Congrats on the launch! I'm probably just missing it as I only know enough python to be dangerous, but where can I find your MoA implementation in the source code? The write up [0] sounds really useful, and says it's open source,

Waze is about minimizing drive time for the locally for the individual, but that's at odds with minimizing drive time globally. This seems to be about optimizing flows globally, and there's a feedback loop between Google maps and

All fair points. Phones have 120fps displays, but obviously can't run much at that rate. Some web pages, basic note taking, etc. But pretty much anything 3d is 30-60fps. Consoles, hand helds usually aim for 30+ Real time rendering, vid

To their point, 30 fps is commonly acceptable, in which case you're spending 7-14ms on this, and 26-19ms on everything else. You can also use frame gen cheat 30 fps back up to 60 if one is so inclined.

I suspect that most of the devices you'd expect to find in your consumer cluster are too small/slow to saturate the link. Edit: it's also a matter of scale. You probably have a small number of small/slow devices in a con

If you don't need cryptography secure rngs, PCG is pretty cool. It's pretty straightforward and builds off basic primitives, but the results has some neat qualities/features if you find you need them. E.g. People often find t

I agree with the GP here. Yes, you can do all this with just FFMPEG, but now you have to wade through all the docs, flags, values to craft your CLI args with a bit of trial and error. The value add here is a coherent front-end that abstract
