@hbdgaf heh, now SE is sentient?

btw, this askubuntu.com/questions/361712/… needs to meet purgatory

Thomas W.

@Braiam It's always been sentient

you've just been ignoring the signs of sentience.

hbdgaf

@Braiam machine learning is the future of things. people still define the learning algorithm, so it's not closed loop yet. once we design learning systems that can build learning systems we're extinct by design.

Lucio

learning systems that can build learning systems

I would begin with, devs that kill PHP plague

Braiam

delete this askubuntu.com/q/358619/169736 see last comment

Thomas W.

@Braiam burned

@Braiam I set some thermite on it, another delete vote will ignite it

hbdgaf

12:03 AM

@Lucio gpu farms provide enough processing power. it's just a matter of time. it would be interesting to see how it played out, but I have no doubt as to the final outcome.

Braiam

gpu only are good for crunching numbers, so I doubt it could work for complex operations

hbdgaf

@ThomasW. wonder-twin powers unite.

Braiam

deletiong askubuntu.com/q/364928/169736

Lucio

mmmm GPU

Thomas W.

heheh

hbdgaf

12:05 AM

@Braiam it can. you just have to reduce complex problems to numerical operations, which is no different from conventional programming.

the hard part is breaking down the problem in to worker sets.

Braiam

if anyone is willing to take their deletion hammer somewhere about here askubuntu.com/search?q=%5Bcrash%5D+closed%3Ayes+answers%3A0

(imma out of votes)

hbdgaf

i haz votes, but it's not really worth my time to parse. if you have specific this probably needs attention sets, i'll look at those.

Braiam

ok, let me look for those that haz more votez, like this askubuntu.com/questions/65157/…

thiz one askubuntu.com/questions/21019/…

this other askubuntu.com/questions/109132/…

mint haters: askubuntu.com/questions/215941/…

hbdgaf

@Braiam that one has a working/accepted answer. is there a reason you're deleting it? it's a far cry from your first submission

Braiam

@hbdgaf is only based on opinions and sentiment about the service, not some hard facts and right now the reality could be another

also, it seems to plan gathering experience going for the accepted answer

hbdgaf

12:10 AM

i voted on two. i guess 50% ain't bad.

Thomas W.

one of em has been burned :P

Braiam

also don't worry, it needs several votes

this one is facebook specific askubuntu.com/questions/407483/facebook-update

hbdgaf

@Braiam hard facts can't express: "this person made me feel like shit". or "this service was awesome from a human perspective". awesome support is about making people happy as much as it is about solving their problems. just an observation from support experience.

Braiam

yeah, but would a single answer collect all experiences of all people that paid for the service?

hbdgaf

@Braiam worth deleting

@Braiam it's not worth trying to parse that.

Braiam

12:14 AM

run of the mill "give meh teh codez" askubuntu.com/questions/170172/help-with-this-script

hbdgaf

deleted as homework banhammer

Braiam

mm... I read the answer of this one and I found better questions with parts of the answers askubuntu.com/q/327347/169736

btw, read Oli comment

hbdgaf

i got half way through that and got out.

Braiam

this is no longer relevant askubuntu.com/q/55183/169736

hbdgaf

and i just hit my stamina break. i need to play some l4d2. if you have a "REAL NEED. NO QUESTINS, THIS SHIT NEEDS NAPALM" ping me with a list.

Seth

12:18 AM

@Braiam I hate it when people answer those D:

@Braiam boom.

Braiam

now, time to read some manga

Seth

Is this an answer? askubuntu.com/questions/27459/why-cant-i-boot-from-portable-hd/…

Braiam

> Now, I don't know how to solve this problem

-_-

wow, is this hot for anyone?

Seth

ah. For some reason my brain didn't parse that bit.

kalina

night all

@Braiam yes

Lucio

12:27 AM

That is who everyone should go to sleep..

Is "sort of people" well said? I mean, is it nice or not at all?

blade19899

@kalina Night

Lucio

e.g. the people how eat chocolates are a really nice sort of people

no English person live around? o_O

bahh nevermind

Seth

@Lucio Sort of people is fine, but the beginning of your sentence doesn't make sense ("the people how" part)

Oli

1:08 AM

I don't think I've ever seen so many people disagree on so many flags.

Braiam

1:24 AM

mm?

APZ

Hi everyone

any apt-cacher-ng fans online?

karel

1:56 AM

@Seth I tried to do whatever I could to fix up this question to make it less unclear: askubuntu.com/review/close/224399 .

Mateo

2:06 AM

@karel hm, If it is alphabetical - put a zero at the begining

Braiam

2:18 AM

@karel that changed too much the original meaning. If we go by the original, he could be using windows for all we know...

DK Bose

@Seth Thanks, yes it did get deleted. Something in Arabic (?) with links in English unrelated to Linux, AFAICT.

Lucio

2:33 AM

@Seth oh yes, typo

@hbdgaf now we can know who will receive Spam :P

xiaodongjie

@Lucio is ok. I'll look about the remmina...

@Lucio may i ask you a question?

In ubuntu software center, I search and install "xdm", But I can't install with follow message:

Lucio

3:12 AM

(ready to search it for you)

xiaodongjie

To Install or remove software, you need to authenticate.

An application is attempting to perform an action that requires priviliage.

Lucio

can you take a screenshoot?

xiaodongjie

yes

Lucio

@xiaodongjie whenever you try to install something with USF you need to provide password

Did you entered the right password?

xiaodongjie

@Lucio please look above link....

Lucio

xiaodongjie

Lucio

Have you ever installed something with the command line?

xiaodongjie

no. I don't installed anything with the command line.

Lucio

3:25 AM

And first time with SC too?

SC? what?

Software Center

oh, Yes.

Do this: talk with the administrator of the computer you're using and tell him to install the stuff.

xiaodongjie

Thanks for your help. @Lucio

Lucio

3:27 AM

The user you are currently logged is not part of sudoers.

Q: What is the right file permission for a .pem file to SSH and SCP

I have tried to SSH into my AWS ubuntu server and copy the directory to my local machine. Throughout the process I experience different file permission errors (noted below). Is there one specific file permission needed for the .pem file that allows me to SSH and SCP? Or do I need to change th...

Lucio

The design of my solution is a bit precarious.

But hey, I'm not Mateo :)

If I were reviewing it, I would flag it as poor quality :P

Good luck on the elections to everyone!

xiaodongjie
