- vintermann 9d agoIt's a very strange algorithm completely different from most compression methods, that's what makes it interesting IMO. But it's probably not realistically competitive, since one needs to do more after the burrows-wheeler transform, and all that "more" has been ridiculously more optimized in zstd and other modern compression methods. Compressing bwt-transformed data is easier, but that doesn't mean it's easy to further than what's easy.
- sylware 8d agoI saw bellard neural net compression benchmarks. If you have time and performant system, based on the semantic of the data to compress, neural net seems tough to beat. It is a matter of good compromises: speed and efficacy. I even wonder if LZMA2 is worth replacing bzip2.
