It's crucial to distinguish JPEG the file format (now retronymed as JPEG 1) and JPEG the standardization group.

JPEG XL is officially blessed by JPEG but otherwise irrelvant here, even though non-progressive JPEG 1 files can be losslessly recompssed into JPEG XL by its design. The main role of JPEG here was to specify explicit goals for JPEG XL proposals [1]. Interestingly enough, the JPEG 1 recompression was not a part of that call for proposals back then. JPEG XL is otherwise a completely different format with much better compression algorithms, so should be the image format for pretty much all uses once popularized.

Ultra HDR [2] is an extension to the JPEG 1 format, which depends on XMP and the CIPA Multi-Picture Format. This kind of extension was not the first, even JPEG the group itself had a similar extension called JPEG XT which was never popular! (If you don't know much about JPEG, APNG was a similarly designed extension to PNG which eventually became a part of PNG.) Naturally Ultra HDR files cannot be smaller than ordinary JPEG 1 files, so can't fulfill Samsung's needs.

I spent 10 years in jail. For a large part of that I socialized mainly with those who had committed murder. Some had committed more than one.

Most of the murderers I met are some of the nicest people I ever met (if you can temporarily disregard their crime). People are not defined by their worst mistake.

I am in very regular contact with many of them as they work their way through the system. Some of them have life sentences without parole, which is a hard pill to swallow.

Went in fairly sceptical, as the opening gambit concerns underage drinking, which as a Brit, I view as a minor peccadillo.

But there's something good in there - actually quite a fascinating approach to substance abuse, that a person's approach to stress dictates the appeal of certain drugs.

Not mentioned but the appeal of e.g. LSD also falls out of this. I'm not sure it needs to be quite this pathologised though.

Unfortunately the article doesn't pay off in the end, and amounts to "open youth centres for kids to stop them drinking", which is remarkably unoriginal.

Honest question: what’s so awful about WEBP? Though it’s worse than the gen arriving now, it’s better than or the same as the one before it for the use cases it supports, and free and open. I get the impression people associate it with brokenness and low quality, but the brokenness is just a lack of support, and the quality a creator choice. Maybe its original sin was not trying to be suitable for original data, leading to the low quality association and making support less desirable outside of the web, but if that’s the case then AVIF is in the same boat.

> So no one is doing you any favors here. Poor utilization is not just an "oops" on the part of the subscriber, but an essential feature of the business model. If everyone was being "personally responsible", the business model simply wouldn't work. And because this isn't a charity, the idea of being happy about subsidizing others users is kind of weird.

Firstly, I wasn't talking about under-utilization, I was comparing equivalent usage but one person watches most of their media consistently week by week while others binge a lot of content in a month and then take a break. They are not subsidizing each other in a normal monthly subscription model, they are just using the service in different patterns. But if the binger only paid for the month he binges, he's paying less but still consuming the same bandwidth.

Secondly, personal responsibility means different things to different people. It's absurd to suggest that if everyone was "personally responsible" they'd all be spending as much time as possible streaming TV shows to maximally utilize their media subscription. That's like saying the personally responsible thing to do with health insurance is be as sick as possible so you get the most amount of medical care for your buck. That's like saying the personally responsible thing to do in a buffet is to eat as much as humanly possible.

Most people are not hellbent on squeezing the last drop of value out every service, they accept the simplicity of a consistent monthly price so they don't have to spend the mental overhead of financially evaluating every single thing they consume. If you want to financially evaluate everything, you can go to a digital or retail store and buy one movie or TV season at a time, that way no one is subsidizing anyone else, but a lot of people think that kind of sucks.

The benefit you get in return is variety. In a buffet, it's easy to try small bites that you would otherwise be hesitant to pay full price for and you don't have to financially regret every bad bite of food.

Yeah, some people get less bang for their buck than others but not everyone is obsessed with coming out ahead.
According to the CDC, 52% of schools exempted students with cognitive disability, and 86% exempted students with long-term physical and medical disability from physical education[1].

You talk about what I'm saying being short-sighted because of "extreme expense" and "massive expense", and how society serves to "Crush difference". I call absolute horseshit. Schools spend MORE on the physical education of normal students than they do with the majority of their disabled students. They do NOT crush difference, they alienate their disabled students from the rest of the student body. They discriminate against them, they make them sick though idleness, they set them up for failure, and when they fail to pretend to play the game it's all blamed on their sick minds and weak bodies. It's not the schools fault of course, it's that these students are such freaks that the school is blameless for them failing. Of course kids who don't exercise are failing socially - not exercising makes you ugly, mentally unwell, markedly different from the other kids, and culturally disconnected - if they gave a fuck about autistic kids social functioning they would make them exercise but they don't care.

> employees have no leverage

Amazon's job ad for "Warehouse Team Member" at that location indicates pay 30% above minimum wage plus benefits. That suggests the workers have a reasonable amount of leverage. After all, why would Amazon pay anything more than minimum wage if the workers had no leverage? There is nothing to suggest that Amazon operates as a charity.

> are easy to fire

Not when one is being fired over taking necessary precautions to serve their health and wellbeing. Ontario labour law does not take kindly to that in the slightest. In fact, Ontario regulation requires employers to make that known to the employees, so it isn't even a case of "He didn't know." The, as summed up by the popular TV show based on the nearby town of Listowel, "When a friend asks for help, you help them" explanation is the most likely. It is the Canadian culture to be compliant when someone asks something of you.

device continues to receive regular security updates

Have to reply to this, and my response was covered a bit by your statement of "security up to par".

