They plan to increase 50% for Wind and Solar in 5 years, and possibly double in 10 years. Since 80%+ of all future planned Nuclear reactor are also in China, they would have more than double their renewable energy in 10 years. China is the number one in electricity production and usage, more than twice the size of US and 33%+ of the world. Given the size of China this is both exciting and scary.

You perfectly summarise how I felt as well. The revisionist also tries to paint the story as JPEG XL was first banned due to security issues which is again not true.

But that is OK. Since JPEG XL has finally and rightfully won its place, mostly thanks for Safari. We can now hopefully wait for better encoder.

Keyboard is finally back to semi decent now. The old scissor is still better. But I think 2024 or 2025 they finally make some minor changes that is closer to old scissors.

Curious what is the better encoder here referring to?

Think of it as zip compression that is specially designed for JPEG and putting the JPEG data in a different/better container.

JPEG XL has always been targeting high quality encoding metric first before the lower end low BPP images, which AV1 excels at with or without the last 6 years of improvements.

The current top comments about MP3 and LAME is again about how encoder extract maximum potential. JPEG XL was may be the best in 2021, but has been fighting for survival since then.

There a lot of different images that JPEG XL encode better. Screenshots with text is known to be not something they have optimised for or think it could be good at. Lossless mode may be better. Edit: As one of the other comment here proved my point.

Had all of these, even just a hint of AVIF improvement be told, may be the sentiments would have been a little different. But then again I am not one who would trust the same people who sold me WebP and AOM roadmaps.

But at least AV2 is coming. And JPEG XL is finally in every browser. Hopefully we can all have something even better in the future.

The A20 Pro was a massive jump in performance per watt, meaning higher efficiency. A lot of site that latter discovered what A20 Pro were doing thought Apple under sell its achievement.

They should have provided battery life compare to 14 Pro and 15 Pro. Which is anywhere from 30% to 40% more. That is a huge jump and a lot of people are still on 13 - 15 range. That single reason should have pushed an upgrading cycle alone.

Every other phone has increased their price for a lot more in terms of percentage. Apple is actually on the lower side especially to entry model. Some how this message should have been marketed. A lot of iPhone user aren't aware that Android have gotten a lot more expensive as well for their flagship.

I guess the question is why not invest those profits to further expand when there are already a backlog of orders to fill.

But on the other hand Huge Congrats being a profitable company! Hardware business is insanely brutal, and having the backlog is great to hear. AMD being investor I hope you guys get Zen 6c and Zen 7c earlier in the future.

In the context of Deno here, it obviously implies market share.

2. JPEG XL lossless can be 10-13% or in some cases up to 50% better. Of course WebP could also be better in some cases. And again, JPEG-XL potential is far fully optimised. Both in encoder and decoder.

On another note, the AOM camp should really have played the AV2 card suggesting it to be better.
