    We as humans have a lot of intuitive tools for knowing whether a source of data is trustworthy. AI could possibly approach this ability given enough training... we'd need to do som…

    Yes, this is possible, depending on the codec and container. I have done similar operations with h264+mp4. It's good to be able to edit video without losing quality. Are you sure y…

    This article again? In my opinion, this article is biased. The subtext here is that the author is claiming that his "lzip" format is superior. But xz was not chosen "blindly" as th…
