Why are booleans binary? Hot and cold aren't absolute.
>>
>>51681697
Good luck writing the simplest of loop conditions with fuzzy logic.
>>
>>51681697

True or false, nigga.
>>
>>51681697
because you're retarded logic is fucked up. It's not about absolute values. It's about yes or no.
>>
>>51681710
Is it cold outside?
>>
Let's also make it so that binary isn't absolute.

depends on what you think is cold.

cold does not exist

cold is the absence of heat

you mean when atoms stop

because there is no heat or energy?

It's a little chilly, not really cold though, might need a long sleeve shirt or a light jacket if you're gonna be out there for a while.

Binary is a social construct.
>>
>>51681845
Heat is also an abstract concept. It doesn't exist.
>>
>>51681937
particles are abstract, too. we still consider them to 'exist'. it's all ideas. everything. turtles all the way down.
>>
>>51681820

Declare s scope first you cawk.
Then determine if it's cold or not.

A boolean can take 0-255 since it's just a byte anyway. But it's fucking called a boolean for a reason.

That's too much for /g/, man. They can't comprehend computer science beyond programming languages.

>>51684249

fuzzy logic is a legit programming paradigm just saying
>>
Then use an int. Or a float.
And a function like bool isCold(float temperature).

Whoop-dee-doo, we didn't even have to invent anything fancy to solve this problem! We might even introduce a second variable, a person, or even a generic animal, and check whether a certain temparature is cold for them!

Now go back to PHP and echo HTTP header strings like a monkey.

People use fuzzy logic all over the place.
But it is still built on top of boolean logic. Using boolean logic at the hardware level is SO much easier and faster. It's better to build fuzzy logic on top of boolean rather than implementing fuzzy logic directly.

I bet we could had precise analog computers based on heat, pressure or sound if some faggot hadn't invented this.

Here, be enlightened /g/entoomen: http://www.seattlerobotics.org/encoder/mar98/fuz/fl_part1.html
>>
>>51684174
It completely depends on the implementation. In practice you're right though. Bools are saved as 8 bits(bytes)
>>
>>51684739
Even analog is actually digital because quantum mechanics.
>>
>>51684174
Many (most?) programming languages won't let you do that.
>>
>>51681697
You have electrons flowing or you don't.

Fucking hipsters....
>>
>>51682056
Prove it?
>>
>>51686687
It's impossible to ever reach it. Haven't read physics for years so can't explain more.
>>
>>51686837
So according to your logic, the speed of light isn't a thing either.
>>
>>51687325
when it comes to the speed of light, there's actually particles that move at that speed so the speed of light is definitely a thing.
>>
>>51686686
Electrons have probabilistic position and momentum you moron
>>
>>51681972
Uh particles exist are very very real. However, there is a such thing as quasiparticles which aren't really particles, but collective action that behaves as if the particles were there.
>>
>>51686687
Absolute zero means absolutely no motion which implies that there is absolutely no energy. Since no system is truly closed and energy cannot be created or destroyed, this means that absolute zero cannot truly exist because there is energy in our universe.

Also there's the cosmic microwave background which is literally everywhere in the universe and means that all points in space have some sort of energy.
>>
>>51687398
This
>>
>>51687398
No. There aren't 'particles' moving at c.
>>
>>51688210
Photons are
>>
>>51688210
>photons don't move at the speed of light
>inb4 no true vacuum arguments
>>
>>51688251
Learn to quantum field theory, scrub. Photons are just excitations of the electromagnetic field. They're not particles, nor are they waves.
>>
>>51688267
That's how QFT treats it, but it doesn't invalidate all of the other physics that treats photons as particles moving at the speed of light.
>>
>>51686687
look for zero in the nature. there are no such thing as empty glass, is just a glass when it has zero content.
zero is was created by humans
>>
>>51688316
Name one part of Physics that treats it as a 'particle' that doesn't have a better QFT treatment

Is there a way to do simple stuff like geometric optics while taking into account QFT? I honestly don't know.

Since when is fuzzy logic 8th grade math?

Also it doesn't seem like the anon wanted to brag or anything.

Yeah, it's quite nice actually, the classical results fall right out

>>51681697

Absolute cold does exist, anon. It's -273.15C in Gods Own temperature scale. Fuck knows what that is in American, probably "minus eleventy period gibber" or something

>>51681697
By definition boolean is a data-type having two states. So, kinda natural that a base-2 system would assume that you would only want to allocate 1 flip-flop to that. OP, you should learn to use an A/D converter and more bits.

because at a low level everything is binary from particles to transistors

regardless of the state of the actual matter logic has to be binary at some level

every event can ultimately be boiled down to a yes or no, regardless of the effects of the events, how it came around or anything else

the only thing that isn't binary is choice, although through circumstance that can often just be binary anyway

Probably a troll but..

No. No other discrete electronic component would come close to be as small as modern transistors.

>heat
not accurate, predictable etc
>pressure
how would we measure that?
>sound
nope, just nope

>have a temperature sensor
>goes from 0-100
>do different things when it reaches different values
hurr I'm using super special logic
>>
>>51681697
cold = temp < 10
warm = temp >= 10 && temp < 30
hot = temp >= 30

Transitions don't matter, square waves do that too and we just disregard it
