You misunderstand how Claude watermarks things.


TFA is talking about C2PA, a regular signature in the meta data. A lack thereof means nothing, but if it's there, the false positive rate should be near zero.


Most critics of watermarking have no idea how it works. Yet there are valid arguments against (and for) it, but they prefer to be misleading


What are the valid arguments against? Is it about the fact that the output isn’t “optimal”?


Rather, concerns related to user identification combined with copyright issues

I don't believe it, but I still haven't seen any in-depth discussions on these issues


Yes, but I also think it will be trivially by-passable if you pass your output through another LLM. At least for text.

It might help catch students cheating, but not real spam-bot usage. As soon as platforms start checking for watermarks spambots will add anti-watermark passes.


I read through their earlier announcement, i don’t think it’ll be trivially by-passable without distorting the original message.

I would agree it may not help spam-bot usage, however at this case seemingly the only user detection is likely an id/badge check, which is not good.


Imagine telling someone they're wrong without providing any evidence or context.


Welcome to the internet.


I'm red/green colorblind and cannot for the life of me tell the boxes apart


There is a colourblind friendly colour option that you can enable in the site footer


The boxes have (weak) stripes. But screenshots of a webpage are missing all accessibility features, so links to the actual caniuse.com articles would be helpful.

I don't understand how e.g. reddit allows text-as-images when that is discriminatory for people with eyesight issues.


I don't understand how any website allows images when they are discriminatory for people with eyesight issues. /s

You can change the box colors at the bottom of the site :)


I'm on a B&W grayscale e-ink device ... and I feel your pain.



Thank you for linking the NYTimes article.


Very nice, thanks for creating and sharing this.

If I may make a suggestion, can you tweak the layout/design for a better mobile experience?

I can only read the first three or so words about the repos when scrolling through the list.

This is amazing. I love it.


atop creates world readable log files. Does anyone else think this is a security vulnerability?


They have nearly the same information a normal user could get by running atop themselves, which reads the world-readable virtual files found in /proc. If you are using something like selinux to restrict access to /proc files, the same system could be used to restrict access to the /var/log files.


Thank you for sharing this.


Thus is awesome.

Just a heads up - some of the node colors can be difficult to differentiate for people who are red/green colorblind. Very minor, just wanted to mention it though.


Thank you for sharing
