I hope you've got a spare 190GB kicking about for God Of War Ragnarok on PC

  The library of Alexandria supposedly contains some 13 to 15 GB of data.

    Now I’m interested in a source for that.

    How did they come up with that measurement?

    I’m assuming text would use Unicode so that they could capture more letters/symbols for different languages?

    Also, are they including maps/images using 4k resolution images?

    Are they re-rendering any statues/artworks as 3D models?

      They don’t need to use unicode, because it’s just an estimate of containing “information”. It doesn’t matter what language it’s in or which encoding we chose. It’s not an exercise in optimization

      Why would they store 4k. They aren’t trying to store a high quality historical copy. The average drawing of those days would be estimated to an equivalent image in a book or other media. 4k is not the average.

      Storing information this way is not relevant, it’s not an exercise in optimization, and doesn’t help make the study representative or meaningful. If you google this you’ll find how they estimate it. It won’t focus on the computer science of it.

  What’s compression?

  As a ps5 player, it’s worth it. If you liked the last one, you’ll like this one.
