I really hope there will be social change - flexing mind - like flexing body in a gym/sport - becomes a thing.

There always was. Like there's a gym crowd, there's an intellectual-hobby crowd.

Not even close to being as popular as sports or a gym stuff. There's basically common knowledge - to be a good <think profession> you need to hit a gym regularly. And it's going to be gym+something for a brain soon. At least i hope so

You're wrong for OpenAI, their 5x/20x always referred to the full weekly limit, and my (and others') multiple tests confirmed it empirically multiple times by calculating API-equivalent prices, especially when going from one subscription tier to another.

You're right for Anthropic though, their 5x/20x is mostly for 5h limit.

> 20x was never about total usage, only 5h one

That was the case for Anthropic from what I remember, with everyone being pissed off about misleading marketing.

For OpenAI:

> The Pro 20X is quite precisely 20X the usage of the Plus subscription, so it does exactly what it says on the tin.

Factually wrong. I mean how can 20x be about 5h usage when 5h limits were not part of the Pro plan for a long time.

count .png-s in the web. There's a lot. And .jxl's lossless is much better than png's. Basically any image with sharp lines (screenshots, image of a button etc) or gradients should be lossless.

This is outdated thinking. AVIF is really good at sharp lines & gradients. https://hacks.mozilla.org/2026/08/intent-to-ship-jpeg-xl/#:~...

Not at lossless, though.

also, don't forget - actual video format is better for animated stuff. Current default approach is .webm which is standardized .mkv container + vp9 (or av1) video + opus audio (usually no audio to as a feature parity to gif). IMO animated picture formats like .avifs are very backwards and don't add much

One advantage to animated AVIF is that it supports an alpha channel, which AV1 doesn't. But I guess that just points to how short-sighted it was for AV1 to omit alpha channel support.

zstd with better compression level would be nice - these numbers are not really comparable since both time and compression level are too different

Tell that Apple and Android. I have 32 bit native software which can't run on modern devices at all.

I'm sorry to hear that. Could it be ARM related?

Apple dropped 32 bit support in specific OS version with no way to run it anymore sans downgrading the OS - so it's not hardware restriction

It's just to reduce the maintenance burden of backwards compatibility.

which TZ?

Probably US west coast hours, but there's no public stats

2AM CST

Dunno. Crease almost invisible when screen is on and not pitch black ( using Honor V3 while actual generation is V6).

Does that also mean owner must re-run very model ever released by them to detect anything?

1) That's a lot more entropy to gather, means sample size needs to be huge.

2) this also means check must be run against every user's ID in their database, 10^9 more expensive

That makes sense, though it sounds like it would still be feasibly cheap to only track a handful of users or organizations
