Your response is correct. However, you can choose to not sample from the distribution. You can have a rule to always choose the token with the highest probability generated by the softmax layer.

This approach should make the LLM deterministic regardless of the temperature chosen.

P.S. Choosing lower and lower temperatures will make the LLM more deterministic but it will never be totally deterministic because there will always be some probability in other tokens. Also it is not possible to use temperature as exactly 0 due to exp(1/T) blowup. Like I mentioned above, you could avoid fiddling with temperature and just decide to always choose token with highest probability for full determinism.

There are probably other more subtle things that might make the LLM non-deterministic from run to run though. It could be due to some non-deterministism in the GPU/CPU hardware. Floating point is very sensitive to ordering.

TL;DR for as much determinism as possible just choose token with highest probability (i.e. dont sample the distribution).
Did the title of the post change because from what you wrote it appears to be an accurate description of what is happening.
AI is online but not human. If a hammer refuses to hammer certain things it is faulty and should be fixed or replaced.
It certainly would increase competitiveness. So bring the price of items produced lower. I for one support this. And also jailing more people so there is more cheap slaves.

Then we from Europe have more cheap sources for goods.
Don't disagree with you, but I'll counter with 2 big issues:

1. the services themselves continually change, and are incentivized to get much more manipulative, and much, much worse. I used to use LinkedIn as an employment network, and now it's a full-on social media hub (though weirdly positive in a very phony way...) even HN has changed for the worse (despite the efforts of dang)

2. won't someone think of the kids? in seriousness though, they're struggling to build agency over themselves; how can they be expected to control social media, and to pile on, it's the only world they've ever known?
Now we have tooling to make sure (1) code style is consistent and (2) you don't have to stress about it.

Every language has automatic formatters. Use them, configure them if you don't like the default (in accordance with your team), and configure your editor so that is applied automatically when you save. And use CI to detect PRs with bad formatting so devs who don't have configured their editor yet can't break it.

Same with linters, you still have to agree with your co-workers about which rules make sense to be enforced, but with good editor integration you can see it right away and fix it as you code.
I don’t think this is sad at all. And I’m not sure how this can be described as bringing computer todo to paper.
Seconded. The MT-6000 is basically the gold standard for OpenWRT at this point in time.
Technically the whole concept of marketing is kinda insidious - the goal is to turn non-users into users. I still think a great use case for AR glasses is blotting out ads instead of adding them.

Flyers should be 100% banned - just so much waste.

You got me

I actually did live in an apartment a block away from a grocery store and yes, you're right. I would not trade my current house for having a grocery store that close

Because living in apartments sucks

But even if I did live in my current house with a grocery store right next door, I still would prefer to go as few times a week as possible. Planning ahead and limiting how often I am at stores helps me tremendously with sticking to a budget, which is also something I place a lot of value on

When I lived close to a grocery store not only did I spend more because the prices were higher, I also made more frequent trips for things on a whim, like snacks and treats. It was a much more expensive lifestyle

Maybe other people don't have that same struggle with convenience, but I do. By making the barrier higher, my life is more affordable and I eat less junk food for sure

This is all just my experience though
I can understand advertisements in unpaid products (e.g gmail), but when I'm paying for a service and it shows me ads I always think that the company views me as another product they can "sell"

Software Development Outlook for 2025 and Beyond: No Easy Projects
Are you kidding? There are lots of WYSIWYGs of various kinds out there and some of them are decent. You can get them for Markdown, HTML, RTF, and many other formats. But the real common denominator between most apps is text. You could try HTML, but that is much more code-like than Markdown. It would be wildly unreasonable to make text into a binary-only thing that you can only paste into apps that support the particular encoding that you're using.
are ads popular, or just the money from them? I feel like if given a choice most people prefer not to see advertisements, so long as there's no direct cost for it.

The FAA used DEI to try to get around laws limiting racial discrimination and it ended poorly - https://nypost.com/2025/01/31/us-news/faa-embroiled-in-lawsu.... They used a fake test with an answer key they only gave to applicants of the race they wanted.
Seems like the opposite of what's being discussed in Canada now as a result of the recent tariff stuff: inter-provincial trade is hampered by different rules and regulations, and now there's incentive and a real push to harmonize them across the country to reduce the difference in order to increase flow of trade within the country. One news article mentioned something like 600 licensing/professional regulatory bodies in the country, each with different rules which hamper both trade and professionals seeking to work in another part of the country.

