I'll preface this by saying I am an EE major so I can't talk about many of the specific course differences. As far as the overview, I can provide some insight.

EE, CE, and CS all exist on a spectrum of computing. EE is mostly hardware and some software. CS is mostly software and some hardware. The split for CE depends on your program. My school is skewed towards more software than hardware.

The reason I explain this is to emphasize that CE is less well defined. From what I've seen, most CE students get a little bit of both but really focus on software more than hardware.

By the definition of flexibility, CE is technically more flexible as it allows you to do either software or hardware. Realistically, there are many more software jobs than hardware jobs so CS has more scope.

The ultimate redpill however is that it really makes little difference in the end as the majors are so close together.

I'm an EE but I'm getting experience more related to strictly computer engineering 'defined' work. Also, from what I have seen, someone with experience in hardware (and EE) can learn CS more readily than a strictly software person can learn hardware.

This may have been rambling a bit but I hoped it help.

In short, pick CS if you want to avoid hardware engineering as much as possible. In the long run, it won't matter much.

Prove the contrary without relying on your frame of reference (e.g. everything you learned in high school physics).
I've made falsifiable statements in this thread.
Don't rely on the "burden of proof" meme.

>>10675864
Well for one, E = mc^2 is only true for an object at rest, while your equation says a = c^2, which would mean it's not at rest. So it contradicts itself.

>>10675864
F=-grad(E)

>>10675864
Also, F doesn't equal ma, is equals dp/dt, and >>10675895
Seriously, Gtfo, you're not worth my time

>>10675864
[math]F=\frac{dp}{dt}=\gamma ma_{\perp} + \gamma ^3 ma_{\parallel}[/math]
[math]E=\gamma mc^2 = \sqrt{(mc^2)^2 + (pc)^2 }[/math]
[math]\Delta KE = \int F\cdot dx [/math]

>>10675794
Yes. Habitiation is constant. The less unique a given experience is, the less total stimulus you can derive from it. Scientifically, this is called falling into a rut.

>>10675829
how do I fix this, is getting out and doing other things the only way?

>>10675871
No, there's plenty you can do indoors even to change your perspective. For me, I have no eye for design. My apartment is basically completely blank. All my stimulus comes from higher thought and reasoning. I'm a perfect candidate for things like surrogates, or perma-VR. I explore the mind, so the only times I get depressed is when I try to stop myself from thinking/creating new things or ideas.

Not everyone can live like that. Sometimes people need to change their furniture or rearrange the layout just to make things feel new. It's not about forcing things to be new, but just changing enough to make it feel that way. Everything, throughout all of human society, is an aesthetic decision. Who you vote for, what credit union you like, how the toilet paper feels, everything is a matter of taste. Some people prefer economical things, others prefer function over anything else, etc. There isn't one form of pragmatism, there are many. Singularity of purpose only occurs in small communities, probably no larger than 17 times the upper limit of Dunbar's number.


Or you could try new things, like hiking.

>>10675871
pretty much. but it usually happens naturally, when you can no longer stand your terrible emotions, you are compelled to go out and fix your life in some way, improve your condition in order to feel more pleasure.

Yes. The sex energy is the same as the life energy and is the same as pleasure. Why do you think babies are born from the male orgasm (semen)? That's your life, that's your soul. Every time you jack off, you lose the ability to have pleasure, and you lose a little bit of your life and become more depressed and suicidal. The ancient religions knew this. They knew that the virtue of celibacy/continence (which is really just retaining semen inside your body) led to a longer life and more contentment/happiness. People who masturbate are depleting their life force and end up depressed wrecks. Here, read this: http://www.dlshq.org/download/brahmacharya.htm

A. Life came about through some natural process.
B. Life was made by magic.

These are not mutually exclusive hypothesis. I can't apply Bayes theorem.

No, lol. At least not like how it is in the movies.

So engineering is bad, right?

