Every operation your computer does. From displaying images on a screen to securely connecting to your bank.

It's an interesting advancement and it will be neat if something comes of it down the line. The chances of it having a meaningful product in the next decade is close to zero.

They used to use analog computers to solve differential equations, back when every transistor was expensive (relays and tubes even more so) and clock rates were measured in kilohertz. There's no practical purpose for them now.

In cases of number theory, and RSA cryptography, you need even more precision. They combine multiple integers together to get 4096-bit precision.

If you're asking about the 24-bit ADC, I think that's usually high-end audio recording.

The problem is that both the generation as well as the sampling is imprecise. So there are losses at every conversion from the digital to the analog domain. On top of that are the analog losses through the on chip circuits themselves.

All in all this might be sufficient for some LLMs, but they are worthless junk producers anyway, so imprecision does not matter that much.

So you list the reasons for imprecision: noise, losses, repeatability problems (there are more), but still consider it precise?

Adding two containers of water is only as precise as you can get leakage under control, and can rely on a repeatable shape of the containers. Both is something chip level logic simply does not deliver.
