if you've ever accused me of murder then you have to preorder. this is not a threat. there is no reason to be uncomfortable around me, regardless of your state of residence. do not believe what you've heard.

Interesting table comparing the times between introduction of WebP, AVIF and JPEG XL and support being added to web browsers, operating systems and graphics software: cloudinary.com/blog/2026-th...

2026, the Year of JPEG XL

JXL adoption has been a surprisingly dramatic saga. But it looks like in 2026 all pieces of the puzzle might finally come together.

It's vastly more comforting to believe in an imminent robot apocalypse than the truth: the things that will destroy us are extensions of the unsexy but obvious problems all around us. We are not doomed in one grand way, but a thousand petty small ways.

Browsers should probably transcode WebP/AVIF/JXL images to JPEG on save, or offer the option. Probably not going to happen because of the technical roadblocks, but still.

Updated to macOS 27. The visual config I find bearable (in dark mode), in System Settings: Appearance > Liquid Glass: slider all the way to the right (less transparency, more contrast) Accessibility > Display: Show borders on, Differentiate without color on.

Screenshot of the System Settings Accessibility Display panel, with “Show borders” and “Differentiate without color” ticked, and other options off.

I think my disagreement with software developers who want to use LLMs to generate a lot of code is that I don’t think we need more software faster. I have no proof of that, but I suspect we now have digitized and built software for almost everything useful, and sometimes for harmful stuff as well.

Your semi-regular reminder that given the size and extent of the “AI” bubble it’s an absolute certainty that fraud is involved. We don’t know the scale or location of the fraud but you simply do not get a trillion-dollar bubble without fraud, both financial and in information/discourse

Published in the Boston Globe a few weeks before ChatGPT was released in 2022.

I tell my students that writing — in the classroom, in your journal, in a memo at work — is a way of bringing order to our thinking or of breaking apart that order as we challenge our ideas. We look at the evidence around us. We consider ideas we disagree with. And we try to bring a shape to it all. Sometimes my students see the process differently. They see writing a paper as a hoop they are being asked to jump through, a way for me to evaluate them and pronounce them successful or not. In other words, they see writing solely as a product. If the end point rather than the process were indeed all that mattered, then there might be good reason to turn to GPT-3. But if, as I believe is the case, we write to make sense of the world, then the risks of turning that process over to AI are much greater.

One frustration of having twin babies is that some people in our family and friends circle don't understand that it's more work than caring for one baby. This includes people who raised several kids.
