If you have a third.level.name domain, it&#x27;ll get permanently expunged next year. Have you successfully taken steps to migrate away? Did you move to a standard .com domain, or are you taking your chances with another .tld?Personally, I&#x27;m stuck in Microsoft hell because Azure admin emails cannot be changed and support is both uncaring and powerless.

Tell HN: Remember to migrate away from .name domain

Every product seems to go through constant UI churn that has no benefit to users other than changing around whitespace or refreshing the look.If you have a full time UX person they _must_ change the UI of your product otherwise there is no way to get promoted.That is just an unavoidable fact of incentive structures.As a company how can you avoid that issue?

Ask HN: How can we stop UX people from changing UIs to get promotions?

So, my boss goes on a rampage. You can clearly see the joy and at the same time the rage and impatience. AI is the tool he always wanted. We are too slow. Process is out of the window. No need for sprints anymore. No planning, just doing. All people downstream must somehow adapt.Whenever i see now his automated messages in slack, my natural reaction is: why do i even bother reading that? Thats for machines to read. He does not need me? Clearly i am not made for that. What is he expecting me to do? To confirm how great the AI did the job? Should i remember all these perfect presentations AI has created and integrate it into my doings into the coming weeks?I am torn. Should i really free my AI and deal with all this incoming text? Is this the way to react on this perfection?I am not mad at him, it clearly frees him of all the burder of dealing with people.I just dont know how to deal with this output personally. It is not for humans.I feel left alone. This is not a company anymore. Everyone is talking to AI now. This feels like chaos. Where everyone can do everything and stepping into each other&#x27;s domain and it is perfect. The only way AI is stopped at are the ACLs.And because AI does everything for me, i don&#x27;t remember things anymore, as i have no emotion connected with it. Feels like bad schooling and memoizing and get through it and you can&#x27;t as it so dry and lifeless.So, how people deal with it in a company context? How have they setup their machines to react and still be up to date without reading the constant stream of changes coming from others?

How do you deal with AI Output of your boss?

Couldn&#x27;t users just turn off their computers(via the shutdown option) and use the physical button to turn it on again ? Why did they added an extra button ? It&#x27;s not saving too much time or anything.

Why do computers/phones have a restart option along with the power off option?

This is the entire contents of my home dir AGENTS.md file now.Does it help reduce the slop you have to read for you the same way it feels like it does it for me?

Recent discussion on Token Ring networks has me wondering, has anyone seen any Token Ring or FDDI networks still running out there?

Ask HN: Is anyone still running Token Ring or FDDI networks?

In other words, how do I setup a AGENTS.md or behavior rules for Gemini Live?

Ask HN: How do I stop Gemini Live from asking."Would like to know more about..?"

Just started hiring for my AI x Freight startup. To vet junior hires I&#x27;m offering them paid internships (above median market pay) before making a FT hire decision.So far, I&#x27;m really struggling to see the value add of a junior engineer given how good the models have become. A senior with Max plan beats three junior hires (very rough estimate).Having spoken with a few peers (founders), they have expressed similar feelings. I want to hire juniors and see them grow, but I feel my bar of expectations is at an all time high, and perhaps unrealistic.

Ask HN: Thoughts on hiring junior engineers in 2026?

In this presentation, Elon Musk briefly mentioned a practical benefit of the new flying car, at minute 8:45:
https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;live&#x2F;qt5p-_tE8d0?t=525&quot;The actual benefit ... where the downforce of the car ... because the car sticks to the ground so hard.&quot;Could anyone who understands the technology expand on that and explain it in simple terms for non-experts?

Have been working in tech since 2004 as a designer and founder and html&#x2F;css jockey. With AI&#x27;s help over the last few years I&#x27;ve become full stack proficient with client and personal projects.So now I can brand, design and deploy entire products on my own... which is incredibly cool and fun, and Valuable(??), you&#x27;d think that my rates would go up and clients or positions would become easier to find. And Yet, I&#x27;ve never had inbound this dry, email outreach isn&#x27;t working, nobody seems to be looking, at least not for what I have to offer. At this point I&#x27;m literally posting coupons on twitter.So I guess I have four intents here(1) To throw my experience into the pot as evidence of... something going on. If an experienced designer can now do the work of several people, why isn&#x27;t that also becoming more valuable to the market?*(2) ofc I&#x27;m hoping some founder who needs a designer will see this and reach out. I do well with engineers and abstractions and I suspect I&#x27;d work well with anyone in here. Note even a successful REFERRAL and I will lovingly design or build something for you.(3) if you have any thoughts on how I, or other designer-builders like me, might change our approach or packaging, I am all ears and would very much appreciate your thoughts. See pieratt.com. (also see D. below)(4) I&#x27;d love to hear if anyone else is going through this? proof that I&#x27;m not just a fuckup would be worth quite a bit.*Four potential explanations I can see: 
A. market is weak B. market is evolving at same pace and so no change C. Institutional lag, the state is not yet logging my type of tree, market admin requires clear roles for e.g. hiring and invoicing. D. I am presenting clear signals that I cannot see that are preventing me from finding work.

The idea is how can we make personal agent apps on the phone just listen to your rules... Like it&#x27;s weird to have Muse, Grok Bot, Dots, Instinct not ask me about when I want them to work for me or align with my rules, values, and goals.If I give these agents access to tools&#x2F;connectors&#x2F;data they just &quot;assume&quot; what I want or what it should do rather than asking me? And even if I set these for a specific agent then what happens when a newer personal agent comes out? Do I have to reconfigure again my rules for each flavor of personal agents or harness?This is where our initial idea stems from and we need feedback:Emu is a self-learning on-device AI guardian that makes AI agents follow your rules. Also the video above kind of just highlights Emu&#x27;s concept thought process.

