Raffi Hotter on X: "200x compression is mathematically impossible for this data. Given the specs of Neuralink's chip, you cannot do better than 5.3x compression. Here's why 🧵 (1/10)"

200x compression is mathematically impossible for this data. Given the specs of Neuralink's chip, you cannot do better than 5.3x compression. Here's why 🧵 (1/10)

@felix_red_panda

Neuralink started a compression challenge. They're asking for people to find methods to losslessly (!!) compress files to 1/200th (!) the size but the files are extremely noisy so thats certainly not possible 🙁 (spectrogram of one randomly chosen file for illustration)
