Why do people say CS is a meme? I was just reading about how retards say programming is trivial and easy. Could they even do a lower div programming assignment from my uni?
http://www.ics.uci.edu/~thornton/ics46/ProjectGuide/Project2/

That is the project guideline for the second project of a lower div class I took in spring. Its programming an AI in c++

I'd say the only people who are smarter than CS are math majors. I have never met a chem, physics, or bio major that could do what CS can. While CS can do all of their coursework and more.

And to add, before the people who say "hurr durr programming is just a subset of CS, real schools teach theory" take a look at the website more and notice how we learned tons of theory, not just programming.

As a CS major, you're delusional if you think our coursework is anywhere near physics. Chem is technically harder as well, but only by time consumption and the amount of memorization required. Try taking an organic chemistry class.
CS is not a hard major, it's split into programming and theory, which is just low-level math. Doesn't make it a bad degree. If you weren't such a autist, you'd realize difficulty by itself has no inherent value. Life isn't an intelligence dick measuring contest.

CS is a meme because it's passed on nongenetically, i.e. word of mouth to ass.
>>
>>8419581
The only hard part about cs is learning the syntax of a language. This partially determines what logic structures can be used. I've done similarly difficult projects in a 4xxx physics class I took where we had a half semester crash course in c++. Some people failed miserably at coding, for me, it was straight foward, so idk.

I'll say that using the algorithms in that description is pretty shit.

In othello, I'd define there to be soft points and hard points.

Soft points are the number of chips in your color on your turn.
Hard points is the number of chips in your color that can't be converted back.

I'd make an ai that only looks 1 turn ahead at every point on the board and makes the most hard points possible per turn. If none are available, then have it make the move that gives the most soft points without the possibility of the player converting those to hard points on the next turn. I'd fail the assignment because your assignment isn't about ai or game theory, or even effecient coding, it's about learning trees (discrete math, graph theory) and why it's so shit to implement.

With that being said, there are published methods for storing trees using least amounts of data. Your ability to beat other ai will come down to how well you can store and access the trees. This is an interesting topic in graph theory and number theory, but again, has nothing to do with cs specifically.

Programming properly isn't trivial and easy. People here generally program in academic languages and don't really know what they're talking about on that point. I'm talking about system, application and firmware programming, it isn't trivial to do such things properly, especially when some of them have millions of lines of code. However you shouldn't be learning how to be a Software Engineer in Computer Science and you're seemingly not. So why are you trying to brag about something that other majors can accomplish with their limited programming range? The challenge of programming isn't syntax, it's code efficiency and design.

Most of that stuff existed long before modern computers.

Computer Science is a meme because it focuses on using modern computers specifically to address these topics.

Math major here. I´ve never studied AI but I guess I can share how I would do this and you can rate me. My previous knowledge is general math and programming

First I'd do a dynamic tree data structure. Dynamic so I can grow it as much as I want.

Then after understanding the rules of the game I would write a function that takes as input the gamestate (I guess I'd have to write a data structure to hold a gamestate) and returns the tree generated by all the possible moves that could be done at this, using elementary game theory to map it and give each move a score.

Game Theory also would come in when it comes to finding a dominant strategy for the game generated by each gamestate and I bet there is a bunch of literature on this subject, given that Othello appears to be a popular game.

Write a function that finds the dominant strategy, using knowledge I'd get from the mentioned literature or I guess I could just study the game myself, given that I know game theory aswell, and then does the play.

If what I just described is not the preferred course of action, then this is probably a primitive but informed attempt that has been refined in your CS classes... without them teaching you actual game theory or graph theory.

If by "retards" you mean "anyone else from STEM", then yes, they could do your homework.

I think the real CS meme is colleges pretending to offer CS when in reality it's just basic programing. These colleges are money farms. Real CS can be self taught, and any credible college that knows that is lowering the price to next to nothing. Georgia has a degree program for <$2,000

Programming requires logic and concentration, the ability to concentrate your ideas into a series of steps that, if executed in order, will return the desired output.
On the other hand, the algorithms taught at a regular CS class are almost self-evident.

