right now unseeded calls to e.g. `keras.random.uniform` are going to acquire static seeds at trace time. this has a few undesirable consequences:
1) subsequent calls will have the same randomness e…

The Venture source currently contains seven (!) Python classes whose name ends in the token `Args`:
