  • You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the watermarking works. There is no hidden metadata, but most likely, the statistical properties of the generated text are being changed.

    If you met someone on Halloween with a face mask, and they’d always use the word cromulent in every sentence, you’d probably assume it’s your buddy Mark, who is about the only guy in your circle of friends who does that.

    The model will produce a text where individual words at certain positions, or various n-grams encode a kind of fingerprint that will be an indicator for the text being processed by Claude.

    Like, when people have, like, a specific accent or talk in a certain way, you can totally, like, figure out where they’re from, for sure.






  • Re 1: So what? There is plenty of individuals who run their own “community”. Some use it as link aggregator, some seem to collect media they like, one person maintains a gigantic collection of nudes from people they find attractive. Can anyonemeaningfully interact with those? Should they be banned as well?

    Re 2: So what? No community has any obligation to interact with you or value your content. If someone writes me a 56 page love letter and upon opening it, I realize within the first few lines that it’s my toxic ex who wrote it, that thing still goes straight to the trash. That’s my prerogative.

    Re 6: How did you reach that conclusion? I can’t say I do.

    If there are posts violating instance rules etc., report them.

    I’m using Arch btw.




  • Get a cheap laser printer. The toner won’t dry out, and you can get a very reliable printer for cheap. The Xpress series from Samsung was cheap and very reliable. Unfortunately, Samsung does not manufacture printers any more and their printer business was bought by HP. I have no idea how new HP models compare to the old ones.

    I’d probably look at Brother, a monochrome laser printer can be had for $120, and Brother generally has a good reputation. If you want to print in color, that’ll be more expensive of course. Honestly, I haven’t had a color printer in 11 years and I don’t miss it, but YMMV.



  • I gave it a try.

    Impossible to buy a coupon without registration. Registered, then the coupon amount was instead billed to the account I had only registered to be able to gift Tuta to a friend, despite the form saying I was buying a coupon. Support took 3 or 4 days to get back to me with a refund.

    Turns out buying coupons is really only supported by third party sellers (linked nowhere on the site). Oh, and several instructions on the FAQ site were wrong, and notifications in the app did not work properly (on different devices).

    This was 2 or 3 months ago. Overall, it seems more like a startup then what I’d consider a reliable service provider.
