Which is why building actual guardrails around itself should be the #1 priority of any incoming executive branch.

Not to say we won't ever see a HW JXL encoder, but given that we're first seeing JXL encode IP show up in late 2025 I would only expect to potentially see it on the next wave of cameras in 2-5 years (current chip arch was likely frozen 2-3 years ago).

Not licensing. JXL has no royalty. HEIC actually costs them a license.

It's all about the die area spend. HEIC is practically free: they can use the HEVC/H.265 video encoder already on the chip. And JPEG-1992 is so tiny that it's in the noise. JXL is mathematically much more complex (expensive).

Was a little annoyed that they still aren't supporting JPEG-XL in-camera.

Then looked into what it would take to implement JPEG-XL encode... and yeah. Makes sense why they haven't gone beyond HEIC for now.

Thankfully starting to see JPEG-XL encode IP, but it's new: www.cast-inc.com/press-releas...

This entire thread serves as "exhibit A" on "why you should read the actual article".

Folks, there are more than enough factual things to be mad about these days. Nonsense like this only takes our eye off the ball.

"A bit" clickbaity?

This includes @bencollins.bsky.social .

Ah. So I see you didn’t read the article, either.

The "When Waymos Are Stumped" part of the click-through headline seems like a super important phrase that was ostensibly dropped from the thumbnail headline only for sensationalist reasons.

Learned Sony A7V's biggest upgrade is a new 33MP partially stacked sensor, but none of the marketing/youtubers had a diagram of it.

Luckily, I found this slide deck (full paper is also on IEEE Xplore).

3D packaging is changing everything.

Excited for extra torque and flappy wings.

Especially these days, I'm thankful to have F1 as a brain sink. It hits the spot as an uber-complex and deep thing to think about that also doesn't matter at all.

Best YouTube channel and it’s not even close.

This is terrifying.

We’ve lost over 10,000 STEM PhDs from the federal workforce in a single year.

It's wild how self-unaware these people are.

The DNC is not in a serious place until Schumer and Jeffries step aside from leadership.

Very excited for an HDR UI talk like this. Please do it (regardless of where the venue would be).

Welcome to the team! 🏎️

Can be nice to my Microsoft friends at F1 parties now.

Evergreen tweet.

On De Minimis (RIP): something I didn't realize with its removal is that not only are you going to now be tariffed for small purchases, but the logistics company can (and will) charge the receiving party a "processing fee", of which the minimum can be over 2X the value of the actual tariff.

Have had a license for a while but no time to play it. Definitely tired of excessive handholding in games. Looking forward to this.

Economies of scale explain general price differences, but not the implemented panel performance. Unless yield (as a function of brightness) is a dominant factor, which I haven't seen any evidence of.

These new PC monitor tandem OLEDs sound neat, but I don't understand why the iPad OLED is rated for 1000 nits @ 100% window, while PC monitors are just now breaching 300 nits.

That's the toughest part of this whole era, IMO. And I still cringe a little when people do just say "I made this", without any hesitation.

At least in my human-driven experience, hyper-optimized RTL design typically involves significant iteration and experimentation. Simply automating (agentically) the flow from HDL -> gate-level simulation will certainly be powerful.

To be clear, this isn't to say that using AI to write RTL isn't viable at all. But I expect the models and methodologies that can do it effectively are/will be much more proprietary and protected (vs. what we're seeing with software).
