... as long as you don't need to decompress it, or use it in any way
<mei[m]>
it would make a cool high-entropy image to scroll across the screen!!
<galibert[m]>
The other name for "high entropy image" is "noise"
<mei[m]>
okay but calling it that doesn't make for a good joke so
<galibert[m]>
true
<galibert[m]>
Not even a joke, do you know how a rng is called in the synth domain?
<mupuf>
Wanda[cis]: Do you know the size of the DB as shipped by lattice?
<mupuf>
in any case, wow! congrats!
<Wanda[cis]>
hm
<Wanda[cis]>
272MB apparently
<mupuf>
ROFL
<Wanda[cis]>
they don't use compression though, so it's kinda cheating
<Wanda[cis]>
well. only a little. you should, in fact, use compression.
<mupuf>
that's still a 100x factor at least
<mupuf>
agreed, their choice/
<mupuf>
now P&R in 1.44MB to fit on a floppy 🤣
<galibert[m]>
they call it sample&hold :-)
<Wanda[cis]>
the thing is, I'm not trying to optimize database size on-disk, per se
<Wanda[cis]>
the thing I actually want to optimize is the amount of crap in generated documentation that you have to read through if you want to understand how this device works
<Wanda[cis]>
the deduplicated database is a side-effect of this goal.
