Claude, calculate salaries, make no mistakes. (they probably forgot the last part)

I wonder if company used some kind of automation that decided it needs all CPRs for whatever it was doing.

Ask HN: Are you working less? By how much?

haute_cuisine — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 20:53:24 +0000

The promise of AI is to significantly speedup and automate knowledge work.

AI assistants are promising to handle personal productivity for us as well (planning, task management, research, reports, etc).

Do you feel that your day is becoming less busy? that you have more free focus than ever? that you can sit bored because all chores are done for you by AI?

In which direction are we going? I would appreciate your self-reflection and perspective on this.

I definately see value in getting tailored plausalbe answers without applying much effort, except effort, struggle and experimentation are required for learning and understanding.

I found that I can't really trust this knowledge becuase I skipped the source and didn't conclude it myself. Like how I can learn anything when being spoon fed with conclusions and summaries without accessing the source?

This is a very interesting shift with Apple where customers are starting to perceive it as hostile company.

Thanks for the demo. It plays very bad and blunders pieces on every move.

ant/openai already keep their most advanced models behind closed doors and only share previous generation to the public

With "use it or loose it" brain feature, I don't really want my natural recap skill to atrophy to make me dependent on this sort of tech. Not considering that they can secretly ship other monitoring features to constantly scan for certain discussions.

Lookup "moe kapil" series on YT. It might help to re-examine the perspective.

Hardware shops can't do software, software shops can't do hardware. Just never put any hardware company in secure sensitive software related flows.

haute_cuisine — Sat, 29 Aug 2026 09:32:40 +0000

I see any device as hardware + software. I think, it would be better to allow other companies to compete and offer a replacement for each part.

Apple can claim "we offer vertical integration" because we make both for each other, but you should be able to buy hardware or software independently of each other.

If MS sells they own laptops with bundled windows, they will have an incentive to make adjustments so other hardware products are less competitive. Long term, we'll end up with Apple/MS monopoly on devices where you don't have a vote on how your system works and what data it sends to whom.

This means that it should be possible to install any OS on readers / phones / laptops / consoles and vote with your own money against shovelware (hello, smart TVs).

It's unfair that apple gets an easy pass on this, as well as any mobile device.

New comment by haute_cuisine in "Ask HN: Why are Claude models so verbose?"

haute_cuisine — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 09:36:02 +0000

Why would LLMs be concise and to the point? There is no truth in these machines.

p.s. You've just discovered a load bearing seam with your dossier and have a right to push back on this.

Would it make a seat tube a load bearing here? I imagined setting it up on a carbon bike

You don’t need a cookie notice if you don’t track. We also had “do not track” is safari.

Author wrote that opus required too much handholding, to host opus locally (aka glm 5.2) you need $50k in hardware (or $3k/mo to rent a slow server) or just buy tokens from hoster.

New comment by haute_cuisine in "What if users start cloning SaaS using AI"

haute_cuisine — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 07:41:59 +0000

This doesn’t work now unfortunately as described. Cloning is multi-months effort and it’s hard even when you know what you’re doing. If you want to have a sellable clone, it’s even harder challenge as users wouldn’t tolerate sloppy work when better alternatives exist.

Ask HN: Are LLMs slowly making companies dysfunctional?

haute_cuisine — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 16:15:22 +0000

LLMs are great. They can quickly one-shot plausible solutions for many problems. This makes companies push hard to offload rising cognitive demands to LLMs.

It doesn't make much sense to invest effort into verifying a plausible-looking throwaway solution that is reviewed and smoke-tested by an LLM, with a quick glance from a tired human.

This results in complexity creep everywhere: decisions, communication, code, documentation, etc.

On par with cognitive debt, as thinking and decision refinement were offloaded, nobody gained unique experience solving a niche use case. This is equal to having a knowledgeable person leave the company before the knowledge transfer occurred. All you're left with is a legacy of someone else's assumptions and decisions you'll never be fully aware of.

I already see it happening. In support, LLMs never solved any of my support requests. Support, which should know the product inside out, recommends visiting pages and clicking buttons that are hallucinated and don't exist in the product. In code, codebases are ballooning with unreasonable complexity. In product, interface decisions are outsourced to LLMs, making companies arrive at the same solution for their unique niche problems.

Are you observing something similar?
