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: Tmux-agent-switcher: see which Claude/Codex agents need your attentionhttps://github.com/Ymirke/tmux-agent-switcherSince the start of this year I've coded pretty much exclusively by running multiple AI agents in parallel.Having tried a bunch of tools for managing them, I kept coming back to tmux. This is becaues I want to run them on a separate machine as I like being able to close my laptop, or even have long running tasks continue even if I board a flight without WiFi.So I built tmux-agent-switcher, a tmux plugin that gives me a better overview of all of them without replacing tmux as the core tech for managing processes on the server.Ctrl+n opens a sidebar showing windows across all sessions. The sidebar shows the agent's state as icons. After selecting an Idle session it also checkmarks it, so you get indicator if you've seen it or not. It also has Vim and "number-based" navigation styles.I didn't want to make a wrapper that would own how agents are launched, so I still run claude or codex normally. The plugin passively looks at tmux metadata, and visible terminal output to infer the agent stat

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 Decision analysis + anchors — decisions can evolve overtime so they can be active or superseded or conditional instead of remaining as unrelated memories. we keep the track of decision memory which is active, superseded or conditional with additional context and using such active decisions related to the query as anchors to further retrieve memories using lexical bm25 often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

[video, full rules, beta]https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49274075Beta link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/3sstMjRK [iOS/iPadOS]Gameplay video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC34LO_bL4k# Game Rules# ObjectiveThe game is played on a 6 × 6 grid using six colors.Each color begins with:1 gate5 tilesThe six gates are fixed in place. They cannot move or be removed. Every row and every column contains exactly one gate.Your goal is to leave as many of the grid's 30 non-gate cells empty as possible in the given number of moves.# ShapesEvery tile and gate has one of two shapes:SquareCircleA tile can be removed only when both its *color* and its *shape* match the gate it passes through.# Making a MoveSwipe any row or column to rotate its tiles and empty spaces by one position.Anything that passes an edge wraps around to the opposite edge. The gate remains fixed in place.During each rotation, exactly one tile or empty space passes through the gate. That interaction may change the passing tile and the gate. Everything else simply moves to its new position.#

Show HN: FEDERaiDE, a TUI harness with P2P multi-agent routing and built in IDEhttps://federaide.rocklab.inHi!Federaide is a general purpose multi-agent harness that runs in your terminal. It is meant for recreational programming and automating your scripts. The agents are just named instances of language models which have their own memories, backstories et cetera, and can coordinate with each other as they require. It has its own IDE (complete with interactive structure parsing and jump to def). I am building Federaide as a solo project.Why do I build this? Some reasons:- I reached out to some people to try my other IDE, many of them did not have suitable computers (or at all).- During this time I observed almost every normal person has interacted with AI via their phones (usually the Gemini/ChatGPT app).- I felt I could bring the joy of coding to a lot more people if I could make an AI assisted IDE run on Android.- When I go to sleep I like to try out code ideas. Can't take my macbook to bed, have cats. Do have a spare Android, thought it would be nice to have a coding platform I could us
