The point of the parent system is to prevent knowledge from being lost to humanity. It encourages disclosure on how unique and novel things work in return for a limited monopoly. If inventions were not patented then we can lose the ability to make them, which isn’t as insane sounding as you might expect.

Preserving this knowledge for the future of humanity is critical.

I mean, they’re using knn underneath. You can apparently get 97% accuracy with normal knn, at n=4 if you compare pixel distance.

So another way to frame this might be that gzip costs a lot of accuracy but may lead to better performance.

The Midwest would be great. It’s right next door and the largest piece of arable land in the world.

Not to comment on the rest of the comment, but apparently the Economist is not right leaning? Do you have a source for that? https://www.allsides.com/news-source/economist
