I'm not sure if publishers could get enough from Brave Payments to make it worth it. Brave also blocks ads so they aren't exactly in the publishers' good graces. Some publishers would rather block Brave than try to work out a deal to accept cryptocurrency.
Well, or at the end of my comment:

> If the middleman doesn't want to, each individual publication can still just tally up your totals and then bill you each month.

It seems like a really easy middle ground is to just allow pay-per-article views on mobile, which already have batched microtransactions built in. But even that isn't a thing.

I suspect it isn't just a technical/billing issue, but a lack of willingness to pay the desired prices...
The other day I was listening to recorded live music on Internet Archive. One of the bands sounded like a lot of fun, so I looked them up online. And what do you know, they're touring and coming to my relatively small town in January. Bought two tickets for 70 bucks from the local venue so we could enjoy some live music. Maybe buy some T-shirts or CDs.

So well done, giving your live music away for free. Made you some money, and made me feel like we were doing it right for a change.
This is very cool! I built a similar tool for a project with the need for two-way data syncing between Salesforce and MySQL via Laravel.

Salesforce objects map quite nicely onto Laravel’s Eloquent models (and booleans work fine! ref @ianyanusko in a sibling thread)

On the Salesforce side we use triggers to send a summary of field changes to Laravel to apply to its MySQL database. These are very cheap in terms of Salesforce limits and consumption!

Changes originating from the Laravel side use Salesforce’s REST API. It’s handy taking the round trip through Salesforce when saving changes as it lets flows/processes run and formulas to do their thing before data is persisted in MySQL.

Syncing data from Salesforce (to seed a database for example) is done via REST too. It works OK.

I considered productising it at one point, but ideas are a dime a dozen, it’s a lot harder to execute well and Bracket is doing exactly that, kudos!

This has been a thoroughly interesting post, and I’ll keep my eye on Bracket. You are however out of budget for my client, we had to achieve syncing on a shoestring ;)

I dont have a specific ansewr but https://malleable.systems/ are the best doers and purveyors of those ahead of their time.

Software has kept iterating towards local maxima where the geeks do more and more and everyone else sees knows and does less and less. Computing is a rocket sled, but the whole world has gotten bigger and bigger and more ridiculous training wheels at every step. We are well served by data-keeps of loving grace, keeping us satisfied, while letting us know & understand nothing.

At some point, I think the general project of computing will come back about. We'll build more interesting environments for multiple systems of code and machines to run in. We'll have systems that users can shape, control, fork/clone, snapshot, inspect, observe. Port-based ideas like Node-RED but bigger and bolder. User-centric general-systems research will happen again, we'll tilt away from cloudy-mainframes, and back to a personal computing with actual people at the helm of their experiences again. And the Malleable Systems Collective are the people tracking this Engelbartian desire to Augment Intellect, to have a close loop of people and machines amplifying each other directly, not just being pandered down to by far off shitty services and alien intelligences.
I was born in Iraq where the Jewish community there was ethnically cleansed.

Way before the foundation of Israel, my father and uncles were restricted in numerous ways because of their Jewish ancestry. For example there were quotas on the number of Jews allowed in universities.

Jews were frequently imprisoned there (including my father and his brothers) for the sole reason of being Jewish.
In the example of Apple Calendar, creation is arguably the "dangerous" event even if it's not destructive, so one might argue that what Apple is currently doing on Apple Calendar (cancel destroys the event) is compliant with the spirit of their HIG. I'd use the same argument of creation-is-dangerous for the alarm app, which also has a non-scary cancel button that destroys the input.

Then we go to something like Apple Notes where even the slightest bit of data is auto-saved without asking.

I'm not sure about whisper, but find YT subtitles pretty poor.

I also turn on subtitles in case I miss a word due to the speed, and find it very random at times.
Your point about Roe v Wade is precisely my point. The right to abortion is simply not in the Constitution. If Congress wants to pass that law, they may, and that would be legal according to the Supreme Court. Any honest legal scholar will tell you that Roe v Wade is a ridiculous Supreme Court decision, simply because it is sua sponte law.

The current court is not violating separation of power by overturning older laws. Your point about the court only overturning vague laws is completely false. The court exists as a check on Congress and the executive to hold them accountable to the texts which charter them. It is designed this way because overturning laws is far less harmful than upholding them. Government should do less, not more, and that is in our DNA as a country. The Supreme Court is acting as designed.

The idea that only these 2 companies can provide a platform for secure apps is patently absurd. What's stopping another company other than these companies' stranglehold?

To reframe the discussion a bit: LLMs are time series predictors. You give it a sequence and it predicts the next part of the sequence.

As a society we've been dedicating a lot of resources to time series prediction for many years.

What makes LLMs culturally significant is that they generate sequences that map to words that seem to humans like intelligent responses.

Arguably, it has always been obvious that a sufficiently capable time series predictor would effectively be a super-weapon.

Many technological advances that are currently in the realm of sci-fi could be classified similarly.

However so could many technologies that are now widespread and largely harmless to the status quo.

People worried that the internet would create massive social upheaval. But soon got algorithmic feeds which effectively filter out antisocial content. The masses got mobile phones with cameras, but after a few scandals about police brutality the only place we find significant content about police misconduct is CCP-afiliated TikTok.

