      I am still waiting for Tom 7 to make dumb defragmentation algorithm that operates under assumption that hard drive spins backwards and tries to relocate all data accordingly, so hard drive platter needs to perform full rotation to read one sector.

  • @droko9
    @droko9 9 місяців тому +3887

    You could double the storage capacity by having the chip bags rotated up or down, so a chip bag up and forward would be 00 and a chip bag upside-down and facing backwards would be 11

    • @riley1636
      @riley1636 9 місяців тому +536

      You could also use the number of chip bags to store some information too. This would not compress the physical work required, but it would compress the physical space on the shelves that it takes up.

      "Hello World" or "01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 00100000 01010111 01101111 01110010 01101100 01100100" in chipbags would be as follows
      "FUFDBDFD FUFDFUFU FUFDBUFD FUFDBUFD FUFDBUBU FDBDFDFDFD FUFUFUBU FUBDBUBU FUBUFDBD FUBDBUFD FUBDFUFD"
      to show the compression i will ( ) each pair of letters that represent a single state of a chipbag.
      "(FU)(FD)(BD)(FD) (FU)(FD)(FU)(FU) (FU)(FD)(BU)(FD) (FU)(FD)(BU)(FD) (FU)(FD)(BU)(BU) (FD)(BD)(FD)(FD) (FU)(FU)(FU)(BU) (FU)(BD)(BU)(BU) (FU)(BU)(FD)(BD)
      (FU)(BD)(BU)(FD) (FU)(BD)(FU)(FD)"
      just doing this cuts the bags of chips needed in half. this does not account for the optimization he did in the video.

    One big problem with using a huffman tree for storing such a short string is that you need to store the tree itself, otherwise it won't make any sense and won't be decodable. Since only a few characters in the string actually repeat, the number of bags you'd need to flip would actually be greater than if you just stored it in plain text.

      You could theoretically install doom if you used the chip isle in every Walmart in the US I looked it up the original doom is 2.39 MB. So we have to get a bit creative here. I saw one of the top comments on this video suggesting the storage capacity could be doubled if the bag could be rotated on its sides as well. So this would bring our total storage capacity to 1.2 megabytes. In order to up our storage to have doom we may have to also use the cookie isle. Assuming we use a similar system to the chip isle and the cookie isle stocks a similar amount of cookies and we are to use the same system of both rotating the cookies on an axis and using the front and back of the package we could theoretically up the Walmart chip and cookie storage to 2.4 megabytes leaving us with enough space to install doom with 0.1 megabytes leftover. As for actually playing it I don't know I didn't think that far ahead.

    the pringles plant produces more than 1 billion cans of pringles per year, if every pringles can is rotated by some random number, there is a solid probability that at least one cans rotation could be decoded into a playable game or readable text file. Think of how many times over hello world mustve been written by pringles cans

      yes, but this isn't a long enough text to be compressed if you also store the tree. Longer texts get compressed enough that you can store the tree too and still have a smaller file, but here if he were to store the tree, it would be longer than 88 bits
