Or they don’t, and they* sell access to Mythos and successors through their services company or network of partners and charge a premium.

* they, I mean all foundation models providers, as OpenAI seems to go in the same direction

No, it’s not. One thing is to resell an item after you’ve used/enjoyed it and then maybe its value has increased. Much different is to buy an item to sell immediately and making a quick profit.

Well, we would refer to chupa-chups (brand) to the ones with a ball head. And Kojaks if they had gum inside.

Piruletas were the flat ones, either circular or heart shaped.

Pirueta is not lollipop in Spanish, it would be “piruletas” (at least in Spain Spanish).

Piruetas is pirouette, as in what a ice skater might do.

Issue is there are many apps claiming they can do that, and for many people are “magic”.

We should not allow companies to lie blatantly to the customers.

Edit: r/blame/lie/

Curious, why it was easier to use an LLM vs a non-AI app with a DB of foods?

Seems that in this case a traditional approach would be more precise and more environmentally efficient to get to the same results.

You could also nerf your performance at random times and then get good at it again, and extend the illusion for longer.

So a 100% presses red and everyone survives too.

I concur, seems that lately we’ve collectively forget about the KISS principle.

New comment by edu in "Figma's woes compound with Claude Design"

edu — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 21:39:06 +0000

Not the OP, but here are my 2 CT’s on what is design:

Design is the process to you follow to solve a given problem/need/desire balancing the user needs with the business/tech constraints. The output could be a a digital UI, a physical object or an intangible process. But often people think about design just as the aesthetics of a product.

A common pattern is the Empathize (Research, Diverge), Define (Converge), Ideate (Diverge), Prototype (Converge), Test (and then iterate).

The main benefits come from the divergent phases: empathize and ideate. But it’s far too common already that some executive has an “illumination” of how something should be and just wants to build as is, without any research or validation.

They can use Claude Design (and similar) to just build a prototype of their first idea, skipping all the design process and end with something that looks good but doesn’t solve the problem adequately or fits the actual user needs/context.

Of course, LLMs are useful tools that can be used in the right way: to build better prototypes in less time, to synthesize research insights, to explore ideas…

Besides the article, I think a big issue for this would be the speed of the input-decision-act loop as it should be pretty fast and Claude would introduce a lot of latency in it.

New comment by edu in "Ask HN: Any interesting niche hobbies?"

edu — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 18:15:24 +0000

I’ve recently started making bread, at the moment still with fresh or bakers yeast and planning to grow my own sourdough.

It’s not very niche, but as a hobby it’s pretty fulfilling. It allows for a lot of play, and you end with something tasty. Also, makes for a great small gift for friends and family.

New comment by edu in "People Love to Work Hard"

edu — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 06:30:30 +0000

Agree. Work hard, but also family hard, “friend” hard, play hard, and in general just live hard.

Edit: and no one likes to work hard for peanuts or under threat of being fired
