Yeah, jpeg converts to lab (or something similar, I think). But the dimensions are the same: one channel for lightness, and then a number of channels one less than the total number of sampled frequencies to capture the rest of the color space.
Spectral JPEG XL utilizes a technique used with human-visible images, a math trick called a discrete cosine transform (DCT), to make these massive files smaller […] it then applies a weighting step, dividing higher-frequency spectral coefficients by the overall brightness (the DC component), allowing less important data to be compressed more aggressively.
This all sounds like standard jpeg compression. Is it just jpeg with extra channels?
I wouldn’t be surprised if Putin put Trump up to it, so Russia could step in and portray itself as the defender of Europe.
So they’re adding phone capabilities to Tamagotchi?
Technically, in a lynching a mob kidnaps a suspect from police custody—this was more of a reverse lynching. (Same ultimate intent, though.)
He’ll just threaten to invade Sweden unless they give him the peace prize.
Ok—to the extent that SVG is HTML, the variant of HTML that it is is a flavor of XML.
More precisely, both are flavors of XML.
I like Molly White’s recent take, that it might be more productive to treat this as a labor issue instead of a copyright issue (at least in principle). Even if the AI corporations aren’t technically re-selling copyrighted works, they’re still profiting from the authors’ unpaid labor.
Can some other university give him an honorary degree?
They can just take the Nazis’ Madagascar Plan and search-and-replace “Palestinians” for “Jews”.
It just depends on which type of serifs he puts on the X.
If they tell law enforcement they can’t produce an unencrypted copy and it’s later proven that they could, the potential penalty would likely be more severe than anything they could have gained by using the data themselves. And any employee (or third party they tried to sell the data to) could rat them out—so they’d have to keep the information within a circle too small to make use of it at scale. And even if it never leaked, hackers would eventually find and exploit the backdoor, exposing its existence. And in either case they’d also have to face lawsuits from shareholders (rightly) complaining that they were never warned of the legal risk.
And the honeybee populations least in need of saving are the big commercial operations this tech seems targeted toward. (These operations typically park their hives in random rural locations between jobs, where their bees raid and outcompete local pollinators and carry diseases from region to region.)
While [Trump-supporting] CEO Andy Yen’s recent public statements have raised my hackles more than a little, Proton remains structurally committed to privacy, encryption, and user control, ensuring its ecosystem stays independent of political shifts.
That’s a pretty weak definition of “Trump-proof”.
Are the people who would have bought Teslas now buying other EVs, or passing on buying a new car altogether?
That’s like saying you can continue to do business with the guy who keeps trying to stab you, if you stay out of arm’s reach.
It’s not wrong, but it’s ignoring the underlying issue.
As long as you don’t observe it.
The optimist in me says they’re doing this to avoid piracy.
Won’t pirates just buy their source copies on a different platform, so now Amazon loses the original sale as well?
Tesla makes limos now?
