Chapter 1687: Compression and encryption

The method of compressing data, in a nutshell, is to replace long bytes with shorter bytes.

This is not just about shortening it casually. While compressing, it must also be able to be restored without loss. Failure to do this is an unqualified compression method. To do this, of course, we must have a reliable encryption and decryption method.

Therefore, compression and encryption may seem unrelated, but they are essentially the same thing.

The difference is that compressed packets can only be used for storage, and the compressed files cannot be used directly. Therefore, you can only consider the capacity issue and shorten the encrypted byte characters as much as possible.

However, the encrypted file can be operated immediately as long as the decoding program is there, and it does not just need to be put aside like a brick. Moreover, the purpose of encryption is to protect privacy, so using different encryption methods, it is very likely that the file size will not become smaller, but will become larger.

What Lin wants to do now is actually to combine the advantages of the first two to make the data recorded by Kaleidoscope Magic smaller, but still make it accessible at any time to meet the program requirements of machine learning. On the contrary, privacy issues have become the least important aspect.

Designing such a method is not difficult for Lin now. He can even allocate part of the computing power to improve the data storage method while running the kaleidoscope magic.

However, this kind of magic is running while improving the stored data. Of course, the encrypted files cannot be distorted. So at the beginning, the data capacity reduction ratio was not much.

The first thing Lin had to do was to build a structure that combined data encryption methods with kaleidoscope magic.

Only when the architecture is stable and the data can be restored losslessly during decryption will it be necessary to conduct further research. That is, how to compress the data as much as possible to save more brain capacity.

Although you can squeeze out extra computing power to do such a thing, when you are distracted and doing both things, and neither thing is so easy, the cold emotions in your bones become even colder.

Lin didn't even notice that his own memories were being squeezed. Including the total of fifty years of life before and after the time travel, these memories have become extremely clear after my body and will have been strengthened several times.

Lin can compose the music and write down the words in his memory for songs he has heard even once. The books I have read, the newspapers I have glanced at, even if they are only briefly glanced in my eyes, I can now recall them without revealing any punctuation marks.

But these memories are fading. To erase completely and without leaving any trace from someone's mind. This is not to say that Lin's brain capacity has been fully occupied, but that his ideas have been inconsistent with reality from the beginning.

The brain is not a hard disk, there is no such thing as a magnetic sector, and there is no rule that says how many bytes can be stored in a magnetic sector. The brain can be said to be the most sophisticated organ in the human body. It not only integrates and manages all functions of the human body, but also has its own unique functions.

How much power the brain can exert involves a term that is constantly mentioned in many science fiction novels - brain development.

However, unlike what most people think, it is often said that only 10% of the human brain is functioning. It is not that only one-tenth of the entire brain is functioning.

Different parts of the brain manage different abilities. If only one-tenth of the body is functioning, it can be considered that nine-tenths of the human body is paralyzed. This certainly doesn't make sense.

The explanation that only 10% of the brain is functioning should be understood in the same way as a car or motorcycle engine. Once the car starts, the engine will of course start running, but the speed will only remain at idling speed.

Of course, all parts of the engine in this state are working, not just one-tenth of the engine. As long as you send more oil into the engine, you can increase the speed and make the engine output more horsepower until the speed reaches the limit of engine operation.

This is the truth about brain development, and it is also the reason why everyone’s intelligence is high or low.

Just like every normal person has arms, but different people have different strengths; people who have exercised will have greater strength than those who have not exercised. Everyone's muscles are functioning 100%, but different people's muscles have different upper limits.

In terms of memory, the process of improving the efficiency of the brain is not without cost. This is not a 1t hard drive that will automatically upgrade to a 2t or 3t hard drive without loss when it approaches the storage limit.

Replacing hard drives and moving data requires manual labor and time. When it comes to the brain, how can it be possible for someone to automatically upgrade easily?

It's just that the forgotten things are memories that someone doesn't think are important.

These memories that should have been sent to the depths of the subconscious, locked up and ignored, return to the surface and can be recalled at any time. Even if they return to the surface, it does not mean that their importance has increased.

In the process of upgrading the performance of someone's brain, it is also accompanied by deleting those unimportant things, freeing up more capacity to store newly added things. These are carried out together with improved storage data capacity.

