@yogthos but how does an analog computer work? What is it made of?

@abuseofnotation pretty sure it's still metal–oxide–semiconductor integrated circuits

@yogthos yeah, I thought so too, interesting what is the difference

@abuseofnotation key advantage over digital circuits is that it's not discrete computing, for things like neural networks you're tuning potentials and that's a lot cheaper to do using analog computing
