Yet you probably use toothpaste containing sodium fluoride or drink tap water with sodium fluoride and think nothing of it. That’s probably worse for you. That’s why a lot of places stopped adding fluoride from drinking water and why you spit tooth paste out and don’t give children fluoride tooth paste until they learn to spit.

While calcium fluoride is safe when consumed.

Oh buddy... you're not normal. If you're yoyoing 50 pounds then you also have the eating disorder.

Trust me on this. I also thought it was a self-control thing. It's not at all. When you're normal you actually get full. I don't mean telling yourself you are full, actually full. You do not want to eat anymore. You don't want chocolate straight after eating dinner. You don't go to the fridge randomly to get snacks. You actually have no desire for food. You voluntarily stop eating during meals because you don't want to eat anymore.

It's something you can't really comprehend without experiencing it because you've experienced a lifetime of the hunger constantly telling you to eat. The idea that you could just... not want to eat is just absurd. But that's how it feels. When a normal person eats a small meal and says they are full, they are actually full. There's no self-control for them, no screaming voice or impulses.
Do you think this has something to do with the fact that turnstile jumping has been effectively legalised (in the sense of not being prosecuted) in NY?

Question for you: can you quantify, what fraction of crime and other forms of sociopathy in the NY public transport system you estimate to be committed by passengers who paid their fare? (My estimation: less than 1 percent.)

I don't think it's reasonable to assume that a simple metal gate alone can completely solve complex social dysfunction, a simple metal gate can however help, and, when we refer to turnstile access being desirable, we implicitly assume that we can reasonably expect turnstile use being adhered to, and violations punished with at least moderately high probability.
The EEA cap on fees only applies to interchange in 4-party schemes, i.e. the part that goes back to the issuing bank. PSPs typically charge between 0.7 and 1.5%. But yes, it's possible to do much better than countries like the US. For starters because card-present fraud is virtually nonexistent, and online fraud is drastically lower thanks to SCA.

That said, you're right, there's a fundamental difference between moving funds in an immutable way (whose marginal price tends to zero) and a payment system.
Not sure if you are unfamiliar with the credit cards issued in India, but my bank's fraud protection is limited to "did someone steal your card and make a payment"

Appreciate the candidness!
Which means bifurcation will occur. Payments where you have high trust and confidence you won’t need a dispute will use UPI or similar instant payment rails. Transactions where you are not confident or are concerned a dispute is going to be required, you’ll pay the transaction fee to use CC rails. Credit cards will become “insured payment” rails for lower trust transactions.

I’d never dispute a payment to my mortgage servicer or electrical utility, but I absolutely might for a rando Facebook ad sale.

Glad to see it.

It makes me sad that there are so many misconceptions about UPI that people are willing to resort to falsehoods (such as CBDCs and privacy) and it shows that most criticisms are from people that haven't used it in the real world.
And they will use tricks that are only apparent visually, e.g. using tables and putting "same as above" which utterly confuses the Bing bot.

I just saw someone's screencap of Norton's chat bot wrongly saying its VPN software won't work on Linux because Linux is a server, and servers are operated by programs and not users. It was ridiculous, and I think companies get further and further away from usefulness by allowing this to be an acceptable "service."
This is also an excellent example of the use of the royal "we" in graduate school. In my case, it was "I think we should look into this". Trotted off to the library for a while...
>> Society does need reliable, true information.

I believe otherwise. They are perfectly happy with the errors. I see this as wikipedia 2.0. Wikipedia was once derided for being full of errors and holes. Now it is a de facto encyclopedia, the go-to place for the "true" description of most anything. AI will do the same. Eventually its error and subtle biases will become the accepted version of reality. Society needs only actionable information. Accuracy is great, but volume of content wins the audience.
Yes, as explained in my other comment down thread. All parties would agree on the logical claim being made “for-each dog, exists event { dog did bark }”. There could be multiple interpretations of this claim using alternative or stretched definitions of the words “dog” or “bark,” but the logical structure would be unambiguous.
Is this meant to describe how a slippery slope forms, or call one out?

Effective communication involving other people only sometimes overlaps with this subjective-first, transactional approach, the: I care about, I talk about, or All I want is.

(It's a great view for designing a specific type of community, with business-transactional perspective + valuing of tightening subjective logic and avoiding fallacy. Well, this will always result in a specific type of tech community with some special focus on business and economic factors as combined with tech.)

And I guess if we effectively cherry-pick the premise, with straw people assuming their various positions on the stage, we can easily justify a more anonymizing, transactional view of language. "This is how I prefer to view my life, therefore the needed language looks like..."

In this view, language doesn't need all that extra stuff. Keep it direct, functional, logical, and avoid fallacies especially.

But this isn't really getting at the relating capabilities of language for example, like when there are bigger problems at hand and diverse mindsets working together to solve them.

Instead, it ends up bringing minds into silos, as broader personality theory predicts. So the I, I, me, is really more about self-support.

With this view, individuals effectively make relating all about the subjective-them 24/7, and about whether they are good/not good. They see relating with others as "we will each be our best and get what we each want" as if it's a universal creed. The one philosophy that just makes sense. Do others even exist?

And is this actively mean? No. Perhaps a better term is effectively: "passively careless," to borrow a phrase from Sabine Hossenfelder. And even in the subjective-first view it still does not make for a high-quality individual, which is also bad news.

