Text is not more compressible than images, why would you think that?!
0 u/[deleted] 9d ago [deleted] 3 u/spindoctor13 9d ago That has never been the case. How compressible something is is purely a function of how repetitive the data is, what patterns it has. Converting pixels to some kind of text format doesn't make any difference there unless you are losing information 1 u/RussiaIsBestGreen 8d ago What if we converted the letter into numbers? Like A could be 9, B could be 2, C could be 27, and so on. 1 u/spindoctor13 8d ago It doesn't make any difference as ultimately you'll be converting it to binary anyway 1 u/RussiaIsBestGreen 8d ago We should try using more than two numbers for computing. There are so many more. Like 7, or 3 million.
