A problem with all such compression algorithms is that the "universe of knowledge" (so to speak) is continually expanding - just as creation-denialists would have us all believe. But seriously, knowledge does, over time, continue to expand, f.e. the ever increasing ways n.ggers say "shet" - it's an exponential increase in ways, and the knowledge of these ways is therefore also on an exponential increase trajectory - so 500 GiBs, today, will be lucky to fit into 5,000 GiBs me dats, this time next year!

AI: Hutter Prize for Compressing Human Knowledge 1G to 115M = €500k
http://prize.hutter1.net/ Hutter Prize for Compressing Human Knowledge This compression contest is motivated by the fact that being able to compress well is closely related to acting intelligently, thus reducing the slippery concept of intelligence to hard file size numbers. In order to compress data, one has to find regularities in them, which is intrinsically difficult (many researchers live from analyzing data and finding compact models). So compressors beating the current "dumb" compressors need to be smart(er). Since the prize wants to stimulate developing "universally" smart compressors, we need a "universal" corpus of data. Arguably the online encyclopedia Wikipedia is a good snapshot of the Human World Knowledge.

on the pain rebuilding US industry - MishTalk snowflake decries lack of USA industrial steel production "instant rebuild/restart"
An important virtue today is to demonstrate virtuosity by ceaselessly complaining about the lack of instant gratification, because complaints and whining are the only way that a solid national or community foundation is built. Some snowflakes, such as Mike Shedlock (is that even a real name? sounds suspicious) of MishTalk, seem to think that rebuilding a national (say, steel) industry the size North America needs, should take no more than a year, two years tops, and a few import tarriffs. You see, snowflakes can't handle even the smallest sacrifice, shared responsibility, or long term planning - such concepts are anathema to the snowflake who melts to the cryptonite of even the smallest delay to instant gratification.

Trump's Tariffs Backfire Trump had a plan to Make America Steel Great Again. ... Classic, pathetic snowflakery! "Oh gee, in 18 months we didn't get (FAILED!) multi grades bulk steel slab industrial production -competition- started just yet, let's immediately give up on rebuilding USA steel industry!"

Ireland’s status as “a vital telecommunications and logistics hub linking North America and Europe” has made it an irresistible prize to “the Putin regime,” according to a bizarre paper published on Wednesday by the Center for Security Policy, a right-wing think tank. Russia isn’t just lusting after Ireland’s burgeoning crop of tech firms, or its forest of undersea communications cables, the group argues – it’s actively plotting to invade the Emerald Isle.

I debunked that bullsh*t story here. https://t.co/ZH7JEcyIVC — Bryan MacDonald (@27khv) February 20, 2020 The unhinged plot apparently derives from a story published last weekend in the Irish Times, which warned – citing the usual anonymous sources in the Garda and the military – that Russian spies were observed last year mapping out the precise location of the transatlantic ocean-bed cables that form the backbone of global communications in preparation for “future tapping or even damage.” While that gripping saga could be deflated with a quick look at one of Ireland’s own government websites, which posts the exact latitude and longitude of those cables for all to see, it clearly lit a fire under the senescent Cold War hawks at the CSP. ...
