Life In 19x19

I am afraid, from your remarks, that you did not ask your question honestly. Perhaps you were looking for agreement to bolster your own conclusions, and willing to dismiss out of hand people who disagree with you. Frankly, your question was deceptive. It wasn't really a question. Some people might ...

Hey guys I'm sorry if what I said was insulting, I'm just frustrated by the lack of action. The cheating does seem obvious to me (and I thought it was to everybody else) so I was surprised when nobody voted on the poll and nobody plain out called the cheater out (which is ...

Some games of the same player where he is known to not be using AI (eg before strong bots if he was same strength years ago, in person game records where more easily believed to have not been cheating) for comparison allow stronger conclusions.
I don't think it's necessary but if it will help you ...

These responses are really disappointing and make me sad as hell. I'm no sure if you people are blind, complicit or just plain dumb.

I don't see any evidence of cheating based solely on concordance with AI moves. If you don't see any evidence, that's because you didn't bother to check.
Seriously ...

Based on only 4 games, is it possible to determine the use of AI?

No, if anything, it gets more fun when you stop studying and just play crazy

I encountered "QtWidgets: No such file or Directory" during make for QGo 2.

Ubuntu 12.4. QMake -v reports I should have Qt v. 4.8

Quick googling suggested editing some .pro file, but I deleted the folder for now, I'll try from scratch tomorrow, to see if I managed to break anything while I ...

Yeah, the article makes it sound like computers are already at pro level, it's very misleading IMO.

I was always curious about such statements, both in chess and in go.
To me, when you play an opponent that can beat you, give you good game, and make you sweat to stay afloat - in other words, one ...

Update:
I updated my PPA to the latest version of qGo (based on qt5), but since Raring stopped being supported, the new packages are only for Saucy (an old, qt4-based version is still available for Raring though). Same process to add the PPA as before:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kalaka/ppa ...

Damn, beat me to it as well

I totally agree with Tim's post, computers are just a tool whether or not they're better than us at whatever it is they do. What would be really scary about AI would be if they could actually reach a point of self consciosness!

Computers are better at checkers, chess ...

Wow, this is awesome! I've been looking for an easy way to connect to WBaduk on linux and hadn't found it.

Btw, I made a PPA here for those who don't want to compile it. It was tested on Ubuntu 13.04 but may work on other variants. Just run:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kalaka/ppa
sudo apt-get ...
