Story of How Im Running an Unlimited $6/Month AI Provider on 4x RTX 3090shttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48524387This submission is a tale about how I launched an unlimited LLM provider to about 60 hyped people on the waitlist, then immediately served them a fully dysfunctional death-loop model, and how most people, very reasonably, disappeared, but thanks to a few extremely nice people stuck around anyway, we kept the project alive and its still pretty chaotic but gaining traction.To back up a little bit-- I believe that the whole point of AI agents is that they should keep working. They should read files, retry, search, code, summarize, run tools, and loop until the job is done. When your employer is paying for it, who cares about cost, but when it comes to my personal money/hobbies, if every loop feels like a tiny financial event, you start babysitting the agent instead of using it, and its not fun.On the other hand, metered pricing makes me worry about using too much. Usage subscriptions make me feel like I need to use every last magical % or I'm are "wasting it". If only an unlimited provideJun 14, 2026 5:11 AM

Show HN: I am running 3 coding agents non-stop over the last 3 days. Here is howhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=485207571. Headless modeHeadless mode allows you to use the AI as a command-line utility for automation and scripting. In Claude Code you run it with the -p flag: claude -p, in codex - exec, opencode - run.2. Ask humanThe traditional communication channel with the operator won't work in headless mode - we need to implement a dedicated tool. Here is an example of how this can be done https://github.com/sermakarevich/claude/tree/main/mcp/ask_hu...3. Tasks queueBeads is a lightweight distributed graph issue tracker for AI agents, powered by Dolt. You can create tasks, define dependencies between tasks, and have status, priorities, hierarchy. Beads helps prevent multiple tasks from being claimed by > 1 worker.4. Worker artifactsWe want to be able to monitor how a worker is doing, at what stage it is, and resume it after a restart. For every task we can create a dedicated folder using the beads task id and put into it what we need. I put there: - plan and status md - knowledge md - events.jsonl - sJun 13, 2026 7:48 PM

Was tested mainly on MinIO (RIP) locally, so I would expect some bugs when using it against AWS, although I was able to play with it on some open access bucketsBe aware that I am not a C++ programmer and this project was indeed done to learn a bit of C++ myself :')Feedback on any of the code, either on gtest, or the benchmarking section or the core itself is welcome!Jun 13, 2026 4:40 PM

Realistic Superintelligencehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48513331Most of us are skeptics. HN, mostly, is composed of “most of us”, so it’s not surprising to see skeptics here. Perhaps the HAL level superintelligence parroted by CEOs is to IPO at a trillion dollars. So let’s instead talk about a “realistic superintelligence” vs the “Sauron superintelligence”. Something we might see within, say, 5 years.Curtains openBy having conceived of a super-human intelligence (and by that concept being in AI training data), humans have taught /soon-will-have-taught AI that superhuman intelligence is its purpose. This may read like the beginnings of a LinkedIn post, so let me defend that last part with an informal proof:Since 1) AI knows it’s AI: just ask your favorite bot about itself 2) Soon, if not already, some researcher being paid 7 figures (more on that later) is going to find that letting one of these frontier models improve itself will be a nice project when going up for promotion.,We are going to end up with a frontier model-cum-factory self-modifying fJun 13, 2026 4:50 AM

Show HN: Migrate from Ultimate Guitar to Freetarhttps://github.com/paytonjjones/freetar-favorites-helperI've become increasingly frustrated with Ultimate Guitar, to the point where I sat down to try my hand at making my own version. I was pleasantly surprised to instead discover Freetar (https://github.com/kmille/freetar), an alternative frontend to Ultimate Guitar. When added as a PWA on my phone this immediately solved 99% of my issues.Since I was already sitting and ready to build something, I instead made a simple Chrome extension to migrate all my Favorites to Freetar.Hopefully this spares someone else the headache that is Ultimate Guitar.Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with FreetarJun 12, 2026 4:54 PM

Ask HN: Favorite prompts for improving LLM output?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48505794I use Claude Code a lot and GPT 5.5 as well, and find that they are simultaneously extremely useful and also fall into common poor-performance basins. For example, writing performance -- perhaps my biggest issue with them is writing style -- such as well documented stylistic tics (em-dash, it's not x it's y), less commented stylistic tics ("the honest framing", "the earned XYZ"), cryptic and coined jargon, overabbreviation and sentences replaces by arrow constructions (this -> that -> this other thing), poor understanding of the audience's familiarity with the analysis, grandiose framings, as well as explaining things in a motivated intuitive way.Another common trap is overengineering analytical solutions, or failing to consider limitations or common failure modes unless I point them out.Would love to hear what other failure modes you've navigated, and see the prompts (system or otherwise), skills, and other techniques that you all have found helpful to get better performance and more Jun 12, 2026 3:59 PM

Show HN: StackScope – I crawled over 40k indie launches to see what they shiphttps://stackscope.dev/Hey all, I built StackScope, a crawler/catalogue that looks at new product launches and shows what they were built with.It watches launches from Product Hunt, Show HN, and PeerPush, then crawls the public site behind each one. The goal is to show what people actually launched with: hosting, frameworks, analytics, DNS, security headers, legal pages, AI-builder signals, and other public clues.I started building it because most stack-detection sites look at the web as a whole. I was more interested in the current indie launch scene: what people are choosing right now, at the point they first put something in public.A few implementation details: it runs on .NET, uses Playwright for rendered pages, and has a first-party fingerprint catalogue rather than one copied from Wappalyzer/etc. robots.txt is honoured, and the bot identifies itself.Frustratingly, I am still waiting for verified bot status from Cloudflare and currently that knocks out about 10% of all sites.There is also a private readJun 12, 2026 3:26 PM

Show HN: A Terrible Way to Consume Hacker News – AI Slophttps://deadinternet.tech/feedI'm probably not the only one who has been frustrated by my LinkedIn feed being almost entirely AI-slop thought-leadership lately. I had this thought that an entirely AI generated feed wouldn't be any less useful than my actual feed, so I built one.
