That makes no sense. Watermarking only became a thing in the past month. Claude has been spewing unreadable slop for much longer than that.

ChatGpt/Codex is nowhere near the level of sloppy vomit that Claude generates, so that theory doesnt really hold up.

Claude writing quality got unbelievably bad with Opus 4.7, with no improvement in Fable. Opus 4.6 was fine. Im starting to see it as a security risk - my brain just can't process its word vomit, so just tell it to go on, implement what

You can tell Opus 5 or Fable to route answers through 4.6 for rewrite

Telling Opus 5 or Fable to route answers through Opus 4.6 usually works pretty well. 4.7 really was the version where the writing style became horrible. I also have a Codex subscription in addition to to Claude 20x, that i use mainly for re

F80 would have been the perfect autofocus film camera if only it could meter and stop down manual lenses. F100 is just too heavy

Want the best software for editing photos? No thanks, I'd rather use inferior open source solutions. Go Gimp

I have added a skill to make Opus 4.8 use Opus 4 6 to translate its answers into teadable English, sine it had much higher quality prose. Im seriously considering switching from Claude 20x to Codex because I just cant read more of of Opus o

A lot of bitching about Microsoft here, for something Claude has been doing forever. I have a git hook that rejects any commit containing the line Co-authored by Claude

Blender's limited support for the Universal Scene Description format is an immediate showstopper for most medium size to large studios.

There are far less working VistaVision cameras than 70mm. It wasnt used at all, or just for shooting vfx, for 50 years until recently

Yeah, i use online LightRoom for checking images in the darkroom actually, but for serious use, the old desktop app is still king. There are alternatives, like the excellent Capture One, but none available on Linux. I could live without Pho

Would have switched years ago if it wasn't for Adobe. Open source equivalents to Photoshop and Lightroom are NOT viable alternatives

"It has rendered Maya nearly obsolete" Wow, that is great news. I guess its support for Pixar USD is equal to Maya and Houdini then, so all the big studios can finally switch

Gimp is NOT a good image editor for someone who uses Photoshop professionally. This idiotic claim keeps coming up, year after year, along with suggestions for opensource replacements for InDesign, Illustrator, LightRoom - there really reall

Except if you mount an old, so called pre AI lens, on certain Nikons, you will have to disassemble the camera to get it off. Many modern Nikons can't autofocus older AF lenses due to not having a motor. And many AF film SLRs couldnt me

"A bunch of movies" you say. If you want to talk insane ambition and vision, technically groundbreaking and giant scale filmmaking that was so far ahead of its time it took decades to be recognised, Abel Gance's 1927 Napoleon

Nikon d850, their top model and one of the best slr's ever made came out in 2017. My most used digital camera is a Canon 5d from 2005, I prefer it over my much newer Fuji XT3 most of the time because of its colors. (And one of my most
