interesting! 147 bytes for 128x128 pixels are ~0.096 bpp (bits/pixel).

Everything above 153x153 pixels is too small (!) to count as LQIP (lighthouse).

The "normal" way would be to use a 0.05+ bpp WEBP-image as LQIP,

which has ~600 bytes, but looks MUCH better and is widely supported:

  $ echo "(8*147)/(154*154)" | bc -l

@dmit - please check your HTML (w3c validator is unhappy): https://nigeltao.github.io/blog/2026/wasm-handsum-example/ This is just invalid: '... width="128px" height="128px" ...'*

As always: build and install soon

Really slow and not snappy on my machine (i7-8550u). each animation takes ~60kb (avif) - way too much!

It needs to download 50 megabytes to show a single startpage.

It's all about licences. If you need the images for the web: go for jpegli, webp and avif - the distance to jpegxl or webp2 is not worth the hassle:

Yeah, thats slow - but the approach is at least interesting:

I tried to compare it with other encoders for the sample (girl/face painting): https://show.quicky.club/results/14/f8/f1/d8db84d57222d32db6...

The PICO-result claim to achieve 0.268 bpp (bit-per-pixel): Even webp (version 1) can do that good enough.

I understand, that one needs really advanced hardware to decode this. Not sure if this is worth the hassle.

Interesting! The produced Markdown (gemini flash) seems fine and correct, i was hoping for a PDF and markdown download. It seems not possible.

Wow - interesting how strong the differences are!

What seems missing: I can not see the answer from the different models. One have to rely on the "correctness" score.

Another minor thing: the scoring seems hardcoded to: 50% correctness, 30% cost, 20% latency - which is OK, but in my case i care more about correctness and latency I don't care.

Wow! This was my testprompt:

can you please:

* add an correct HTML image alt information

* compress your HTML and CSS with brotli (or gzip)

thanks!

sorry for the german comment - ECC is mandatory!

Obligatorische Pastete: "16GB Ram sind Flischt, ohne wenn und aber. ECC ist nicht Flischt aber ZFS ist dafür ausgelegt. Wenn in Strandnähe Daten gelesen werden und es kommt irgendwie was in den Arbeitsspeicher, könnte eine eigentlich intakte Datei auf der Festplatte mit einem Fehler "korrigiert" werden. Also ECC ja. Das Problem bei ECC ist nicht der ECC-Speicher an sich, der nur wenig mehr als konventioneller Speicher kostet, es sind die Mutterbretter, die ECC unterstützen. Aufpassen bei AMD: Oft steht dabei, dass ECC unterstützt wird. Gemeint ist aber, dass ECC-Speicher läuft, aber die ECC-Funktion nicht genutzt wird. LOL. Die meisten MBs mit ECC sind Serverboards. Wer nichts gegen gebrauchte Hardware hat, kann z.B. mit einem alten Sockel 1155-Xeon mit Asus-Brett ein Schnäppchen machen. Ansonsten ist die Asrock Rack-Reihe zu empfehlen. Teuer, aber stromsparend. Generell Nachteil bei Serverboards: Die Bootzeit dauert eine Ewigkeit. Von Consumerboards wird man mit kurzen Bootzeiten verwöhnt, Server brauchen da oft mal 2 Minuten, bis der eigentliche Bootvorgang beginnt. Bernds Server besteht also aus einem alten Xeon, einem Asus Brett, 16GB 1333Mhz ECC-Ram und 6x 2TB-Platten in einem RaidZ2 (Raid6).6TB sind Netto nutzbar. Ich mag alte Hardware irgendwie. Ich reize Hardware gerne bis zum Gehtnichtmehr aus. Die Platten sind auch schon 5 Jahre alt, machen aber keine Mucken. Geschwindigkeit ist super, 80-100MB/s über Samba und FTP. Ich lasse den Server übrigens nicht laufen, sondern schalte ihn aus, wenn ich ihn nicht brauche. Was noch? Komression ist super. Obwohl ich haupsächlich nicht weiter komprimierbare Daten speichere (Musik, Videos), hat mir die interne Kompression 1% Speicherplatz beschert. Bei 4TB sind das ca. 40GB Platz gespart. Der Xeon langweilt sich trotzdem ein bisschen. Testweise habe ich gzip-9-Komprimierung getestet, da kam er dann schon ins Schwitzen."

Is this sentence true, or should just sound important?

"Cachet created the word «usability» for that, meaning «start it and be able to use it right away.»"

Thank you for clarifing this, it was a misread on my side. The overall percentage deviation from the reference implementation is marginal, but just the pure existance of 'validate.py' looked to me like it must match.

It does not match with the reference implementation in my side:

You can build the image yourself, but have to switch off some packages or features - otherwise the image (linux-kernel + tools) is just too large or consumes too much memory. The original router has 8 megabytes RAM-memory and 2 Megabytes flash ("storage"). You can boot a recent kernel 6.16.5, but with 8mb there is not much left to work with 8-)
