and apparently the driver seems not to support manual selection of waveform

if he makes the display faster, maybe we won't need to do anything to optimise it further

oh no, what is this nightmare

You will just end up forced to re-implement digital computing on top of analog computing

or implement analog equivalents of some algorithms

depending on how it the random changes work it can also end up as a random walk

in which case you can stabilize your value by storing it multiple times I think?

relevant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiener_process

if it follows a wiener process you need to do the averaging thing to stabilize your data

if it's just random fluctuations around the avg it's much easier to deal with

with the wiener process thing you end up needing exponentially more memory the longer your program runs

I guess it's technically interesting in that you can force a programmer to optimize their program to run fast enough the corruption doesnt become problematic

but in practical terms computers have both data and instruction memory, a computer that cant hold data cells stable will corrupt an instruction way before it corrupts a data cell

also because I had a thought: this technically how ram cells in some types of ram work, but your ram controller reads and rewrites them periodically so the decay is never noticed

``` The electric charge on the capacitors gradually leaks away; without intervention the data on the capacitor would soon be lost. To prevent this, DRAM requires an external memory refresh circuit which periodically rewrites the data in the capacitors, restoring them to their original charge. ```

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_random-access_memory

literally recreating analog hardware problems in software

so you'd fix it by re-adding the solutions

Finally a language where you iterate what pains from other languages you feel like experiencing today
