No no no I don't mean some bullshit answer like: "Oh the hard drive does this and connects with that and does this." No fuck you. break it down further.
"Yeah well it does things in the terms of 0s and 1s where 0 is an off and 1 is an on" no also fuck you. I mean really. How do computers work?
"user wtf are you talking about." So when I break it down and look at not an entire component but just an individual logic chip... it is a chip that has an input and then an output. it inputs, does a function based on some assembly logic and then applies the output.
SO THEN HOW THE FUCK DOES IT UNDERSTAND ASSEMBLY?! Who coded this and why does nobody know this outside of super-genius level people in the fucking 50s/60s working with vacuum tubes and shit. None of us understand this shit and if you do, please... educate me. how does assembly work and who coded the logic so these chips understand assembly. What is below assembly? Just binary? Someone coded an entire working language in assembly and made a chip understand wtf it's saying based off of a single transistor? Where is the fucking connection and it's driving me insane thinking about it.
Lets say I gave you some fucking wires and some damn transistors to play with, can we make a piece of code to make the wires and transistors talk in a way that is meaningful?
Sounds like you need an into course in digital electronics. Those usually walk you through building logic gates out of simpler logic gates, simple memory and machines using them (counters adders, etc), more complex out of those, all the way up to instruction memory and a trvial calculator circuit or cpu.

Elements of a modern computing system is good. any deeper is digital electronics
Nathan Flores
cables go into monitors and benis into bagina :D
Lucas Ramirez
so a digital electronics course is the way to go? I'm genuinely curious as this is the type of shit that future civilizations will think of us as this magical godlike beings of intellect making artifacts of pure magic. We need to have this shit written down on a big ass stone and planted in the middle of the White House or another monument where people will dig it up and find it like we did with the Rosetta stone understanding Egyptian.
Right now as far as what I understand in computers is pretty much it is fucking magic and impossible to understand currently.

Do you know how logic gates work, OP? If yes, then learn how to make counters and ALUs. A microprocessor consists of ALUs and memory controllers, more or less, and are able to fetch instructions from memory and feed it to the ALUs.
ALUs are basically just logic gates that interpret input (opcodes and operands) and give you an output value.
If you don't understand how logic gates work, start by learning how logic gates work.
Christopher Peterson
Look up Crash Course Computer Science in YouTube. It describes computers from binary, to logical circuits, to instructions and programs.
>inb4 what is memory Here is where transistors come in to play, transistors can store a state.
Jose Hernandez
>ehh fucking learn
yeah thank you for the guide and I plan on following up with it but is there anybody that can give even a piece of a synopses to this?
Thomas Collins
You literally stated in OP that you don't want bullshit explanations. If you want an in-depth explanation, you have to put in some effort to understand yourself.
"Assembly" is just loading instructions (machine code) into registers which are then interpreted by the microprocessor by reading the value (opcode) and additional input (operands). If you want to understand how registers are implemented physically, you need to dig into digital circuits.