It's unfortunate, because not only does this view raise the stakes on their end with no good reason, creating things like martyrdom issues, but it also perpetuates the avoidance of effective contact with others, effectively making "others" the persistent bête noir.
WeWork at it's core was a bet that 'if we lock in 30-year mortgages at market rates, office rent inflation will mean that in 2045, we will have significant cost advantages.'

You can argue the pandemic merely accelerated remote work, so it was always probably a bad bet.

The process you link to is Indian bureaucracy at its finest. It also focuses on disputes surrounding UPI payments, ie “I paid via UPI and the money didn’t arrive”. Look at the categories of disputes on that page. The “fraudulent transaction” is extremely narrowly scoped to fraudulent use of your UPI account.

But by “dispute resolution”, most people in payments mean commercial disputes — “I paid for a chicken, you sent me an egg” type disputes. Or didn’t send anything at all.

That’s hard to deal with in UPI, last I checked. But I could be wrong! But then — why do all these UPI disputes and scams keep cropping up in newspapers and social media?

Another scenario is dealing with a fraudulent withdrawal (no matter how it happens) by getting a refund with one phone call. The driver for this is that under most consumer-friendly legal systems, the customer gets a near-immediate refund for any unauthorised withdrawal. UPI => no. It’s damned difficult.

To be clear, this isn’t a problem with UPI as a piece of code, UPI moves money from A to B cheaply and quickly. Great. But the governance that is wrapped around it has serious consumer protection problems.

The problems (eg dispute resolution) will be an interesting one to resolve. Despite the bold “not true <link>” parent comment, disputes in UPI are currently a headache. And part of the reason is the narrow scope NPCI can act in.
Regus is doing reasonably well, providing the same services as WeWork. So the time was right, just that WeWork was both, a badly managed shit show, and a well executed money grift (millions forbthe name We paid from WeWork to Neuman and WeWork leasing expensive office space from Neuman). No business succeeds, or survives, under that management. Not that VCs care, as long they can dump their shares at some greater idiot down the line before things implode.
The way to handle the deluge [for data that matters] is with human review.

That was funny to me. I had to raise my spend limit twice and submitting the form results in a message - something like "we will review your request within 24-48 hours". It's a fully(?) manual queue for a company I'm trying to throw money at to use their AI to automate my customer service.

I know that's not their specialty but it made me laugh
> How did New York deal with crime in the late 90s? Not by ignoring it.

Actually, pretty much yes, or at least, that would have been a better strategy than some Giuliani BS.

Crime declined nation wide, and it had nothing to do with any local policies. My favorite theory is that leaded gasoline was causing crime spikes. But there are competing theories, and I think people have concluded that it isn't a single factor.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_New_York_City

Violent crime in NYC dropped precipitously with the “Broken Windows” style of law enforcement during Giuliani’s terms as mayor (1994-2002). The advertised theory was to enforce even small crimes like property owners leaving broken windows unrepaired. Hypothetically, the expectation that laws are being enforced makes people more likely to obey laws at all levels. (jokingly: or maybe people were so busy coming into compliance that they ran out of time for murder.)

There’s obviously debate, criticism, etc., regarding the cause but the theory has been applied to programming among other places with some success.

Its discovery was a complete accident.

Originally the drug’s intended use was lowering blood pressure through nitrous oxide mechanism.

This causes blood vessels to dilate making them wider and reducing pressure.

Fun fact: erections in humans are not caused by blood being pumped into the penis, but rather by a sphincter that inhibits flow of the blood into the penis relaxing, I.e. opening up to allow blood to enter.

This sphincter has a high affinity to this nitrous oxide mechanism.

A serendipitous side effect it seems…

Now, on to the answer to your question…

Prior to Sildenafil, the common recommended treatment was high doses of L-Arganine an amino acid which is available over the counter (which is used in Nitrous Oxide production, another was Amyl Nitrite - Yes the 70s Disco drug (and gay sex favorite) is also a vasodilator that breaks down to NO2 in the blood stream once inhaled - of course the action was fleeting, and there was a distinct possibility of fainting due to oxygen depletion.

So there were treatments prior to Viagra, but they weren’t necessarily efficacious or as long lasting as Viagra.
Sorry, I never read the quote as supporting suicide as a decision. But it's possible that a person contemplating suicide might see it that way.

I always read it as being about empathy. Explaining that sometimes a person's action probably have subjectively valid reasons that we should try to understand, or at least try to accept.

I read the gp comment's quote the same way that's why I shared this one.
I am just guessing here, but internally ChatGPT doesn't see words, it sees numeric tokens which were generated from the text by a tokenizer, right? I don't think it has a way to "see" the letters except by being trained on a corpus that refers to the letters in a word.

Could you please make your substantive points thoughtfully and respectfully? You've been breaking the site guidelines pretty badly in this thread, unfortunately.

On HN, if you know more than others, the thing to do is share correct information from what you know. Then the rest of us can learn something. If you don't want to do that or don't have time, that's ok, but then please just chalk it up to the internet being wrong about everything and let it go. Responding with putdowns or swipes just makes everything worse—especially if you actually do know more, because then the correct view gets associated with bad behavior, which hurts everybody.