It can be said that Lin is working on many aspects at the same time when it comes to brain capacity. It's just that not everything is under control. Some are done proactively, while others happen passively. Generally speaking, everything is developing in a good direction.

As for those forgotten memories, to be honest, even if someone knows that this is happening, they may not care, or even take action to stop it.

Forgetting part of it is nothing as long as it is not completely erased. In a normal life, who would clearly remember how old they were and still wet the bed?

Forgetting is a normal thing, but not forgetting is abnormal. Unless the person who wets the bed today is someone else, then it is worth remembering for a lifetime and being used to laugh at others from time to time.

And will those memories that we think are important also be forgotten? In fact, just by distinguishing the important from the unimportant in your own mind, you have already set the order in which these memories should be deleted.

Nothing that happens in the human body is random. The occurrence of every situation must have its cause and effect. Just like a disease, it is either caused by exposure to bacteria or viruses, or it has genetic congenital defects, or it is caused by certain chemicals and body hormones that stimulate cell mutation.

So there is no need to worry about whether those important and precious memories will be inadvertently erased during this brain upgrade. As long as you think it is important, then these memories will remain until the end before your past is completely erased.

But that doesn’t mean you can be confident and let things develop naturally. Lin also took this opportunity to plan and organize his own memories. The memory palace method is one of the most famous.

Specifically, imagine your consciousness as a space that you are most familiar with, such as your own room, or the home where you have lived for a long time. Then associate each familiar action with a memory, such as what a cup of coffee in the morning represents.

A further improvement is the so-called memory library method. Sort out your memories and place them on bookshelves with different titles.

People who can do these things must have a certain level of logic, correlation and reasoning in order to be able to do it. But this kind of thing can be trained and does not completely depend on talent.

But with Lin's current ability, doing these sorting tasks is a piece of cake. I didn’t do it before, it’s just not necessary. What we are doing now is not only to meet the needs, but also to handle things together smoothly so that the results can be more satisfactory.

Otherwise, just by compressing the results of kaleidoscope magic, you should be able to achieve the effect someone wants, without necessarily having to work on your own memory. But since the purpose is to expand your brain capacity, there is no reason to organize one part and leave the other part scattered.

Working on brain capacity is far less difficult than initially thought.

Perhaps it is because someone's current body has long been out of the category of an ordinary person, and his mind and soul have also grown significantly with the help of the subdimensional tower. So as long as you think about how to use your body, the results will come naturally.

Therefore, the progress of data compression will soon advance to the topic of how to compress it into a smaller capacity.

But after all, compression is not the main purpose. These reduced-capacity data must be available for immediate use. Among the two conflicting topics of efficiency and compression ratio, how to achieve a moderate balance point has become someone's latest problem.

But when the compression ratio swung around the decimal point in order to take efficiency into consideration, Lin's main attention was attracted by what was being done on the other side. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

When the kaleidoscope magic manifests, it is really like the kaleidoscope I saw when I was a child, so weird, gorgeous, and so colorful. Lin realized that these color changes were not meaningless.

This is like my original idea for this subject, which was to design a language based on color.

Language, as a means of communication between people, must carry 'meaning' behind it.

This meaning may be artificially given, such as proper nouns such as the sun and the moon. It may also be a flat and straightforward feeling, such as coolness and wind blowing.

The science of color psychology is quite vague in its explanation of each color. Although a definition is given, the scope of the definition is very broad, and it is not as clear as the referential nature of normal language, so as not to be misunderstood.

However, when the colors were many and thin, and the changes had unique patterns like a kaleidoscope, Lin inexplicably felt that the kaleidoscope magic wanted to express something. Moreover, what I want to express has a corresponding relationship with the strange thing wrapped, as if there is a dialogue.

At this point, the interactive relationship between the kaleidoscope magic and the monster is no longer just one party inducing, the other party reacting, and moving in a certain direction together. Behind the scenes, there is a deeper meaning communicating.

Lin simply stopped using the computing power that had not made much progress on the storage capacity issue to explore what the kaleidoscope magic was saying to the monster.

I wanted to find out the answer to this question because Lin thought of a saying: Man follows the earth, earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and Tao follows nature.

Perhaps the truth that cannot be expressed in words is closer to the true natural way.
