Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

The Near-Lossless Image Formats Using Ultra-Fast LZ Codecs
The author of the OP also develops Basis, which is designed to take advantage of GPU texture compression formats. GPU formats have a fixed bitrate which makes them efficient to sample but not the most efficient to transmit, so Basis layers on a second level of compression that unpacks into a GPU texture.

Why do games need so much RAM?

Hello, PNG
Erm, aren't both WebP and PNG rather useless for games? How do you convert those formats into one of the hardware-compressed texture formats consumed by the GPU (like BCx, ETC or ASTC)? Without those you're wasting a ton of GPU memory bandwidth when sampling textures.
(there are some alternatives, like https://github.com/BinomialLLC/basis_universal, or http://www.radgametools.com/oodletexture.htm)

Have any of the big game engines shown interest in JXL?
In addition to this, texture compression is optimized for random access and has to use a fixed amount of bytes per each block, but there is a possibility to further compress this during the delivery. This is called the supercompression and Basis Universal is a good example of this. JPEG XL is also based on tiles for parallel decoding, but those tiles are too large (128x128 minimum, compare with 12x12 maximum of ASTC) so it is not yet suitable for GPU as it stands.

Brotli-G: A GPU compression/decompression standard for digital assets
Im interested to see what image format specific compressors go gpu. JpegXL, AVIF, WebP... who wants to show up & throw down? Or even just fastpng?
Meanwhile we dont really hear or regard many of the gpu-oriented compression techs. TIL Basis/KTX2 is itself zstd compressed (formerly LZ apparently?). https://github.com/BinomialLLC/basis_universal

An efficient image format for SDL
You could check out Binomial's basis_universal. After Google bought them, they open sourced it and allowed use for free.

What image formats do you support?
Simple, open-source, standardized and supports every GPU-oriented format around. And, built-in library support for https://github.com/BinomialLLC/basis_universal

Rasterization in slow motion
Yep. That lib is great. And, similarly https://github.com/nfrechette/acl and https://github.com/BinomialLLC/basis_universal

Ethically Sourced Lena Picture
Her request is politely-phrased and reasonable. I don't think there's a legal or ethical issue, but respecting the wishes of others when it costs nothing is just kindness.
However, the way that some have seized on it, and then interacted with others in their communities is ... neither polite nor reasonable.

The most famous picture used as a standard in computer science is nudes from Playboy!
How do you know it's not a problem for the people who work with computer vision? Let's take this for example - sure, the request itself was presented very unprofessionally, but this is still an example of someone in a computer vision-adjacent field stating in no uncertain terms that they have a problem with the image.

At one company I worked at only one thing mattered: the yearly bonus
Yes. Without a supporting statement, it's ad hominem. But I provided a supporting statement.
This is the issue I'm taking about: https://mobile.twitter.com/richgel999/status/146443578680850...
Which links to here: https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi/issues/35
Where everyone agrees, yes, the image should be removed. They didn't know about its history. Would he please stop being a gigantic asshole about it.
So if that's not blowing things out of proportion, I don't know what is.

QOI – The Quite OK Image Format
I don't know about CUDA, however I've made an AVX2 based encoder a few months ago : https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi/pull/143
I intend to create an AVX2 based decoder but I had absolutely no time to work on side projects in the past three months.
You might also want to take a look at this streaming encoder if you want to encode large files with a tiny memory footprint : https://github.com/MKCG/php-qoi/blob/main/src/FFI/lib/qoi.c

This is huge: GameMaker Studio 2 now uses QOI image format for textures!
Not only does compression improve this situation today, but using QOI means improvements may continue to come over time. QOI is a very new, open source image format, and that's already proving to be an advantage. By itself, QOI compression is pretty weak, but YoYoGames have forked it and worked in BZ2 compression to surpass the old PNG format. As QOI itself improves and as YoYoGames continues to work on it, it's almost guaranteed that we'll see the compression ratio in GameMaker get better over time.
