Hamming Codes - How Data Corrects Itself

Great video, amazing algorithm!

The best video about hamming codes i have ever seen

Great video!

What if there are more than one bit flipped? Then the parity bit with wont detect the problem?

At what point does it become more efficient to send the 4 data bits twice? This method only saves 1 bit, but i bet all this checking takes some computing power. I bet the extra electricity cost will more expensive then sending 4 correction bits every 4 data bits as opposed to 3.

I was reading The Art of Doing Science and Engineering: Learning to Learn by Richard Hamming. This video helped me a lot to understand how he explained in there, thank you!

Parity bits that represent the octals value

is a parity bit sort of like a chicken mcnugget?

?

Great! Bravo!

Make more videos

You are funding psychiatric dope for all Americans be so proud of your useless mouth

2 bit corruption is very rare guys

like even 1 bit error is stupidly rare

It's like computer cancer

This is so amazingly cool.
But what about the fact that cosmic rays can change a digit? Veritasium made an entire video about that. Does this not just fix that issue?

its like sudoku but with extra steps (?)

What happens if 2 bits are flipped? Does the algorithm handle it gracefully?

I really like your videos. Thank you!

Hamming code relies on the assumption that there are only two possible states: entirely correct or with one error, but increasing bit package size also increases likelihood of error, so isnt there a limit to how effective Hamming Code can possibly be?

I don't need Hamming codes: my wife tells me when I'm wrong :) Excellent video. When you learn this in CS class, it is topic 3 of 4 in a 90 minute lecture to over 100 students.

Absolutely fantastic explanation! The progression and pace of the examples was perfect for me.

Cool video, just found it. What if the parity bit is flipped, would that get corrected?

Is this TCP/IP layer's responsibilylty?

This channel is so underrated and deserving of so much praise!

does normal ram does this or is it integrated only in ECC ?

I had totally forgoten about this topic. Thanks for refreshing it.

Bit 👍

Great videos. Sad that I found the channel just now and not earlier.

But what if an error occurs in a parity beat?

Thanks Brian for all the work you do to help students :)

Great video, thorough and visuals help a ton
