It's not unique to LLMs. Take BASH: you've got `/etc/profile`, `~/.bash_profile,` `~/.bash_login`, `~/.bashrc`, `~/.profile`, environment variables, and shell options.
- subscribed 6mo agoYeah, but for ash/shells these files have wildly different purposes. I don't think it's so distinct with cc.
- hackerbrother 6mo agoI don't think they're wildly different purposes. They're the same purpose (to set shell settings) with different scopes (all users, one user, interactive shells only, etc.).
- hansmayer 6mo agoI would laugh so hard at this, if your attempt at comparison was not so tragic. Bash and other shells are deterministic. Want to set it just for one user ? - use ~/.bashrc . Set it for all users on the system? use /etc/profile.d/ . Want it just temporary for this session? You got it, environment variables. And it is going to work like that every single time. It is deterministic you see.
- SAI_Peregrinus 6mo agoThe non-determinisim in the LLM systems isn't because of the different config uses, that works much like shell configs. The non-determinism is inherent in LLM operations.
- hansmayer 6mo agoExactly my point here...
