Comment on Could you compress text files by mapping a word to how commonly it is used and translating it with an application?

  I figured that’s roughly how JPEGs work but I wasn’t sure how exactly text compression would work. Do you have any recommendations for videos on data compression?

    Jpeg compression is much more complex than what you described. I recommend this video as a primer: youtu.be/0me3guauqOU
