Dear /sci/ I want to do a career change. I've been programming 3D game engines for 20 years now and want to do go from hardware to software so what are the best books on:
-Thermodynamics
-Material science
-Computer chip architecture
-EUV lithography
-Low level ASM programming
-Signal processing (FFT and related algorithms)
-space optimization such as bin packing.
-circuitry
-innovation (not invention)
-quantum noise
-AutoCAD or related drawing tools
-electrical engineering

kind regards a fren

Where I said hardware I meant software and visa versa. I have this weird form of dyslexia where I can't read and write very well. The math is no problem though

I can't help you as I have no experience in any of these fields, but I follow this channel called 2minutepapers for a while now and he doesn't stop putting out those massive new 3d engine inventions and I wonder why you wanna change the field when it's just getting big.

The thing is coming from software side of things work still seems to be repetitive. Writing shaders these days is just combinations of already well defined paradigms. Writing new trees for optimizing ray tracing even feels like going back in time. I think that from a creative software perspective I have a lot more to offer to the field of lets say CUDA cores AI Raytracing then the current status quo. Simply put I'm bored and want to spice things up a little. I will also look into those 2 minute papers. Thank you anon

For programming specifically you may want to check out /g/. For the engineering, which I think should be banished from /sci/, check the sticky. There's bound to be some stuff there. Good luck.

oh shut up you know very well most of the people here are engineers larping as physicists.
Might not really net you a job or anyhting OP but I appreciate all the CS people who created fancy biology animations. The ones that show you how certain proteins interact with each other on a molecular level or how cells look and work.
I always thought there should be a project of CS and Bio people scraping together all the ressources out there to create a 3d map of a(animal or plants idc) cell with correct movements, proportions, size, density, basically everything.

OP here fun fact. I actually worked with some bio chemists on solving some protein folding issues regarding T-cells which resulted in a new study for the reduction of energy production in mitochondria which can be used to slow down cancer. I know it's just baby steps but it's something. And also yes I'm bot an engineer and later accomplished a master in the so hated field of CS.

If I had my way the physicists would be banished too. Or perhaps we can have our text-only math board back.

>halp im a techlet and i want to be spoonfed the wonderful world of hardware design/engineering/troubleshooting

Fuck you OP, go suck a dick and stop trying to put us tech professionals out of business.

I can't really help you too much but I think these books might help, I recall them mentioning of constructing things, solving engineering issues with a bit of material science.

I doubt you are a tech professional you seem highly insecure about your own profession.

>>12481148
marvelous I will take a look into it but construction/civil engineering is not really what I wanted to go for. My objective is ever more tiny instead of ever more bigger.

Still sad that /sci/ has no real books. Don't kids these days learn out of books anymore? Or am I just an oldfag in a newfags world?

I don't want torrents, I grew up learning from books before the internet. I want books and based books to speak current speak.

look up /sci/'s wiki list-

https://4chan-science.fandom.com/wiki/Electrical_and_Electronics_Engineering

or search "*subject* stack exchange self study" in the SE of you choice

on a side note: how do you study from textbooks. They are so big, and take alot of time to go through, which sort of demotivates me.

Ok im not op but i had this problem too, just kinda pushed through it.
Whenever i got frustrated when nothing was really going into my head or got to a part i didnt understand i would take 5 min break do some quick exercises / went out to get some fresh air and got back into it
Took me about half a year of giving up and coming back till i started to acually not mind textbooks, although they are still dry as a motherfucker since professors usually write thoes like they were explaining whatever is in the book to them selfs
Tldr: When you get frustrated get some air/exercise

OP here this. But also just learning to bite into it and stick with it helps. It's just like a good marriage you will have to put more effort in then you initially would want to but the reward is bigger then the divorce can ever account for.

I believe that the current architecture is mainly focused on computational speed and not on smarter logical units. That said since Intel introduced MMX and 3DFX introduced hardware accelerated graphics there was only progress in fields of creating giant arrays of small computational units for specific tasks. Such as AI, GPU's and todays cryptocurrency framing chips and the likes. I believe that a better balance is needed between which core functions every type of processing unit should have against a CPU and that a CPU should be nothing more than a distributing system without almost any software interacting with it. Sort of like a BIOS but still programmable. This way we could potentially build much faster super computers, distribute computing power and handle all kinds of different processing units even quantum or neuro synaptic processing. The problem is now these problems are solved in a conventional way and I want to study and test new ways to explore how to overcome these limitations. I'm just a stupid man IQ is less than 110 but I can study for 20 hours straight and with a photographic memory remember it all. Hope that explains a bit more.
