Yes, I *am* that ESR. Well, it's the question people usually ask. Programmer, wandering philosopher, accidental anthropologist, troublemaker for liberty.

Count source lines of code in a project; also, optionally, provide a brief description and references for every language identified.

Here's how this will work if the Democrats retake the house: There will be a big push for AI regulations that lock out open-weight and open-source AI models. The lie that will be told is that they're legislating for "safety". The reality will be massive amounts of money flowing

This is completely idiotic. About 5 minutes after the watermark detector ships, the detection algorithm is going to leak. About 10 minutes after that, somebody will put a de-watermarker on github. Smooth move, Anthropic. Not just trying to screw your customers over yet again,

Claude gonna start snitching on Tuesday. Anthropic just emailed customers. Starting Nov 3, text carries an invisible watermark. You can't see it. It survives copy and paste, and it can survive some editing. Only regulators, journalists, fact-checkers and researchers can check
