If artificial intelligence goes off the rails, which manyphilosophers and tech entrepreneurs seem to think is likely, it could result in rampant activity beyond human control. So some researchers think it's important to develop systems to "interrupt" AI programs, and to ensure the AI can't develop a way to prevent those interruptions. A study, conducted in 2014 by Google-owned AI lab DeepMind and the University of Oxford, sought to create a framework for handing control of AI programs over to human beings. In other words, a "big red button" to keep the software in check.

If you need a big red button it's already too late. See also "AI boxing" concept.

I'm just starating to learn C. What are some projects that are good to start with? I have read a book on C and I want to start putting the knowledge I've collected to use.

1. Make a doubly linked list.
2. Use the doubly linked list to make a chained hash table
3. Use the LinkedList and HashTable to make a file system crawler, indexer, and search engine. (build a module that reads the content of a file into memory, parses it into a series of words, and builds a linked list of (word, position) information. Build modules that convert a series of these linked lists into an in-memory, inverted index. Use this in-memory, inverted index to build a query processor that has a console-based interface.)
4. Write code that takes an in-memory inverted index produced by (3) and writes it out to disk in an architecture-neutral format. Write C code that walks through an on-disk index to service a lookup. Write a query processor that serves queries from multiple on-disk indices.
5. Implement a multithreaded Web server front-end to your query processor.

Fuck that shit. We need an outspoken anti-augmentation activist like what RMS is to freetards. I don't want our world to look like Deus Ex
If it's just an identification chip, that's just got your employee number or something like that, nothing particularly bad about that.

They're literally implanting RFID chips in their employees and you're like 'yeh whatever dude welcome to 2016'
The future isn't a boot stamping onto a human face forever, it's a boot stamping onto a human face forever and the face is saying 'dude welcome to CURRENT YEAR this is how things work stop being such a whiner'

how do you replace a string of 4 digits with the same 4 digits, but padded with parentheses?
e.g. 2016 --> (2016)
i know how to find the 4 digit string, but not how to replace it
grep -E -o "[0-9]{4}"
>>54901068
install gentoo
let string = format!("({})", string);
to pad with strings "foo" and "bar"
sed -E 's/([0-9]{4})/foo\1bar/g'

Why don't you just buy a k4000 pro? It's not bloated, it's cheap, it runs smooth, and it's very tough.
Whats the best way to prepare a bootable USB flash drive? I dont like using intermediates like Rufus or YUMIboot, rather would go for a grubloader. What are the necessary steps to making one from cmd?

Bought this a couple of months ago ,pretty sweet for 24 bucks has a 10hr battery.
Try the Bluedio HT Turbine.

Be aware that they are made for smaller head sizes, so if your head is massive and wonky it may not be for you.
I have one and it sounds great for Bass-driven music, but pretty weak on the highs, which can get muddy.
Build is mostly plastic though.

How do I know if X phone will support 4G with Y carrier? My current carrier is Cricket Wireless and the phone im looking at is the One Plus One. How do i know if the phone and carrier will be compatible? This cellular band shit is really confusing me.
Look up what frequencies the phone uses vs what frequencies the carrier uses.
>>54901018
Any link for Cricket wireless? I cannot seem to find it.
>>54900910
Cricket should support the opo.

During AMD's presentation at Computex 2016, the company showed no fear as it compared the new Polaris-basedRadeon RX 480 GPUtoNvidia's GeForce GTX 1080. The $700 Pascal-based powerhouse was tested inAshes of the Singularityversus a pair of the Polaris GPUs and came away a little embarrassed in this scenario. AMD presented a slide that claimed the GTX 1080 only managed 58.7 (we presume average) FPS, while the Radeons pushed out 62.5 FPS using the same settings.
>Robert Hallock, AMD's Global Head of Technical Marketing, madea postinthe official AMD sub-Redditsays this in his post:
>Ashes uses procedural generation based on a randomized seed at launch. The benchmark does look slightly different every time it is run. But that, many have noted, does not fully explain the quality difference people noticed.
>At present the GTX 1080 is incorrectly executing the terrain shaders responsible for populating the environment with the appropriate amount of snow.The GTX 1080 is doing less work to render AOTS than it otherwise would if the shader were being run properly. Snow is somewhat flat and boring in color compared to shiny rocks, which gives the illusion that less is being rendered, but this is an incorrect interpretation of how the terrain shaders are functioning in this title.
>The content being rendered by the RX 480--the one with greater snow coverage in the side-by-side (the leftinthese images)--is the correct execution of the terrain shaders.
>So,even with fudgy image quality on the GTX 1080 that could improve their performance a few percent, dual RX 480 still came out ahead.

Sauce on pic?
so many typos
this triggers the frog
>>54900664
How did that dog got there?
So I noticed strange activity on my bandwidth monitor and decided to investigate. Here whats I discovered:
-After 65 seconds of inactivity, the files in the pic are created in a new temp folder
-It keeps connecting to "contentiously.com" through vds.exe
-upload and download rates are at 1.2 K
-It will not do any of this if TaskManager is open
-It will delete all the files it created if I touch the mouse or keyboard
-When TaskManager is opened, 2 instances of "COM Surrogate" suddenly closes (not sure if this is normal behavior)
Avast doesn't detect anything, but this is highly unusual and I suspect its a virus. From the "blake256" file alone, I assume its mining bitcoins. I googled the symptoms, but only one other person mentioned it and they never got a solution - so I suspect its something new.
Does anyone know what this is? Suggestions? Is there a tool to let you see what service/file is creating these files?

Is it possible to underclock a gpu to the point it doesnt need a 6 pin power connector?
I mean, i dont need all that performance but i dont want a 750 ti or a 950 se
>>54900430
No.
You can downclock it to reduce power consumption sometimes, but you'll always need that 6pin.
>>54900430
No, just don't even bother to waste time on this.
>>54900430
Back in the old days, i ran my 9800gtx+ without the connector till my power supply came in. It worked fine with significantly reduced performance, the card automatically detected the situation and ran in reduced power mode.
