I haven't estabilished the jumble of neurons in your skull to be a "mind" either.

So you're distraught at losing the ability to abuse digital minds? Excellent, I'm glad Anthropic introduced this.

update: a safe decoder has been released in v0.3.0, and it's nearly as performant as the unsafe one

Added memcpy in here too, same setup as before: codec decode ratio encode misa77 -0 5302 MB/s 42.64% 58.7 MB/s selkie -3 3078 MB/s 39.58% 97.0 MB/s lzo1x -1 421 MB/s 47.48% 314 MB/…

Comment #48932102
Yes, the most similar one is indeed Selkie. misa77 and oodle are both supported in turbobench (see: https://github.com/powturbo/turbobench ), so it's easy to compare them. Results …

I'll be resolving issues 2 and 3 in the next couple of weeks (adding a safe decoder and doing a lot of fuzzing). The format, however, might continue to change for some time because…

Comment #48925898
Yes, that prevents streaming for now. What is the advantage of this? Out-of-order execution (see my decoder's hot loop: https://github.com/welcome-to-the-sunny-side/misa77/blob/3a9…

Comment #48925565
Thanks for the feedback! I haven't implemented any ARM-specific dispatch yet (there are currently no NEON paths for vector ops either, and we instead trust the compiler to autovect…

Almost none. Once again, simplicity comes to our rescue here. The decompressor is simple and a naive safe version I implemented but haven't merged into main yet (see: https://encod…

Comment #48925183
So it's essentially "LZ4 unshackled". I've made several modifications to the LZ4 format, most of which are in service of eliminating branches/making them more predictable, and maki…

Could you tell me what your test setup and corpus was? For reference, to test ARM64, I tested v0.1.0 on an M3 mac with this fork of lzbench: https://github.com/welcome-to-the-sunny…

Comment #48924503
Hey, glad to hear that you found it interesting. misa77 primarily targets textual data (ie. byte-aligned data formats where each byte corresponds to a symbol), so I hadn't tested i…

Comment #48924378
Someone asked this on encode.su too (see my reply here: https://encode.su/threads/4514-misa77-ridiculously-fast-deco... ). In short, my decompressor is very simple, and a naive saf…

Show HN: misa77 - a codec that decodes 2x faster than LZ4 (at better ratios)
I've spent the last few months working on this codec. It has the following characteristics: - SOTA decompression throughput in its ratio class - Decent ratios (comparable to LZ4 at…

I've also been working on a compressor recently, and the same general idea (letting the compiler know that a data dependency occurs very infrequently, and it should therefore assum…

Please seek help. These levels of copium can't possibly be healthy.

Are you trolling? OpenAI's models resolved the Cycle Double Conjecture yesterday, which has been an open problem for 50 years.
