I don't think image containers supporting both lossless and lossy is good

Hacker News - Sun, 10/11/2026 - 4:28pm

In all discussion of the modern image formats JXL and WebP, it has been mentioned that the formats support both lossless and lossy encoding, as if this is some sort of breakthrough feature. I think, at the very least, lossless and lossy image formats ought to use a different container, or file extension, so that -I- can differentiate them. As long as there is this sort of ambiguity, and unless search engines widely add a "lossless" option to their advanced image search tools, I will keep searching for "filetype:png" when I want a lossless image.

Hey, maybe some Googler could convince their boss to convince their boss to add the "filetype:lossless" flag, to support these new formats?

Show HN: Tilefinch – a from-scratch* web browser for the PSP (333Mhz, 64MB RAM)

Hacker News - Sun, 10/11/2026 - 2:47pm

I picked up my PSP for the first time in about a decade and wanted to find out three things: how far the hardware could be pushed, how much of the modern web fits on it, and what today’s coding agents can do. A web browser tests all three.

Tilefinch runs entirely on a PSP-3000: networking, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, layout and rendering, over Wi-Fi, with no proxy or companion computer. The style, layout, paint, media and UI layers are new C code and a patched QuickJS runs the JavaScript.

Each page gets a single 32 MB budget covering DOM, JavaScript, CSS, images, layout and tiles.

A few things that work: logged-out ChatGPT rendering a response; YouTube and HTML video through the PSP’s hardware decoder, at up to 360p; Canvas 2D and WebGL 1 on the PSP’s graphics chip (the repo includes a new 3D tank game as a demo). There's also modern browser features like Reader mode, dark mode, an ad blocker, language packs and in-app updates.

However, some sites are too large (in which the browser offers a "Basic" mode) and most are slow to render.
