gollark: Oh, someone not understanding half-life?
gollark: All the computing is offloaded to Google via a little-known feature in Google Sheets.
gollark: Ah, but I do, since I want to work out what the original *encoded* frame was and avoid having to lossily compress it again.
gollark: Oh, I don't actually *use* it, when I want to download a video I just copy down the values of each pixel in each frame and use z3 to work out what the frames must be.
