Re^2: Data compression by 50% + : is it possible?

> You need a gnat's under 6.5 bits to represent each of your values and are currently using 8 bits.

no idea what a gnat is, but you are wrong.

but you are wrong. Prove it! Take time out of your always 'too busy' schedule, and post some code. Working, code. Code that I can throw a few sample datasets at and see if ~~you~~ roboticus have really defeated a 30+ y/o CompSci theoretical fact. If you can post code that can compress all OP-compliant datasets, by more that 16.67%; I'll buy ~~you~~ him dinner. Better still -- and you'll like this idea -- I'll stop coming around here. So, PROVE IT!; or forever pursue your favorite pastime and "hold your piece". With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". The enemy of (IT) success is complexity. In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Lol ... the "gnat" is certainly with you. :) edit Read my post, read the code, read the output. I need maximum 51 bits per line that's already a 58% win. (Even before applying Huffman) Realize that you misunderstood the question. > PROVE IT! Whenever I "prove " things, you just silently fuck off after shouting around.
