Has anyone ever experimented with changing the temperature of their LLMs for coding? I have always used a default of 0.7. Wondering how changing that value would change things specifically for writing code.
GM
Information - Any group 1s and 0s that are stored in an information media.
Knowledge - A particular type of information. These patterns of bits can reliably cause physical changes in the universe, and because of that, this type of information tends to remain instantiated in information media. Examples: Sequences in DNA that make up genes, Newton's first law of motion, Beethoven's fifth symphony, the number PI.

I presume everyone is having a GM.
We are not on social media enough.
Social Media is one of the greatest inventions of mankind. Ever. Full stop.
But it is constantly maligned.
Even on NOSTR social media is seen in a somewhat negative light. Moral virtue is expressed as "go out and touch grass".
A thought experiment - give 100 people this social media challenge:
"Every day for a year, post on social media about your problems, or your society's problems, along with what you believe are the solutions. Post on politics, science, religion, morality, whatever is important to you. Consider and respond to any serious replies. Be earnest."
Now at the end of the year, compare that group of 100 people, to a control group.
Almost certainly the 100 who posted on social media would have advanced their thinking far more from where it was. They would have had to make explicit in their mind their beliefs, and then put them up for critique. Their knowledge would have grown. They would look back at their early beliefs as relatively uninformed.
If I was asked to spend time with either group after the year, I would choose the 100 people who posted on social media.
Is social media perfect? No. That is why we #NOSTR.
Would the people posting have been happy the whole time doing it? Almost certainly not, but I'm not always happy at the gym either.
Karl Popper taught us how we create knowledge:
1. Start with a problem
2. Conjecture solutions.
3. Criticize those solutions.
4. Go with the best solution until we can conjecture a better one.
The social media challenge I proposed, is virtually this exact method.
I have been thinking that the traditional education system is doomed, but was not sure what would replace it. Now I am thinking that it is simply social media.
I love NOSTR.
