How hard is it to design a transistor with 10 different states to encode decimal numbers literally the way God intended. Binary would become completely unnecessary

How hard is it to design a transistor with 10 different states to encode decimal numbers literally the way God intended.
inefficient and difficult to do.
And why do that instead of using binary ones?
Whoa
where is the penis?
in your pants, you fricking troon
Dunning Kruger in the flesh
no need to design a new transistor, transistors are already analog devices, there's already nothing stopping you using 10 different voltage levels for logic, it just requires a ton more precision
it's much simpler and faster to use less states
the more voltage levels you designate to logic states, the narrower the voltage range for a state is, making it require more precision to hit and making it more susceptible to noise
This is just bullshit from me cause I know you can basically only use electricity, but if you can use a 2nd (or 3rd, or 4th, etc) medium as an input in the same device to produce a different output, wouldn't that eliminate the problem of noise?
Humor me so I can learn here please. Let's say you had a transistor that could accept voltage as a 1 or 0 input and/or light as a 1 or 0 input and/or water as a 1 or 0 input.
If the transistor was able to produce a different output state based on each combination of the presence/absence of each input you would effectively have an octal device, would you not?
Definitely wouldn't work, would be moronic, and etc, but this would remove the question of noise as long as the mediums didn't interfere with each other's presence and function, right?

It's important to note that I'm human
i must stop talking the way you do. Including and beginning with this post.
If you don't have an answer to the question, why even reply? Just say you don't know and move on.
Anon you've just made a digital-to-analog converter except some of the signals aren't electric (they're all binary).
I'm not sure what the point here is.
>anon makes noise trying to eliminate noise
a transistor is a pretty simple device in principal, you have 3 legs, the collector, the base, and the emitter, they're in the line with the base in the middle. you have voltage on the collector, and when you apply voltage to the base, a proportional amount of power is allowed through from the collector to the emitter
it works not unlike a water valve, with the collector being the inlet, emitter the outlet, and the base the handle, the more you turn the handle, the more water is allowed to pass through
the voltage coming out of the emitter is proportional to the voltage applied to the base

anin, i....

Makes you wonder if not a binary system is the "holy" one, not the base-10 or base-5 "human" systems.
Might be worth mentioning that there is a base-4 logic system in use IRL, namely the whole DNA system.
>binary system is the "holy" one
Of course it is, it is the smallest radix which can hold any information at all. That's the definition of holy if anything.
this would be really slow address lookup wise
would you have more states and thus way more data? yes. Would it be 'better'? Yes, the day will come that we wont be able to dig the earth open to make smartphones for normies.
two is a mathematically beautiful number, it just looks like shit when you display an exponent of 2 using a base-10 system. it's not too hard to think of 1024 as "doubled in size ten times"
Twelve is the superior base.
I hate number theory so much it is unreal
trans sisters??? our response?
Not very and it's not transistor, it's analogue computer. Those are a thing. Voltage thresholds determine how output is interpreted.
Easy:
5 volts = 0
10 volts = 1
25 volts = 2
30 volts = 3
35 volts = 4
40 volts = 5
Here's the neat part:
-5 volts = 6
-10 volts = 7
-15 volts = 8
-20 volts = 9
-28 volts = 10
Now I want to compute a number in the magintude arround 1 million please.
Not to say analoge computers are bad, the process of calculation is even efficient with no match alike, but there are reasons why digital computers succeeded.
>Drops voltage to 27.5
now which number is it?
Why stop at 10? Just make it the alphabet. Also your image of a femoid is offensive please don't use it on IQfy.
this, so much this. Wahmen (woetomen) will NEVER take my precious little CUMMIES away from me.
Why haven't ternary computers become a thing?
Isn't that essentially what newer SSDs are doing by using cells that are non-binary?
You're a non-binary 'cel
yes, multi-level flash cells work like that, dividing a single voltage level into multiple possible values, this is why multi-level flash is slower to write (needs more precision) and less reliable (doesn't retain data as long as the voltage doesn't have to change as much to corrupt the data)
Absolute state of IQfy.
