What use cases do you imagine for LLMs in home automation?

I have HA and a mini PC capable of running decently sized LLMs but all my home automation is super deterministic (e.g. close window covers 30 minutes after sunset, turn X light on if Y condition, etc.).

It would be possible to proactively pass a law that is incompatible with future attempts, right?

E.g. in this case something like a "right to chat secrecy" law.

That design you describe is what is pictured at the top of the article.

Problem is that then the keys are not equally spaced chromatically (e.g. larger spacing between B and C than between C and C#).

You could probably get used to play like that, but it would be ineficient in terms of space for both the fingers and the mechanics of the piano (hammers, strings).

So what you do, in reality, is move some of the black keys down a bit (C#, F#) and some up (Eb, Bb) so that the spacing between the center of the keys is regular.

I don't think that's what's described in the article though?

I like Janet a lot, and have been using it for small personal projects for about a year.

But it does come with some design decisions that I'm a bit ambivalent about and for which I haven't found a good explanation:

- No persistent data structures. I guess this has something to do with limitations of the GC?

- unhygienic macros combined with lack of namespaces. XOR those two choices would be fine, but the combination is janky

- Somewhat peculiar choices in syntax. It's neither Scheme, nor is it Clojure. # starts comments, ; is splice, @ marks literals as mutable...