Emu Concept – Make AI Follows Your Rules. (Feedback Wanted)

It seems an obvious thing to try; therefore, it has been tried.Impressive results are publicized; therefore it wasn&#x27;t impressive.

Why is there no AlphaZero for theorem proving?

Maybe that was true with Fable as well.  But one prompt which took 5 minutes of clock time, used 50% of the resources of a Pro account for the 5 hour window.

Tell HN: Google Argon on a Pro subscription is worthless

I have been reading a lot about computing revolution in 60s&#x2F;70s. Seeing a lot of parallels to today. A bunch of enterprises spent millions on these IBM&#x2F;DEC machines but didn&#x27;t see any ROI. But then a lot of consulting and product companies popped up to help with that.
IBM&#x2F;DEC had crazy high margins during this time (similar to Nvidia&#x2F;micron etc) but all withered away eventually. In the end the software companies (Microsoft, Google etc.) captured most of the value, what&#x27;s the equivalent of that for AI?

AI Revolution vs. Computing Revolution

I heard about the backstory behind the creation of VectorCraft a week ago. I actually gave it a try, and—good god—what a piece of AI-generated slop it turned out to be. I don’t get what all the hype is about.

VectorCraft vs. Figma vs. Penpot vs. Adobe Illustrator vs. Wunjo Design?

The thing is in the past there can be supply chain attacks but when its an actual programmer creating the software there is at least a chance for them to notice if something is up.But if the app is not even created by a programmer whats stopping prompt injection from including some virus in the app?Aren&#x27;t we completely blind to security issues at that point?

Ask HN: Are you hesitant to install vibe-coded apps?

Hey folks, Anyone know if it&#x27;s possible to upgrade to macOS 27.0.1 without Siri eating up all of the disk? I only have ~70G left on this Mac and with the posts I&#x27;ve seen of late, I&#x27;m concerned upgrading will eat all the disk space left on this Mac :&#x2F;

Ask HN: macOS 27.x upgrade without Siri eating disk space?

Quick survey and share my pains in the meantime:
- The audience has limited attention bandwidth, to present the product well in a short period of time is challenging.
- To record a product demo requires to move the mouse quickly and often have to switch among various web pages or apps frequently, which is a real challenge with the time limit
- Follow the script to operate the product while recording can include many backs and forth
- It&#x27;s difficult to explain well while operating the product with time limit
- Putting together the recordings and BGM is another barrier

Survey: How do you create the video demo for your project or product?

Which books did you read at least twice? Please give author, title, and how often you have read it.For me the (probably incomplete list) is:Connie Willis: Doomsday Book (three times)Neal Stephenson: Cryptonomicon, Anathem, Quicksilver, The Confusion, The System of the World (twice or three times)Frank Herbert: Dune (three times)Tolkien: Lord of the Rings (three times)Stephen King: Salem&#x27;s Lot, The Shining, It (three times each)Stephen King &amp; Peter Straub: The Talisman (twice)Vernor Vinge: A Deepness in the Sky, A Fire Upon The Deep, Rainbow&#x27;s End (each twice)Tracy Kidder: The Soul of a New Machine (twice)Larry McMurtry: Lonesome Dove (twice)Ross Thomas: Chinaman&#x27;s Chance (twice)William Gibson: Neuromancer, The Peripheral, Agency (each twice)

I’d be interested in examining it. How about codex?

Ask HN: Has anyone decompiled Claude Code yet?

I sometimes read Show HN, and there is literally no creativity at all: note-taker app after note-taker clone. Everyone is essentially looking at what’s already there, and they say, “Why can’t I create the exact same product, but worse, and add an AI suffix?”There is nothing creative about AI. Show HN might as well be renamed “Prompt HN.” These promoters always say, “Prompting makes me efficient; I don’t have to write code by hand anymore.”Great. What has your “efficiency” gotten you? Yet another note-taker with an “AI” suffix? I could take notes in 1990.Where did the actual engineers go? Surely they aren’t all selling ads at Facebook’s spyware empire? Where are the transistor, the C programming language, Emacs, and SQLite developers of our time?

Ask HN: Where has creativity in software gone?

We have WorkOS and are sending out activation emails for our beta product. They activation email (with the link) ends up in spam. We&#x27;ve tried so many different combos (plain text vs. html, vs. no hyperlink), and it seems like anything with a link is getting bounced. I&#x27;m worried about our domain health and curious if there&#x27;s a better way to diagnose the problem

Domain Health

I used to (and sometimes still do) love really thinking about a problem - pen and paper, whiteboards, thinking on the tornado throne, you name it.And before AI, the projects I came up with might not have been the BEST or life-changing but they were the result of me hyper-focusing on something niche for an inordinate amount of time. Which inevitably meant I learned a lot AND anyone who saw that had a predictable reaction &quot;that&#x27;s so cool, you need a life, but still cool&quot;. And I&#x27;ve interpreted that as a recognition of skill and care. On occasion that has even landed me opportunities that I didn&#x27;t even know existed.These days I find myself wondering if there&#x27;s anything that isn&#x27;t a prompt (or a few hundred) away. And if it is, what would make my skills valuable or even visible. Specifically in the context of soon becoming an ex-student, current struggling new-grad, I keep wondering what signals indicate skills to an outsider (and not a SKILLS.MD). A resume by itself is quickly becoming deceptive with most projects just being the product of barking at a model with half-baked ideas until something resembling a working prototype comes out.To be clear, I&#x27;m not a pessimist. I don&#x27;t think its time to till the fields for our overlords. I&#x27;m trying to understand what advice people think is still applicable and what is a relic that needs a patch or two.TL;DR: AI projects are impressive but don&#x27;t always indicate skills. How do i signal skills and not just ideas and prototypes?
