Comment on LLMs bring new nature of abstraction – up and sidewaysparent

Even at temperature != 0 it's trivial to just use a fixed seed in the RNG... it's just a computer being used in a naive, not even multi threaded (i.e. with race conditions), way.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out different stacks multiple fp16s slightly differently or something. Getting determinism across machines might take some work... but there's really nothing magic going on here.
