I don't understand. How can this prevent someone from feeding an AI generated image to a "zero-knowledge-proof-whatever" hardware/software module to create a so-called self-proclaimed "verified" real image? Thi

Even if Seoul is serious about this, considering the locations of the two countries, it seems incredibly difficult and inefficient to ship weapons from South Korea to Ukraine.

As there is only one bottle of this wine in the world, I think what matters is the dose but not concentration of Pb. In addition, the 0.14 mg/L figure reported in the paper is at a similar level to the current safety standard. The Inte

MSE is sometimes perceived as hostile to beginners because it often closes off newbie questions that lack context or are thought to be of low quality. MO is not suffering from this because almost all such questions are migrated to MSE. In t

The news headline is inaccurate. The message was not a hoax. It was a joke. No deception was involved. The recipients of the message are in fact the man’s friends who boarded the same plane with him.

Does this mean when the Airbus landed, there was a Coast Guard plane on the runway? Seems like the ground control had made a serious mistake.

I may be wrong but this seems inaccurate. In WWII, the cryptanalysis of the Enigma ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptanalysis_of_the_Enigma ) was related not to number theory, but to group theory. Number theory became

I don’t know, but according to the following Library of Congress articles, the film camera was not invented by Edison, but by his assistant William Kennedy Laurie Dickson. The camera apparently was very bulky. I doubt that a bossy person li

Unlike what the title of this HN thread suggests, according to the two descriptions on the YouTube page and in the video clip, there is no indication that the film was shot by Edison himself, although it was shot using Thomas Edison’s Kinet

Great news. It seems there is still much room for improvement, though. E.g. in “A Short History of the World” by H. G. Wells, the AI reads Darius I and Charles V as “Darius Eye” and “Charles Vee”. Open and closed brackets in sentences are n
