The page says:

> For better results, increase the population size to 500-1000 and wait for 50-100 generations

Do you have example output from that? I'd expect my computer to take months of running 24/7 to get there.

Yes, you may press the "Restore Evolution" button (at the bottom of the screen) and then upload the pre-saved training checkpoints from here https://github.com/trekhleb/self-parking-car-evolution/tree/...

You may also press the "Restore Evolution" button and then press "Use demo checkpoint" to use some pre-trained data.

Does each visitor submit their dna back to the server? Using the power of the web this allows you to have as many "cores" as you have visitors, and train massively parallel!

Currently all calculations are happening in user’s browsers - no sending to the backend.
