There are misconceptions about UPI all right, but a lot of it is from UPI proponents who have no idea what dispute resolution means.

Order a bed and pay via UPI, say. Get a chair instead. These type of commercial disputes are difficult for a payments service to adjudicate.

When you use the term “falsehoods”, keep in mind that a lot of these criticisms come from people who’ve worked in payments for decades, and know a fair bit about customer protection.

If we’re going to talk about falsehoods, we should also talk about the falsehoods UPI proponents share about card payments.

And to be clear, my focus is customer protection. I don’t give a flying fish about the mechanism.
Because language models don't work as you might expect. It might be a simple task for deterministic algorithm, not so much for language based inference model. There are no hard coded rules for specific requests
That's rather out of place with the rest of the thread then. The wealthy are personally unaffected by employment rates because they never have to compete in the labor market.

I think the overall point is that while this was purposeful, the cleanliness standards mean that this has likely already occurred accidentally.
How's that chlorinated chicken tasting these days?
I personally know people who have been dirty for decades. A friend of mine "inherited" the stewardship of one such person and he was a miserable bastard until he died of cancer and the only people who knew him regretted that it didn't progress faster. He was a drag on the few people willing to associate with him (neither his mother or daughter among them) both emotionally and financially. I myself helped clean up the disgusting mass of cigarette tar filled beer cans he left in my friend's house after he passed.

So your mileage may vary I suppose. And that's about all I'll say on the matter.
It cannot count and does not know what numbers are.

It is a private press release by a company on its own site, advertising same services touted in the release. I assume every truth that can be bent in their favor has been done so by the PR and Marketing teams. However, the youtube video above with the interview seems much more unequivocal.
I think it's a first from a platform cybersecurity hacking perspective. Somewhat similar actions were done but not at this level

There are always going to be limitations to extension-based approaches but Firefox with tridactyl is most of the way there capability-wise IMO (https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl). I use that plus tree-style tabs and find it excellent. There's always some extensibility limitations that break the integration though, like extensions getting disabled on mozilla domains.

I love projects like nyxt and respect their priorities, but without big-player extension support it's usually a no-go for me. Still, I'll be interested to see the ideas they develop trickle out into the rest of the power-browser ecosystem. I especially like that lossless tree history – history management is a very under-explored UX area IMO
what is the „multimedia“ industry, and does it run along the data highway?
I think you also overestimate the formality in CPU design. Yes they do a lot of testing, but it's not lik an airtight mathematical document for the whole chip.
The digital payments infrastructure in India has done more to bring more people into the banking system than what was possible earlier.

It is pervasive, ubiquitous and very user friendly.

This is all thanks to the mobile data revolution ushered in by the telecoms companies in India over the last decade and a half.

Yes, data privacy is a larger issue that needs to be addressed in India, but that is no different than other digital payment methods like credit/debit cards.

One less mentioned point is that this payments revolution has done a lot to cut the country's carbon-footprint in the form of driving to the ATM or bank to get cash for routine transactions. Also, UPI is extremely consumer-friendly. If you withdrew cash from another bank's ATM, you may be charged fees whereas UPI is free for transactions up to INR 100,000 (approx $1200 USD)/day. This covers almost all day-to-day transaction needs for people.

I can choose a third-party fintech company's UPI app (eg: PayTM, PhonePe etc.,) or my bank's UPI app. So, it is incredibly flexible.
Ignore race. Should amazon drivers be fired for not peeing in jugs, aka using a public restroom, to follow AI planned routes? What about Pepsi drivers taking unsanctioned 5 min breaks because they have a pounding headache? How about having all your activities monitored as you cross the street so ads target your cellphone with low quality food to increase revenue but leading to worse health and inevitably keeping your poor? Should land lords be allowed to catch people spitting in the hallway, sure, but there's a lot more real problems associated with this kind of technology that has and will continue to increase wealth inequality. If you really think about it... It's almost the perfect tool for it.
Does it handle ical? It would be super useful if it does (versus having a whole bunch of unsynched calendars around).
On the lower end, if you know doing common activity X (say possession) will get you a punishment as severe as more impactful crime Y (breaking and entering), what difference does it make?

On the upper end, if you have no priors and your career and family will be blown up because you want to do a political favor for someone that results in destroying the public trust, it probably does matter.

Due to life events, I started looking for a new office for our team last week. I had always considered WeWork to be too hip for my taste. So when a colleague suggested it, I thought they were joking.

But they weren't and it actually wasn't a bad idea. Good location, nice interior, "flexible" plans.

What I found thought is that buying these flexible plans is very clunky. For example, I wanted to try things out at first by getting hot desks for 5 people for a day. Installed their app and realized that I can book for only myself. Their support said that every employee must download the app and purchase their own hot desk.

