@zgadnij come here with your autism

2019-05-24 19:32:53 UTC  

@Luckbot O_O sounds cool! I actually want to work in embedded stuff after uni. How's your job?

2019-05-24 19:33:05 UTC  

Terrible xD

2019-05-24 19:33:18 UTC  

But just a bad employer, the field itself is awesome

2019-05-24 19:33:38 UTC  

Gonna switch next month or so and then work in research again

2019-05-24 19:33:42 UTC  

hi

2019-05-24 19:33:49 UTC  

oh no work again

2019-05-24 19:34:23 UTC

>x86 is used everywhere
only in the pc world, that's _far_ from everywhere
>you're probably on x86 rn, it's just that nowadays x86_64 are most of the computers but it's basically extended x86 instruction set (or not idk im not rlly knowledgeable)
yes and no, there are many extensions

2019-05-24 19:34:59 UTC  

embedded dsp engineer working in r&d here

2019-05-24 19:35:20 UTC  

Oh nice!

2019-05-24 19:35:32 UTC  

Private or university?

2019-05-24 19:35:45 UTC  

Yeah ofc x86 is only used in consumer desktops and laptops. There's also a lot of POS running windows too. I see them everywhere at stores, atms etc

2019-05-24 19:35:52 UTC  

Private and it's fucking shit

2019-05-24 19:36:01 UTC  

literally stealing your money lol

2019-05-24 19:36:24 UTC  

Well private usually pays better than university unless you are the Prof 😄

2019-05-24 19:36:53 UTC  

@zgadnij Sounds like an awesome job! Please tell me more about your work, what kind of stuff are you doing?

2019-05-24 19:37:25 UTC  

avg salary when finishing this school is +/- 3k euros a month

2019-05-24 19:37:31 UTC  

@Luckbot corporate

2019-05-24 19:38:17 UTC  

oh based luckbot plays minecraft <:pewish:395515961874055168>

2019-05-24 19:38:23 UTC  

I've only got a master's degree in EE

2019-05-24 19:38:38 UTC  

Yes. The good way to play it: 1.7.10 modded until it breaks

2019-05-24 19:38:49 UTC  

some time ago, I started a PhD course (as it'd been my ambition for some time then) but soon realised academia is _not_ for me

2019-05-24 19:38:57 UTC  

I respect x100 times more EE people than CS trannies

2019-05-24 19:39:27 UTC  

computer science and the IT sector in general is for low T people

2019-05-24 19:39:33 UTC  

Me too, gonna start the PhD this summer, but I think it is the right thing for me. At least I loved the projects I did on the side

2019-05-24 19:40:06 UTC  

cool cool

2019-05-24 19:40:09 UTC  

there are so many other STEM fields that are so much more versatile

2019-05-24 19:40:43 UTC  

I was thinking of starting again maybe, this time as an external ph.d. candidate, with corporate backing/financing

2019-05-24 19:40:49 UTC  

somewhere in Germany

2019-05-24 19:40:53 UTC  

cs trannies are the worst tbh

2019-05-24 19:40:57 UTC  

EE is literally math and upon ~5th semester they expect you to program without teaching it before 😄

2019-05-24 19:41:01 UTC  

I don't know. We'll see.

2019-05-24 19:41:12 UTC  

tbh CS is utter shit. The only reason Im here is because I couldn't enter an engineering school

2019-05-24 19:41:29 UTC  

Oh I do have a corporate backing. Basically our field offers no jobs without

2019-05-24 19:41:36 UTC  

I've certainly got more than enough experience in DSP research.

2019-05-24 19:41:50 UTC  

But on the other hand if you're not a js/python brainlet you're very valuable in companies. The last company I worked in was genuinely impressed by my Java and C skills

2019-05-24 19:42:08 UTC  

what do you specialize in? @Luckbot

2019-05-24 19:42:23 UTC  

CS is big cash. Backend software devs get showered in money

2019-05-24 19:42:38 UTC  

Control Theory and Automation

2019-05-24 19:42:51 UTC  

cool, that's very close to what I'm doing