I think people get squeamish about AI because there are not clear authority structures other than what one can buy with a lot of A100s. So when people express concern about negative consequences, they are in effect asking whether we need yet another way that people can convert money + public resources into power while not contributing anything to society in return.

GPT-3: 174B parameters.
Phi-2: 2.7B parameters.

Indeed, parameter-wise that is small, 65 times smaller. However...

GPT-3: trained with 300B tokens.
Phi-2: trained with 1400B tokens.

The volume of training data, on the other hand, is around 5 times larger.

For curiosity, just the other day I calculated that a human baby learns a language with around 30M "token-equivalents" of learning data. This sounds, to me, a reasonable argument for innatism, that is, human "architecture" is biologically geared for language acquisition and contains some strong "guides" or constraints that reduce the hypothesis space of "possible human languages". I wonder if language models are able to find similar architectures that would allow learning with less data.

You shouldn't make up completely wrong claims to use as an analogy. The US grid doesn't run at either 110V or 220V, it's much higher. The 50/60Hz thing doesn't make any sense as an analogy either, because there's no significant advantage to either, it's just arbitrary.

You really should just delete your comment if you can't come up with a decent analogy, or edit it to eliminate the analogy that makes no sense whatsoever and makes me completely ignore whatever point you were trying to make. Maybe it's OK for some non-technical audience where they have no idea how electricity works, but this is supposed to be a technical crowd, isn't it? Or is it? Sometimes I wonder.

Maybe the internet did cause massive social upheaval. It just looks a lot more boring in reality than imagined. I get the feeling the most advanced LLMs won't be much different. In the future maybe that's just what we will call computers and life will go on.
Keeping id generation inside the app is useful, you can batch multiple statements (e.g. insert product, insert product details in a single query, or other sorts of dependencies). You don't have to wait for first insertion to finish to get the id of the record, for example.

So as a content creator, I can give you some insights into why this is. Keep in mind this will change eventually, and doesn't apply to every creator.

Simply put: if I make a video that's eight (8) minutes long, or longer, I can change where the mid-roll advertisement is placed. If it's less, I cannot. I also get less adverts the shorter the video is. If it's ten (10) minutes or longer, I get more and more adverts.

That's why when my wife and I watched a video about how a certain food stuff was made (I think it was a type of pasta), they made it 10m 30s long and used b-roll footage of pasta moving along a conveyor belt for 2-3 f-ing minutes.

What's expected and what actually happens are totally different things. How many times have we heard "comet of the year/decade" only for it to barely even survive the approach?

A 1 minute exposure is different than highly processed video. It is definitely artificial compared to naked eye viewing due to amount of photons captured. To see it dimming over the course of 3 seconds that matches the differences seen in the long minute exposure, I doubt the average person would see it in a video, but I could be wrong. Reading about this event in the run up to it occurring, I came to the same conclusion that I would try a long exposure the same way using the equipment that I have. At least, until I realized I wasn't in the path.

The amount of information that can be captured with a 1 minute exposure is totally different from a video camera running at 24-50fps. It's just one of those things that becomes better understood with experience. People want to see things moving in realtime as video, but space doesn't bother itself with your wants. Best to just do what needs to be done to get the most information possible when you're available to get it.
Yeah, Windows is a million times worse and more confusing in this regard. My favorite is even if you're using an external USB mic which allows you to use the "Stereo" profile on the headphones, until Windows somehow hijacks the audio with a Teams or Outlook notification and mutes all of the audio that actually matters until you clear the notification.
> It seems like a really easy middle ground is to just allow pay-per-article views on mobile, which already have batched microtransactions built in. But even that isn't a thing.

That would require users to install an app in order to take advantage of IAP (which then means losing 30% of the revenue to Apple or Google). People aren't going to install an app just to view (and pay for) articles on whatever blog-host the writer is using.

It is the fate of any (and every) "Viewer app" to turn into a web-browser, and a sub-par one at that.
Wait, so they're saying CarPlay and Android Auto are buggy on their cars, most likely because of their errors in getting the mirroring part right, so instead of fixing the issues, they think switching to their in-house system that they will design from scratch, that'll probably have hundreds of bugs, that's most likely gonna suck, is a better option?

They could've just said we're out of excuses we just want to make money on infotainment system lol.

> I'm not saying Israel is blameless. But you must recall Bibi was literally elected...

Agree, and his 2 decades led to apartheid, continued violation of Oslo, and flirting dangerously with the Temple Mount status quo... culminating in 7 Oct. Which is why I pointed out it was wrong to call out Pals as unreasonable and irrational (a typical stereotype, co-opted by the IDF https://archive.is/P4PyJ) when the fault is with both the sides.

(The Jordanian King shouldn't have endorsed Bibi at the time he did, which apparently tipped polls in his favour against Peres)

> asserting that their method for achieving those goals... I'm telling them to pick their battles and not take losing fights

True. The reason why Israeli far-right loves propping up Hamas. The extremists on the either side feed on each other. Remains to be seen what comes after the current situation. Sincerely hope 67 borders and it is done. Have a feeling West Bank and E Jerusalem settlers and their billionaire American donors won't like it.
