Similian | is there a smart way to read a file to a certain string bit by bit ? |
Similian | which loop to use? |
rindolf | Similian: you can read it byte by byte. |
rindolf | Similian: do you want to read the whole thing? |
Similian | no |
Similian | too big 200 MB |
simcop2387-lab | reading bit by bit is usually not supported by most operating systems |
rindolf | Similian: then do you want to read one byte at a time? |
ik | or one line at a time? |
Similian | guess a line would be better |
rindolf | simcop2387-lab: it is on my rindolfOS running on Intel 1001. |
rindolf | Which was a 1-bit processor. |
ik | heh |
ik | I had a half-bit processor |
ik | it just stored ones |
danieldg | ik: that would be a zero-bit processor then |
ik | no no |
danieldg | half-bit processor stores 0's or sqrt(2)'s |
ik | sqrt(2) may as well be 1 |
simcop2387-lab | rindolf: a 1 bit processor would be a hell of a thing to work with |
danieldg | not if you can't test it unless it's one |
ik | We're not talking about numbers, we're talking about on and off, true and false, whatever you want to call it |
ik | sqrt(2) is non-zero, so it's one. |
rindolf | danieldg: not 1/sqrt(2)? |
danieldg | hmm it would probably be that, yes |
simcop2387-lab | my processor uses sqrt[-1]! |
ik | may as well |
danieldg | ik: think quantum computers. It tests true with probability 1/sqrt(2) |
ik | I'm not talking about a quantum computer.. |
danieldg | well a 1/2 bit computer clearly can't be classical |
