But there is no fixed input-to-output mapping in current popuular LLMs.

You mean "corporate inference infrastructure", not LLMs. The reason for different outputs at t=0 is mostly batching optimization. LLMs themselves are indifferent to that, you can run them in a deterministic manner any time if you don't care about optimal batching and lowest possible inference cost. And even then, e.g. Gemini Flash is deterministic in practice even with batching, although DeepMind doesn't strictly guarantee it.

This is all currently irrelevant, making it work well is a much bigger problem. As soon as there's paying demand for reproducibility, solutions will appear. This is a matter of business need, not a technical issue.


Why do I prefer app:

- just click on the icon, no need to type to address bar or search in bookmarks list

- faster to load - no need to download JS/CSS, also my credentials are remembered so no need to login

- biometric login, no 2FA (finance apps, etc.)

- notifications and their customization (browsers only have on/off)

Why do I prefer mobile web:

- I need multiple instances (tabs) of the website

- I need to know URL of the specific page


Java and VirtualBox. But both are free.


Sort of. The VirtualBox Extension Pack is free for personal or educational use. It is explicitly not free for work use[0]. You can download it for free, but accepting the license to do so obligates you to pay them for it.

"Updated: Microsoft has done a 180. Following backlash from developers, GitHub has removed Copilot's ability to stick ads - what it calls "tips" - into any pull request that invokes its name."


comparing to Node, .NET is batteries included: built-in Linq vs needing lodash external package, built-in Decimal vs decimal.js package, built-in model validation vs class-validator & class-transformer packages, built-in CSRF/XSRF protection vs csrf-csrf package, I can go on for a while...


"You don't know what to say. That's fine."

Well if I don't know what to say, I either don't start a conversation or I can use some opener like "How are you?" and then end the conversation (because I don't know what to say). But then what is the point?


That's fine.

I hope Iran government will finally fall, and those 30,000 dead Iranians will get at least proper burials. And that war won't spread into other countries like yours.


the iranian people are not their government. never were. i have met iranians, i have broken bread with them, they are warm and brilliant and tired. so tired. they deserve better than what they have been handed. i hope for the same thing. i hope this doesn't spread and thank you my friend


How did you solve problem, when your emails are put into spam folder in gmail?


I haven’t used gmail. No idea about the problem.


Unless you develop games in Unity, and have banned C# features like classes or LINQ (because they allocate on heap and Unity garbage collector is bad and make your game to micro freeze / stutter). Sure there are cases where classes are fine (singletons, pooling), but still...
