When do we get to break away from binary as the core of computing?

Nice try SJW you can't push your quantum genders on me

>>61256701
once they publicize quantum computers
so, never

>>61256887
im sure they'll come out with it after graphene's used up its time

>>61256701
At the same time that the rest of humanity breaks away from base 10.

When we try the ternary system again, though I'd wonder how many things going from 0, 1 to -1, 0, 1 fuck up

Interestingly I just saw a post about analog computing on hackermemes
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14714034

Also I think hardware neural network circuits won't necessarily have to be binary, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to implement spiking neurons and shit in hardware I'd say.

How would if statements work if theres a third state?

>>61257215
maybe

>>61257215
Just like switch statements obviously.
But there are other possibliities, especially when you have way more than 3 states, like fuzzy logic stuff or probabilistic computing.

Can't wait for my processor to fuck up when someone decides to use microwave.

Or booleans for that matter

false, somewhat, true

When we get to biological computing, which will be much more likely than quantom computing.

spiking neurons are shit and much of the research into making neural networks efficient works, ironically, with binarized neural nets.

there are efforts to create huge spiking neural nets (derided by most of the machine learning community as an useless endeavor, considering how little we know about them we can't possibly hope to implement them right now)

neural network hardware also already exists, check out TPUs from google. One of the main selling points is that they can work with 8bit quantization very fast, compared to fp16 which is the least amount of precision you can get on today's GPUs. Current architectures don't need that much precision to perform at their best, quite the opposite.

john von neumann was designing it before he died. was a genius that guy...

>>61257215
I imagine that switch statements would probably resolve to default rather than a definite yes or no

switch(variable){
case 1:Print("1"); break;
case 2:Print("2"); break;
default:
Print("default);
}

>>61256887
Trinary is more than possible now...

>>61256701
It is the most practical known way of computing. Period. Quantum computing isn't going to be a replacement, it's simply a value add. Linear calculations can't be done in a quantum computer, and software as it exists now, is linear.