Nothing should be considered secure. All those bug bounties are to entice black hats, into giving up juicy pre-0day vulnerabilities.

So just because a device is up to date with security updates, we all must understand, there are countless bugs unknown, needing to be patched, and often, being discovered by those that will never tell, never disclose, never report, and only use them for nefarious purposes.

This is why security is nothing without monitoring.

And why nothing is ever "safe", only likely "more safe" due to a security update.

Consider everything that is network connected as compromised. Everything.
They're benchmarking random IO though, and the disks can "only" do a bit over 1000k random 4k read IOPS, which translates to about 5 GiB/s. With 320 OSDs thats around 1.6 TiB/s.

At least thats the number I could find. Not exactly tons of reviews on these enterprise NVMe disks...

Still, that seems like a good match to the NICs. At this scale most workloads will likely appear as random IO at the storage layer anyway.
Best email the mods, they can fix it much more quickly that way.
Although Stevia is considered a replacement for many, it wasn't suitable for me. Quitting it helped reduce insulin spikes, which led to hormonal imbalances. This, in turn, resulted in low-level inflammation that primarily triggered pimples on my face. I can't provide scientific data to support this, but I systematically eliminated all sugar and artificial sweeteners, observing the effects of each over a 20-day period.

That said, I come from a family where sugar is deemed public enemy number one. We used to heavily rely on artificial sweeteners, which I believe led to my low tolerance after 20 years
> I don't want to waste my thirties doing crappy work because I don't have an office to work in.

I personally find this statement presumptuous.

Most of us are doing mundane work on boring/useless products and that’s what puts food on the table.

People who do meaningful work in their thirties and have a private office are very rare. I think trying to measure your outcomes to this metric is a recipe for feeling like a failure because it’s unachievable for the vast vast majority.

If you use 480 hours of Netflix per month it costs the same as 10 minutes per month. S3 does not allow you to multiply your usage by 3000x with the same charge.

Long ago I used to be a regular customer at a massage therapists office and paid dues into their sort of "subscription service" program. They charged a monthly fee about equal to a 1 hour massage, but would give a substantial discount when you actually get massages -- it broke even after about 2x per month which worked well enough for me.

The incredible part was that they tracked whether you got a massage that month. If not, you'd get a 1/3rd credit for a free massage. And after 3 months of no use they would stop billing the monthly fee until you return (and collect your free massage). It was, to me, unbelievably consumer-friendly and reflected well on the business. I recommended everyone I could, and they deserved it.

Unfortunately the place shut down shortly after I moved away.

The original lossy WebP format is more or less an intra-coded frame format from VP8. This "I-frame-as-image" approach was considered good enough for some time, for example AVIF largely follows the same structure.

The WebP lossless format (internally "VP8L") is the second codec supported by libwebp but otherwise independent. This format can be thought as an optimized PNG; it uses the main PNG algorithm but then tweaks various bits for better compression. For this reason it is very rare to see PNG files smaller than losslessly compressed WebP files when efficiently done.

JPEG XL is very different from both. There are some technical resemblances, as the author of lossless WebP also worked on JPEG XL (and Brotli), but the overall architecture is completely revamped. The lossy portion of JPEG XL is a (much larger) superset of JPEG 1, while the lossless portion is based on a learnable context modelling respresented as a binary decision tree. And then everything got sandwiched between yet another set of components.

> none of them have issues understanding when someone is speaking

This isn't it at all. It's the first part that's the issue. It's not that I can't understand speech, it's I can't focus on having a conversation increasingly as the number of chaotic elements increase.

There's loud(ish) background noise, there's people moving around, there's the uncomfortable feeling of strangers nearer to me than I would optimally like. And so I've realized in my younger attempts to fit in that I couldn't relax and have a good time and talk to people because of some of those things, because they felt to me like immediate urgent things and the conversation while I would like to have it is not getting priority.

A similar thing happens in larger group contexts, more people is more mental overhead, and additionally there's an element of not knowing how to take a turn in group conversation because I either lack an appropriate referent to relate or I don't know when my turn is.

By the time I have both something to say and can pay attention to turn taking the conversation has already moved on and I have to start over.

But neurotype is definitely a strong element in it, both in interests and somehow in things like conversational turn-taking as well. It also helps that a lot of conversations end up happening in text for me, turn-taking isn't an issue when you can both type at the same time.

...don't points 2-4 (the sandboxing of the webview's context, so that it does not overlap with your actual web browsing activity or with other apps' webviews) contradict point 1 (the level of danger from apps' ability to control their own webviews)?

> For a "not web browser", the app would have to make a short list of domains (5? 10?) that it's allowed to talk to. Any others would be blocked by the OS.

What does "allowed to talk to" mean in practice? Off the top of my head, either you only check the domains of URLs that are explicitly navigated to (too lax, easily circumvented) or you check the URLs of literally every request (too strict, many developers would not be able to load their own sites).
In my experience, it’s good now.
Interlaced GIFs. Early browsers only rendered the single lines as they came in (leaving the unloaded parts blank), but eventually browsers started doubling the lines so the image seemed to increase in resolution as it loaded. I think MSIE started the latter behavior, and that's what modern browsers do.

Progressive JPEGs are somewhat similar, but IIRC didn't gain traction until 2000 or so.
