Show HN: VibeKnow – content-to-video agent using Remotionhttps://vibeknow.ai/For nearly a decade, I worked in knowledge services, providing technical support to some of the world's top paid-subscription creators. We came to believe that video is increasingly becoming a better medium for presenting knowledge—and that's how VibeKnow was born. We offer a simple, effortless experience: just provide a knowledge-rich document (whether it's a Doc, PDF, PPT, or any other format) or an information-rich URL, and the VibeKnow Agent will automatically parse the text and image assets within it to generate an explainer video—ready to post on YouTube, TikTok, or share within your team. Give it a try.Jun 15, 2026 9:12 AM

Is Musk the richest American ever now? No, except as a consumerhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48531834This week everyone's been asking this, and news agencies tried to put $3t in perspective but didn't really do it, resorting to things like how many dollars it takes laid end to end to the moon, etc.The richest American was Rockefeller, who 100 years ago was worth around $1b ($700m-1.2b estimated).$1b in 1900 USD equates to $25b in 2026 USD, which is fraction of Musk's worth, but this is only in purchasing power as a consumer.In basically all metrics common to 1900 and 2026, Musk could buy more.Musk can buy 140b hours of work at minimum wage ($7.25), whereas Rockefeller could buy only 4.5b hours at the time. Musk could buy 7500 tons of gold versus Rockefeller's 1500 (5x). 230m acres of US farmland versus 50m (5x). 70m metric tons of copper versus 3m (25x). 1600 barrel board feet of lumber versus 85b.Rockefeller still was richer, though, because of what the money made him and empowered him to do (less laws that limit use of money, labor laws, antitrust laws, etc, less accountability to cJun 14, 2026 7:46 PM

I built a bookkeeping app for UK sole traders as a new developer using AIhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48527480About a month ago I started building QuarterPerfect — a bookkeeping tool aimed at UK sole traders and landlords, specifically designed around the MTD ITSA changes coming into effect this year (first quarterly deadline: 7 August).A bit of background on me firstly.I'm not a senior developer. My previous project was a small roster app that converted an XLSX shift rota into a calendar with annual leave support — mostly built for me and a few colleagues at work. Nothing with real users, nothing with payments or compliance requirements. QuarterPerfect is a significant step up from that.QuarterPerfect offers users bank statement import (CSV and PDF), transaction categorization with receipt matching, merchant rules for auto-categorizing recurring transactions, and a read-only accountant share link so clients can hand off clean records without chasing. It's web-first with a mobile app in testing.The technical side was challenging but learnable. The harder thing was building in a domain I have nJun 14, 2026 2:24 PM

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

Ask HN: Are some "Karens" just physically uncomfortable?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48523207I have been thinking about a hypothesis that may sound unusual, but I wonder if there is existing research around it.The hypothesis is that some forms of customer aggression, excessive complaints, “Karen”-like behavior, or entitlement in service environments may not be caused only by personality, ideology, class, or social norms. Part of it may come from chronic bodily discomfort that people fail to recognize as bodily discomfort.For example:weak feet or poor foot posture low walking history flat feet or poor arch support weak calves, hips, or core long-term sedentary work obesity or heavy upper-body load menopause, aging, sleep problems, chronic pain poor tolerance for standing, walking, waiting, crowds, heat, or noiseMy rough model is:bodily support weakness → higher physical discomfort while standing, walking, or waiting → increased sensitivity to minor environmental stressors → poor interpretation of the discomfort → externalization: “the staff is bad,” “the service is bad,” “peoplJun 14, 2026 1:11 AM

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
