EDIT: am a dumbass, JPGXL extends from FLIF
I guess there are two kinds of magic. There is the magic of Fourrier which is lossy with funny math. But it is understandable that one can get higher compression ratios when it's lossy. But I find it even more magic that we can still find better ways to encode images losslessly. I would have thought we had already long found the optimal way
Look at everyday things that occasionally improve. We have probably not found the optimal way for almost anything.
Most of us just are not smart enough to find a better way.
