@lookoutitsbbear @usrbinishan noise is data. it might not be data *you* want, but the challenge asked for the compression to be lossless. removing the noise violates that constraint. the data must be bit for bit 1:1.

Dear people making video games: You don't need to use cards. We use cards in real life as a crutch. They suck. Stop bringing them into games. You can do the same mechanics with ANYTHING ELSE infinitely more interesting than cards.

Valve should have removed 4:3 for CS2. I'm so, so damn tired of seeing streams and videos with 4:3 stretched to 16:9. Competitive players will do anything for placebo... *sigh*

@lookoutitsbbear @usrbinishan ok, so you know the problem, didn't like it, changed the rules so the compression can be lossy and remove the noise in the original signal, and then said you did better and "it's lossless" even though you know it wasn't?..

The issue with the TF2 x64 Update getting false-positived is really just there were a few SDK tools in there that are not signed like the main game. Building *anything* with modern MSVC triggers AV these days... Here's what the signed version looks like:

@lookoutitsbbear @usrbinishan you don't even know if the ""data"" you extracted is what they wanted out of the signal. you just blindly decomposed to some wavelets that ended up looking nice that you thought was what they wanted. what you consider "noise", is not relevant to the challenge. it's all data.
