Scientists hid secret codes in light to combat video fakes

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-01 09:45:56

It's easier than ever to manipulate video footage to deceive the viewer and increasingly difficult for fact checkers to detect such manipulations. Cornell University scientists developed a new weapon in this ongoing arms race: software that codes a "watermark" into light fluctuations, which in turn can reveal when the footage has been tampered with. The researchers presented the breakthrough over the weekend at SIGGRAPH 2025 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and published a scientific paper in Jun

A Global Look at Teletext

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-01 16:01:23

Brief explanation Teletext is a weird technology. Although often ridiculed as completely archaic, it’s very popular in many countries still today. It seems like the public broadcasters in Europe just can’t get people to stop using it, no matter what new services they provide. You most likely know teletext in the British version, with blocky text graphics in few colours, that came intertwined with the analogue TV-signal. This is called World System Teletext. But that was only the beginning. T

Domestically, its $42.5 million take was $10 million ahead of projections, and its overall take marks another win for New Line and parent company Warner Bros.

Nathan Drescher / Android Authority YouTube has been a part of my life since its early days in the late 00s. It’s no secret that today’s YouTube is a far cry from what it used to be. YouTube was free back then; free from subscriptions, free from ads, even free from terrible video suggestions. It was raw and real. Now when we open the app we’re bombarded with pop-ups and ads and the algorithm is awful at surfacing stuff we want to watch. So like many of you, I went searching for a replacement.
