why is this amazing, it’s just a 1 bit lossy compression representation of the original information? If you have a vector in n-dimensional space this is effectively just representing the basis vectors that the original has.
You can take 8192 bytes of information (1024 x 32 bit floats) and reduce that to 128 bytes (1024 bits, a 64x reduction in size!) and still get results that are about 95% as good.
I find that cool and surprising.
