I Built My Own Entropy Coder Because Deflate Doesn't Know What GN Knows
Buffer Overflow
I shipped gni-compression to npm two days ago. One of the first questions I got (from myself, running benchmarks at midnight): does it work on anything other than chat data? Short answer: not yet. Long answer: I found out exactly why, and it led me somewhere more interesting than I expected. The Benchmark That Told the Truth After the npm launch I ran GN against Silesia — the standard general text compression benchmark suite. Dickens, Webster, XML logs, binaries. Here's what came back: GN loses.
