what if the root cause was some system variable, which got reset on boot and never happens again (for example some code you wrote accidentally triggered lower voltage for your cpu, and you have hitches)

this is true, but gifs had some other license related issues early on so did it was behind jpeg. now jpeg has momentum far superior to anythinng else

that is indeed the sad truth

svg is great, but at vector graphics. we are mostly discussing raster formats.

yes, but that is a bit apple specific, and on intel side, they support hwdec since 2021. and since these are just images, even software decoding works (although a bit slower)

okay. it is a lot simplified, but mostly correct. ideally image format for drawn out stuff and other flat animated stuff is svg (vector graphics - ie - infinitely scalable yet crisp), but png is usually used because it is defacto lossless standrad. lossless here roughly translates to - sensor produced a matrix of colors - lossless photo preserves all data. lossy discards some data. For irl stuff, usually lossless is overkill for end user, hence you see jpegs (defacto lossy standrad)

jxl can so both. others can do that as well. jpegs can be lossless, but that is usually not the standard we use. you can store lossy data in pngs, but the loss is not created by png. jxl behaves by default like lossless (like png), but due to newer algorithms, size when lossless is closer to jpeg. if you prepare loss jxl - it can be close to half size of jpegs.

there are other benifits to jxl (extreme future proofing (extremely high bit depth, and pixel size limit, large amount of channels), progressive decoding, etc.), but our reality has to suck because of google.

I locally use jxl to store family photos, but this means i can not send them, because they are using stuff which does not support jxl, so have to convert and share.

it is not net negative. they do not earn from you, but server (redlib) still counts as a visitor. what advertisers usually want is site wide traffic, and not individual people to advertise (that is more of google/meta job), so they still report the traffic to advertisers. if everyone switched to redlib, then no one will click on ads, and hence advertisers will not gain anything and stop paying.

data harvesting wise, yes, but they still get traffic, which means ads, which is money. I am not blaming you, reddit in some sense is cultural heritage of internet. I was mostly doing a joke bit (mentioning reddit on lemmy)

absolutely. were you not trusting their scientific integrity?

I get your perspective, and would not even deny that when you added that, you got better response

You act like it wouldnt be helpful at all

what part of above made you blive i suggested always?

I do not hate ai (at least not as much as an average fediverse person). As a researcher, i know what ml can do. llms are fine for language processing, and i even run local models (less than 10B). I do not like how a lot of things are going on (not going about them here), but I do not hate ai.

I even suggested a way that can be implemented to tool call whenever it reads verifiable sources, but never said never. I would recommend you to read my original comment.
