Ask HN: What's your AI agent's funny/mocking name?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48465842I just read a thread where people call their bot Sloppenheimer [1]. The classical term Clanker [2] and the newer term Gippity were used in a talk I recently attended [3]. At our job we call it "Kabouter Slop", a reference to the main character of a popular Belgian kids' show [4], which roughly translates to Slop Gnome. Their catchphrase also works: "Slopperdeslop", usable to fill in any kind of emotional response to the work created by the agent.I wonder if there are more genius/funny/mocking alternative names out there. Do you use one? What's yours?[1] = https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48462823 [2] = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clanker [3] = https://youtu.be/6mgbJFVOt-s?t=5911 [4] = https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabouter_PlopJun 9, 2026 6:56 PM

Launch HN: Transload (YC P26) – Measuring freight items with CCTVhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48463273Hi HN — we’re Julius, Jago, and Nils, and we’re building transload (https://transload.io).transload helps LTL trucking companies measure freight dimensions using the security cameras already installed in their terminals. Instead of sending shipments through a dedicated dimensioning station, we measure them automatically as they move through the normal dock workflow.We’ve put together a small HN-specific demo site here: https://hn.transload.ioIn LTL trucking, dimensions matter because they affect pricing, freight classification, and trailer utilization. If a shipment is larger than the shipper reported, the carrier undercharges for it while still giving up the same amount of trailer space. The obvious fix is to measure every shipment, but thats impossible in a busy freight terminal. Dedicated dimensioning systems work for freight that passes through them, but they add forklift travel, create dock congestion, and change the normal flow of work. In practice, many terminals only measure a Jun 9, 2026 4:28 PM

Show HN: Plastron – A spreadsheet you grow into an app, in one index.htmlhttps://plastron.ca/Plastron is a spreadsheet starting with one cel (元) whose formula generates the a readme DOM element but you can make sheets of cels with formulas like =cels(8, 5). It's a single index.html — no build, no server, no install — so it runs locally, offline, and free. Excel is maybe the most useful software ever written, but the moment a sheet wants to be a real app — a UI, a file, a database, something to share — you fall off a cliff and rewrite it as "a real application" (framework + backend + deploy), usually after pleading with IT over licenses. Meanwhile every browser already runs JS, WASM, SQLite, and a filesystem API. An index.html should be all you need.Things to try on the page: =cels("anim", 2, 1, at("a1", "=def(\"ball\", \"js\", \"i => [30+280Math.abs((i/20)%2-1), 30+200Math.abs((i/14)%2-1)]\")"), at("a2", "=simulate(\"ball\", 120)"))=cels("data", 2, 1, at("a1", "=db(\"app\")"), at("a2", "=sql(\"app\", \"create table t(a,b); insert into t values (1,2),(3,4); select * from t\")")Jun 9, 2026 4:07 PM

Ask HN: Are you also experiencing issues with Azure Redis in Western Europe?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48460988Context: we've been using Azure Cache for Redis for about two years now. We have constant health checks that require a successful ping on redis. Normally, we might have a small connection issue every 2-3 days well outside office hours, not much else.Over the last two days (June 8 and June 9) we have seen constant network issues between our runtimes (Hetzner, Western Europe) and Azure Redis. I cannot discard it being something on our end. But it is highly suspicious that we have Redis issues while we have minimal to no network issues with Azure Postgres, which is in the same zone as Azure Redis.We see no issues reported by Azure, but that's not much of a reassurance. We've experienced Azure outages in the past (for example, sending of emails) that never had an official mention in any public status page.If you're also experiencing network issues with Azure services in Western Europe, it'd be great to know we're not the only ones.Jun 9, 2026 1:37 PM

