"I'm demonstrating lossy compression," Sheldon said without looking up. "The x265 codec uses larger coding units and improved motion compensation to reduce bitrate by nearly 50% while maintaining perceptual fidelity."
Sheldon paused. That was the question his one-minute speech needed to answer. He couldn't just say because entropy reduction fascinates me . Normal people didn't find entropy reduction fascinating. Normal people found butterflies fascinating. Butterflies were inefficient. young sheldon s06e09 x265
"Today I learned that the universe’s most powerful compression tool is not x265 or even lossless ZIP archiving. It is empathy. To communicate with others, you must compress your truth into a shape they can hold. This is inefficient. It is also, regrettably, necessary." "I'm demonstrating lossy compression
