You accused me of an ad-hom when calling you out for labeling anyone who questions core as an uninformed fool. Yet you still failed to adress any technical issues raised. I'd class responding to a post with less than usefull content as a form of trolling. Its a matter pf perspective.
I said no such thing. This is the classic manipulation from forkers. You manipulate things so that they suit your arguments. You have raised no technical issue, you have just linked to an article that someone else wrote.
I [..] am definitely more informed than people of your caliber
I think this statement summarizes your attitude perfectly.
My attitude is rational. People who resort to ad hominem deserve nothing better.
Interestingly you've changed the direction of the discussion towards attacking me. I'd be glad if we could avoid these childish acts and move on. However if this isn't the case, then I won't respond to your input anymore.
If a computer can handle compressed data with virtually no lag, then perhaps there can be a positive spillover effect to the network itself by the transmission of compressed data packages which are compressed/decompressed in realtime by the GPUs for near-zero lag. I think harnessing GPU power is definitely something worth exploring for future scaling, in more than one ways.
No. The data transmitted is mostly random and compressing random data has only a negligible benefit and even sometimes gets you the opposite of the desired result (compressed data ends up being larger).