Show HN: Atlasphere – Live Infrastructure Diagramshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48460286Hi HN. My name is Andrey. On a regular business day, I'm a software engineer working at AWS. Outside of work hours, I spend time on my hobby - writing code.I was once building a pet project that allowed customers to spin up fully synchronized blockchain nodes within just a few minutes. The backend was split into a control plane and a data plane, each with its own AWS account. Later I added two more AWS accounts. One for shared RPC nodes. One for the Analytics Service.Since I love to visualize things, I used drawio to visualize the architecture.With time, I noticed a pattern. I'd write some code, add a few lambda functions, update my drawio diagram, write more code, introduce a few more resources, test things, see that everything works fine and go to sleep with a smile on my face. Next week I'd check my diagram, and shockingly, it's missing some of the resources! This kept happening for a few more weeks until I decided to fully abandon the project until my infrastructure diagrams could Jun 9, 2026 12:35 PM

Show HN: Gravity – Interactive solar-system simulator, from Newton to Einsteinhttps://qunabu.github.io/Gravity/Just for fun and self education, I've built this over a weekend to teach myself why orbits exist, not just show planets going around. Something that was never clearly explain to me in school. It opens with a guided tour that builds the idea up step by step: two bodies and the equal/opposite force, inertia (the Sun is removed and Earth just drifts straight), then "an orbit is falling and continuously missing," cosmic velocities with a little rocket, Voyager 1 & 2's real gravity assists (the clock runs the actual 1977–1989 dates so the planets orbit into their grand-tour alignment and the slingshots line up), and it ends on Einstein — gravity as curved spacetime, the classic rubber-sheet well. What's real: every body uses its real radius/mass and J2000 orbital elements; positions come from solving Kepler's equation each frame. You can toggle to an N-body mode (symplectic leapfrog) that shows live energy drift (~1e-6%) so you can see the integrator is honest. The only thing faked is scaleJun 9, 2026 11:46 AM

Ask HN: Do you need go-to-market strategy at early stage?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48456858My startup is pre-revenue. Last week i was in one of the local AI Startup meet up, and attended some GTM office hours hosted by some folks from big company marketing team.Was told Go to market strategy is necessary, need professional helps, it will guide how i run growth campaigns(cold emailing), branding(color). and that i am not able to aquire customer maybe because i don't have a go-to-market strategy, and later on followed by a invitation for deeper GTM consultation(paid).Because i haven't successfully gotten any customer, i cannot rule-out this possibility. But i've watched almost all YC videos on how to get first customer,1. having a GTM is never mentioned not to mention as a mandate2. in fact, from one of the Aaron Epstein's video, a sincere, manual, email works best, with a razor sharp ICP, this doesn't sound GTM at all, it's just doing this one, hard-coded step, no strategy is needed.I would love to hear from you folks on your take before i either go work with these GTM folks,Jun 9, 2026 5:27 AM

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

Show HN: Startup sci-fi novel that took me 5 years to writehttps://www.blockchainednovel.com/It started after reading Stephen King's "On Writing" where he likened the art of writing as the unearthing of an archeological site after you stumbled upon a unique bone of a story. His advice was to choose a domain you are deeply intimate with. For me, I've been a struggling startup founder for 15 years—enough material to inspire a novel.A 1,000-word writing exercise turned into a complete 125k-word manuscript over the course of a year.In year 1, I learned the sheer joy of unencumbered creative flow and authentic expression. A similar flow I used to get from coding (and more recently vibe coding). What made it effortless was a mindset that I was writing for the sake of it, not with the intention of publishing.After a year of keeping it close to my chest, I decided to show it to a few close friends. They liked some of it, destroyed some of it. Some ultimately encouraged me to publish it.In year 2, I learned about the chasm between writing for myself and writing for an audience.

Good when you want to pause the AI agent to investigate and provide more prompts etc.It also has an endpoint for adding messages, this way you can cross 2 gates(these HTTP endpoints are called gates) and let one agent do your work, the other one look at the work and provide instructions to the agent.You will understand the concept right away, create gate copy paste the prompt into the agent(works very well on Codex for me) and wait a few moment until the agent does a CURL and start waiting, then type sJun 8, 2026 9:15 AM
