TheScoob··on Free Compressor Written by Claude Out-Squeezes the Giants: ZSTD, Gzip and, Bsc
On compression ratio the two are neck and neck, and BWTSorter is narrowly ahead when both use the same block size. bzip3 is about five times faster. I built bzip3 1.5.5 from its GitHub source and ran it single-threaded on the same Silesia files as before.

No, it does not use any of BZip3's code.

Okay, will do next time. My apologies.
TheScoob··on Sherlock – Financial Crime Analytics
A transaction-analysis assistant for investigating online financial crime: investment scams, romance scams, authorised push payment (APP) fraud, account takeover and money-mule networks.

Load bank or payment-provider exports and Sherlock will:

rank the accounts that behave like mules or collection accounts;

pick out the accounts that look like victims, for safeguarding; follow a victim's money forward to where it sits now;

produce reports and graph exports for case files.

It is a single Java file with no dependencies.