You'll get jobs quicker with Healthcare. My wife works at NYP Columbia, NYC, as a nurse. She works 3 nights week from 7:30 pm to 7:30 am,

She makes 120 grand annually with a little overtime. I will t take that over majority of engineering jobs working 5 days a week most likely making less money.

Heck it's even difficult to get programming jobs lately. Once you finish nursing school, get licensed, you can work anywhere in the country. Lots of jobs lots of good wages.

Also most new nurses are sluts, of you're into that kind of thing

>>10675651
Most of the people on this board seem to be math, physics, or the main engineering fields, for better or worse. There is a med general, but it's all doctors or premeds. Every time I made a biology research general, there seemed to be like 5 posters at most, including myself.

>>10675744
>nice formatting
Also, agreed. nursing is one of the few low-difficulty jobs that probably won't be replaced by robots, since it involves so much face-to-face interaction and reassurance. Doctors on the other hand are going to have some trouble when robots/programs can easily diagnose patients more accurately and quickly.

>>10675798
>few low-difficulty jobs

wow, get off the computer sometime and see what is really going on in the world. there is a reason RNs command this salary, albeit nursing unions, but it is very difficult work and the complete opposite of what you think it is.

>>10675801
I've heard very different things from different people who claim to be in the nursing field here. It probably varies, but nurses in old folk's homes, etc don't seem to have as tough a time as say, doctors, engineers in R&D, programmers in R&D, and quant finance analysts.

Boycotting thread due to inappropriately off-topic image.

it's not offtopic. that's a sexbot with advanced AI

>>10675647

AI is a passing fad. Short of the over valuation we see from fad chasers in silicon Valley especially, AI has limited use case that Microsoft Excel.

Now, if robotics are to get enough traction, then will we see a lot of forging forward in reaching sentience.

The problem is all too often we're focused on the biomimetic aesthetics so much that we fail to discover possible advancements.

Until there's a radical departure from the logical pathology of AI, I'm sorry to say the reach is generations away

>>10675715
i disagree

>>10675721
then you can't code for shit if a text app or a trigonometry calculator could take more than a couple hours to make retard.

>>10675732
he explicitly stated he doesn't know how to code

>>10675735
he asked about project ideas, he never mentioned he didn't knew how to code.

also you learn to code by doing all those project ideas, not reading a book.

Think of air as a sponge with lots of little pockets between the atoms that can hold water vapor. When things get cold they shrink. When air gets cold it shrinks, or in the case of the sponge analogy you can think of it as a sponge shrinking. Another way to describe a shrinking sponge is a sponge that's being squeezed out.

>>10675640
this is so, so bad
surely english isn't your first language?

>>10675640
Okay but air pressure doesn't have nearly as much of an effect as air temperature. How do you explain this? Wouldn't low air pressure in your analogy mean more empty space as well?

>>10675602
CompSci is neither computers nor science.

not a CSfag but from what I understand, CS theory is supposed to be about solving problems in discrete math using computer tools

software engineering is just about developing software in general and the development cycle behind it

often times, many schools call their programs CS incorrectly even though their curriculum focuses more on software engineering rather than real CS theory

>>10675602
somewhere between CS and IT

the fourier tranform 'draws' images by encapsulating every point in the set of points defining the outline of the image in a harmonic series. theres nothing that would stop you from applying this in three dimensions, simply add some harmonics that 'scan' through the z axis. more harmonics, more resolution

>not fourier but something else
Well you can construct a fourier basis for 3d space so it doesn't have to be something else but it can be, all you need is a basis and an inner product and you can decompose pretty much anything.

OP sounds like an engineer.

He has experience using fourier transforms but clearly doesn't understand them intuitively.

>>10675638
thank you for bumping this thread

>>10675536
That is what the wannabe cross say when he realizes he has been stuck at para for a while. Oh, wait, no. Since I am truly para I can see that you are sys larping as cross. You must understand that the lower states are always required, but you have to be para to come up with this on your own. You should focus on what's next, which is not cross, but something similar but lower, namely meta.
