Isn't the simplest homelab humanly possible just... no homelab?

Seeing Miyazaki’s Pippi makes me so sad that we never got to see that movie. I’ve been reading a ton of Astrid Lindgren with my kid lately, and for many of them I see them in my mind’s eye as Myazaki films, and especially Pippi. Myazaki and Lindgren have a lot in common, I think, in how they tell stories from children’s perspectives. What we’ve got for Pippi movie adaptations instead are very poor things.

Bu that's not really what danlitt said, right? They did not claim that it's impossible for an LLM to generate something different, merely that it's not a clean room implementation since the LLM, one must assume, is trained on the code it's re-implementing.

It's definitively not the source of the word, but it might very well be the reason the decided to have a "fest i val". Gothenburg is famous for their puns, and even today they open up the mouth of the whale for visitors on two occasions - valdagen (election day) and Valborgsmässoafton (Walpurgis eve).

It falls quite close to the "super ideal scenarios" you described, but Nordic did a real world test and got a range of 1300 m using coded phy.

Interesting concept with conceptual spaces, but how does that affect how you work with LLM:s in practice?

I’m sure you’re right, at least to some extent, but let’s not forget that Mad Men is fictional, and from the 21st century, and might not accurately reflect the 1950’s.

I wonder what the US administration will demand from Netflix for approving this.

Adding Warner Bros. catalog will naturally lead to more titles to choose from for Netflix users. The choice of streaming services will be slimmer though. It will be interesting to see how regulators see it.
