This is soo cool! Especially the prediction machine stuff. I had no clue this was possible.

And also at the same time a good reminder for everyone to find a browser that supports JPEG XL. I wonder if that was part of the reason to do this. :)

In the era of LLM-generated content, such a high-quality writeup is a breath of fresh air. Well done!

    Beware of having too-small fingerprint hashes though, or not checking enough of the digits.

Nobody was this excited about WEBP.

Webp was not as exciting. JpegXL has cool features like 20% improved lossless jpeg recompression and progressive decoding. Not to mention all the cool stuff used in the writeup like implementing a font in the prediction engine.

Shouldn't that be "World"?
