This is cool in it's own right but can they really call what they are doing "compression"? It seems more like synthesis to me.

- derefr 19y agoSynthesis is basically just a form of lossy compression (or lossless, if the original was synthesized as well, with a lesser or equivalent amount of entropy.) For one practical example, think of fractal compression of images--a series of mathematical equations are synthesized that just happen to best approximate the original image.