It's a meme because math majors aren't worth shit without a degree in something else. Often math majors realize they have to get a CS minor or double major to be employable. Since they're forced to take CS courses, they inherently loathe them. The fact that they struggle with pointers and data structures further adds to their rage

Wouldn't the actual scientific and mathematical aspects of CS like ML, AI, crypto, algs, complexity theory, PL theory etc be the things which makes it into an actual legit degree instead of meme-tier?
CS without the actual CS would just be a software eng. degree, which clearly is a meme because it just educates people into being mindless industry automatons (Correct me if I am wrong).

sounds reasonable. In Chess you have a similiar approach, but you can't map out every move, instead you map out some moves, rate them, and explore those that seem promising further. This leads you to developing the branches that seem promising quickly while saving out on the ones you don't, because ultimately you can only try out so many moves per second.

>Wouldn't the actual scientific and mathematical aspects of CS like ML, AI, crypto, algs, complexity theory, PL theory etc be the things which makes it into an actual legit degree instead of meme-tier?
Yes, they do, but what I meant is that the examples they use to try and prove the major is not bullshit is completely elementary to anyone in physics, mathematics or other math heavy fields. It may impress their mom but not us. Probably means they are in shitty programs too cause actual CS is basically maths. Brings me to -

>CS without the actual CS would just be a software eng. degree, which clearly is a meme because it just educates people into being mindless industry automatons (Correct me if I am wrong).
- this. By a shitty program I mean a curriculum of programming, advanced programming, advanceder programming and advancedest programming. Youd be surprised how many software engineering (which shouldnt be a major in the first place) degrees try to guise themselves under the CS name.

>This is first lecture AI shit

And that is the problem. You would struggle because you were told "here is the search algorithm and here is how the tree looks like" and then were expected to blindly do it.

I know the theory behind everything. I know the rigorous and formal ways to generate and analyze a game tree, for any game.

>your search tree gets way too huge

This is true but do you think game theory is about bruteforcing games? Fuck no. There are these things called patterns that you could recognize... if you actually knew mathematics.

>>8422984
Yes, this would be the approach taken here. The most basic way (and the way I'd do this to just get it over with) would be to forget about the entire game and think about the game generated by each gamestate up to like 10 moves in the future.

One cannot forget that if you have a game, every part of that game is also a game. So I could partially analyze the game. Start with a gamestate and then just rate the tree generated by the 10 following moves and then consider the winning condition of this game to be getting the highest rating at the 10th move.

Then technically, if you win every part of a game, you should most of the time win the game.

If you aren't doing Physics/EE/CE (or proper mechatronics) at a good uni then you can fuck off. A good hardcore EE or Physics degree has the most course-load especially if you go all the way to an MSc at least.
CE with proper (heavy) EE focus is also interesting.

>I'd say the only people who are smarter than CS are math majors. I have never met a chem, physics, or bio major that could do what CS can. While CS can do all of their coursework and more.
Kek. You can type premade algoritms into your fucking computer. Literally people drop out of CE/EE the first sight of modeling of physical systems.
Both engineering and physics models physical systems albeit for a different purpose.
Please derive me the equations for a transistor in some form by starting out from the materials and their properties.

Can you even derive the model of a transmission line?

Don't get me wrong, lot of CS theory stuff is useful, extremely useful, but most CS fags don't really understand it that well, because they don't need it on a broad range like engineers or anyone else who actively uses it. Also most CS fags only care for SE shit.

CS is good at a competent level where you do applied algorithms stuff which is very relevant for EE. However honestly I would rather hire someone, an EE or CE guy, for such jobs who knows shit about hardware and related applied physics.

