alt Hacker NewsSomewhat related is stavros's method to compress 500KB to something like 50 bytes https://www.stavros.io/posts/compressing-images-with-stable-...
main drawback is that it's not lossless ;-)
but this is great. I hope this actually becomes a format that wraps the weights and transformer module (maybe this can also be NAS-optimized too?). Maybe it would even work for video?
It's like calling gzip but instead of compression level you choose kolmogorov complexity level

While clearly satirical, it's definitely quite thought-provoking from various angles including the basis of information, representation of data, and even copyright. It's like watching a movie, writing a book based on it, and then making another movie based on that book.

Just amazing, wow
