Yeah, space forager I thought was decent, but I think forage space is even better. I think that... What is that?

Like storage space. Forage space. Come on, that's a great name. That is good. If you're not going to go with Storicusa, I think...

If I remember correctly, isn't one of the benefits of JPEG XL that it can actually store existing JPEGs at smaller size and then losslessly go back to them if it needs to?

I mean, when you think about it, though, nobody has a higher incentive to shrink photo JPEGs than Apple because Apple probably stores more photo JPEGs on their own servers than anybody else in the world, if I had to guess.

I don't think you have that much incentive. Well, but still, you know, I think they would benefit substantially from just the resource savings on their end alone. And, I mean, who knows how many people really pay that much for iCloud who wouldn't still pay.

But I could totally see, because keep in mind, occasionally what Apple will do is, in order to justify still selling iPhones and Macs that have much too small a base storage for the era in which they are sold, they will sometimes...

do fancy compression tricks to save space in order to make them not suck for a little while longer as much so they can keep selling their 256 or their 8 gig or whatever. We see all the work they did to try to fit modern LLMs to try to shrink those models to fit onto these small amounts of RAM that are in iPhones. A lot of that is because it's just more efficient.

A lot of it is because the iPhone RAM has been too small for a little while, and so people had to make it work. In this case, maybe they'd be motivated to do one of these in-place migrations over time for everyone's photo libraries,

you know, as JPEG XL support improves over time, maybe they'd be motivated to do it simply to, you know, keep selling 256 gig Macs for a little bit longer, you know, like there's, there are other cynical reasons than to do it.

Honestly, I think it's probably for the best that Siri tries to accurately reflect the emotion that, like, we are choosing or people who send stuff to us are choosing to use capitalization, punctuation, style, like... We're choosing to use this stuff. I believe we now have support for some basic bold italics kind of formatting. Hopefully Siri could take advantage of that when reading things aloud.
