Like I said, probably full of shit, but I think of odd stuff in the shower. With really, really huge (like the aforementioned 7GB) numbers, you might see something better, sort of how there's a point with most compression methods that the header is bigger than the data being compressed. Kinda doubting it now, though.
I wrote a little Python program that lets you try it with an arbitrary integer. It assumes that for instances where you have to lay out a zero that you need one bit (for 0). This times out quickly if you use too big of a number, but you can play around with integers here: http://codepad.org/4mnHI9E3 Based on what I see, it compresses poorly at the beginning and then reaches parity. At 1,000,000 (tested on my machine,…
I think what made me think of it in the first place was the representation of the largest known primes (http://primes.utm.edu/largest.html#biggest)
The current largest prime is (2^57885161)-1, which is 17,425,170 digits, yet can be represented with much less, obviously.
Maybe adding exponents would help. aX^n + b, perhaps?

Given the ground breaking nature of this "technology" you'd expect a "best in show award"

I'm all for teenage entrepreneurship and research but... this honestly sounds like the fellow who reads a single computer science text books then has all the answers to those silly issues that have been facing humanity for eternity. Perhaps he found a way to encode data in neutrons ala Diaspora?
Neutrons, Diaspora? Do you mean the social network? Don't get that, can you explain?
In diaspora, a novel by Greg Egan that I'd heavily recommend if you like insane physics in the post singularity world, an incredible amount of data is encoded onto a single neutron which can then be decoded at realtime. We're talking about Terabytes of data at the minimum on a neutron.
I love scifi and its crazy ideas.

#45"Born in 1999, Nicolas Dupont is currently a high school student attending a prominent Preparatory School in Central Florida. This young prodigy, founder of Cyborg Industries, will be unveiling his four groundbreaking innovations during his unique session at Techweek LA. These innovative inventions will launch the start of a new era in computing, and will offer instantaneous data transfer, limitless data compression,…
Just the right age to be a child of 4chan. This is obviously trolling.

#48Such kind of jokes isn't completely useless if recall "Noise level" by Raymond Jones )
By the way the most unrealistic promise is compression of congress library, because the data is determined.
If kind of video or audio data is not determined (it may be year of black screen or zooming in-out mandelbrot) limitless compression rates is possible.

#49It's interesting that his claim on possible bitrate for wireless is 10^55000 bits per second while the cable bitrate is 10^54000 bits per second. Wonder what he actually talked about at techweek and if anyone bought it.
I do believe that the refraction rate is higer in glass than in the air? Am I wrong?
Also as you know radio wave is an electromagnetic wave, and therefor it travels at the speed of light. The refraction is higher in glass then air ...

hahaha, fun how this thread turns out. But keep in mind: Using R/G/B Lasers won't increase the speed of light, so don't try to debunk BS with BS. I have read about an indian student 4y ago who invented a geometrical compression algorithm that could save about 80GB onto an image, the size of an A4 document. Never heard back from him
You mean this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Storage It does work, he just slightly overestimated the maximum density :) There is an open-source implementation ( http://ollydbg.de/Paperbak/ ) that stores ~3mb per page.
nice! thanks :)
