2026-03-31 10:47:01 Hey you know what's really cool 2026-03-31 10:47:40 You can make a .zip with the latest compression algorithms and it will still open with the oldest and crappiest .zip extraction programs, because the format's still the same 2026-03-31 10:47:46 But the .zip can still be a lot smaller 2026-03-31 11:19:57 Zip is the email of compression algorithms, in the sense that it is too wide spread to ever experience any kind of change ever again. 2026-03-31 11:28:23 Have also found it interesting analysing the relationship between text predicition and compression 2026-03-31 18:45:55 The container format might be the same, but for the program to actually unpack anything from a .zip file, it must implement the decompression algorithm for the compression used. ISO/IEC 21320-1:2015 only requires support for STORE (code 0) and DEFLATE (code 8) compression, and a .zip file containing anything else (bzip2, lzma, zstd - whatever) would not conform to that standard. 2026-03-31 21:04:54 i(v installed ollama on my vps :) 2026-03-31 21:23:58 i'm proud to annouce a new bot "ollama" with open source model on the channel #ollama
