The reason why ASCII uses only 7 bits instead of all 8 bits is primarily rooted in historical and technical considerations from the early days of computing. Explanation: Original Design of ASCII: The ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) was developed in the early 1960s. It was designed to represent text characters and control codes using 7 bits, which allows for 128 different characters (i.e., 27=1282^7 = 12827=128 possible values). These 128 characters include: Control characters (like NULL, BEL, ESC, etc.) from 0 to 31. Printable characters (like letters, digits, and symbols) from 32 to 127. Why Not Use the 8th Bit? ...

How to Learn: Insights from Andrew Huberman The medium of learning isn’t the key; the goal is to counteract the brain’s natural tendency to forget. Here’s how to make your learning more effective, according to Andrew Huberman. Neurons and Neuroplasticity Neurons form connections called synapses. These connections can either weaken or strengthen over time. Weakening a synapse isn’t the same as forgetting; it’s part of the learning process. Strengthening or weakening synapses alone doesn’t determine whether you’ve learned or forgotten. What matters is how these processes are engaged. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to retain knowledge through focused learning. ...
