And because people writing anything worth reading are using the process of writing to form a proper argument and develop their ideas. It’s just not possible to do that by delegating even a small chunk of the work to AI.

Taking time to figure out if you’re the right fit for the company and the company is the right fit for you is a very good thing. For both parties! Rushed hiring processes increase the chances of you being fired for not being the right fit. Short hiring processes are a massive red flag for me.

Text to code is clearly valuable but the code to text capability of LLMs is seriously underrated IMO. I would argue orgs should prioritise giving PMs Claude Code licenses over devs. So much efficiency unlock without the worry about whether vibe code can be shipped to prod.

Don’t know about anyone else, but I find OpenAI irrelevant now. I bought an anthropic pro account to get Claude code and now just use Anthropic for everything. I can’t see anything drawing me back to OpenAI ecosystem. What am I missing?

rimeice — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 20:38:36 +0000

Very good points, but, I think this blog is pretty focussed on the developer use case for LLMs. It makes a lot more sense in chat style interfaces for connecting to non-dev tools or services with non technical users, if anything just from a UX perspective.

Yeh I think there’s an issue with being off the platform for a long time. Almost exactly same thing happened to me after not logging in for about 10 years. The algorithm just doesn’t know what to do with you. But then I almost immediately go banned for breaching community guidelines after doing nothing but scrolling. So from my experience I can confirm, it’s a total bin fire.

I still don’t really get this argument/excuse for why it’s acceptable that LLMs hallucinate. These tools are meant to support us, but we end up with two parties who are, as you say, prone to “hallucination” and it becomes a situation of the blind leading the blind. Ideally in these scenarios there’s at least one party with a definitive or deterministic view so the other party (i.e. us) at least has some trust in the information they’re receiving and any decisions they make off the back of it.

Big community of people who motorbike around the world non-stop. It’s definitely possible to prepare beforehand and actually more admin getting a vehicle through borders.

Basically yes, the useful models need a modernish GPU to get inference running at a usable speed. You can get smaller parameter models 3b/7b running on older laptops, it just won’t produce output at a useful speed.

rimeice — Sun, 23 Nov 2025 06:05:09 +0000

I like this. I’ve been working on something similar. Good spec’ing is critical to getting good output and I suspect a lot of the “I’ve already got plan mode” comments are from technical HN folk, who do know the right questions to ask and know what good looks like. But as the success of Lovable shows there are millions of people out there who clearly want to build apps but don’t have the technical chops to do so and clearly don’t know what a good spec looks like. My experience of “plan mode” is that it won’t serve these people. I’d be keen to connect and share ideas around this. My email in my profile.

Local only meeting transcription and summarisation for MacOS.

https://localscribe.app/

Loads of similar products out there, but non that did all of: open source code with attested releases, recorded mic and system audio to work with any meeting app and used Apple Intelligence for private summarisation. In beta, and also just released a experimental version with self hosted Ollama support.

Which is apples own approach until the compute requirements need them to run some compute on cloud.

Bots could be crawlers gathering data to periodically be used as raw training data or the requests could just be from a web search agent of some form like ChatGPT finding latest news stories on topic X for example. I don’t know if robots.txt can distinguish between the two types of bot request or whether LLM providers even adhere to either.

I'm undecided on this, initially I was on the “this is bad, we’re outsourcing our thinking” bandwagon, now after using AI for lots of different types of tasks for a while now, I feel like generally I’ve learnt so much, so much more quickly. Would I recall it all without my new crutch? Maybe not, but I may not have learnt it in the first place without it.
