Actually, modern computers consume LESS energy than ever, thats the whole point. But besides that, computers running on fossil fuels is not a universal law. In countries where the energy mix is higher in renewables, they run on renewables.

@@user-pj1nh9pf1e I meam to be fair doesn't sound like you know what you're talking about and if you are gonna ask for my credentials then I'm in my second year of my degree in Computer Engineering. So either you are not being clear enough or you're just putting words together
I came here after Veritasium piqued my interest.

Analog computing for high precision matrix multiplication
It’s just ahead of our time and it sounds very big brain to me
I think we’ll see artificial intelligence accelerating cards based on analog computing in this few years
This is huge. This presentation is ahead of its time.
This is an excellent presentation and I am eager to learn more about analog computers.
I remember we were forced to use analog computers in our control system class a few years back.
OMG this is revolutionary... 👏🏻👏🏻
Moore's law won't hold, heat is becoming a big issue when trying to shrink transistors even more.
10y.o laptop versus a “brand new” one and he says they’re roughly the same speed like ?????
the 10 yo laptop is not orders of magnitude slower which is the point. You don't understand the talk
Yeah , the 10 yo adds two numbers in 0.0001 seconds , the new one adds two numbers in 0.00001 seconds ,
As we can see that is a noticable difference for a human being ,
However both computers will last the same time battery wise
he meant speed in terms of cpu frequency
How would you make an analog microchip ?
How would that even work ?
It would work like your speaker or microphone.
There won't be a universal microchip :
Rather many ad-hock electronic components that get connected by crossbars and are able to be connected between each other and modulated finely to make specific calculation really frequently ,
I would suggest you to look up the analog thing , it's an electric analog computer that can perform many different operations by combining those components ,

Like and ASIC, I see it as application specific. Custom, efficient analog circuit for a specific task.
There are already chips that deals in analog/ having analog signals inside.
For example, DAC/ ADC for Digital/ Analog sound signal conversion.
genius
"A bit more general purpose"
I ordered one btw

I think you missed the point of this ted talk...
You have missed the point of this video
@@gooser__43 Well sweden is one which is getting there
Have you tried a more powerful transistors or octo CPU chips
Do you know what transistors are ?
Are you a scientist, please let me know.
@@user-pj1nh9pf1e ok , so you can search on Wikipedia what transistors are , in all honesty scientists are just regular pepole who know how to prove wrong their assumptions about the material world and are humble enough to know when they are wrong ...
Anyhow : transistors are essentially switches , like those for the lights at home , that instead of getting turned on or off by a finger get turned on or off by an electrical current ,
And since they let electricity trough they can turn other transistors on or off ,
Calling a transistor "more powerful" (as far as i know) makes little sense because transistors let currents pass trough them ,
There are power transistors that can handle large currents , but they are ofthen used to turn large stuff on or off , not for computers , they would make a really large cumbersome computer since they fit in the palm of an hand ,
What you want for a computer is smaller and faster transistors , since you're then able to fit more transistors in a smaller space , and have them able to perform more operations in less time ,
There are other components that do the same thing as transistors ( relays and termoionic valves ( also known as vacuum tubes ) ) however they are larger and more prone to failures ( the relays have more moving parts than either , and the vacuum tubes are encased in glass tubes in a partial vacuum that is vulnerable to breaking and leaks ) and so the transistor has come to prevail ...

Transistor is the MAIN COMPONENT for digital computers. While for the analog one, search Operational Amplifier or Op-Amp
