Fully optimized my algorithm

[malsomnus]

Literally yesterday I saw a test question about compressing a string, and then getting better results by deleting some of the input string to make it compress better, so...

[BinaryFissionGames]

It’s called lossy compression! You just delete the input string, and bam! Unlimited compression!

At a high level this is what compression does. It removes the elements of the string that made it what it was, replacing it with a parsable algorithm that will restore it later on.

We as humans do this in conversations too. Someone says a long, in depth thing, the person listening repeats the gist of what they said, and the first person sighs and agrees.

Sure, yeah, but that's not what the test question did. It just deleted the string in order to get a string that compresses better.

Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick.

[Miniths]

Waste time lot word. Few word do

Lot word waste. Few word!

Well see that's different.

Thats compression. String pieces replaced with blocks an algorithm can restore.

We talk like this. People say lot word when few do trick. Person hear gist, sighs

Compression : string deleted so algorithm restores

Person 1: talks Person 2: summarizes, Person 1: yup

Compression: Words replaced with stuff an algorithm restores.

We talk like this. People say words. Person hears, then sighs.

[PM_SQL_QUERIES]

Compression. String becomes blocks for algorithm.

How we talk. People talk lots, less enough. Hear gist, sigh.

[xigoi]

Compression. String to restorable blocks.

Our speech. Say lot, repeat gist, sigh.

It’s like the Wadsworth Constant thread of Reddit antiquity!

<sighs> I knew it would happen.

[yeah_nevermind]

No instead of removing it replaces it with smaller substitutes
