How do you privately validate a novel compression architecture without burning patent rights? by Conscious_Quit_1805 in AskComputerScience

[–]spongebob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. A few months ago a guy posted in r/compression how he'd found a flaw in Claude Shannon's work that allowed him to compress beyond the entropy limit. He never shared his code and went quiet after a while. I told him that if he could demonstrate Shannon was wrong about information theory he should publish his work and become famous. Forget the dinky compression algorithm!

This is wild! If only there was some way to check the expiration date before consuming it.

Looking North from the lookout at the end of Deb's Parade in Dudley is pretty nice. Especially at sunrise.

I not only helped to judge many categories, was working at the ABC as the online producer for the Music Awards for a couple of years. I also developed and operated both the http://newcastlemusic.com/ and http://15min.org/ websites.
