Hybrid & Analog Computing

Analog computing is the idea of non-digital computing. Not quanta, but non-digital, basically using analog circuits, either electrical circuits or potentially even mechanical or fluid circuits, to perform calculations and control systems. These are surprisingly common, especially in older devices, but less common in current and modern devices. But they're making a comeback, in part because they're very fast and efficient, but also because with AI tooling and digital twinning, we can design these circuits much more effectively. With 3D fabrication we can actually create these circuits more effectively if they're mechanical. Transcript: https://otter.ai/u/WRIb_V_hWt9KBcbCXYX6z_dD1Ps?utm_source=copy_url