Linear Algebra and Numerical Analysis. I wish I took proofs in college, so instead I'm studying Proofs on my own, granted proof writing is very particular so I will have to, at some point, ask someone who has a Math degree whether some of my proofs are written well. I'm not trying to discredit math in any way, but I feel like people have the misconception that X field is impossibly difficult and it disheartens people from trying. As long as people apply and focus on what they're working on, they can come to understand it, sometimes slower or quicker than others.

Degrees aren't job training dude. STEM majors are good problem solver with good analytical skills and those soft skills easily transfer over to other fields. That why finance and banking firms love to hire STEM majors, it's easy for them to pick up the domain material and they will often out perform finance majors who bs'ed their way through their courses not learning much.

I graduated with a masters in CE, but then I started up a company with a few friends. As a result I've never worked as a CE, I've always done business despite knowing close to fuck all about it when I graduated. Life changes, you've got to be adaptable.

Since this is an AI thread, what did you guys think about pic related?
>>
>>8423937
Never heard of it.

Looked it up.

It looks shit, it got shit reviews and the story synopsis is bad,
>>
>>8423943
don't fall for the shitty review meme

It's an interesting concept, that was poorly executed, but still, it's a very original movie

>tfw the classical physics course for CEs is harder than the classical physics course for MEs at your school
Please explain this.

>>8423943
It's an interpretation of the MUH SINGULARITY

really cool tho

MEs take Engineering Dynamics that usually doesn't cover Lagrangian Mechanics and more focused on applications.
I'm guessing CEs take Physics Mechanics which does Lagrangian Mechanics since it's very useful for robotic.

I'm not him, but the basic outline in Europe is this for CE/EE:
>Do they do Kirchhoff's law
That's basic shit in Physics I or II depending on the school. So probably if they take Phy I/II then they also learned it.

Analog electronics and circuit theory classes deal with it in a more in-depth manner. For example writing up the ODEs, etc.

Signals and Systems class deals with generic modeling of physical phenomena aka systems utilizing signals and their types.

Class(es) called Electromagnetism and/or Electromagnetic Fields deal with properly deriving circuit models from physical phenomena and determining the properties of inductors/capacitors made from different materials and with different geometry. Another usual example is the transmission line.

EE/CE needs heavier training in electromagnetism.
Or maybe >>8423982
However we learned about analytical mechanics during our robotics course.

/sci/ doesn't consider cs nor bio to be STEM. Also, bio is fucking flooded with premed students who couldn't get into med school.

A degree is just a degree. It gives specialized knowledge within a field. The broadness of specialization depends, however in 3-4 years + 2 with masters don't expect that there is a degree which teaches you everything.

If you're an actually good autodidact then with a somewhat broad degree you can quite easily get into multidisciplinary areas related to your field/degree.

If we strictly talk about your knowledge then depending on what you want to do you need to learn a lot by yourself. If what you want to do is totally unrelated to your formal qualifications then you need to have good references and/or make something on your own which will in turn allow you to move into whatever field you desire. (Connections can help too.) Transitioning slowly away and into your desired area of expertise is also an option.

If you don't have good talents and good autodidactic skills aka you're blatantly average then most likely you won't be able to teach yourself lot of for example EE heavy stuff as a CS guy. You might not even be interested. However if you got into CS because you have widely applicable problem solving skills and you aren't afraid to learn different shit then you can for example get into numerical methods with engineering applications, mechanical, electrical simulations and experiment on your own. After that you can start moving first into CS related positions like developing in-house simulation software or making software which can design filter circuits, etc. then move into different kind of engineering positions.

That's one way to go at it, but it depends on a lot of shit.
Personal drive (and abilities) and opportunities you can cling onto matter a lot.

Honestly, if you know your shit and you can do a wide variety of shit because you can learn it easily and you can apply interdisciplinary stuff easily then you can most likely do whatever the fuck you want. If you can't do that then you won't do whatever the fuck you want. Simple.
