I commented it last time the post about Claude watermarking went viral and I'm going to say the same thing again: "I've been working in the media and model IP space for quite many years. What this article misses a bit is the

I've been working in the media and model IP space for quite many years. What this article misses a bit is the threat model for watermarking in general. Watermarking and fingerprinting have inherently weak security guarantees -- they re

It's possible and even likely there's industrial espionage going on. But imo, you don't need that. I've worked in cutting edge industries, and even when you don't know what your competition is doing, there are usual

It's interesting how OpenAI and Anthropic effectively mass dumped a bunch of similar features in the last two days. I wonder what other features they're cooking right now.

Maybe it just shows my lack of tolerance for process/overhead. As a fellow rebase enjoyer, I will do it occasionally for smaller PRs but to me, it becomes unwieldy for large ones. Do you have any tips or aliases that makes it more work

Let's forget that this post is an ad. I feel like there is a use for LLMs that could help us do stacked PRs better. Right now there are effectively three ways to do a PR: - a bunch of small commits, some of them related to the feature,

I was thinking a similar thing when reading the article. Often, the validity of the input depends on the interaction between some of them. Sure, we can follow the advice of creating types that represent only valid states but then we end up

The quality and usefulness of it aside, the primary question is: are they still collecting chats for training data? If so, it limits how comfortable, and sometimes even permitted, people would with working on their yet-to-be-public work usi

I agree that is performant enough for many applications, I work in the field. But it isn't performant enough to run large scale LLM inference with reasonable latency. Especially not when we compare the throughput numbers for a single-t

Interestingly enough, it is possible to do private inference in theory, e.g. via oblivious inference protocols but prohibitively slow in practice. You can also throw a model into a trusted execution environment. But again, too slow.

These are fair points but the weight of their impact is a misconception. Times and times again, lower capital and investment risk aversion are shown to be the limiting factors.

There's a lot of truth and real pain points in the article but others miss the point entirely. Two things that stand out to me in particular: - C "standard" is quite flaky in practice, there are lots of un/underdefined t

I've been camera scanning 4x5 and I'm happy with the results. Take two offset photos and stitch them in post. Mind you, I scan with pixel shift for higher res.

As someone who has a mirrorless scanning setup for my film, and pondered getting a dedicated scanner... the price of this is quite steep given how inflexible of a tool it is. A second hand DSLR setup is going to be roughly the same price or

I don't know if it's still true in the recent versions of Scala (stopped caring in 2018) but it used to have implicit parameters designed specifically for passing context like this. A notable example was passing around an implicit

Anecdata but I also had good experiences reaching out to MEPs, so not all is lost. At its core, the core issue seems to be the lack of accountability between the MEP, and people that voted them in. Few people vote in the EU elections, and e

The issue with many of these tips is that they require you use to claude code (or codex cli, doesn't matter) to spend way more time in it, feed it more info, generate more outputs --> pay more money to the LLM provider. I find LLM-b

Yup, I prefer Lightroom to Capture One, especially for film-related workflows. But I just can't go back to their predatory pricing practices, and the absolute malware of a programme that creative cloud is.

Hmmm, there're no scientific work that really let's you do these things right now. And the repo doesn't cite any work, no associated paper.

I agree with your point that government overreach is more serious. Which is why I want to emphasize that various government police (like FBI) notoriously buy data that they would need a warrant for otherwise. I’m aware that you’re saying it

Might is irrelevant and doesn't prevent any abuse, nor does it foster innovative environment. Both the EU and the US, need to pick a side. Either they should make it illegal and establish precedent, or just let go.

I’ve been working in the space since 2018. Watermarking and fingerprinting (of models themselves and outputs) are useful tools but they have a weak adversary model. Yet, it doesn’t stop companies from making claims like these, and what’s wo
