Medfag here. I'm trying to decide what speciality I should pursue. I'm really interested in radiology, but I'm concerned about the possibility of robots eventually taking over the job. Do you think this is a real possibility in our lifetime? IBM is already trying to teach Watson to read films...
doubt it. there is so much variation in human anatomy, ai won't be able to do it well enough, a human will still need to be involved to ensure it was analysed correctly.
Disclaimer: This is a US centric opinion.
I wouldn't choose radiology or pathology. Teleradiology is already a thing. Radiologists managed to get together and tell congress to make it illegal to outsource radiology to foreign countries. Radiology in general is still outsourced however, just to US companies.
The same thing is happening in pathology since you can feed slides into a machine that scans in the entire thing. Then you can electronically send the slide wherever you want. Grossing is done by PAs so you don't even have that.
The best job security is in things that are more clinical. If you're interested in radiology, go into interventional radiology. Most of your patients will be under anyway.

Jokes on you computers have already done it, better than humans no less. Problem is that it's still not cheaper than what I'm about to talk about.
OP should instead worry about radiology being taken over by indians or whatever- they send the scans to indians who shit out diagnosis and such and send that back.
All I want to know is, what is your opinion?
Background: I am going to a California State University for Comp. Sci. (currently a junior). The program lets me pick 3 graduate level courses for my B.S. I heard that employers do not care which classes you choose, but I don't want to waste my time.
Choices: Computation and Complexity, Operating Systems Design, Automata and Formal Languages, Advanced Software Engineering, Software Engineering of Web-Based Systems, Cryptography and Data Security, Advanced WWW Software Development, Data Compression, Topics in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computer Simulation, Topics in Numerical Analysis, Theory and Design of Compilers, VLSI Systems Design, Network Security, Distributed Computation, Distributed Systems, Database Systems, Digital Signal Processing, Computer Vision
Why should I choose, what do you want to do? It's as simple as that.
Vote for Trump before you kill yourself.
I would go as followed:
Cryptography and Data Security
Network Security
Theory and design of compilers or operating system design
Where were you when freetype2 added proper subpixel hinting?
fonts look proper now
This is what proper fonts look like.
>>55469053
I can zoom in a bunch too
Here is DejaVu sans mono with hinting at FULL
(12pt 1080p)
you'll notice that the stems aren't one pixel thin as with the old freetype2 engine
it's proper
>beaten by Nvidia in the high end
>suffer from poor driver optimisations and overhead in the lower end
Is any AMD product worth buying?
>>55468973
Idk man, my fx6350 has been going great for something slightly cheaper than an i3 3220.
Performs closer to the i5 for the games I play with my gtx960
>>55468973
>Is any AMD product worth buying?
No.
>>55468973
Buy whatever you need
In this ITT thread: technology buzzwords.

"Machine Learning" is an actual field of research. "Deep Learning" is more of a buzzword.
What shell does /g/ use?
>>55468939
Terminology
>>55468953
That's not a shell
>>55468960
You're not a shell
I'm trying to find a 24 hour spot with wifi that's relatively quiet where I can do schoolwork. Any suggestions?
I was thinking laundromats or Walmarts?
>Walmart
>Relatively quiet
Lowes has WiFi. Just sit outside in a car or nearby and you're good.

I'm using bbLean on Windows 7, and I have systembarex loaded instead of the default bblean taskbar because I wanted to be able to see my systray icons. However, I can't right click on some of them, specifically MEGASync. Anyone have any idea what could be wrong?
Will the 200m fan carry the weight enough to make this setup have positive air pressure
I get the feeling that Intel and Nvidia are letting AMD survive. It just seems like they both have their boots on AMD's throat, but they won't crush them because of monopoly laws and all that bullshit.
Think there's any truth to that?
No. that's not happening. delete this thread.
>>55468850
I am imagining her getting double penetrated by Intel and nvidia old fat men right now.
>>55468823
If AMD went under, both companies would instantly be put under more restrict regulation to prevent monopoly exploitation.
Happened to the major oil producer in my country. They even went and invested in their competitor at prevent themselves from getting fucked.
is this dead?
>>55468732
god I hope so
>Tumblr
Nope.
>>55468732
It was a good idea on paper but it was terrible executed and shitlords making bad stuff for it made it worse.
Can I repartition my laptop HDD, move all my data over, and install another Linux on the primary boot partition?
I want to install a new distro on my laptop without the hassle of backing up 170GB of data over a usb 2.0 port while it sits there and overheats.

Holy shit this is so cool
Lets discuss biotechnology, artificial muscles and the like. Power armors in sci-fi will probably be real before we know it

Unholy.
I wish Nvidia would utilize this technology

you're a closet, self-hating homosexual.
Just found it lying in my draw, can you do anything with it yet?
create a jacking off simulator game for it
>>55468676
Maybe. Sell to me.
If you have a VR headset it's really cool.
Post your add-ons/userscripts and laugh at Palemoon users

Foxyproxy is great for streaming outside the United States
I made a script for removing a dynamically generated "please disable your ad-blocker" message on some site.
Alright /g/,
I'm finally switching to Linux after Microsoft forced Windows 10 on my PC. I've narrowed it down to Fedora and Arch Linux. I develop web apps and play games. I'm also thinking about using Budgie as a DE.
Thoughts?
Fedora is all around good.
Arch is good too if you want to go full neckbeard tho.
Debian is for production environments, why wouldn't you just install that?
>>55468387
Running Wayland full-time in Fedora 24 without issues. Fedora + RPMFusion is the way to go.
