>>11540092>inane bullshit sure, at most schoools
>like mutexes lmao what, mutex locks and asynchronous computation is a *good* topic to round out with systems knowledge
>finite automataI've never taken a class, whether in language theory or in general automata / computability, that has spent more than a week and a half on finite state machines. But the fact that you think these things are inane, as the backbone of theory, is probably indicative of some pretty bad hot takes.
>>11539771>>11536303It depends on your program. Ultimately it doesn't matter that much since both camps end up catching up 'on the other side' by graduate school, but I'd put a bias towards a mathematics degree if you want to do anything in AI and ML theory.
