If you can break into a foreign system by running a curl command on your machine: it is not curls fault.
If some one is remote executing curl on your machine, then it is also extremely unlikely that it is curls fault if something odd happens. It can only fetch files from where ever the user running it has read access, and likewise can only write where the user running it, can write.
I have no idea why/where curl would need super user privileges ... and most certainly it can not elevate its privileges on its own.

This is a narrow minded definition :P
And as I pointed out: not true.

For that you would need a ANN from the 1990s, where you actually let the data / signals travel down over all layers.

Which we are not doing anymore since decades.

An ANN is not a simple state machine. So ... either keep nitpicking or get a book about the topic.

When CUDA started taking off we had ATI hardware, to support their open source pledge, and looked into ROCm.

Just getting the drivers to build on EL-anything was an extreme effort, and it wasn't my first rodeo.

Without betraying confidences, I was told second-hand that there were only ten people on the GPU driver team across all platforms and that they were doing their best and not sleeping enough as it was, with Compute way behind gaming bugs on the priority list.

I couldn't independently verify of course but the theory fit the data.

I immediately empathized with the suffering of the devs and went out and bought nVidia cards, annoying binary drivers and all.

Since then I've felt like that some bean counter at AMD wrote nVidia a trillion dollar check.

If you're not a tiny company *overstaff* your engineering departments so you don't miss new opportunities as they arise. The opportunity costs exceed the opex costs.

Same here but this lack of support will matter much less than dropping i486.

There are still embedded systems sold today that only meet i486 specs. I don't use them but some industries do.

Sure a $12 ESP32 can handle those tasks but it's a revalidation thing.

Not that anybody from those vendors stepped forward to maintain a tree.

Provide the the system with the same model, the same prompt, and the same sequence of numbers, and you WILL get the same answer, regardless of how complex the question is, or who asks it.
In theory.

In fact you don't. I gave you already an example, two potential outputs have the same probability, does not not matter which one. So the system has to pick.

The only way to be deterministic would be if the random number generator at the moment of choosing the output, would always be the same number.

Perhaps you want to nitpick about that ... no idea.

There are other reasons when the NN behind the LLM and AI is not deterministic. For example when the traversal through the NN is cut in some directions based on time spent or power used.

If you want to nitpick that the fundamental code is deterministic, you have a point. However we are talking about the user experience. Unless the LLM is just a "Search Engine" and the result is backed up by some Wikipedia articles or similar, and the LLM just makes a summary: it will always give a different answer.

Just try it, ask it to write an Haiku containing the Words "Nonglak, Luck, Dance" and as season spring.

Every time you try: you get a different result.

In my younger and more foolish days I had a Pontiac and I opted out with wire cutters to the Surveillance module's power cables.

At the time I was actually more concerned with remote unlock hijacking than tracking but still I didn't trust GM.

All together now: WE TOLD YOU SO.

If I had to guess 20 years later doing that would disable the ECU.
