From this article:
More empirically, Shannon's lower estimate suggests that humans might be able to compress enwik9 down to 75MB, and computers some day may do better.
- AnotherGoodName 3y agoThe current best compresses it to <15MB because it's not a human which that example is referring to. :)
- userbinator 3y agoThat's enwik8. enwik9 is an order of magnitude larger.
- londons_explore 3y agoNotable that enwiki8/9 isn't really just human text - a good ~half of the data is random xml markup which may not have the same properties as text.
