Ask HN: Do you also feel like KYC is turning you off to the concept of moneyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48454512I don't think we are there yet but if KYC gets even more stringent I anticipate that a hyper curated list or database of where to find the best deals across every domain of life would be worth more than say 100k USD.At least the hypercurated database would be yours and nobody can temper with it or subtract it from you , contrary to the 100k which can be gone in an instant if the bank decides that you are behaving according to abnomal patterns which could be as stupid as flying to Colombia for a vacation and having a good time over there in the many establishments offering a good time for guys.Also banks hate it when you spend it and try every possible move to prevent you from doing so.Maybe I am alone in this but I will start paying much more attention to stuff (both material stuff and experiences) and the funnel to get stuff close to the source and hence get a much better deal for it.

Ask HN: How do you cope when your startup contracts?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48453224The same general situation has happened to me twice now and I am wondering if it’s something I can break free from or if it’s just the nature of the Startup beast - or what. There seems to be some kind of bubble that starts drying up investment in a startup where I am a technical lead. Both times, things seem to be going well and then 2 years in there are rounds of layoffs due to factors outside my/product’s control where the result is the same. I end up as the last tech generalist. It falls to me to write as much of the code as I can, manage (if any are left) engineers in my department, running support basically on my own, owning a large part of the product roadmap, working with the customers on support and implementations, working with integration partners, plus a slowly expanding list of responsibilities as new stuff falls on reduced teams. I pick up new domains pretty quick (finance, insurance, compliance), switch contexts well. I’ve always been the person who just figures it out -Jun 8, 2026 10:28 PM

Ask HN: Are we as society going to let LLM companies take all the values?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48439240I am not that young, but I'm not that old. I used to be a child, and thought that the adults already figured things out and I can be at peace.One of my realization of me getting older is the realization that there are no adults in the room anymore, or that I am now, an adult, who, also the same like other adults, we actually don't know shit about anything, none of us do.I think LLM is a useful technology. But since the dawn of LLMs, I've been trying to imagine what the world will look like if we take LLM to its logical conclusion. It seems to me, despite of all its benefits, LLM is a sword too sharp for all of us to handle. Its not gonna be sunshines and rainbows.A couple things I'm thinking about below, and these are all just societal impact, not even environmental ones:- Young people lost their career ladders. Capitalism doesn't work anymore. We have permanent underclass. And maybe worldwide scale societal unrest, in which violence will be the norm.- People stop creating music, stop Jun 7, 2026 10:30 PM

Show HN: Typol – Static typing layer for Polarshttps://github.com/pdtpartners/typolHello! Wanted to share Typol, a thin static typing layer around Polars that lets you enforce columnar schemas. We've been hesitant in the past to go with dataframes for processing reporting data, especially with Pandas, due to the long-term maintainability burden of tooling not understanding the data we're processing, or the library itself. Polars is well typed and encourages constructing shapes up rather than modifying in-place, so adding schema typing to it seemed like a natural extension. If Polars DataFrames are dicts, then Typol's are TypedDicts.With Typol, it's easy to define your schemas, which should feel familiar if you're moving from dataclass-style code or from Polars' own schemas, and then build well-typed Polars expressions on these that enforce: (1) valid columns are referenced, (2) column values are used in a valid way for their type, and (3) expressions generate target valid columns in resulting schemas with the correct type. class Account(tp.Shape): name = tp.dimensionJun 7, 2026 6:32 PM

Tell HN: Helium is the best browser I ever usedhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48436918Helium (https://helium.computer/) is Chromium-based, with all the Google odiousness removed, emphasizing minimalism, privacy, zero telemetry, built-in uBlock Origin, and no sync or AI features.I am just a regular user that was looking for a Firefox alternative for a long time. I do not know why Helium does not get more attention. It's so fast all the time even with several hundred tabs, it never crashed, it is strongly privacy and safety protecting, I do not have one complaint about it.Here are some ways the others fall short:- Firefox and all its derivatives are frequently incredibly sluggish, even on the same machine at the same time other browsers based on Chromium and Webkit are fast. I really wanted to like them, but I just gave up finally. I can't even use Mullvad browser now.- Safari's interface and UX seems somewhat clunky to me. I tried Orion; it shows a lot of promise as my secondary browser, but, even after updating it today, it has significant UI regressions. And this is foJun 7, 2026 5:27 PM
