Hi All,
Sorry I'm not an advanced user. What is the disadvantage of pulling the default
from .Random.seed? As a non-advanced user it took me way too long to figure out
that set.seed() doesn't work.
Thanks,
Ellis

I agree with Martin. I think it is worse for beginners to falsely believe
their results are deterministic when they are not. This sounds like a
problem that should be solved with documentation and maybe even examples of
setting the RNG seed manually.
I also worry about advanced users and
Hello,
Might it instead made possible to set an RNGseed value by specifying one to
bpparam but still get the automated back-end selection, so that it could easily
be set to a particular value in an R package?

I'm not sure that this is a good idea? For instance R does not set the random
number stream to be the same by default. Not sure what others might think...

Good day,
I maintain an R package which makes use of functions such as bplapply which has
bpparam() as the default. I have received feedback from a beginnre user that
the results change when he knitted his R Markdown document a second time. This
stems from the default constructor of bpparam()
