Reproducibility isn’t something that has been considered desirable in many pipelines until recent years.

Heck even ffmpeg introduce randomness when stitching together downloaded chunks from youtube. By design.

Reproducing a stationary probability distribution that subsequent runs draw from is also a kind of reproduction. And presumably for ffmpeg you can fix the random seed? Tell me more about that design, please.
