I suspect an April fools joke. In general, compression using PRNGs is not a thing. There might be a special exception for this case, but I somewhat doubt it. =

- _0ffh 2y agoI submit that there is no "compression into PRNG seeds" going on here. This is just a quantisation method that happens to leverage PRNs, which might have some specific advantages and disadvantages. What I am sure it does not do, is what it's title seems to claim, if taken literally. I suspect they're having a good laugh, getting away with what they must know is borderline trolling. I'm impressed!
