I recall doing a rather large technical case for using raft and a replicated log for water industry back in 2017 it must have been.

That's from knowing nothing about the shape of consensus algorithms to almost getting one adopted.

To me Raft's brilliance is how easy, clear and comprehensible they made thinking about it.

You'd be surprised what's in there, a few forms of NNs are already supported for denoising, speech detection.

I think having this flow out to all of the deps of libav is a greater good than notions of lib purity.

More precisely libavfilter, so it's also soon in mpv and other dependent players.

This is going to be great for real-time audio translation.

The fact that you think it was suggested _by_ them is I think where your mental model is misleading you.

LLMs can be thought of metaphorically as a process of decompression, if you can give it a compressed form for your scenario 1 it'll go great - you're actually doing a lot of mental work to arrive at that 'compressed' request, checking technical feasibility, thinking about interactions, hinting at solutions.

If you feed it back it's own suggestion it's no so guaranteed to work.
