Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority TL;DR OpenAI could be exploring image watermarking for ChatGPT-generated images. Previous leak suggests the watermark might primarily affect free users, with a “save without watermark” option for some. This feature is not yet official and may be subject to change before public release. OpenAI is working on a lot of new features for ChatGPT. We’ve spotted features like Study Together, Image Styles, and even a yearly plan in the works. Continuing the spree,

The Pigeon River Is Perched, Which Is Geologically Bad News (2020)

news.ycombinator.com Philip Prince 2026-02-01 20:31:27

A reader of the Nantahala Gorge post asked a very relevant question: Is there a stream capture in the Appalachians that is going to happen soon? While “soon” can be a very relative term in geology, there is most definitely a good answer to the question. At Canton, North Carolina, the headwaters of Hominy Creek, a French Broad River tributary, are VERY close to capturing the Pigeon River. In human terms, this is still probably a long way off, but it is most certainly geologically “imminent.” The

TCP-in-UDP Solution (eBPF)

news.ycombinator.com Matthieu Baerts 2026-02-02 15:59:08

The MPTCP protocol is complex, mainly to be able to survive on the Internet where middleboxes such as NATs, firewalls, IDS or proxies can modify parts of the TCP packets. Worst case scenario, an MPTCP connection should fallback to “plain” TCP. Today, such fallbacks are rarer than before – probably because MPTCP has been used since 2013 on millions of Apple smartphones worldwide – but they can still exist, e.g. on some mobile networks using Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEPs) where MPTCP connect

The babies were born to mothers who carry genes for mitochondrial diseases and risked passing on severe disorders. In the team’s approach, patients’ eggs are fertilized with sperm, and the DNA-containing nuclei of those cells are transferred into donated fertilized eggs that have had their own nuclei removed.
