[ValeoMethod]

We all need to know we are appreciated and you are. So thank you for your work.

[cfr0204]

umm no... forward to 4:30 min in this video. You say, I quote "one thousand and twenty four bytes is a mega byte, one thousand and twenty four mega bytes is a giga byte."

You got the second part right, not the first. LISTEN TO YOUR OWN VIDEO!!!

I can catch this stuff since I'm an embedded software engineer!

[MidnightRayn]

@cfr0204 So I did, nobodies perfect. Nice catch, I missed it even after you pointed it out... but I've seen this video plenty. Anyway it's a pretty minor mistake really, most people know that much already.

[nepalihercules]

@cfr0204 he made a mistake, so what? everybody makes mistakes.

[MidnightRayn]

@nepalihercules He was right, I even contested it falsely, although your comment is greatly appreciated understand that people who really deserved backlash have already been taken care of (deleted and banned). I am a HUGE advocate of freespeech, even the retarded upchuck kind, but I have boundries, I do not and will not allow anyone to argue without good cause on my educational videos. This is because free speech of the ignorant kind has no place here, defense appreciated but unecessary.

[UnleashedSoulz]

@nepalihercules everybody has those days! -.- had to say it

[cfr0204]

umm, 1024 bytes is not 1 mega byte... it is 1 kilo byte!

[MidnightRayn]

@cfr0204 Umm, that's exactly what I said... perhaps you should listen better?

[wild0hawk]

i think you need to be clever to know this

[MidnightRayn]

@wild0hawk you think?

[wild0hawk]

@wild0hawk yeh i think i do think that i think i think that i think that i think

[winnerdude250]

i bet the guy who designed this system was hungry Bits And Nibbles 

[MidnightRayn]

@winnerdude250 Well I think they were working off the idea that computers process memory a bit like your digestive track processes food, that is in semi-random CHUNKS... and we all know chunks relate to food, also the only thing nerdy types tend to have laying around for inspiration is a cup of java and maybe a donut or cookie, and yes they probably were hungry, most nerds are skinny and hungry because they're workaholics.

[LOGIESPZ]

yeah apart from that it was a good video i was just pointing out

[LOGIESPZ]

at the start u said a nyble was 1101 but a nyble is 4 bits ( 100) 1101 is 13

[MidnightRayn]

@LOGIESPZ The reason for that is the illistration is trying to represent 4 individual bits rather than 1101 equating to an actual nyble of information. I admit that it's very poorly executed as are many other parts of the video.

The purpose was to simplify the understanding of binary to a point that an ordinary average person could understand why computers use only 0's and 1's, rather than be a complete tutorial on computer science.

24,000+ people seem to have found this good enough.

[katylunger]

Great video!

[thwaitesvideo]

Thankyou so much for taking the time to make this video. Very articulate and informative, and so simple when you put it like that.

[MrMappy22]

very cool... i can also use this as an instructional material.tnx anyway...

[MidnightRayn]

@MrMappy22 I'm remaking it actually. the next one will be even better!

[IhelpU4XBL]

4:05 "4 bits equal a nipple"

[MidnightRayn]

@IhelpU4XBL nivval actually.. but whatever

[AllDaySCIfi]

They are all von Neumann machines though.

[MidnightRayn]

@AllDaySCIfi informative, thanks!

[0121ryanh117]

"do the comments mean anything to you? Like other than you could tell me what number they are"

Yes, they do. They make perfect sense.

The only thing that really makes sense to a computer is on and off. A CPU will interpret electrical signals as high voltage (ON) and low voltage (OFF). Beyond that is transistors and logic gates. then you can control the flow of electricity.

[0121ryanh117]

Counting in binary is very easy. Seriously, almost as easy as base 10 0 1 (now we run out of number so we add a column) 10 11 (now we run out of number so we add a column) 100 101 110 111 (now we run out of number so we add a column) etc....

[04mittald]

oh i see 8 is max value

[04mittald]

ok i will type in binary 0101010101010001001 what does that say

[MidnightRayn]

All comments on this video are approved, Please do not post gibberish here.

Your binary string is malformed and not divisible by 8, it's not even proper.

Almost nobody will convert binary from ascii by themselves, they are using converters.

[04mittald]

[imreallybored36]

Thanks for the help. I suppose I'm really just trying to learn more. I have couple of questions.. do the comments mean anything to you? Like other than you could tell me what number they are ( I think) what does it mean? How is this practical. I know it's like the most raw thing but like how do these one and zeros equalling numbers make things like words or whatever they do?

[MidnightRayn]

They make strings of numbers 123 158.. which corrospond to letters and have a specific place in code, hence the "text box" and is built into the operating system... standards are set for the industry to follow and it manifests in most computers.

actually looking for how the computer uses all of this and how it works not about all of those numeral systems

[MidnightRayn]

I explained that aswell

[chaniwie]

nipples?

[MATT14nCHRIS14]

LMAO RANDOM SHIT IS GREAT

[JUKIO01]

man, i need to learn and understand this stuff. im studying to become a computer engineer

[AES256bit]

BOOLEAN isn't the same as BOOL in C++. When talking yes. BOOL are just ints. TRUE is 1 and FALSE is 0; BOOLEANS are BYTES.

[MidnightRayn]

you mean bits of course.. yeah honestly I don't think you know wtf you are talking about.

[AES256bit]

You said a 'BOOL command as used in C or C++', So I don't you know wtf you are talking about.

[MidnightRayn]

Actually when I mentioned the bool keyword it was unrelated, which shows you didn't understand the context and probably didn't really pay attention.

By all means link me to your version of the only tutorial of this kind on the entire internet.

