Hey everyone! I'm Kato and I've been working on a promising lossless compression technology. So far, I've managed to compress files down by as much as 86%, and it's not your typical ZIP or LZMA approach. My method involves using binary blocks, hierarchical structures, metadata, and entropy control. I've tested it on various file types, including text documents, songs, and movies, but I haven't shared complete details yet as I'm perfecting the tech.
Here's the hitch—my computer isn't exactly a powerhouse, resulting in a slow compression process. I'm currently optimizing the algorithm with tools like Numba and Cython, but I've already reduced a 100 MB file to just 14 MB without any loss of data.
I don't want to come off as someone who just talks big without proof; I believe this could genuinely change the game in compression technology if I can stabilize it. I'll keep you all posted on my progress!

Just a heads up, compression is all about balancing size and speed. Most places today have virtually unlimited storage. If your method offers way better ratios, check out how much companies could save if they switched to your algorithm. But remember, speed matters too; a slower method may look good on paper but cost more in actual use, especially for companies.
Great point! It all adds up. Efficiency in both storage and transfer is key.
Your enthusiasm is awesome! Getting 86% compression is definitely achievable with highly repetitive files—like logs or raw data dumps. But the real challenge lies in applying your method to various file types, especially already compressed ones like JPEGs or ZIPs. If you can improve compression on benchmark files like Canterbury or Silesia, that’s groundbreaking! Don't forget to share your data and implementation so the community can review it and confirm your claims.
Absolutely! I’m using Shannon's theory and I’m excited to share the results soon!
Looking forward to seeing your publish! It’s crucial for others to verify your success.
It feels like you’ve tossed out a lot of buzzwords without solid proof here. Until you show us some real evidence, it sounds a bit empty, honestly.
I get that, and I appreciate the skepticism. I promise, I’ll share more once I have clear results!
What about the cost of data transmission? That’s another factor.
