This is of course a joke, but most compression competitions include the size of the decompressor.

- imoverclocked 6y agoTrivially, it's effectively 0 for LenPEG 3. Answering this for LenPEG4 may be NP-complete. Any significant research into answering it for 4 is bound to drive up AMZN in the short term due to the inevitability of using all of S3's available space. Maybe the better question is, "how long can on-disk compression protect humanity from LenPEG 4?"
- frutiger 6y ago> Trivially, it's effectively 0 for LenPEG 3. I don’t think so? The decompressor needs to have a copy of the image to display if it goes to step 1 of its decompression algorithm.
- recursive 6y agoI agree with you, but the other interpretation is that you could measure after it deletes itself.
- frutiger 6y agoOne could also measure their body weight after they step off the scales but it wouldn’t be a particularly meaningful number.
- imoverclocked 6y agoIf you step back on after running, you can figure out roughly how much water you need to replenish; Perhaps both numbers are useful? When LenPEG 3 is done running, it doesn’t consume any space. Perhaps the first measurement is just considered as runtime overhead.
