I read the question as who will be the most convincing and concvince the other one, so I voted Sheen

Tbf, anytime I think of a poll in the middle of the day. I tell myself its gay and retarded about 1 minute after.
that is also true
polls are either by the pollmaster, whomever that may be in the current arc, or its some weird vc argument/discussion

won't top the woman, but it's pretty good

spobgobob vs bgi gbgbny
This is the worst poll you have done
I am effectively vetoing your poll powers after this one
Replying to Jaz #hick_dead This seems extremely niche, which I enjoy but I don't know ANYTHING about ANYTHING about what you just said, im sorry
That's what the video links are for. So you can get informed opinions on their feats. (the Australian Fast Bowler one is a 1 minute out of character interview, followed by a 10 minute compilation)
true
it was a sign from above
should pirate do a poll

I have been wondering why this doesnt exist yet, and now it does.

because switching between on and off
If you can evaluate more than 2 states, you're better off dumping resources into quantum
I'm actually coming around to this, it has no application, but it does seem fun
the sort of thing I could see a university building an undergrad course/lab around
I think there's no pure compute application
but I would be curious for signals with a high number of symbols, if the curve of a ternary processor ever crossed over into being more efficient than a significantly more powerful binary processor
I would assume the same, you wouldn't be able to miniaturize it anywhere near as efficiently
even if 2-state microelectronics aren't actually "on/off"
yeah, I think you could make a really cool lab around it
and because it's going to be friendly to less cutting-edge equipment, you can probably actually work on larger chips in a normal setting
I gaurentee you there will be niche math edgecases where doing something like this is beneficial, but this does not seem like something that will beat out binary computations
In my courses, we just refer to them as trinary units
I also would not call them trits
bits makes sense to shorten because it both sounds good, and also that is the most common unit you would use (second most common being natural units or nats)
at higher levels of abstraction, we're really good at modulation, look at some of the absurd WiFi7 QAM standards
I think there is probably some niche region, where a trinary microcontroller could more efficiently perform
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak bits makes sense to shorten because it both sounds good, and also that is the most common unit you would use (second most common being natural units or nats)
it also sounds good because it has real world application and understanding
I do not believe that is a good reason, since if we were int he weird trinary computing world where that was more useful, trits would still sound weird
