Just to gloat: my latest Amazon delivery[^] was due to arrive between 13th and 15th December. It was delivered this afternoon.

So which is it, a prediction algorithm or live tracking? Someone has their wires crossed (and no, not you!)
I can just see marketing come up with "and we now have a live tracking prediction system!"

The delivery van broke down, was being towed away farther and farther from your house, which is why the number of deliveries left was increasing?
Well, that was me taking a shot at it. I have no better explanation.

It seems chess algorithms are to deep learning - what a typewriter is to a computer with a modern word processor.

interesting, but it's only doing something using defined rules (legal moves) within a limited dataset 8x8 locations - that's not really AI, more a best path algorithm.
OK, it "taught itself the rules" well not really, they had to tell it how the pieces can and can't move. Learning say to not 'throw away your pieces - even pawns too soon,' just a matter of marking out fast failing decision paths.
It looks at fewer moves than stockfish - does that really mean it's smarter or merely more aggressive at pruning seemingly bad paths at shallower levels (whereas stockfish would still follow initially bad looking paths to see if a high probability win still possible)? - the adage of the simplest is usually the best comes in to play for a few different reasons.
Signature ready for installation. Please Reboot now.

You know, there should be laws about not using AI's to take the fun out of games like chess and Go.
Come to think of it, there should be laws about not using AI's to take the fun out of programming. Just the crappy boring inane stuff, like (erm, redacted, Jeremy might be watching.)

Downloaded last night (all night, slow internet) and am installing this morning.
Installed software includes; Gimp, FireFox, etc... Nice, don't have to download FF first thing!
Anyone else using this version? Thoughts?

Installed Lubuntu 17.10 onto a virtual machine. All went well. Haven't gotten a chance to play with it much yet.

Wait till you cant get the graphics to work...
I took a macrium backup, had a play with it, messed it up to the point I had to reimage the disk, and now it wont boot past grub. Booting into repair shows a kernel panic.
Christ knows why a working OS backup cant be put back on the disk. That is really messed up.
Dont like Wayland particularly, everything is 'access denied', apart from that it seems much the same as the last time I tried Ubuntu.
Anyway, so reinstalling it.
(Actually I am pretty pissed off with it right now.)

If I remember right you have to clone the disk, backup doesn't work?

Probably, havent used Ubuntu outside of a VM for a long time.

The only time I ever used it out of VirtualBox was on an old computer I set up as a NAS server.

I had to add acpi=off to the install to get it to run. Other threads talked about nomodeset, or specific nvidia settings, did you have nay trouble?
The laptop I am using is prertty recent with a UEFI bios, this causes issues apparently. Also the installer wouldnt recognise the existing windows OS, so I had to do the 'something else' and set the ubuntu partitions up manually.
A bit of a faf really, and yet another reason Ubuntu will never make it onto the home platform. It is just too damn fiddly.

I've never had relatively few problems with Ubuntu.

Had to google UEFI so I'd say never had to deal with it. Using Windows 7!

I use win7 too, but the laptop is pretty new and came with win10 on it, piece of junk that it is.
Major annoyance, I cant change the resolution of the grub screen from the maximum so its impossible to read.
