analog computing for moron, it only work on paper

Analog computing might seem like a relic from the past or a paper-only fantasy, but it’s actually a fascinating and powerful concept—especially when you strip it down to its essentials. Here's a breakdown that even a self-proclaimed "moron" can appreciate:





What Is Analog Computing?

• Analog computers use continuous physical quantities—like voltage, current, or mechanical motion—to represent and solve problems.
• Instead of binary 0s and 1s like digital computers, they model equations directly using physical systems.

How It Works (In Simple Terms)

• Imagine solving a math problem by building a circuit or turning knobs.
• You set up resistors, capacitors, and amplifiers to mimic the behavior of an equation.
• The output (like a voltage level) gives you the solution instantly—no need to crunch numbers.

What It's Good For

• Real-time simulations: Great for modeling things like flight dynamics or nuclear reactions.
• Solving differential equations: Analog systems can do this naturally and fast.
• No need for programming: Just wire it up and go.

Sources:





Why It “Only Works on Paper” (Sometimes)

• Precision limits: Physical components have tolerances, noise, and drift.
• Scalability: Hard to build large, complex analog systems.
• Reproducibility: Digital systems are easier to copy, debug, and scale.
• Modern dominance: Digital computing is cheaper, more flexible, and easier to integrate.

Analog computing is just very specialized machine using everything available to achieve very specific result. What this means they could still be using chips but very very specialized chips that do that one thing very good. They also use other type of technologies into the mix. They will link all these electronics with wire and what's not to get very specific result. It basically trying to make a very specialized computer with different parts just to do very specific task.

Simply put, it lacks flexibility that of a digital computer, not something a consumer can afford since you need a very specialized team to custom build a machine to do very specific task. The machine could also be very big.

Huh mean same the ww1 or ww2 the amdk use to solve or crack german codes ah. Got one movie about it leh. Sibei dua ki machine they keeps turning like breaking safe codes

there's a 4000 module call coding theory, go study it and you understand better than it mean for analog programming and hardware
