    From the article “Most of the time in a wedding gallery of 1,000 photos there are only 1 to 3 images that are blurred,” explains Haanstad. “Also, anytime I do a blurry photo I have…

    What the tweet and graph misses is the fact that the NICD systems have a delay in reporting due to some recent IT changes for data security. https://twitter.com/nicd_sa/status/1469…

    I'm in South Africa, paying ±$73/month for 100Mbps synchronous uncapped (but with a FUP [Fair Usage Policy]). I would love to double my speed and third my costs :(

    Yes, the betas get updated along the way, and you'll end up with the final print version when it's done.

    You can use Hyperfine [1] instead of time for a nicer CLI benchmark. I'd also be curious to know is pillow-simd [2] gets the Python performance closer to Go/Rust, and if using Rayo…
