Let's imagine a scenario: There is a state of emergency presidential address. In Video A, the politician says X Y Z. In Video B, the politician says A B C. Both videos have equal credibility. The videos show no artifacts from tampering

I would say, at least it’s not as predatory and unethical as crypto, where the people involved are knowingly harming others. But it seems like the current trendline for “AI” is going to be worse. Why be excited about building tools that wil

All of that multimedia experimentation was a good time. I remember kirupa.com being the destination for tutorials and actionscript snippets, I built dozens of Flash sites. It was also popular for awhile to burn Flash packages to mini CDs, t

I prefer the higher information density of earlier designs. The surface-level styles make them seem old, but structurally, these sites provided a lot more utility. When I hit your homepage, I don't care about the fullscreen photo and b

I wonder how having evidence of fraudulent transactions publicly accessible on the blockchain will affect the investigation time. It seems like once they figure out exactly which addresses to look for, they'll have timestamped fingerpr

I also used Modo from version 101 to 501. Maybe it’s because of baby duck syndrome, but I have never found anything that even comes close to Modo, in terms of ease of use and workflow. You can get the Blender viewport behaviors to match Mod

There aren't technical decisions driving this, they are in the business of advertising. But yeah, pretty much this. We have access to billions of hours of video, but without advanced filter controls, most of it is inaccessible. Same pr

I also migrated a few years ago, after having used Photoshop and Illustrator professionally for a long time. The underlying features are there, but the lack of “flow” is the main source of frustration. A lot of common or frequent actions re
