Tldr: It's just better compression

Shitty tech company catches up to modern standards. In other news, water is what makes things wet.

Yeah, but with our cutting edge AI model we can disrupt the wet market by leveraging hydrofoil effects on molecular clusters to provide pervasive distribution of fluids. All powered by AI blockchains in the cloud.

Clearly didn’t read the article. Also discord has consistently posted fantastic tech blogs and led the industry in certain segments, no matter if you hate their locked ecosystem or not. This is a programming forum, at least read the article and discuss its merits.

Still interesting. zstandard using pretrained dictionaries (zstd --train). Previously they used zlib.

Does anybody know if you can pretrain dictionaries for 7zip for large ebook libraries? Or any better compression library for text?
