I started an analog computer "google group" because the only other one I am aware of is on Facebook. Yeah, no shit.

I'm not really looking for analogue computers anymore but I could not resist this small one: a gorgeous Philbrick Researches RP-F manifold from around 1966. I have not yet checked if it is still operational...

Residual learning enables analog AI training with few bits
Residual learning spreads training over cross‑bar tiles; each four‑bit tile models the residual error, achieving linear convergence and accuracy surpassing analog methods. Read more: getnews.me/residual-learning-enable... #analogcomputing #memristor

Encountered this box with my first attempts at video analog computing circuits. This is obviously from the pre-BNC-era, so that must be 10-11 years ago.

The "Liberate the Machines!" book is starting to be available so I made a page for it even if it hasn't had a launch moment yet.

Ever heard of a computer that uses water to solve complex math problems? 🌊💡
In 1936, Soviet engineer Vladimir Lukyanov created the Water Integrator—an analog computer using water flow, gravity, and pipes to solve differential equations.

Sooo. Ich hab jetzt mal die aktuelle Fassung meines slide decks zum Thema #AnalogComputing als Version 1.0 definiert und sage mal „fertig“. 🙈 Bin gespannt, wie die ersten Zuhörer es nächste Woche finden werden … #anabrid #TheAnalogThing #HybridComputing #Arduino #ai
AI will soon demand more energy than the world can currently supply. Unlike AI, biology solves problems efficiently, without massive energy consumption—our brains are not digital computers.

A hand holds an electronics module; from the back we see a front panel with 20 connections going to a circuit board filled with electronic components.
The 20-channel DAC module still in progress but we're getting there; code and testing is next.

Hybridization in progress; spot the odd one out !

I see #AnalogComputing referenced a lot, recently with much of it stating a “return” of analog computers.
“The news of my demise has been premature.”
Your smartphone has at least 3 analog processors: accelerometer, gyroscope, image.
They’re ubiquitous; you just didn’t know the name for it.
A piece of perfboard with many electronic components.
20-channel DAC module in progress !

A front panel of an electronics module, populated with 20 red-coloured BNC connectors in a grid-like pattern, with one empty spot.
Very basic frontpanel for the new module that is in progress: there will be an ethernet/RJ45 connector in the spot that is still empty.

An electronics breadboard with a tangle of wires. An ESP32 system-on-a-chip microcontroller is connected to several other electronic components.
Hybridization in progress ! I had not done this for a loooong time, but I really enjoy prototyping like this.

In the center an analogue monitor showing a complex line pattern, on top of an EAI TR-48 analogue computer from 1963. On the left a voltmeter and an oscilloscope displaying some control signals.
A view of the studio in October 2020 that didn't make it into the book, this was during the making of my film "Mechanisms Common to Disparate Phenomena; #59".

A black box labeled 'GAP/R' with four inputs, a graduated dial, and two outputs.
From the "Liberate the Machines !" book: an adder module from one of the first commercial analog computing systems, manufactured by George Philbrick Researches in the early 1950's. From my own collection, picture by Isabelle Vigier.

Two Tektronix analogue vector monitors on top of each other, the bottom one shows a circle, to top one a chaotic pattern.
Selecting images for the 'Liberate the Machines !' book: this is from August 2017 when I first encountered chaos in an analog computing patch. I was trying to reproduce the system that Yoshisuke Ueda used in 1961.

A tangle of BNC-cables connecting analog modules on the left with videoswitchers on the right.
Getting back into working on #83: algorithmically evolving analog computing patches to produce HD electronic image sequences. Trying to channel the specific anarchistic potential of evolvable hardware into the production of images.

What I still struggle to understand is why we use a digital output for such a sophisticated, higher-dimensional computing system as a quantum computer? #DigitalComputing #AnalogComputing #QuantumComputing
