Why are there an increasing number of outright unhinged high karma users on HN?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48485429I’ve been noticing this disturbing trend for quite a while. By high karma I mean well over 1000 karma.And some of these leave comments so bizarre, that I can’t find any charitable explanation.Other than perhaps they may be skipping reading every other word or something… and then respond to an imaginary version of the parent.Uncharitably, they could be semi-random keyboard bashing, deranged bashing, emotional tantrums, and so on. Or LLM written… except the style doesnt match.Of course this has always been somewhat prevalent for low karma users, but it’s now creeping up higher and higher.For example, I had a recent bizarre encounter.I had double checked the first 10 pages of google results, in regards to a claim that I implied prior in the comment chain, mentioning that it seemed supportive of the claim.Maybe the novelty of someone doing that, and not just randomly opining, triggered something.Realistically, it didn’t take more than 5 minutes of effort, but still… it would have been 1 toJun 11, 2026 2:07 AM

Show HN: Papermill Press – An AI-friendly markup language for PDF generationhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48477708If you’ve generated PDFs from HTML, you’ll know the pain: headless Chrome in Docker, CSS hacks, content that flows over pages or table boundaries and other quality issues.The fundamental problem is that HTML was designed for screens, not print.We built Press, a markup-based document language where pages, content flows, and assets are first-class concepts. Content can flow across frames, columns, and pages without manual pagination. Pages are created dynamically based on the available content.Press templates separate layout from content. You can send markdown, Press markup, or a mixture of both to the API. Data can be sent in JSON, CSV, XML.Because Press is XML-based it can easily be generated by agents - some of our users are generating complete documents in a single shot, although the language is designed for repeatable automation.You can also use our MCP server, which enables models to design templates.A simple API call sends a markdown payload, which is injected into a … element in Jun 10, 2026 3:21 PM

Show HN: Bitemap – See where everyone would bite a sandwichhttps://www.bitemap.food/sandwich/mcdonalds-cheeseburger-3862dc92I know the internet likes to celebrate perfect bites and debate where to take the next bite of half-finished sandwiches. So I built Bitemap. You see a photo of a sandwich, you tap where you'd take your next bite, and it shows a heatmap of where everyone else bit.It's early. Most of the sandwiches are ones I uploaded to seed it and the maps are still filling in, so some are thin. You can add your own too.No signup, nothing to install. Curious what you think, and where you'd bite. Happy to answer anything about how it's built.Jun 9, 2026 1:29 PM

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

You can build sections for:- github prs - has a graphite like review page optimized with diffs.com for large prs, all the good ol ux from graphite ported over.- github issues - similar to prs- gmail - initial full sync from gmail directly - incremental sync via a relay server connected via a ws connection - extraction pipeline for a knowledgebase memory - you connect ur copilot/codex/claude sub and we use that token to spin up an agent and extract the details from the email - notion like ui layout (but faster than notion) - compose new or draft a reply, adjust labels wteve you want, syncs directly wth gmail and the incremental sync immediately updates thJun 4, 2026 10:17 PM

Launch HN: Hyper (YC P26) – Company brain to power agentic developmenthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48387095Hey HN, we’re Shalin & Kanyes, best friends who've been hacking together for 10+yrs, and now founders of Hyper (https://heyhyper.ai/). Hyper is a shared “company brain” that plugs into information flowing inside a company to make AI agents and automations better and ultimately save people time.Models have gotten good enough that they can (mostly) take on long-horizon, complex tasks. We believe the bottleneck now is that these smart-enough models often lack information about your company, which is scattered in people's heads, Slack threads, stale docs, and in back-and-forth convos with AI.MCP is useful for getting some info in front of an agent, but there are problems: (1) Once the session dies, so does the insight, so instead of copy-pasting a whole doc each time you're telling the agent to dig through Drive each time - not much of a win; (2) Even when MCP works, what it gathers isn't comprehensive, because people decide things on a whiteboard, brainstorm out loud, post a little in SlaJun 3, 2026 5:39 PM
