Why? What's the incentive/value to commenting here with AI?

I got this running locally using llama.cpp from Homebrew and the Unsloth quantized model like this:

  brew upgrade llama.cpp # or brew install if you don't have it yet
Then:

  llama-cli \
    -hf unsloth/Qwen3-Coder-Next-GGUF:UD-Q4_K_XL \
    --fit on \
    --seed 3407 \
    --temp 1.0 \
    --top-p 0.95 \
    --min-p 0.01 \
    --top-k 40 \
    --jinja
That opened a CLI interface. For a web UI on port 8080 along with an OpenAI chat completions compatible endpoint do this:

  llama-server \
    -hf unsloth/Qwen3-Coder-Next-GGUF:UD-Q4_K_XL \
    --fit on \
    --seed 3407 \
    --temp 1.0 \
    --top-p 0.95 \
    --min-p 0.01 \
    --top-k 40 \
    --jinja
It's using about 28GB of RAM.

It's not pure symbolism. The most effective way to reduce the global threat the US is appearing to pose more as of late, is to hit the dollar. The US economy is in a very precarious state, tensions along political ideology lines are high, and it would not take much more than a worsening of economic conditions plus a catalyst event to kick off armed unrest within the country. A new civil war that drives the US to fragment into several independent regions over the course of the next ~five years would kind of be the best scenario from a global perspective.

How would a USA civil be the best scenario globally? Who knows what wars that would trigger globally

Actually I'd say the opposite: If it only happens with paywalled sites it's clear that its purpose it to circumvent paywalls. If you always do it, It's so there is a record of the original site at time of posting.

It would also help with sites that can't handle the hacker News traffic load. Happens all the time
technotony commented on AI agents are starting to eat SaaS   martinalderson.com/posts/... · Posted by u/jnord

I’m currently working on an in house ERP and inventory system for a specific kind of business. With very few people you can now instead of paying loads of money for some off the shelf solution to your software needs get something completely bespoke to your business. I think AI enables the age of boutique software that works fantastically for businesses, agencies will need to dramatically reduce their price to compete with in house teams.

I’m pretty certain AI quadruples my output at least and facilitates fixing, improving and upgrading poor quality inherited software much better than in the past. Why pay for SaaS when you can build something “good enough” in a week or two? You also get exactly what you want rather than some £300k per year CRM that will double or treble in price and never quite be what you wanted.

Interesting application. Can you share more about your stack and how you are approaching that build?

Users will ask ChatGPT for recommendations and the answer will feature products and services that have paid to be there, probably with some sort of attribution mechanism so OpenAI can get paid extra if the user ends up completing the purchase.

Checkout will happen directly in the app, and yes they will collect a fee on it.

This might be true for a normal definition of success, but not lottery-winner style success like Facebook. If you look at Microsoft, Netflix, Apple, Amazon, Google, and so on, the founders all have few or zero previous attempts at starting a business. My theory is that this leads them to pursue risky behavior that more experienced leaders wouldn't try, and because they were in the right place at the right time, that earned them the largest rewards.

Not true of Netflix, founder came from PayPal. Apple required founder to leave and learn with a bunch of other companies like Pixar and next.
technotony commented on Show HN: I've been building an ERP for manufacturing for the last 3 years   github.com/crbnos/carbon... · Posted by u/barbinbrad
SilverElfin · 7 months ago
What exactly is an “ERP”? Virtually everything I read about them or on the website of products, is so vague and broad that it sounds like “it’s everything”. How would a business know they need this product? For the big ERPs out there, is there a clear guide with screenshots that show what they concretely do?
technotony · 7 months ago
It's a type of software that lets business manage and automate core processes in one integrated system. Typically linking finance/accounting with operations like sales, inventory and manufacturing.

One important data point is that houses have become much more expensive compared to income in the last decades. When I lived in CA, my plumber neighbor told me he bought his house in the 70s for 80000 on a salary of 40000. Today he would probably pay 800000 for the same house but make maybe 100000 or a little more.

It's definitely harder to buy a house these days.

Interest rates have fallen dramatically over this period, which increases the ratio that is affordable.
