>Might need more detail on how those two forms of determinism are different.

In the theory of computation, you can make a model representations of computers in deterministic or non-deterministic versions. The deterministic version could be described as a flowchart of possible states a computer can be in.

The non-deterministic version allows for the possibility of branching paths and doesn't make assumptions about what state the computer will be in.

One problem you sometimes get into when discussing, say, randomness or quantum weirdness, is that they might lead to confusion about philosophical determinism. There's determined in the sense of Laplacian predictable exchanges of cause and effect. But there's also a determined in the sense of determined by physics as opposed to an independent, libertarian form of free will.

Similarly, with computers, a computer architecture could be understood in some sense as being non-deterministic, but it's not the kind of determinism that's at stake in free will debates.
