smallerize··on Anthropic's 'Watermark' Text Adulteration in Claude Is a Perversion of Writing
I think Anthropic should have put all the info into one blog post. Splitting it up is really confusing people.
smallerize··on Anthropic's ‘watermark’ text adulteration in Claude is a perversion of writing
Translation: No one can ever again use Claude for proofreading their own prose unless they’re willing to risk that the whole thing might be flagged as having been generated by Claude.

I think that was intended, yes.

Yes, and it says that in https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-text-watermark
smallerize··on Firefox for iOS now has a native adblocker
Easylist does not block those things on any platforms.

I'm not aware of any adblockers that can block the ads on the built-in New Tab page. (You can just disable them in settings anyway.)

smallerize··on The Color of White Light
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation As objects get hotter and start glowing, they start to emit radiation in visible frequencies. Very hot objects keep glowing in the redder parts as they also start to glow in higher bands. Our eyes collect all the various frequencies at different intensities and experience them as one color. The second diagram on the page, with the chromaticity of different temperatures of ideal black-body radiators, shows the color that we perceive as the temperature of the glowing object goes up. The sun is around 5800k, so a little bit in in the yellow-green direction from perfectly balanced color response.

If you want to know why that diagram has its white point where it is, it's based on testing a bunch of people in laboratories. It's fairly predictable and repeatable, but it might not match your experience outdoors.

smallerize··on Nine PBS sues Iron Mountain over blocked access to archival data
Iron Mountain doesn't have it in the PBS station's account, it's in OSS's account. Instead of taking on the liability of deciding whether PBS should really have the data or if they're mistaken or even fraudulent, Iron Mountain is waiting for the court to sort that out.
smallerize··on Nine PBS sues Iron Mountain over blocked access to archival data
Loses "access to" the data. The data is still there, they're just waiting for a court order.
smallerize··on Can I use my Outputs to train an AI model?
The only penalty here is being banned for a ToS violation. Maybe they could sue for fraud or something? That doesn't change who owns the data.
smallerize··on Automatic1111 for Apple metal, 40% speed up sd1.5
The speedup includes running LoRAs, right? Which ones are you using?
smallerize··on $580M undersea cable rerouted to avoid the grave of Dobby the House Elf
I think they were joking. In a literal sense, cities require green spaces for water management. Otherwise you end up like Chicago where they paved everything and flood constantly.

If you're dropping thousands on API tokens, you're going to be slowed down at least 10x trying to do everything on a single MBP.
smallerize··on To recruit teachers, school districts are building homes
You could also cut back on the number of people who own multiple properties.
smallerize··on To recruit teachers, school districts are building homes
You don't have to be anti-union to be anti-teachers-union. I know a guy who worked in private schools for a couple decades, and then couldn't get work in public schools because the union would have required a very high pay rate for someone of his seniority. He said they could hire 3 younger people for the same money. I guess freezing out one old guy and hiring three new ones is an increase in recruiting though, right?
smallerize··on Georgia police officers fired after Flock camera misuse
"The names of the fired employees aren’t being released right now." Somehow even after being fired there is no accountability.

smallerize··on Show HN: DeepSeek-V4 Latent Reasoning – moving "thinking" into latent space
Cool idea. I didn't understand what causes the bad response on the first query. Does it mean the first response in every new conversation, or just the first served response after startup?

At least that's something I can just rant about a couple of times a year, and enjoy tracker blocking the rest of the time.

smallerize··on Born Against, or why hobby programming communities are against LLM usage
Yeah, absolutely. The defense there is "clean room reimplementation ". If anything, the use of an LLM would be stronger than a human doing the copying. (Assuming American jurisdiction!)
