    Imagine trying to use words to describe every scene in a film, every note in a song, or every street in your town. Now imagine trying to do it using only the numbers 1 and 0. Every time you use the Internet to watch a movie, listen to music, or check directions, that’s exactly what your device is doing, using the language of binary code. José Américo N L F de Freitas explains how binary works.

      Hey, TED-Ed, just so you know, poisonous mushrooms dont exist, so many people confuse them with toadstools, toadstools are poisonous, and mushrooms canNOT be poisounous

      TED-Ed I noticed that the quote "there is only 10 types of people in the world the ones who understand binary and the ones who dont" the 10 was in binary witch translates to 2

      Can you explain ternary and quantum now?
      How does the processor even understand an option other than 0 or 1/yes or no?
      What is the third state?

    I'm always blown away by how far we've come and created with just 1s and 0s. Freaking crazy

      I was always amazed how morse code operators could translate inhumanly fast, yet that speed is probably a million , billion or trillion times slower than a modern CPU processing what is essentially still morse code (binary).

      Goes way back before computers, Creation of binary code inspired by 5,000-year-old text.

      That's partially true, the only thing that it's done with 0's and 1's is store information. Everything else is physical.

      > seems like I still don't get it lol
      I can try to make it clearer. This video has 2 parts:
      1. Binary - a useful way to store and process information in computers using 2 digits. Most math operations work the same as we are used to, we just need to translate from 2 to 10 digits - and by the way, it's possible to work with as many digits as you want to - 2, 3, 4, 8, 16, you name it. Binary just happens to be convenient for computers.
      2. Information - if everything is numbers (doesn't matter how many digits), how does the system differ between numbers, text, pixels and sounds? Basically, one technique is labeling things, for example TYPE - INFORMATION. If text was 0 and numbers were 1, the first digit of a number would define a type. And 0010 were either "C" or "2", the representation for "C" would be 00010 and for "2" would be 10010 (these are made up numbers, but the concept still applies).

      The next layer is logic gates. These are devices (circuits) that can do stuff with the basic definitions of say numbers, and produce a single binary output. There's AND, OR, NOR, etc. Given an input 1 and input 2, they output a result. These gates are in themselves binary (or called boolean), they either allow or deny "something" to pass through.

      ASCII only contains 127 characters, mostly Western symbols. UTF-8 is a specific encoding of the Unicode character set, which has room for billions of characters. It includes every known alphabet along with Asian character sets (e.g. Kanji), punctuation, mathematical symbols, etc, with room to spare.

      I'm 1, 6 and 8 in your scale (the one who liked the video). However, I think you are actually type 11(decimal), or 1011 (binary, and no, I didn't search anywhere else how to write that in binary, I already knew it) or 10 (base 11)

    Nice video, but there's a mistake about UTF-8. UTF-8 doesn't store everything in 8 bits, that's ASCII. The length of characters in UTF-8 can vary.

    • @thearmyofiron
      @thearmyofiron Před 5 lety

      Okx A Pretty sure ASCII stores it in 7 bit with 1 bit for error thing, so...8 bit

    • @okxa8857
      @okxa8857 Před 5 lety +2

      ASCII stores in 8 bit but uses only 7 bits. There's a thing called extended ASCII however which uses 8 bits.

    • @SomeRandomPiggo
      @SomeRandomPiggo Před rokem

      You can still store everything as 8 bits though, it's the reason for the 8 in UTF-8. For example, an emoji may be stored as 32 bits, but thanks to Unicode magic you can just store it as "11110000100111111010010010010011"

      -Those who still don't understand that 10 in a natural base "x" can represent any natural number in decimal;
      -Those who have no Idea of what we are talking about;
      -Those who still find this joke to be funny;
      -And finally, those who think base 6 is the best.

    • @stevencp
      @stevencp Před 5 lety

      I think you missed the point- '10' is 2 in binary

    • @mparagames
      @mparagames Před 5 lety

      No, I didn't, I already knew that, but actually, the number "10" can be equal to any number in decimal, depending on the base it was represented. For an example, "10" in hexadecimal means 16 in decimal, 20 in octal, and 10000 in binary. In that case, if "10" is in senary, it equals to 6 in decimal, that's why I separeted the people in six groups in my version of the joke.

      electricity runs the 1s & 0s machines, while oil runs the physical machines. Modern life would not work without oil, but can, and did without computers. There would not be so much demand for computers if it wasnt for oil, and everything it has made possible, which DEPENDS on oil. In other words, the modern world can run without computers (like before internet), but not oil... so 'oil' is still the root that runs ALL

    Something interesting I read is how easy it is to perfectly capture music. There’s this theorem, the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem, which basically says if you have a continuous analogue signal (such as a sound wave) that has a frequency of N, you can perfectly capture it as a discrete binary signal with no loss of detail by just sampling at a rate of 2N. While it goes into more detail, the end result is the same, namely that any sample rate greater than twice the frequency of the analogue signal you’re trying to capture is a waste.
