This article tells me to hype myself up, which had the exact opposite effect
> Workers first, AI technologies, dead last
> AI and LLMs are rooted in theft, exploitation, dishonesty and are over-promoted with ill-intentions for workers. Instead of running towards AI, we’re focusing on what’s actually important: content that helps people to succeed that is never produced by AI tools.
The style is definitely the over hyped and well expanded tone that AI is trained to mimic for sure though.
<img loading="lazy" src="TrIZjHKy9-650.jpeg" srcset="GTrIZjHKy9-650.jpeg 650w, GTrIZjHKy9-960.jpeg 960w, GTrIZjHKy9-1400.jpeg 1400w" sizes="auto, (min-width: 1040px) 650px, calc(94.44vw - 15px)" alt="…">
IMHO, feels more like a polyfill than a final industry solution.
The most incredible thing is that a group of enthousiasts can join in the standards making process and actually move companies as big as Google and Apple. Even just a tiny bit.
>A few weeks ago, two patches landed in Gecko and WebKit… aligning [them] with Blink in supporting a relatively recent addition to the HTML specification: support for an auto value in sizes attributes.
>[T]he central issue with srcset/sizes was one of timing: a browser makes decisions about image requests long before it has any information about the page's layout… That assumption is… still the default behavior: if there’s an img in your markup, the request it triggers will be fired off long before any information about the layout can be known
>[T]hat is, unless that image uses the loading="lazy" attribute… [which] changes that entire equation — now those images are requested at the point of user interaction, long after the browser has all the information it needs about the sizes of the rendered image.
The mdn page is https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLImageEl... but what the mdn examples don't include is that the auto attribute can be used in addition to a specified sizes fallback. The Piccalilli article discusses this and includes example markup.
Bro you just spewed 2 long paragraphs about picture at me. Don’t talk to me like that.
This doesn't help you if you want to save bandwidth, it worsens it.
It doesn't help you if you custom-crop images depending on the viewport size, because if you go that far to art direct, then you're not going to like the result of automated and unsupervised seam carving.
Just publish 3 sizes, maybe crop the smallest one if the focus area is too small. Done.
