Honestly, humanity is probably going to go away. We should probably try to revive extinct species, if only to provide the necessary information for someone or something else to revive us.
A practical strategy may then be to focus on mammals generally, primates specifically.
You are exactly right, and there is a name for one of the concepts that builds upon a convenient API layer (now Python usually) â" called steerable code. One builds the high performance guts in C, C++, or Fortran. But problem setup (initial state, physics, algorithmic choices) are specified in the higher level language. Oftentimes, the code has an interactive python shell.
If the workflow can be put into a series of commands -- like your examples of an analysis of a BIGROW x BIGCOL table, or debugging a program -- then ironically it is possible to use a smartphone or tablet for that work. I do it all the time. I have an IPython shell running in a screen session on an external ssh server. I am able to get a bunch of debugging and programming done in the IPython shell using a good ssh client with a good enough keyboard (vSSH on iOS devices).

Now, that's what must be a highly motivating work environment:/
One must wonder how their hiring process works, i.e. letting such characters through the gates, since recent reports don't paint a pretty picture.
Here's a modest proposal: after something like that is reported, publicize it on youtube, and refer to the offender by his or her social security number or home address.
My personal favorite is Google Play Music. I upload all my old songs, and subsequent new songs, using the gmusicapi Python module under the hood. I can then stream my music in my car while driving.
What's the point of an AI if it isn't even smart enough to circumvent its own kill switch? Why would I want the advice or other help of something that stupid?
I think you are wrong. Look at what happened to the Chinese (Chinese exclusion act). Look at what happened to the Japanese-Americans and Italians (internment camps). The most dangerous thing to do is hope it will go away. Don't we have enough big data analysis tools to determine whether "this time is different?"
Take Trump's statements to their logical conclusion, step by step: 1) let's ban all Muslims from entering the country; 2) let's ban Muslim permanent residents from reentering the country; 3) let's register Muslim permanent residents in a special registry (separate from their non-citizen status); 4) let's register naturalized Muslim citizens; 5) let's register natural-born Muslim citizens; 6) let's keep Muslim citizens from reentering the country; 7) let's now put the Muslims into separate locations "for the rest of our safety."
The most correct statement I heard about this is that, "legislators should do nothing." That is the only correct statement; reactionary, discriminatory, illiberal policies have occurred throughout the history of the US and other places (in the US for instance, the problems with Italian anarchists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries; the Palmer raids; the Red Scare). These attitudes and laws and PEOPLE have done nothing to advance our security, and everything to damage, dimimish, and destroy the lives of the mostly innocent citizens they touched.
People will get angry, people will harass and persecute Muslims (or whatever persecuted groups there are). I know this is currently unrealistic societally, but the law at least should completely recognize and defend the completely justified attitude of, "I will live my life freely, and will not apologize through word and deed for the actions of people for whom I am not responsible." With nothing, by design the law remains on the side of people who behave freely, and against people who behave illegally.
What's wrong with making the texts for technical courses (math, science, engineering) free? Put everything online, get volunteers to work on them if there's a demand for them, start with digital copies of excellent Russian texts in the maths and sciences. India did something similar before the internet: the costs of textbooks in these subjects was only the extremely minimal cost of making and distributing the books, and major Indian politicians said it was fine to wholesale make copies of these books!
Have any of you gone to a hardware or home improvement store? Lowe's or Home Depot? Do you recall the goofy names given to paint? There's your answer: CSS color names = paint color names!

You mean like a Beowulf Cluster?

People hurt people! Nobody put a a gun (an internet-connected device?) to anyone's heads, and forced them to go online!

I hope restaurants move to that model too, as a way to decrease crowding and increase efficiency.

Ah, Windows...the RC Cola in the Pepsi-Coke wars of the mobile computing space.
So I suppose I can put in a book-length tweet as a ransom note GIF, or maybe just scanned text? Cool!
Heh, I prefer Winnetou.
The uninstall feature.
Can you recommend less corrupt and more competent computer security organizations to handle this task?

Replying to my post, because I found the Commerce Department study.
I could find no link to the Commerce Department study in the Seattle Times article.

I wonder why the Germans chose the name Sea Lion.
