    Beware of having too-small fingerprint hashes though, or not checking enough of the digits.

This is soo cool! Especially the prediction machine stuff. I had no clue this was possible.

And also at the same time a good reminder for everyone to find a browser that supports JPEG XL. I wonder if that was part of the reason to do this. :)

In the era of LLM-generated content, such a high-quality writeup is a breath of fresh air. Well done!
