Oh no, not again. How many times is that now ?albert wrote:( !!~~ COMPRESSION SUCCESS ~~!! )

@Richard
Sorry for the false wolf cry...
I tried 1 , 10 , 2 , 20 and it doesn't compress.
It was compressing a couple hundred bytes each loop , because of the 0 , 10 , 2 , 20 ( "2" - "0" happens every so often.. and confuses "20" )
Back to the drawing board!!!!

Re: Squares
I was having a cuppa today in a local garden centre when I noticed one of our Scottish Labour Party MSP'S doing likewise.
We don't often see Parliamentarians here, we are a bit remote.
I didn't trouble the fellow of course, but I emailed his office tonight regarding the threatened woodland.
Maybe he has a connection with these parts, and if so, and his alarm bells ring, I might not be completely alone.
(Maybe too many if's)
Good luck Albert . . . carry on.

Can this be resolved?? A new compression method..
===================================================
n1 = "00000000" + bin( *usp ) : usp+= 1
n1 = right( n1 , 8 )
v1 = val( "&B" + mid( n1 , 1 , 4 ) )
v2 = val( "&B" + mid( n1 , 5 , 4 ) )
if v1 < v2 then v3 = ( v2 - v1 )
if v1 > v2 then v3 = ( v1 - v2 )
if v1 = v2 then v3 = 0
bits1+= hex( v1 )
bits1+= hex( v3 )
==================================================
Got to resolve the v3 issue... v2 - v1 or v1 - v2 ??
Compresses 100,000 bytes in , to 1,200 bytes out , 98% : After 100 loops...
Here's the "Test-Bed" where i write the decompression..

I got it almost returning correct answers...
You got to adjust the val1 ( answer ) to equal "v2"
I was trying logic , to try to figure out when to add and when to subtract.. ( no luck!! )

I found a flaw in my method....
if you have a 5 , 0 then the output would be 5 , 5
if you have a 5 , 10 then the output would be 5 , 5
So : i got to make it go by 6 bits , and add 1 to every number , so we can't have a 5 , 0

I converted it to 6 bits input... I got it returning correct , about 80% of the time....
==================================
v1 = val( "&B" + mid( n1 , 1 , 3 ) ) + 1
v2 = val( "&B" + mid( n1 , 4 , 3 ) ) + 1
if v1 < v2 then v3 = ( v2 - v1 )
if v1 > v2 then v3 = ( v2 )
if v1 = v2 then v3 = 0
bits1+= hex( v1 ) + hex( v3 )
==================================
Got to get "val1" to equal "v2"
Still compresses 100,000 bytes by 98% after 100 loops...Takes about 8 to 10 seconds

Getting closer!!!
It's returning correct in all cases , except for when v2 = 8
How would you handle the case of v2 = 8 ???
Here's your Zlib doing the compression... Compresses 87% after 100 loops... Takes ~16 seconds

Never mind!!
It can't be resolved.. All you have is v1 and 0..
You can't tell if 0 is supposed to equal v1 or 8... you have to guess...and guessing between 2 values can't be resolved...
I got to figure out how the Space Aliens , compress data....

Re: Squares
Why, maybe they have unlimited storage. Maybe to have invented time-travel, so they can just delete data and go back in time to retrieve it. The ultimate Wayback Machine.albert wrote:I got to figure out how the Space Aliens , compress data....
Re: Squares
Data is a human concept.
For instance navigators use an ephemeris, the projected trajectories (positions of celestial bodies) including now satellites.
Also tables of tides, currents.
Each year new data is published, in book form or digital form of one kind or another.
We need the travel data because we are not designed for travel.
But the albatross, a much superior traveller than us, seems to need nothing.
Recently (a few hundred years) we started keeping records, hard copies on paper or vellum i.e. data
Now that era has finished and our records (data) is now stored on a magnetic or silicon medium, which has a very short lifespan.
So the moment we cease updating our data it will be all lost within a short time (50 years?), whether compressed or not.
So what form are these space aliens, more human like than albatross like?
I would really like to think they are more of of the bird brain variety.

Re: Squares
That is an easy question. They store information on the event horizon surface of Black Holes as a hologram. As the information crosses the event horizon, it's passage is recorded in the event horizon surface by the strings that form the information. The surface has zero thickness, so one physical dimension is removed. In effect, as it has the dimension removed, the volume of information is compressed infinitely, to an area with zero volume. Everything consumed by a black hole is recorded in it's event horizon by the strings connected to the compressed information.Albert wrote:I got to figure out how the Space Aliens , compress data....

@Richard
The Alien Orbs , at the center , was a small 2 inch diameter sphere..
The sphere was like a Rubik's cube.
The section bands , were rotating around horizontally and vertically as it was talking...
They could speak in any Alien or Earth language..
Plus they had multi-colored lasers and could light up in any color...And output lasers in any color...
They were making rainbow circles on the ground..
And when i walked through , one of the rainbow circles , i turned and looked down and my footprints were glowing in a turquoise color..
They were heat-mapping my footprints and lasering them out in a color....
To do all they could do , would require data compression , to hold all that info in a small 2 inch sphere.... plus the batteries , motors and lasers...
