#2I'm not sure if it would make you YouTube famous, but I'd be interested in a video series where it emphasised how crappy, expedient, short-sighted and idiotic choices in the development of technologies were.
I feel the focus on the beauty and amazement is somewhat misleading. It's like a magic trick, they're trying to fool you into thinking this is some superman feat.
I want the story of the JPEG told from the "let's just throw some information away because it's good enough to get the current job done even if it looks crap" perspective.
Like reading about how your favourite singer or comedian grew up doing impersonations of their favourite singer or comedian, I feel it gives a truer glimpse into how these things work in reality and a better understanding for people who want to learn.

That would be a very interesting series.
Engineering is all about comprise and sacrifice to get a product working within the constraints (price, weight, volume, time to market, project risk, regulatory compliance, reliability, etc), so these stories would exist for everything.
Except Juicero, that thing was engineered to death: the only thing they (well...the VCs) skimped on was the market research and common sense.

#4There's some weird very low volume background music (?) distracting from the actual content. Or maybe a compression artifact.

The thing built like that would either be crap and nobody uses it so no cool story, or it will be so damn genius with middle out that gets a Weissman score of 9.8 or some such.

Yes. An opinionated podcast with hot takes on other people's work would certainly be a refreshing thing.

That's a notably beautiful irony.

I need this.

#9JPEG has been growing on me lately. In addition to all of the clever information theory magic, it is also practically the fastest way to compress an image by miles.
I've got implementations on top of libjpegturbo that can encode with latency low enough to support interactive frame rates at modern resolutions. We are talking 1920x1080@4:4:4 in under 10 milliseconds.

Motion JPEG is widely used as a simple video streaming format.
