they really didn't need to stick science on the end of that did they 😭😭😭😭 you could just say "im doing a course in computing/computers" "i work with computers" or if youre a wanker "I'm working in Informations Technologies"

@autumn the thing is computer science is actually like a specific field. like its supposed to be primarily the theoretical aspects of it rather than the practical

@coolbean yeahhh its just that i associate compsci with "uni graduate who needs to get a job at tech company" which. I Guess that's what every uni degree is.

i mean back when it became a thing it was more of a science... all sorts of discoveries being made in CPUs and stuff... i guess we kinda do that now too, its just that rn its more about LLMs rather than CPU design (not that thats not being worked on lol)

kind of interesting that you can make discoveries about something that's artificial and manufactured, there are still things to Find even if we Made it.

@autumn wouldnt it be electronics engineering though if were talking about cpus

@lulu @autumn cpu design involves a fairly large theoretical framework that doesnt necessarily intersect with the electrical engineering needed to physicalize it

@lulu @autumn stuff like microoperation scheduling, speculation, and the general concept of pipelining comes to mind, where those things still matter on paper even before you set about assigning them lanes and logic levels, and would still matter if your cpu was implemented in, say, javascript

@mothcompute @autumn even then it feels to me like its still very much influenced by how we can implement it physically to the point where i just associate much of this with ee
