Thanks for the reply. Actually, I took inspiration from several thecniques I learn since the 90's, when software had to be much more performatic to be possible.
The length:data pattern was inspiration from an old software to store Magic Cards database
The variable byte size for numbers is inspired in UTF encoding
And much other thecniques I was creating along the project.

I created a JSON codec called Bytery, which is about 10x faster and 10x smaller for storage and transport.It is not just an implementation; it is a full protocol that can be implemented in any language.The major gains in performance and size come from highly compact binary data formats: packing numbers into fewer bytes, avoiding repeated strings and schemas, and applying other low-level...
OpenAI has around 1 billion weekly active users, while Anthropic has around 130 million monthly active users. Most OpenAI users are free or lightweight users, while Anthropic users are mostly active and/or paying developers. But I think the user base is the most important thing, even free users. Look at Google, Microsoft, and all the other giants with large free user bases. It is not as if Anthropic is slowly absorbing OpenAI’s strength bit by bit.
That’s a tough one. Some say it will destroy cybersecurity; others say the Mythos numbers are misleading and cherry-picked just to attract more investment. I really don’t know what the truth is, because the Mythos case is not open to the public.
I am sure that there is a lot good material to take inspiration and learning even from the early Windows 3.11.
It is wonderful how early years of modern computing was brilliant. We treated machines as they really are: machines. Performance, creativity, science..., all possible to make a 386 machine work. Nowadays is all about libraries, virtualization, [bad] code over [bad] code over [bad] code..., I dont like it.
Actually, the internet has space for both. The problem is machines "acting like humans", that destroys the human experience. [machine <-> machine] is fundamental to keep the internet alive (services).
