  3. Binary is a system of two: Man or Woman. It is the legacy code of our social structures, built for simplicity. It feels safe because it is predictable.

    Non-Binary describes those existing outside that toggle. If the binary is a switch, non-binary is a spectrum. It includes people who feel like both, neither, or a fluid mix. It is a more precise way to describe the depth of the human experience.

    Why the tension? Our "monkey brains" are wired to fear what we cannot quickly label. For many, especially those in gendered languages, this shift feels like a threat to logic. But it is not a bug; it is a feature of human diversity.

    Accepting this does not erase the binary; it simply acknowledges that the map is larger than we were told. We are moving from a black-and-white sketch to a full-color portrait of our shared reality.

    Our evolution is slow, but kindness is a choice we can make every single day.

  5. 🎨 Wow, what an *innovative* suggestion! Because everyone knows that without a kaleidoscope of #colors, deciphering raw #binary would be simply IMPOSSIBLE. 🖍️ Next, let's make sure our calculators play show tunes while we're at it. 🙄

  6. Hello fedi!

    I have an .MVAX #firmware #update file for an MV Silicon chip (unknown model).

    Has someone already encountered those? And if yes, is there some documentation, tooling or existing #ReverseEngineering work done of that format?

    For the record, the file magic (first 8 bytes) is as follow:
    4D 56 B5 58 05 01 13 00

    And the end of the file contains the following (no spaces, wrapping is mine):

    MVSKeyFileMVBP10<0x90>0xBE>SIMPLEs
    <0xD3><0x9A>.<0x90><0xD9>
    MVSILICONKEYFL<0x00><0x00>
    <0xFF><0xBD><0x00>0x00>

    Thanks in advance for your help!!

  7. I got dragged into a conversation today where a group of people collectively decided that binary, octal, and hexadecimal number systems are useless and stupid.

    Most of them use hexadecimal every day. In their graphic design work. #FF5733 is not decimal. It is HEXADECIMAL.

    Their argument against binary was that counting in it is inefficient. That 1, 10, 11, 100, 101 is dumb compared to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

    These fools fail to understand that both systems are one and the same!

    Every positional number system works identically. You have N symbols. You count through them. When you exhaust them, you reset and carry. Decimal has 10 symbols (0-9). Binary has 2 (0-1). Octal has 8 (0-7). Hexadecimal has 16 (0-F). Same mechanism. Different base.

    Binary is not inefficient. It maps to transistor states. Octal compresses binary into groups of three-- which is why Unix permissions are written as 000 - 777. Hexadecimal compresses binary into groups of four --which is why every memory address and colour code is in hex. These are not alternatives to decimal. They are the same information at different compression levels.

    The people arguing loudest had encountered these systems, used them regularly, and left without a single question about how any of it works.

    I do not know what is worse -- the ignorance or the confidence it travels at.

  9. Binary clock timelapse

    An absolutely nerdy clock—yes, it’s a clock—I picked up æons ago from the now-defunct ThinkGeek site. It displays hours/minutes/seconds represented in binary. Video is at 10X speed with iMovie's Raster filter applied.

    I vaguely remember something about #Apple several years ago changing from "byte" kb to "human" kb in their system dialogs etc. This was a minor change and may have been good on some level. Mostly ended questions like "why does it say 2 Gig here but only 195943567899 bytes lower down in the same dialog box?"

    I never imagined the 1024 thing would work the other way... kilometer = 1024 meters. 😅

    For those who aren't computer scientists, here is an explanation from Wikipedia...

    "In some areas of information technology, particularly in reference to random-access memory capacity, kilobyte instead often refers to 1024 bytes. This arises from the prevalence of sizes that are powers of two in modern digital memory architectures...

    The kibibyte is defined as 1024 bytes, avoiding the ambiguity issues of the kilobyte."

    In other words, in #binary we count 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s, 16s, 32s, 64s, 128s, 254s, 512s, 1024s, etc.

    I totally forgot (if I ever knew) about the #kibibyte!

  12. An Empirical Assessment of the Cost of Dichotomization of the Outcome of Clinical Trials onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10
    "Burdening more participants than necessary is wasteful, costly, and unethical.

    … trials with a binary outcome have larger sample sizes on average, but also larger standard errors and fewer statistically significant results. We conclude that researchers tend to increase the sample size to compensate for the low information content of #binary outcomes, but not sufficiently.
    … estimate that on average, only about 60% of the information is retained after #dichotomization
    … hope that quantifying the loss of information will discourage researchers from dichotomizing continuous outcomes"

  14. Hype for the Future 94C: Important “Off-by-One” Numbers in Computing

    Introduction In the world of computing, the numbers formed by the powers of two subtracted by one, with the exception of the number zero, are of significant interest and relevance in the world of computer science and cybersecurity. Even zero (0) is of significant importance even though the binary representation is also 0 because of the binary nature of computing and related features. Significant Numbers by Number of Bits Required in […]

  20. The evolution of universal language and mathematics.

    Before words, there was number. From Contact to The Three-Body Problem, Story of Your Life to the Voyager Golden Records, etching our message into the fabric of the Cosmos - from ancient radio beaming out zeros and ones, consisting of the elements that make up DNA, to a new binary language in form of mathematics, chemistry, and biology.

    Humanity has searched for a common thread in the language of the stars - hidden in the way we, and even bees, understand math.
