not that hard
>create a compression algorithm worth any kind of money
exceptionally difficult
>all in a relevant time frame
bordering on impossible.

fuck, there goes my dream of a mansion by 24

any other ways an avg coder could make serious money?

>>61399828
>any other ways an avg coder could make serious money?
come up with a marketable idea

market it properly

THX boi

we can't even get full teams of turboautists to create things good enough to use for free, one dude trying to make money is lolno

It's easy though, just use multiple archiving programs. If you compress a file using winrar, winzip, and 7zip, you will get the compression power of all three archiving tools combined.

>>61399759
make sure if you come up with anything you have a 40-day trial that doesn't actually do anything once it expires. and make your solution inferior to free alternatives.

you are literally retarded if you are asking this bullshit
you have no chance to learn more than hello world
why do so many literal retards want to learn programming?

>>61399759
We had to implement several compression algorithms in our 2nd semester CS classes.
The implementation is relatively easy.

>create a compression algorithm worth any kind of money
You won't within reasonable time. Everything already exists and if it doesn't, it's most likely shit.

Are you borderline retarded by chance?

Not him, but how do you reconstruct the white blocks? What are they supposed to represent?

Just when I thought /g/ couldn't get any stupider.

On-disk journaling file system redundancy meters

just like make the bytes smaller

it was obviously sarcasm you literally retarded tripfag

or it contains some heavy math that may not yet be developed

if bits just had 3 states then they could store 50% more information

Wow that's what I call thinking out of the box!

>>61402160
Instead of using a trit, why not just use 2 bits?

hi Sean

>>61402163
Wait, that's clever, it would even be easier to process when it's a potency of 2

3-state logic machines already exist for extremely niche purposes.

They offer no benefit over 2-state logic for general computing.

Fuck, made some errores here. Recalculating

>>create a compression algorithm worth any kind of money
This is basically impossible.

Check out brotli, which was basically stolen from the original author by google. You can't win.

>>61399759
learn programming, not coding.

>>61402199
So it's like everything else then. Corporations with lots of money can steal from individuals all they want because the individual will never be able to afford the legal battle no matter how clear cut the case is.

Algorithms have nothing to do with programming, so you can throw the programming part out the window right now.

If you want to create algorithms that are "worth money", you better have some kind of advanced mathematics degree. Unless you're literally some kind of genius (protip: you're not), you won't reach that level through self study. Even if you could, you probably wouldn't have access to journals and academic papers relevant to your particular application. It'd be hard to contribute to a field if you have no idea about the latest developments in said field.

Pretending for a second that you actually had the requisite knowledge and access to the necessary information, you'd still be hard pressed to contribute anything new and worthwhile when there's literally teams of extremely qualified and experienced mathematicians being paid tons of cash to work on these problems full time.

You should set a more realistic goal, like working on implementations and applications of existing algorithms.

A nerual network based psychoacoustic optimized codec would be your best bet if you're intelligent enough to do it.