Seeing as you can't even use a computer properly I'd be surprised if you could.

[0121ryanh117]

@AES256bit You're wrong. Boolean and bool are the same thing...didnt you guess by the name?? =/

Boolean literally means true of false and a bool data type can hold 1 binary bit, true or false.

if you;re looking for a byte data type in C, then you will want

unsigned char

[TORONT4OMAPLE2LEAFS0]

i just learned about real numbers

[theSUBLIMATOR123]

HOW DO U KNOW ALL THAT STUFF!!!!!!!!!!

[MidnightRayn]

knowledge is power, is fun, is awsome, is easy to obtain.

how do you not know all this stuff? I made an easy video for you to learn!!

[coteya]

something called school

[Area51UFO51]

Thank you for this tutorial. I want to be a computer program designer and make programs that other companies need. Your very smart and hope you are successful.

[MidnightRayn]

lol I hope also. as of now I'm dirt poor.

you are more then welcome to donate though. :D

[blueblob4]

Wow! This was very informant! Thanks for posting this! I want to be a computer engineer when I grow up and design circut boards for computers, and I really need to learn how computers work. So thanks again for posting this. It is helping me to greater understand how computers work!

[DreamTeamExclusion]

He is reading from internet

[MidnightRayn]

I wrote it myself and spent two days making this.. I'm sorry you don't understand what proper education is or have the ability to help others.

[NitroMikeo]

BAM BAM BAM!

[linuxlattice]

Lol woot. I remember taking all this BS in school it really fun when you get into adding and subtracting binary.

[Session01Hijack]

You sound like steve urkel

PS: you really didn't explain how computers, binary works, just a little ''basic'' intro.

And binary is used in more ways than ''state logic''

[shakadragom]

i don't get how computers work with binary system, like what makes the computer know that i want to type "W"? A sequence of 0's and 1's? An eletrical signal made by the voltage of 1 and 0?

[MidnightRayn]

binary can convert to base 10 numeral systems.

all the basic base 10 numbers have binary equivalents. it's the same exact mathematical system but a different representation.. it's "reduction" literally to make the mechanical process simpler and faster.

what would really mess your mind is how algorithms work to describe seemingly complex systems as rather redundant formulas and that binary files must be padded because they operate as a single enormous number.

[MidnightRayn]

Imagine it like this.. 1 and 0 is true or false.. on or off right?

what can you make with loads of flickering lights? make a tv or monitor yes? now take that to an infinite dimension of complexity thats self complicating.. there you have a modern computer.

[shakadragom]

yeah i knew about the true or false, on and off thing but i could never understand how that related to the computer... but with that flickering lights example things are a lot more clear now, because i was thinking like, "wth, how can a bunch of lights(on, off) be used in a computer?"

but now i'm starting to understand this puzzle..

not to mention the logic gates and all that stuff

anyway, thanks for your time and patience :D

[MidnightRayn]

pixels can be within ranges of colors.. 16 32 256 16 million. all converted to binary and calculated using several passes of the cpu. color is built into the GPU graphics card/chip. the cpu is makes billions of calculations per second these multiple rapid computations require the binary reduction and also allow it to work at a speed we think is constant. the human eye can see 30 frames per second each frame is one loop in a program. your pc can read and execute millions lines of code instantly.

[MidnightRayn]

it's more complex then just 1, 0, W and voltage.

imagine a model file. it has coordinates of where it's faces line up on the texture. it has coordinates of where it is in relative space. it has all sorts of normal maths and sometimes shader or other effects.

now calculate all that seperately. but first convert it to binary to the "transistors" (on off switches) can read it and calculate the outcome of loads of converted math equations formulas and algorithms. :)

i know how to calculate base 10 to binary it is simple 32 16 8 4 2 1 10 base =16+8+4+2 0 1 1 1 1 0 binary 32 is 0 than we know the number is not over 32 16 is 1 now we know it is over 16 8 is 1 16+8=24 4 is 1 24+4=28 2 is 1 28+2=30 1 is 0 30+0=30 011110=30 u always use 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 and so on

[jagexbluedragonarmy]

yea number above (bits) double each time number under 1 is + the other numbers with 1 and numb with 0 is ignored:D oo im cathcing on 2 this

[TehEXER]

cheers i now understand Binary codes, C++ ect.

[MidnightRayn]

this video is riddled with very slight mistakes actually.. real numbers are another concept and technical term.

8bits actually make a number up to 255 + 0 = 256.

just to mention a few.. it's still a good tutorial informationally but to futher our education we must know these other facts.

but it's obvious you have not mastered binary or maybe it was copy and paste that confused you. ;)

I had a look at your profile sae1piru. and your single video titled "12345678" which unfortunatly didn't load for me possibly you just added it?

anyways you said epic lulz.. indeed.

[sae1piru]

[sae1piru]

[MidnightRayn]

removing your temp internet files would be an easy test

@lostraver - well thats lovely cause I spent two entire days writing the draft of speech that I speak.. not to mention several takes to get it sounding decent.. and still you see it's rather poor quality lol.. life is rough!

[lostraver]

[MidnightRayn]

Can I add the simplest way to use binary is from left to right get the highest number within the table that goes into the number you need and then go backwards from their finding the next highest number that goes into the remainder and so on. The table is 128,64,32,16,8,4,2,1 and there you have it 8 bits to a byte. Google ASCII American Standard Code for information interchange. Each number represents a letter and thats how letters come from binary.

[Dejaiin]

ASCII:

010010000100010101011001

Or for n00bs

01001000 01000101 01011001

Hint 3 letters :D
