AVIF, the next-gen image format, offers dramatic file size reductions—compress a 100kb JPEG down to just 8kb without losing quality! That’s over 90% reduction! 📉

✅ Why AVIF?

• Superior Compression: Boost loading times.
• Maintained Quality: Keep visuals crisp.
• Wide Support: Compatible with most modern browsers.

🌐 Embrace AVIF to enhance site speed and cut bandwidth costs. Your SEO and user experience will thank you!

➡️ Switch to AVIF for a leaner, faster website!

I am pleasantly surprised to find it is now supported across all the major browsers which got me excited to make this post. src: https://caniuse.com/?search=avif

Text Compression Gets Weirdly Efficient With LLMs

It used to be that memory and storage space were so precious and so limited of a resource that handling nontrivial amounts of text was a serious problem. Text compression was a highly practical app…

Lossy GIF compressor

We then investigated two #LossyCompression strategies: bit truncation and WavPack Hybrid mode. Lossy compression can dramatically boost compression performance, but we must first assess how it affects downstream analysis (i.e., spike sorting).

(5/n)

We use the Fast Fourier Transform (#FFT) #algorithm to do #LossyCompression for things like images (e.g. jpeg). Most of the information is dropped and only the most important information is retained, which when reversed provides a noisy but recognisable version of the original image.

If this happens with a simple matrix of multi-dimensional vectors (e.g. a bitmap) could it not also be done with word embeddings like #word2vec to perform lossy compression on text? Is this a thing?
