8 billion tokens? What did that cost?

I think what Valve gets right is how much value and respect it provides to both players and developers. Of course you can find some issues here and there. But in general, neither players nor developers are angry or frustrated with Valve/Steam.
It's no surprise that it's hard to compete with that.
On the other hand, I find it surprising that no one thinks there is a way to take operating system market share away from Microsoft with a better end user operating system. There is constantly new annoying stuff practically forced upon you and people are complaining left and right. Of course Microsoft has built several moats, but this level of disrespect against your own users has to backfire some day.

I guess you just need to configure `ListenAddress` in your `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` properly (see `man sshd_config`).

The keyboard and keyboard layout are really great and primary laptop still is an X220T.
However, the resolution is horrible (1366x768), the CPU is slow, it's heavy, mine has no USB3 and the charger is quite bulky.

Conscious AI primarily would be a problem because we don't really have clear definitions and understandings of what we mean by that, and it leads to endless discussions.
The real problem is not whether an AI really "experiences" what happens to it or what it does, it's not even whether or not it gains "free will" (if that even exists).
The real problems start when AI gains motives/objectives and means to realize them. Or means to expand its means. I would find a completely stupid system that has the goal and ability to turn any matter into paperclips and more matter converters more scary than most visions of AI.

> Snowden’s lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena, told Interfax that “since Edward didn’t serve in the Russian army and has no military service experience, he’s not liable for conscription.”

It wasn't just about incentives. The disclosure also says that while Musk asked for [spam bot accounts / total active acccounts], Agrawal's response didn't really address the question and was pretty misleading [estimated spam bots among mDAU accounts / total mDAU accounts < 5%].
("Argawal's reasoning might appear a bit circular since, by definition, mDAU is more or less Twitter's best approximation of the set of accounts that aren't bots. And Agrawal is not exactly trying to help readers understand the bait-and-switch nature of his answer." - page 13/84)

kkrieger (https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=12036) is an impressive 3D shooter in only 96 KiloBytes. As one of their optimization techniques they recorded all code paths and discarded unused parts. At least in the first version this was why you could only use CursorDown in the menus and CursorUp did not work.

> No it does mean the overhead is 280% if defined the same way as the university (overhead is calculated as percentage of non-overhead costs, not overall costs).
But he said:
> That is my billing rate to the government is 2.8 times my hourly rate as determined by my salary.
Doesn't that mean that the government pays a total of 2.8x his salary, so overhead would be 180% (+100% salary = 280% total)? Or what mistake did I make here?
