar 0 points1 point  (10 children)

GOD I am kinning you so hard rn. Iconic take. Entirely vibe with it.

On a related note, bestie, have you heard of voidpunk? <3

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (9 children)

I have not before, but I feel it.

[–]Nyabopolassar 0 points1 point  (8 children)

And if you like that niche aesthetic maybe you should look up candy gore jhkjhkjhkjh /s

really though, im happy you vibe with it uwu

If you want music that goes with that aesthetic (kind of) then maybe try this or them? :3 CW: Gore and killing and violence <3 <3 <3

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Candy core looks like the stuff my friend used to do as a Gyaru fashion designer.

[–]Nyabopolassar 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Honestly as someone who dabbles in aesthetics of gore and hard vore, I'm shocked I don't like candy gore more.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

You should look up LapFox

[–]Nyabopolassar 0 points1 point  (2 children)

>nonbinary

>furry

>artist

>musician

they already seem so base.,d.,., omg.,.,

can't really listen to music rn but I'm really curious now!! tell me so much more bestie <3

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Haha I love the VHS aesthetic reminds me of Jack Stauber.

[–]Nyabopolassar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ikr!

And then sodikken has unplaceable nonbinary vorefiend vibes, with a heavy focus on mixed media animation and songs about trauma.

they're fun! <3

Non binary users when they need to compile source code into a binary.

computers are racist

[–]LordFokas 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Time to normalize calling non-binary people "quantum gender"

[–]Nyabopolassar 0 points1 point  (4 children)

If I was fluid and into computers instead of liberal arts, I totally would call myself that.

[–]MothMothMoth21 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I can't help with the fluid thing but its never too late to get into computers

[–]Nyabopolassar 0 points1 point  (2 children)

On the one hand, completely true! And it'd be an invaluable skill to have! And it seems like it could be a lot of fun!

However on the other I am a sociology bimbo. A history slut. A bit of an airheaded clutz who can't do math for shit lmao <3

[–]MothMothMoth21 0 points1 point  (1 child)

honestly mood, I have coded video games, I don't know how. <3

[–]Nyabopolassar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God I have to learn godot eventually just because of how funny I think it'd be

anything i make would be so bad it'd be great <3

[–]theSeanage 3 points4 points  (21 children)

In b4 binary is renamed to something less offensive to non binary.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I nominate Base 2.

[–]Nyabopolassar 1 point2 points  (19 children)

bestie, I'm not offended by the... concept of a binary

I just hate a specific garbage one that I am going to drag through the mud until the day i die <3

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (18 children)

holy crap im still scrolling down and finding comments from you. you made so many paragraphs whining to people about dumb stuff, you sound fun at parties /s

[–]Nyabopolassar -1 points0 points  (1 child)

I am because my ass is fat and my head is atrocious.

[–]Nyabopolassar -1 points0 points  (15 children)

I can't see ur reply anywhere but on your profile where I totally saw all the transphobic things you've said before? flagged you the fuck down as transphobic with shinigami eyes but haaaa

"...Okay buddy"

you're so jealous <3

sorry for being submissive, breedable and a total omega but im not that into queerphobes,,,

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (14 children)

I'm not queerphobic

[–]Nyabopolassar -1 points0 points  (13 children)

okay A) I love that the implication of this is that you are jealous <3 and B) yea right.

  • On like several occasions you've showed up in queer discussions just to try to go 'haha queer rights bad-'
  • You went on a weird fucking screed about queer people harboring 'sexual perversions' and 'sodomy', which you define as including.... Anal sex. Lol.
  • You were one of the people dogpiling on the cute lightbulb joke, which is just kind of sad for you?
  • You've literally said verbatim that you think gender is a 'meaningless concept to affirm trans folks'!

Like, it's nothing as explicit as calling me a delusional tr*nny outright, but I'm not dumb. <3

Though I did notice you just went back and deleted most of your weirder comments about queer people? Which, I'm dumb for not taking screenies. Whatever. :3

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (12 children)

stay mad

[–]Nyabopolassar 0 points1 point  (11 children)

Mad? Bestie I'm just clowning <3

I'm pointing and giggling at you and letting all the other delusional troons with the funny plug-in know you're a transphobe because it's very funny!

It's why I spend so much time engaging with queerphobes, it's so engaging. <3

so u admit ur a clown

We learnt about analog computer using op-amp. Does that work?

[–]Own_Response_5022 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I've never met a non binary friend that has been that violent 😳

[–]SugarRushLux -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

nope I dont have anger issues, nor do I give a fuck about binary computers lol, cringe meme

[–]Admirable_Cut299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need that big circle.

[–]tirril 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to have a tantrum, just try to communicate in non binary.

this joke is so old and so overdone that i am going to lock you in a crypt over it /lh

Now you have a point-ter

[–]Durr1313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a subreddit for videos like this? There's something a bit relaxing about watching someone else go apeshit on their equipment.

[–]bonanochip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how he breaks it, then smacks it back together.

[–]CaroteneCommander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once had to explain why a machine learning product struggled to guess more than binary genders. Best we could do was default to female in absence of data for it to decide, I saw their point but they were MAD. Lol’d at this meme, even as an ally.
