These Engineers Just Built Their Own “Pied Piper” Compression Algorithm A team of engineers at Dropbox’s Hack Week re-created the fictional compression schema from HBO’s Silicon Valley.

A group of MIT researchers believe they’ve found a way to speed up audio, video, and image compression by improving on the Fourier Transform. They say the new algorithm is up to ten times faster ...

Claims of smart algorithms and 65% compression remain unverified and need independent testing The software mimics top file managers but adds a price tag where others are free ...
