jxl-rs (rust) is just a decoder while libjxl (C++) can also encode.

There is a rust encoder in active developing by someone outside the core JPEG XL devs.

> less productive cars

How does enforcing emissions regulations result in less productive cars?

Cars move about 1.5 people per trip on average. A big pickup or SUV is not any more productive doing this task than a mid sized car.

Git-ish CLI is great. The GUI is more important though. Non-programmers don't want to dabble with CLI. One reason why Perforce is the defacto standard IMO. The GUI covers 99% of daily used operations and is easy to use.

Apparently his net worth peaked at a billion dollars. And he only got 4 years. By the time a pardon would be arranged, he'd almost be out again.

SBF has more than 20 years left.

Claude Code is not the majority of AI usage.

People asking any AI chat interface for ideas for their honeymoon will trigger some kind of search. SEO is still relevant and Google might still be able to sell top spots in their search so LLMs will pick it up.

The Luce seats 5 and has a trunk.

The Rimac Nevera is a different car category. Ferrari just decided to not make this a 2 seat hypercar.

This is the daily driver Ferrari for a small family, similar to the Porsche Cayenne or Panamera.

Good luck getting a launch and landing pad anywhere close to a population centre.

Logistics around the flight would be a big asterisk behind the flight time.

Simple piraciy is not even the worst possible outcome.

Without copyright, nothing stops one from simply selling a book under their own name.

Big publishers could just reprint anything and get it into brick & mortar stores. No money for authors.

Advocating for absolutely no copyright is wild.

The bun team must love all the people pointing out errors. That's how they get a free, crowd sourced code review of their million lines.

I use an European made computer from Schenker (their XMG subbrand actually).

Of course the components are not European made. But Dell's components are not US made either.

I can also buy a Japanese or Korean (or Chinese) computer. There is no dependency on a single country.

The engineer who identified 500k in savings is a great candidate I'd say. But solving a problem requires a problem to be there in the first place.

Do you apply the same scrutiny to the food you eat?

Some trust has to be created through testing standards and the law, but generally we do believe what the label says in day to day life.

They are not even in the same ballpark size wise

But or course you are correct this is not only about American cars. Europeans can build big cars as well.

Cars are taxed by engine displacement in Germany. It's rather low compared to insurance and gas cost though. Indirectly larger cars are taxed through high gas tax.
