iPhones have supported it for 3 years.

Yes, but a lossless encode of a lossy copy of an image results in a lossy image functionally.

The US very much has been trying to get Ukraine to surrender to Russia since Trump was elected. Quite nothing would seemingly please Trump more than Ukrainians rolling over and clearing the way to a fat kickback from Russia.

Strange blog post. Given that it's from a developer of proprietary and paid commercial encoders, the inclusion of their upcoming "aperture-alpha" encoder on the charts that are purportedly about JPEG XL makes this feel like a marketing piece of some fashion. Certainly, they advertise their Iris-WebP encoder throughout the post, with an implication that if you haven't paid to the author for it, you're not using WebP correctly, I guess?

Moreover, there are some methodological oddities. For example, JPEG XL decoding is tested in single-threaded mode when it's optimized for multi-threaded decoding (where AVIF has artifacts from tiling). Also, the tested command is "jxl_cli --speedtest", which means that the benchmarked time includes the warm-up procedure of the "--speedtest" flag, rather than the pure decoding time.

Another example of this is progressive rendering, where the comparison moment is chosen at a local maximum that favors AVIF. JPEG XL materializes a full frame much sooner than AVIF, and starting at, say, the 96,256 B mark, it looks better than AVIF until the full image is loaded.

Yes, that's essentially the only practical reason.

Self-hosted Gitea is a good time if you're comfortable taking care of backups and other self-hosting stuff.

There are two Graphite companies. The time series DB for metrics (not this) and the stacked diff code review platform (this). Looking at other comments under the post, they seem to have executed a hard AI pivot recently.

For real. I consider myself to be “into Python typing,” and yet I had no knowledge of Zuban before the parent comment and a very faint memory of Jedi.

I mean, that is what the term implies.

OpenAI is BYOK-only on OpenRouter, which artificially depresses its utilization there.

It is exactly that

To be fair, you do get enums and pattern matching from base language.

4o on ChatGPT.com vs. Opus in an IDE is like cooking food without kitchen tools vs. using them. 4o is neither a coding-optimized model nor a reasoning model in general.

I did work for a Russian financial multinational just before COVID-19, as a native Russian speaker, and it was a free-for-all mess interally. The IT side had a load-bearing, old-school sysadmin type with a personality for heroics.

Aider has been doing that for a long time now, it was the first project to do this afaik.
