@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.

@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.

If you think this, you have never developed an OS and had to solve this problem. The amount of displays there the top res + top refresh doesn't work due to bandwidth because bad cable, dsc memes, max pixel clock of active adapters or is some garbage 4096x DCI 4K garbage... argh!
