I have always thought that digital killed analogue prematurely and unnecessarily. I hope this works out.

Surely mechanical clocks are digital in the sense that time is quantized into ticks by the escapement. The various gears do not rotate continuously.

    “Discrete” does not mean “digital”.

    Digital logic is the system of gates and switches that we use as an abstraction layer over analog circuits. AND, OR, XOR, etc.

    You certainly could build logic gates out of gears, and this would be a digital mechanical computer. But it’s not often done.

      I thought digital meant you use your fingers. I use my fingers a lot with my computer

Don't you just love how marketing has to slap a "AI" paragraph in there?

The bigger deal is 200mW for 30Ghz. Which incidentally... Is probably never going to be nice for modern AI.

It seems it will still use some digital process to encode and decode whatever is transmitted or received, I could be misreading it.