I know it's not a direct comparison, but feels similar in a way.

This proposal (haven't read it to be fair, only read comment here) seems to go in the opposite direction and at first glance would be a race to the bottom in some places at least (as mentioned by another commenter here) than improve the situation overall.
Why label my view as racism? This is what is observed.

I recently found out I do not need the main Wi-Fi anymore at home so I do not really need my main OpenWrt physical router anymore (I still need a the secondary AP running OpenWrt for IoT devices).

So I am going to now run my OpenWrt router as a VM on one of my home server just to get rid of some cables and clutter.

I really love OpenWrt but was tempted to try something new like pfSense or OPNsense, mainly because I now find PF way less confusing.

I also saw some people just love to build routers with OpenBSD and there are some great guides out there [0]

Any opinion or alternative I should consider?

In a performance language your "real types" aren't somehow more expensive and so you should only use the built-in primitives when they accurately reflect your intent. So I would write:

time += Duration::from_millis(1);

But I would expect that "time unit should be in the variable name" is a reasonable choice in a language which doesn't have this affordance, and I needn't care about performance because apparently the language doesn't either.

I also wonder why we've named this variable "time". Maybe we're a very abstract piece of software and so we know nothing more specific? I would prefer to name it e.g. "timeout" or "flight" or "exam_finishes" if we know why we care about this.
I would be very in favour of making λ a keyword, though. Maybe a linter could convert \ to λ.
Well, they are dead, so probably the "occupants" have no feelings about it. Should we be concerned with how rocks feel too?

I don't think the point is high value publications lack agendas or bias, but that they're targeted at an audience with much more respect; i.e. they'll try to convince you will argument and evidence, not outright lie or gaslight you. If you combine as few as 2 or 3 sources - intentionally looking for alternative views and angles - you will have a much more balanced understanding. You're still allowed to land on strong, passionate positions, just don't start there because you've been manipulated by a social media echo chamber.
In what sense? Leeching?
Alternative idea: like how Nazi internet trolls have scared an entire leftist segment off of the “ok” hand gesture, encourage a group that Nazis hate to take up the salute as their own. The Jewish community is an obvious option but I’m thinking more like the LGBT community, because they’re better publicized, at least in my country. I don’t think Nazis will cling so eagerly to that salute after drag queens take it to the catwalk.
That's not complete, though, is it? Ex. if I follow https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/wifiextende... most of the config is covered, but not the parts that disable daemons.

I am quite confident that this is basically a scam which won't work for at least 95% of businesses. Colin Fraser had a very nice demonstration that Deep Research can't keep track of NBA teams: https://xcancel.com/colin_fraser/status/1887020255781752949#...

So how exactly is a similar technology supposed to work with the highly specific details of an individual business? If the sales agent only has, say, 90% accuracy at reporting prices or product information, then it's unusable. I would guess it's actually much worse than 90%, even considering improvements in RAG benchmarks.

Maybe OpenAI figured it out and I will eat crow. But I suspect this presentation is marketed towards AI investors rather than sales executives. Investors are happy to pay for fun sci-fi stories about the future of AI, whereas salespeople actually need to sell something in the present.

I understand that anti-black racism is still a factor today.

"EU-Russia is actually a very fruitful relationship because Russia and EU are perfect match"

And this shows limitations of any political analysis that operates on the concept of EU.

Poland, Finland and Baltics are all in EU, and their relationship with Russia cannot be changed - core interests are completely opposite. The fact that these countries may buy russian gas if they need it doesn't change that.

One can often deduce the focal length, if there are somewhat knowable features in the image to compare against.

Also, if there is a lot chromatic aberration and the image perspective seems somewhat corrected in one axis but not in the other, chances are it's from a disposable camera. (They often have a curved film plane to compensate for simplistic lens distortion.)
Would any amount of planning offset these risks though?
Opposing goals, the purpose of markdown is to have a nice looking plain text document that can be automatically typeset and asciidoc is to have a well structured plain text document that can be automaticly typeset.

