It's funny but at the same time I do believe analyzing the lossy/lossless topology of compressors with data from various perspectives is important. My quote from another perspective in another thread: "lossy can be lossless but lossless can only be lossy when lossy is lossless..." was met with ridicule but it has a deeper meaning where there is at least one mathematical singularity in the universe of compressors where lossless is lossy but much overlap inversely. If one can imagine two spheres one lossy and the other lossless forming a capillary between them... ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T36c83eb0aa31fc55-M15ca78838583f43e004f109d Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