This is extremely stupid! I am not going to ask the team to pay for their office and then reimburse them. The best solution I have is to make 5 accounts on the phones that I have access to.

So here I am with a service of theirs that I want to get, but they don't care enough to sell it to me.
ChatGPT Therapy Is Good, but It Misses What Makes Us Human
and what is a news about this ? 99.99999999% of satellites are vulnerable to attacks doable by middleschool teenagers.

msot of traffic between satellite and earth is unencrypted ( RC4 like encryption is not encryption ), there are hundreds satellite listening stations all over the world.

for example "Abhörstation Königswarte" can listen to african presidents talking over satelite phones.

snowden leaks provided some info about collections thru these kind of stations. ( NOTHING in snowden leaks, showed to public, was unknown / not already opensource )
> retaining lots of disconnected facts has never really been something I've needed to solve for.

At in regards to Anki usage, the “disconnected facts” seem to be something that only students (high school/college) or people new to Anki do. These people are very much using Anki for a short term goal like passing a test or class. For that use case, “disconnected facts” works just fine.

The people who use Anki (long term) outside of school and outside of 2nd language learning usually have much more connected webs of cards. While the individual cards are usually atomic, they might have a dozen or more cards all attacking a concept from different angles. Also in this usecase it seems just the act of formulating the questions is the biggest part of the learning. The reviewing part is almost secondary.
Weird response.

I'm not a conspiracy nut, but that headline is exactly factual.
My guess is that the question translated to a medium/strong penalization for the word "the" and that's why it did so well at first, but as it generated more and more this original penalization got diluted by the new probabilities of the decoder (as "the" would have a high generation probability for obvious reasons). And since the decoder is greedy, it eventually wrote itself into a corner where "the" overcome whichever penalty the original prompt set.
I have wondered this as well.

I also wonder how sometimes when pointed to math fails, it proceeds to get the correct answer. Typically with simple division that results in many decimals with specific rounding instructions. It will get it very wrong, be prompted that it was wrong, then spit out the correct answer but often with the incorrect amount of decimals.

Specifically problems like 7438.474782382 / 43.577874722

Getting it right is the weird part for me.

They do if the jobs pay enough to live. There are a lot more classes of young people than recent grads from big universities. See Amazon warehouse and airports.

It’s fun to read your comments.
Pretty sure they are a year and a half late. By all means, do keep giving high-value government contracts to these corporations. That way we all know how serious you are with these "reports" on harm to consumers.
If UPI competed with cash, that’d be sort of fine.

The problem is that UPI enthusiasts think it’s a perfect replacement for cards. It’s not.

Even with cash, because you need physical presence, you can inspect the goods. Under many UPI scenarios, that doesn’t happen.

So a “and cash does?” comment sounds like a clever zinger, but in reality cash and UPI have different threat models.

Equally, UPI is a useful alternative to cash and cards. The real world isn’t black and white. It’s not like UPI has zero value. But it’s not like cash and cards has zero value either.

Finally, one scenario where cash > UPI is: anytime there’s an internet shutdown. Of which India has an insane number.
And yet ... it's factual.
You can’t imprison people for constitutionally protected speech. The citizenry has to reject these people and reject the anti-intellectualism ethos they and their supporters inhabit.
If anything I think that LLMs are making the Semantic Web realizable in a new way. LLM can summarize the raw content down to a schematized representation, that you can then reference to express deterministic programmatic actions using the resulting properties. You still might want to do that rather than let the LLM do everything.
Could be an autobiography.
so threat model for satellites is not what we thought.( as a public hollywood goers ). and even if satellite is "hardened" is hardened by obfuscation rather then technological mechanism ( even if it had technological anything in it, which they dont. most satellites are older then 20 years, anyway.... )
“Write a sentence that contains only 5-letter words. Avoid other words at all costs.”

Now it’s always correct. Prompt engineering™
If you're pulling in 400k USD per year, it actually doesn't matter what the cost of living is. You tie up 40% of your income in a 1-2 million dollar house and still save $50-$100k a year while buying everything you want on a daily basis, then retire after 20 years and live like a king

Havent read the whole thing, but the first 2 show a lack of experience w "prompt engineering". To get it to write a conversation, either lead it in:

> Donald Knuth: So, Steve, what do you think about ChatGPT?

Steven Wolfram:

or be direct and specific:

> Simulate a conversation between SW and DK about ChatGPT.

Neither will get a good response though. ChatGPT very much struggles with tone and natural dialogue. The answers will weave in facts about the two, but not capture their perspective or tone very well.
How is "illegal" and "no longer considered legal tender" different?

