Ask HN: What does your local LLM setup looks like?

Hacker News - Mon, 06/15/2026 - 12:17am

What models and hardware you are using? For what purpose? What were the challenges? Any tricks that helped you in doing this?

This might help new users like me setup theirs.

Building Software vs. Building a House

Hacker News - Sun, 06/14/2026 - 11:57pm

I have a few rantings and opinions to submit to Hackernews on why the SWE terminology is outdated.

I submit software engineers and vibe coders need a new name. Just call everyone Builders. You were never really an engineer with stamps, and now, a vibecoder can design software and call himself a software engineer without all the crap that you have been through to get where you are today. Its confusing and doesn't make sense long term.

This is the new playing field. We now have crap builders who build houses that will fall down, develop water damage, flood the basement, have squeaks in the floor, burn the house down from loose wires. OR... you have good builders. They take pride in the home they build. They meet with the trades daily. They know exactly what each of the trades are doing. They know the house will stand for a hundred years because his eyes were watchful throughout the build. He saw every load of dirt that was dumped and compacted, every nail in the roof sheathing sunk.

The good builder may even put the tool belt on occasionally and do the dirty work. They may adjust the framing because they know how it will affect the final product. They may apply reinforcing where the engineer overlooked a weak spot. They may adjust windows mid frame because he knows something later in the assembly will cause massive problems. They thoughtfully placed outlets in high usuage areas, or bumped up the amperage of a circuit because they know the equipment that will be used one day in that location.

Everyone is going to have access to the same great sub base. But that's not the measure of what makes a good house. No matter how good the sub base is, they don't care about the house. The builder must care. The builder with field expirence will never loose his value, and houses will never build themselves.

Show HN: G# –> a new dotnet language like Go/Swift/Kotlin with C# interop

Hacker News - Sun, 06/14/2026 - 11:42pm

I started working on this back in 2019, mostly as a design idea. Over the last month I made a big push to make it 100% usable and replace C# in all my personal projects. I now feel it's solid enough to gather feedback from other developers. If you take it for a spin, I hope you enjoy it and send your thoughts!
