Sooo. Ich hab jetzt mal die aktuelle Fassung meines slide decks zum Thema #AnalogComputing als Version 1.0 definiert und sage mal „fertig“. 
Bin gespannt, wie die ersten Zuhörer es nächste Woche finden werden … #anabrid #TheAnalogThing #HybridComputing #Arduino #ai
AI will soon demand more energy than the world can currently supply. Unlike AI, biology solves problems efficiently, without massive energy consumption—our brains are not digital computers.

Arbeite weiter an meinem kleinen Slide Deck zum Thema #AnalogComputing … Das wird ein Spaß! Vor allem, wenn ich den aus einem „THe Analog Thing“ (THAT) und einem #Arduino selbst gebauten #HybridComputer live demonstrieren kann!
Hybridization still in progress; spot the odd one out !

Hybridization in progress ! I had not done this for a loooong time, but I really enjoy prototyping like this.
Dear all, I hope to embark on a small US tour in the spring, so far with dates in Boston, Buffalo, College Station and Dallas. Between those last two I still have a gap in my schedule from Thursday the 27th to Sunday the 30th of March, would anybody have a suggestion for a place to screen my most recent film or give a talk or - even better - both, preferably in Texas or in a state not far from Texas ? 1/2
From the "Liberate the Machines !" book: an adder module from one of the first commercial analog computing systems, manufactured by George Philbrick Researches in the early 1950's. From my own collection, picture by Isabelle Vigier.

Selecting images for the 'Liberate the Machines !' book: this is from August 2017 when I first encountered chaos in an analog computing patch. I was trying to reproduce the system that Yoshisuke Ueda used in 1961.

Getting back into working on #83: algorithmically evolving analog computing patches to produce HD electronic image sequences. Trying to channel the specific anarchistic potential of evolvable hardware into the production of images.

Listened to this Story by Charles Platt on WIRED from last year (2023) earlier today and found it amazingly insightful and enlightening about current - and very likely also future - technological developments around "Analog Computing"
To summarize it with his words:
"Analog is dead.
Long live analog."
I really recommend this for anyone interested in current and future technological developments - also, but not exclusively involving "A.l.".

Brain-inspired analog computing platform. Today’s digital computing based on silicon transistor technology and the standard Von Neumann architecture is running up against processing speed and energy-efficiency limits.

Quite the lengthy (yet interesting) introduction to this paper:
"Nanosecond protonic programmable resistors for analog deep learning" by Onen et al. 2024 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abp8064
... authored by MIT Prof. Bilge Yildiz among others, who just completed her sabbatical year in Cambridge, at the chemistry department and in our #Pembroke1347 college. Was such a wonderful visitor – her research is fascinating.

@ianbobmorris I keep waiting to hear they are using analog tech for AI. NVidia hardware has the Von Neumann Bottleneck--seems like analog computing could get around it. https://www.techopedia.com/definition/14630/von-neumann-bottleneck #analogcomputing #analog
Ihr wollt mal einen Analogrechner programmieren, wisst aber nicht woher nehmen, wenn nicht stehlen? Well … könnta kaufen. Bei der Firma Anabrid. In Deutschland. Was das Kasterl ist und wie es dazu kam, könnt ihr z. B. auch hier nachlesen: https://www.electronicdesign.com/blogs/nonlinearities/article/55089053/electronic-design-so-what-if-that-analog-computer-was-cheaper-than-a-smartphone-part-1
Disclaimer: Ich bin mit den Leuten weder verwandt noch verschwägert, aber über meine Alteisensammelei mit Bernd – dem Ideengeber und Hauptentwickler – verbunden. Ich habe hier freilich auch einen THAT. #analogcomputing #that
