Patience. These kind of work is not worth for verbal readers, but for visual learners and visual creators this is very educative. It's a work of visual learner and these kind of work will not stop.

Yes. Modern computation is based on AI which is based on matrices which runs on GPU which does computation on graphical input. This work is a masterpiece for simple solutions for complicated computations.