Regardless of the intentions, I don't see how banning people from using currency notes that they legally owned is not dictatorial. Why is using cash deemed guilty before even having any evidence.
Do you think the widespread inability to enforce mask mandates might have lessened peoples' likelihood to obey laws at all levels? Seems a bit analogous to broken windows, no? And timely.

It’s much worse. A webpage that is presented as the result of a user input has a certain context, an embedded assumption/understanding that an inappropriate result could be the result of a malformed query. Put another way: Google is saying “here is what I found on the web.” ChatGPT is saying “this is the answer to your question” and refuses to cite any but the vaguest of sources, like a solar calculator, not even a particular one.

The danger is in the framing.

Following this suggestion, I finally understood the two alignments needed to read this clock. I think this is a very neat idea.

Then, I stood back far away from my monitor and adjusted the hour and minute fields, and found that it was very difficult to discern the hour and minute alignments, even after increasing the minute marker thickness. I am afraid this mechanism might not be quite practical for people with poor eyesights.

Or maybe there is another way to show off the alignment better? Perhaps if the rings were lenticular and could magnify the aligned lines?

On the other hand, I've noticed that the reluctance to meditate is a symptom of restlessness, and I usually feel better after not-so-eagerly meditating. But of course it's important to notice and disidentify from the reluctance, the restlessness, the desire to not be restless, etc.

Even so, the extent to which living in the US is possible without various documents, and the lack of a unified national ID, makes the US a much milder environment in this regard than most of Europe. Yes, even healthcare: if you show some employment or other income, they will agree to ignore the absence of an SSN, for instance.
Obviously in context I'm talking about "human content", such as we are creating here.

"If you're happier with a unique personalized reddit"

There is an element of deception there. If I think I'm interacting with real humans, I want to be interacting with real humans, not bots. And nobody but nobody will just generously spend the money to do that, and then leave me a perfect simulation of a human space. They're going to have some ulterior motive and it will not be in my best interests.

I will agree that a shocking-to-me number of people are not bothered by this prospect. Perhaps you are one of them who would not mind. You do you, as the saying goes. I am bothered about being deceived. Truth matters to me and I have no interest in being comprehensively lied to like that.
This paragraph, towards the very end of the article, represents what terrifies me the most I think. We’re already in a post-truth era in the West (probably elsewhere too but I’m ignorant in that regard). Will people learn to verify sources? Sources say no…

> I find it fascinating that novelists galore have written for decades about scenarios that might occur after a "singularity" in which superintelligent machines exist.

He could have ODed on opium from the dark web. He could have networked with other suicidal people to find a humane way to kill himself (or be killed).

In countries which legalize euthanasia it becomes easier to do it for more reasons.

Miswrote: I don't yo-yo 50lb normally. Only once during the pandemic gained that much and I was purposely eating like shit bc I was angry with the lockdown situation and had nothing else to do. Just used that as an example that if I actually just eat as much as I want (like eat till I'm full-full 3x a day) with no control, I'd be 50lb heavier. But 95% of my adult life post college (9+ years), I hover around the same weight.

I guess I understand what you mean that you'd think that every skinny person must actually be full after eating and that's why they're like that, but everyone I know who is in shape (like really in shape, either ex college athlete or lives the gym life now and would be considered top 5% of the population), they absolutely do not feel full every meal/day. I mean talking about planning cheat meals and fantasizing about certain foods is super common in the fitness lifestyle.

I've met maybe 3 people in my entire life who have what you're describing: they truly don't care about food and can forget to eat meals if distracted. All the others have some form of habit/routine and wish they could eat more and stay lean.

I'm not discounting that some people really struggle with eating habits and literally cannot stop thinking to eat more (I have family members like that) but I do heavily disagree that 'normal' people are always full quickly and that's why they are 'normal' weight.

If it was a simple normal/not normal appetite wiring then why do most major cities contain way more skinny people and places like Mississippi are almost 50% obese? Or the fact that obesity was pretty rare 100 years ago. I think there's a lot more going on than just 'normal people get full quicker'.

What I don’t like about chains of toughts and why language is a bottleneck
I am looking not just at the now, but given the long history of failure of the Semantic Web, the next 10-20 years as well. It is fair in this context.

But otherwise, yes, I would agree with you, the LLM-based AIs that we have right this very second don't "do" the Semantic Web. But we're clearly much closer on that front than by asking Facebook to pretty please grease up everything in pristine RDF files, let alone the entire web.

You can still figure out who spit on something without a dragnet of ai and facial recognition being applied to every resident. That way you don’t have to hassle a blind lady to formally explain why someone bringing her groceries is using her key fob.
