===> HE UNDERSTANDS <===

There are 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who understand binary mathematics And those who don’t.

This is how binary system works. Great explanation!

There are 10 types of people in this world. Those who know how to read binary and those who don't.

Is there not a table in the room?

There's 10 kind of people. Who knows the binary and who don't know.

I once taught a Royal Engineer how to count on his fingers in binary — he was a big fan of 4, and could see that being useful.

This is the same mechanism found in the analog odometer in cars. Great way to teach binary counting!

I could have made use of that in college. 🤓

This must be how programmers counted in binary before computers were invented.

@Grok how does binary language deal with letters rather than numerals?

Así funcionan todos los sistemas de numeración, incluido el decimal. Cómo crees que funciona un cuentakilómetros o cualquier contador analógico?

My age in binary has 7 digits.

Era um tempo em que as contas eram feitas com pedras e sementes, agora até isso parece avançado.

The binary system operates using base-2, where each digit represents a power of two. The wooden counter visually demonstrates this by having positions that correspond to 1, 2, 4, 8, and so on, allowing users to physically represent numbers through the combination of these positions.

I always thought it was left to right, not right to left. But I suppose if you start with all zeros it makes zero difference

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those who do not.

Look at him smiling like a kid found his new toy😁

I remember having to do math with it! "The Principles of Mathematics" what an exciting course! 😂😵💫

Called math.

If my YupNup score is 1800, what would it be in binary?👀

Notice each new digit is a power of 2

It doesn't automatically rollover like that. And a one in the left-most digit is typically a one's complement representation for negative numbers

禿げてるなぁ

You are right 👍👍😊😊

Interesting

Wow it is great

👀

Crypto holders ...Not having this!

it's just lowest and similar wit hour<minute~second<ticle<Binary🫴🏻 The first one to mpve before the frontline o clock move🫴🏻

One kind of binary system, other binary systems exist that are error corrected. Tell us about them @grok

OK, but a million times slower.... Processor could have counted to 2^32 before he got to the first flip.

これ商品化して欲しいな。 正直言って二進法全く仕組み知らんし、この機械においての桁の数とか位置とかとの二進法での数字との関係性がよく分からないからさっぱり分からんけど、ある程度の知識があれば多分分かりやすそうってイメージはある。
