Analog Computing Is a Lie. Here’s the Truth About Why It Actually Works.
Analog computing has been stuck for decades β not because of physics, but because of a single assumption: that you need analog-to-digital converters to make it work. You don’t. Machine learning is inherently noise-tolerant, which means the very thing that killed analog computing is the thing ML was built to survive. Delete the ADC, and you unlock up to 1000x lower energy than digital. The breakthrough isn’t a better component. It’s the courage to remove one.
