Technology Connections just released a video about this. Those 100 year bulbs (and long lasting ones) used more energy and produced too little light to be useful for a majority of people.

MP4 and MKV are container formats, when you ‘compress’ to a mp4 you’re actually compressing the video file inside of the mkv and changing the container format to mp4.
Yeah once you get the hang of using keywords using search engines become easier, although for the past couple years googles results have been getting worse so we might not have long left before search becomes useless entirely.
“anime transformation blue hair guy to girl” Click on link with image that sorta looks the same
I googled and I think it’s from “Kampfer”?
You can buy any one game separately. The master chief collection is just a bundle of all the halo games. So if you just want to play halo reach just buy halo reach.
Yeah a bit confusing at times but overall very cool and informative, thanks so much!
Interesting I hadn’t thought about how the reduced image size could allow for more data throughput overall. Also great to hear that’s it’s similar or lower processing required. Although I’m not sure what tuned for parallel I/O means? Do they split the data into subgroups so multiple threads can process it at the same time?
Hmm, I haven’t delved into image training in a couple years so I’m assuming they still downscale images anyway, so I’m not sure how much the format helps? Do you know if better compression helps at lower resolution? I could see it helping but I could also seeing it be marginal gains and depending on processing time it might not be worth it to convert whole image sets to jpeg xl. And for performance does jpeg xl require less power/time to decode than other formats? Maybe for new image sets going forward it will be the standard.
It is when you’re a cloud hosting platform and you have 1000’s of photos uploaded daily. That 44k saving scales massively when talking about cloud hosting platforms. The jpeg xl format license is more open than webp which is controlled by google.
The new format also enables more features than just file size, a quick google shows it supports animation, 360 photos, and image bursts (as well as more technical specifics that allow for better share ability without needing to have an accompanying json file or dropping to RAW).
This is more important because it means websites can embed photos and the web engine whether it be chromium, Firefox, or safari can handle it natively without needing JavaScript or some other intermediary.
What about png? It’s just another competing standard. At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter, but by not having competing standards we end up having one company controlling it. So since at the very least it gives a decent file size saving it’s good enough for me.
Yes but usually cheaper/lower quality.