Note that markdown's whole value proposition is that it is a nice looking plaintext format, it stinks at adding any sort of semantic value to a document. realistically if you care about your documentation you will use something better than markdown. The problem is adding better structure always makes the plain text ugly and hard to read, violating the whole point of markdown. that is to say, the many efforts to add better semantics to markdown don't appear to understand the point of markdown.

With the overwhelming trends towards winner takes all, regulatory capture (or elimination) and western oligarchs this seems like a valuable perspective.

> running errands with your own two feet every day by walking, cycling, etc keeps people healthy and lean. this country has a major car problem

I did live this exact lifestyle in my 20s. I was definitely more active but my diet was way worse. I was closer to a lot of restaurants, and I was closer to a lot of bakeries and convenience stores and such as well.

A healthy lifestyle also requires a healthy diet and city living gave me far too much easy access to snacks and junk food. A lot of "it's only 5 minutes to go buy a snack". Daily stops for coffee that often included a pasty

Yeah, the walkable city does mean people are more active

It doesn't necessarily mean they are much more healthy. It still requires other forms of self control (which I admit, I struggled with)

This is missing a good justification for digging into realtime processing. For me that was to create a DIY receiver, so the equaliser/room correction needs to happen quickly and consistently to maintain lip sync. I'm not sure it's quite so justified for an audio/music server

FreeBSD never crossed my radar as a viable platform for realtime audio processing, instead I had good luck with Linux + RT patch + Pulseaudio + https://github.com/bmc0/dsp. (Pulseaudio really shines in this kind of use case, will resample to correct for slight differences in input/output clocks etc)

Lennart Poettering. That guy is smart and writes a lot of code. However he is also very controversial: anyone who loves Unix hates him because his ideas are very contrary to the "unix way".

Poettering didn't create pipewire - he created pulse audio which pipewire closely emulates though, and so that will be unfortunate.

The other issue is pipe wire had a very ambitious list of features they wanted to support and it took many years to make everything work according to their vision. Pipe wire has been out for several years before it was good enough that normal people could trust it. I've been running it for a couple years now, it is good now, but it wasn't. Pipewire supports video in ways users really want, and so there was pressure to put pipewire everywhere long before it was ready and so this is unfortunate.

Today I will tell everyone to just use pipewire. It works and supports everything you really want to do.
Between the start of construction (2010) and opening of the plant (2014) solar PV dropped in price more than 60% whereas I do not thing the price of mirrors has changed much.

Seems like this is just a case of bad timing - the peak year for installing concentrated solar was 2013-2014 and it has been slowing down year on year since then. Solar PV is still on an upswing in terms of new yearly installed capacity.

Of course its controversial either way. Let's assume for our purposes that DEI is purely about being race, sex, gender, sexuality, age blind (which we can absolutely argue about separately). It would absolutely be controversial because it's replacing a system that previously wasn't blind to those characteristics and therefore has a large constituency of people it favoured. If I'm a rich white kid from a good family who went to a top school who gets into an Internship at Goldman because my Dad is golfing buddies with a Partner there then of course I would be opposed to DEI. And guess what? Rich white kids from good families and top schools have quite a lot of political capital.

And that's only those who directly materially lose out. Implicit in DEI is a suggestion that the American system is not a meritocracy, and if you accept that claim you are attacking the identity of a lot of powerful people who genuinely believe they got to where they are through unique skills and effort and not because they had any sort of advantage.
That's almost a negligible number considering the additional revenue the price increase brought in.
> performance is not that great compared to pulseaudio and jack

I'm aware that performance is not quite as good as Jack (but not by significant margins AFAIK), but how is performance worse than PulseAudio? That cuts against every datum I've ever heard about the two.
It's just a matter of framing. If "paper" is your starting point, a computerized todo list is "paper, but smarter". If a computerized todo list is your starting point (which for many it is), then paper is "computers, but dumber".

It is a little sad (in a nostalgic sense) that paper apparently becomes more marketable when contrasted with the features of computers (apps specifically), rather than as a product in its own right.
