Speaking of Analog computation:

A single artificial neuron could be implemented as:

Weighted Sum

Using a summing amplifier:

net = Σ_i (Rf/Ri * xi)

Where resistor ratios set the synaptic weights.

Activation Function

Common op-amp activation circuits:

Saturating function: via op-amp with clipping diodes → approximated sigmoid

Hard limiter: comparator behavior for step activation

Tanh-like response: differential pair circuits

Learning

Early analog systems often lacked on-device learning; weights were manually set with potentiometers or stored using:

Memristive elements (recent)

Floating-gate MOSFETs

Programmable resistor networks

Digital Cash was invented by David Chaum in 1982, and developed by his company DigiCash in 1990. I read about it years before Cryptonomicon.

How did his books PREDICT crypto when we had eCash way before any of his books? SMH.

Ilya "Undercover Genocide Supporter" Sutskever... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

because most people are incompetent, produce incidental complexity to satisfy internal urge for busy work, and under-think the problem, greatly... that's why, and don't get me started on the morons who run the show

Very terrible idea. Downvote me.

Jeff Bezos is not a net positive to humanity. If we ignored people like him, the world would be a better place...

It’s good but Gemini 3 beats it.

not possible on ARC-AGI, AFAIK

The perfect down-vote attractor:

This is such a stupid and meaningless thing to discuss (whatever Cook's plans are), as he has no personality and no vision, and yet tons of reflective and philosophical comments in here.
