iced quinnsmas :blobcatsanta: (icedquinn@blob.cat)'s status on Saturday, 21-Dec-2024 17:06:49 JST iced quinnsmas :blobcatsanta: @crunklord420 i spent a little while reading up on some of the algorithms and implementations. lzma's main contribution it turns out is something called 'optimal parsing,' where it basically does some minorly more elegant than brute force code checking because sometimes stringing together a couple individually suboptimal codes is more globally optimal, but is why its slow as shit
zstd's main contribution is basically arithmetic coding (i think collet uses his own form of rANS or something similar to this) which squeezes out a little more than huffman (zip, lzma) at the expense of having a lot of performance bottlenecks
apparently RoLZ followed by huffman is like, pareto optimal in that the whole system is some 1,000 SLOC and is within a few percent of either, lmao -

then you realize the controller's websites have passwords like trumpputin, hunter2, and canada is having to rob civilians for guns because the nato stockpiles actually don't exist

oh lol. i really should do the penance to update lineage on that thing.
it stopped auto updating because i'm supposed to upgrade the firmware and that requires doing some fuck-around with heimdal -
