One of the things that drew me to working with software teams, pretty much neck-and-neck with the other thing which was just empathy bc I was just like "damn these people deserve some psychology", was the nature of its distributed cognitive work, thinking made available at a scale that's amazing

I *think* there's also a thing where even with a temperature of 0, the various parallel processes/threads/whatever can race differently, depending on things like OS, core affinity, number of cores, unrelated load on the machine, whatever.

it's neat how systemd has a little way to accomplish basically anything you want, but it's also very harmonious.

Ever grateful for the normalization of doing more things remotely.

Dear hivemind,
Do you have any favorite references on failures of LLM-as-a-judge (and universally enforceable validity checks? besides some kind of cohen's kappa on a small subset)
