Generate an image representing the concept of Hamming weight, also known as population count or popcount, in a coding theory and computer science context. The image should feature a stylized binary string or bit vector with nonzero symbols highlighted, surrounded by elements that evoke error detection, error correction, and cryptography, such as digital locks, checksums, or encrypted data streams. Incorporate a subtle reference to Richard Hamming in the background, such as a faint image of a 1950s computer or a notation resembling w(x), |x|_1, or wt(x). The style should be futuristic and digital, with a color palette that balances code-like blues and whites with accents of bright, warning-like reds to signify the "weight" of nonzero symbols.
