Setting the temperature parameter to 0.00 makes an LLM deterministic.

Ding ding ding!!!
The test of E2E encryption is “who manages the keys?” If the answer isn’t me, it isn’t E2E encrypted.


Nope! The only question that needs to be asked is: who manages the encryption keys?
If the answer isn’t you, it isn’t E2E encrypted.


Hmmm you’d think one would not use claude to do writing in the first place if one was bothered by “perversions of writing”, and this whole argument is just in bad faith


“Personal hygiene soaps” are superfatted, including the soap that I make. The ingredients are not different, only the ratio of ingredients. The recipe contains extra fat, more than the amount of fat needed to chemically react with the lye. So when all of the lye is used up by the chemical reaction, some amount of fat is left over unreacted in the soap. This extra fat is moisturizer for skin and replaces the natural oils on skin that soap strips away, so the soap is not drying.
My soap is usually minimally superfatted, so it is balanced more towards cleansing than moisturizing but still contains extra fat to ensure it is not harmful on skin. If you want a soap that is very gentle on skin, you would include even more fat.


Lye chemically reacts with fat and is chemically changed into soap. There is no lye present in soap, unless you made it wrong. Lye is used to make soap but soap does not contain lye.
Hard soap as in bar soap, it is a solid. As opposed to liquid soap. All soap is made with lye, including liquid soap.


It is hard solid/bar soap and safe to use on skin. Mostly personal hygiene but can be used for anything where soap is appropriate. Could grate it into shavings to use as laundry detetgent.
EDIT: clarified an answer after a misunderstood definition of “hard” soap


The lye reacts with the fat to chemically change into soap. The ratio of fat to lye in the recipe should ensure that all of the lye chemically reacts, leaving none left in the final product.
And this is what soap actually does:

One end of the soap molecule loves water, the other end hates water. Tons of the soap molecules end up sticking to dirts and oils, completely surrounding them and pulling them away into the water.


Soap making involves very little time investment. There is a long drying time (weeks to months) but you can spend that time on other things 🙂


I make my own soap from 3 ingredients: lard that I process from bacon grease, lye, and water. It is extremely cheap and easy to make, and cleans really effectively. And no, the soap does not smell like bacon at all, it just smells like soap.
People do all kinds of stupid stuff that they don’t need to do or shouldn’t do. But yes, this is one of those stupid things that some people might do in America. I’ve never known anyone that does this.
Can’t relate


That’s literally exactly what engineers did, yeah.
Translating language is what drove LLM architecture to the design we use now, transformers based on the famous Attention Is All You Need paper. https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762
We’re a few steps past this, now. Translation is already solved.

There is no contradiction between GPL and making some side income.
What are you talking about? This is not true.
Um… yes. Matrix multiplication is deterministic, there’s nothing non-deterministic about an LLM, unless you artificially add randomness to them, like randomly selecting 1 of the top N ranked tokens.
