We've been here before. Jpeg and PNG are "good enough" and consumers aren't going to get behind anything that is slightly less convenient.

- shepherdjerred 1mo agoMy most common use of Claude Code on Windows is to convert some random HEIC files to something normal
- kibwen 1mo agoI'm under the impression that one of the main selling points of JPEG XL is that it's backwards-compatible, so once everyone has a decoder implementation, every existing JPEG comes along for free without anyone having to reencode any old photos. I suspect consumers wouldn't notice the difference if devices started emitting them, and in the meantime that means there's no harm in continuing to emit classic JPEG for as long as you want.
- Gigachad 1mo agoJPEG isn’t good enough which is why we ended up with HEIF, which is a massive pain because it’s patent encumbered so it will never be widespread adopted. The most glaring issue with jpeg is the lack of HDR support.
