RAG is needed for the same reason you don't `SELECT *` all of your queries.

Please pardon my ignorance...

My understanding is that there are 1000s of different compression algorithms, each with their own pros/cons dependent on the type and characteristics of the file. And yet we still try to pick the "generically best" codec for a given file (ex. PNG) and then use that everywhere.

Why don't we have context-dependent compression instead?

I'm imagining a system that scans objects before compression, selects the optimal algorithm, and then encodes the file. The selected compression algorithm could be prefixed for easy decompression.

Compare a single black image that's 1x1 to one that's 1000x1000. PNGs are 128bytes and 6KB, respectively. However, Run Length Encoding would compress the latter to a comparable size as the former.

That's an expensive boat.

If you believe in hegemony, it's reasonable to want one entity to have a better (more efficient) weapon.
