Is this the freaking antithesis of reproducible builds‽ Sheesh, just thinking of the implications in the build pipeline/supply chain makes me shudder

    Just set the temperature to zero, duh

    When your CPU is at 0 degrees Kelvin, nothing unpredictable can happen.

    >cool CPU to 0 Kelvin

    >CPU stops working

    yeah I guess you're right

    CPUs work faster with better cooling.
    So at 0K they are infinitely fast.

    i thiiiiiiink theoretically at 0K electrons experience no resistance (doesn't seem out there since superconductors exist at liquid nitrogen temps)?
    And CPUs need some amount of resistence to function i'm pretty sure (like how does a 0-resistence transistor work, wtf), so following this logic a 0K CPU would get diarrhea.

    Just hash the binary and include it with the build. When somebody else compiles they can check the hash and just recompile until it is the same. Deterministic outcome in presumambly finite time. Untill the weights of the model change then all bets are off.
