        You can get even lower! hello world in 512 bytes:

        AEAABAADAAEAAAAFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEAAAAAAAAAAQAAAAAAA1QAAAAAAAADVAAAAAAAAAAAQ
        AAAAAAAAAQAAAAYAAADYAAAAAAAAANgQQAAAAAAA2BBAAAAAAAAOAAAAAAAAAA4AAAAAAAAAABAA
        AAAAAAC4AQAAAL8BAAAASL7YEEAAAAAAALoOAAAADwW4PAAAAEgx/w8FAAAASGVsbG8sIFdvcmxk

        ANgQQAAAAAAA2AAAAAAAAAAOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEAAAADAAAA
        AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOYAAAAAAAAAFwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=
