What is an analog computer? The only thing I have is the simple brain God gave me. All these new fangled electronics confuse me. So I must needs to use what the good lord gave me. Wonder if it's up to the task?Don't think I'll ever use a computer much it seems to me this simple brain is easier to use than all those new fangled things.
I have to know, how did you manage to connect your simple brain to the internet? Back in the old days, it used to be possible to whistle a carrier tone into the phone, but I've never known anyone who could transmit and receive data that way.
I have children for that haaa haaa heee heee. You see they do more than take out the trash these days.
> What is an analog computer?
There are analog computers and digital computers. Digital computers are the most common and you're using one now to read this.
Digital computers have a fixed number of "states". The smallest unit of memory in a digital computer is a bit, it can be 1 or 0, nothing else. So if a digital computer has a billion bits of memory, it can have 2 to the billionth states - a fixed number.
Analog computers don't have a fixed number of states. They might use voltage levels instead of bits. A level can be 0, 1, .5, .25, .125, ... etc.
An easy way to think of the difference is with watches. A digital watch can only display a fixed number of times: 12:00:00, 12:00:01, etc. An analog watch (one that uses hands) can theoretically display an infinite number of times: 12:00:00.01, 12:00:00.001, 12:00:00.0001, etc.
I have never heard of an application of analog computers for blackjack.

fuzzy logic on an analog computer might be just as utilitarian as any binary system, if not more so, for BlackJack or any decision making process with gray area data.
Also mention by Alan Wilson and by others of an analog computer using the 10 count tested back then.
