Ask HN: Why Connected Home Appliances?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49278761Asking for a magazine writer for a feature story about "IoT" connected home appliances. The primary question behind this feature is: “I have to now use an app to operate my washing machine. Why?!”The feature explores why this is happening, what technology is behind that, and how this trend (?) might evolve as consumers increasingly complain about app overwhelm.Any pointers to details on how these systems work would be welcome. If you have worked on any of the underlying software, the writer would love to interview you or communicate via email. They have given me some questions they are hoping to answer (see first comment below). Thanks!

Show HN: Sleezr – Manage your hosts file without opening a terminalhttps://www.sleezr.com/enI kept juggling sudo, comment blocks, and hidden typos in /etc/hosts every time I moved between local, staging, and client projects so I built Sleezr.It's a native desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you: - Create a named environment per project and apply it in a few seconds - Flush DNS with one click (runs the correct command per OS) - Auto-backup before every apply, so you can restore your hosts file if something breaks - Handle large hosts files (1000+ entries) with instant search and IP validationIt's a one-time purchase (4.99 €) with lifetime updates no subscription. There's a 3-day free trial (no credit card) and an interactive demo on the site.Happy to answer questions about the approach, the DNS-flush handling across platforms, or the Team setup.

Show HN: Tried some experiments with architecture for Long term memory for LLMhttps://github.com/faisalhussain-devs/MindCache/tree/collapsed_treeThe main ideas that survived the experimentation are:using four memory types — user, knowledge, episodic, and decision memories, each with different lifecycles, different roles and different token budget in the retrieved context. Decision analysis + anchors — decisions can evolve overtime so they can be active or superseded or conditional instead of remaining as unrelated memories. we keep the track of decision memory which is active, superseded or conditional with additional context and using such active decisions related to the query as anchors to further retrieve memories using lexical bm25 often helps. Smart injection — New memories aren't simply assigned to a topic based on similarity. An LLM-guided ingestion step uses the existing topic structure as context to decide where a memory belongs and how it relates to what is already there. This lets the hierarchy grow dynamically instead of becoming a collection of isolated memory nodes.Hierarchical summaries — MindCache adapts the sta

Show HN: Silent Shark – tactical map-based WWII submarine simhttps://silentshark.app/I posted an early beta of this game a few months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48180924 - May 2026 (45 comments) and today released the full version.You all gave extremely valuable and helpful feedback back then - thank you so much for that. It led to a lot of improvements:* I reworked the onboarding tutorials multiple times for clarity, adding protections to stop players from shooting themselves in the foot* I dropped the Comic Sans-reminiscent font and replaced it with Barlow Condensed* I improved the layout of the dials for all screen sizes to keep players on top of things* I added an "Angle-on-Bow recognition trainer" for practicing estimates of ship anglesFor the full version, I fleshed out a full campaign with radio intelligence, patrol zones, and lots of historical events impacting things like which naval bases still exist, which types of missions are given, and how reliable your torpedoes are. (And just for fun, I added a full cribbage mini-game as well!)Now, just m

Show HN: A better, free client for iMessage power-usershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49276601TLDR: Your iMessage inbox is a mess. Go to attention dot righthand dot ai.it's a free app for mac. It's like Superhuman for iMessage. ___You text your friends and family in iMessage. You text your colleagues in iMessage. If you run a business, you likely text prospects and leads in iMessage. I text our customers in iMessage - I want them to know they've got the fastest way to reach me. In 2026 you even text your AI agents in iMessage (Linq raises $20M to enable AI assistants to live in iMessage, Apple approves Poke as the first AI agent on its Messages for Business platform).The point is: your iMessage inbox is overloaded. Even more than email, it's become the inbox where everything important happens. But it's not built for everything! It's basically optimized for friends & family groupchats.Being an iffy texter is OK (debatable) with friends. But the founders and investors we talk to routinely describe this niche pain of coördinating business in iMessage. So we distilled the lessons f
