I guess there are two kinds of magic. There is the magic of Fourrier which is lossy with funny math. But it is understandable that one can get higher compression ratios when it’s lossy. But I find it even more magic that we can still find better ways to encode images losslessly. I would have thought we had already long found the optimal way

Compression algorithms are magic. Especially lossless compression.

Actually, archive is better to read imo. But using a swiss media is maybe cooler too

My feel from switzerland is that the reaction is extremely muted. I don’t think this will be what pushes us to drop the F35. It is quite outrageous how reverent our government is in front of the US…
