I recently had a conversation with an engineer who optimized assembly lines at Black &amp; Decker in 1981 using an Apple II.<p>He described how they measured atomic hand movements (reach, grasp, orient) in decimal seconds to balance the line. But he made a distinction that stuck with me:<p>Back then, the goal was Flow (smoothness), which inherently required some slack in the system. Today, he argued, the goal of modern management is Utilization (removing every micro-second of downtime).<p>His quote: &quot;We deleted the &#x27;waiting,&#x27; but we forgot that the waiting was the only time the human got to breathe.&quot;<p>I feel like I see this exact pattern in Software Engineering now. We treat Developer Idle Time as a defect to be eliminated by JIRA tickets, rather than the necessary slack required for thinking.<p>Ask HN: For those who have been in the industry for 20+ years, do you agree?

Basically was getting annoyed jumping between 5 different sites during this winter storm season, so I built &quot;StormWatch&quot;. It&#x27;s a no-fuss, mobile-friendly webpage (dashboard) that shows all the stuff I was looking for, but in one simple UI.<p>Features:<p>- Real-time NWS alerts with safety tips - Snow&#x2F;ice&#x2F;precip accumulation forecasts (+wind) - Dynamic preparation checklists based on your alerts - Supply calculator for your household size - Regional weather news<p>It&#x27;s free, no login required, works on any device. Just enter your ZIP.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jeisey.github.io&#x2F;stormwatch&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jeisey.github.io&#x2F;stormwatch&#x2F;</a><p>Uses NWS and GDELT APIs and open source. Feel free to fork and modify however you&#x27;d like.<p>For builders: - Used an API-testing agent to verify all endpoints, response patterns, types, and rate limits - Used a scope &amp; validation agent to keep the slices simple, focused, and tested - VS-code Copilot (Sonnet 4 for dev agents + Opus 4.5 for scope and validation)

Tell HN: iCloud with Advanced Data Protection doesn't delete your files

I discovered something concerning about iCloud&#x27;s Advanced Data Protection (ADP) that Apple doesn&#x27;t disclose: deleted files are never actually removed from their servers. The Test: I have a 5 Mbit&#x2F;sec upload connection. I copied 6GB of my personal files (music, videos, photos) to iCloud Drive. They &quot;uploaded&quot; in 15 minutes— which is impossible at my bandwidth. The files were previously uploaded a long ago and deleted since. To verify, I checked Activity Monitor: only 3.42GB total data sent since boot, including web browsing. The 6GB upload never happened.<p>Confirmation Test: Created a 100MB file with random data: dd if=&#x2F;dev&#x2F;urandom of=randomfile.dat bs=1m count=100 Uploaded to iCloud: took 2-3 minutes, Activity Monitor showed 122MB sent (correct) Deleted the file from iCloud Drive &quot;Permanently deleted&quot; from Recently Deleted and emptied any files from Data recovery. Re-uploaded the identical file: completed in 1 second Activity Monitor: essentially zero data sent<p>Apple kept the encrypted blocks even after &quot;permanent deletion.&quot;<p>The month-long test (in progress): I&#x27;m keeping the random file and will attempt to re-upload it after 30+ days to see if Apple purges data on any schedule, or retains it indefinitely.<p>Why this matters: ADP is marketed as giving users exclusive control over their data &quot;Delete&quot; and &quot;Permanent Delete&quot; options imply data removal Upload progress bars show fake &quot;uploading&quot; status for deduplication operations Users cannot verify what data Apple retains. To attempt permanent deletion, you must disable ADP web access<p>What&#x27;s unclear: Does this apply to Health data, Passwords, and other ADP-protected content? How long does Apple retain &quot;deleted&quot; encrypted blocks? Can users ever truly remove their data?<p>I&#x27;m not claiming the encryption is weak—it&#x27;s probably fine. But Apple&#x27;s lack of transparency about data retention and deduplication with ADP is concerning. &quot;Permanent delete&quot; should mean permanent delete. Has anyone else noticed this behavior? I&#x27;ll update this post after completing the 30-day retention test.

I built Polymcp, a framework that allows you to transform any Python function into an MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool ready to be used by AI agents. No rewriting, no complex integrations.<p>Examples<p>Simple function:<p>from polymcp.polymcp_toolkit import expose_tools_http<p>def add(a: int, b: int) -&gt; int: &quot;&quot;&quot;Add two numbers&quot;&quot;&quot; return a + b<p>app = expose_tools_http([add], title=&quot;Math Tools&quot;)<p>Run with:<p>uvicorn server_mcp:app --reload<p>Now add is exposed via MCP and can be called directly by AI agents.<p>API function:<p>import requests from polymcp.polymcp_toolkit import expose_tools_http<p>def get_weather(city: str): &quot;&quot;&quot;Return current weather data for a city&quot;&quot;&quot; response = requests.get(f&quot;<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;api.weatherapi.com&#x2F;v1&#x2F;current.json?q={city}" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;api.weatherapi.com&#x2F;v1&#x2F;current.json?q={city}</a>&quot;) return response.json()<p>app = expose_tools_http([get_weather], title=&quot;Weather Tools&quot;)<p>AI agents can call get_weather(&quot;London&quot;) to get real-time weather data instantly.<p>Business workflow function:<p>import pandas as pd from polymcp.polymcp_toolkit import expose_tools_http<p>def calculate_commissions(sales_data: list[dict]): &quot;&quot;&quot;Calculate sales commissions from sales data&quot;&quot;&quot; df = pd.DataFrame(sales_data) df[&quot;commission&quot;] = df[&quot;sales_amount&quot;] * 0.05 return df.to_dict(orient=&quot;records&quot;)<p>app = expose_tools_http([calculate_commissions], title=&quot;Business Tools&quot;)<p>AI agents can now generate commission reports automatically.<p>Why it matters for companies • Reuse existing code immediately: legacy scripts, internal libraries, APIs. • Automate complex workflows: AI can orchestrate multiple tools reliably. • Plug-and-play: multiple Python functions exposed on the same MCP server. • Reduce development time: no custom wrappers or middleware needed. • Built-in reliability: input&#x2F;output validation and error handling included.<p>Polymcp makes Python functions immediately usable by AI agents, standardizing integration across enterprise software.<p>Repo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;poly-mcp&#x2F;Polymcp" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;poly-mcp&#x2F;Polymcp</a>

For example, Android builds steer towards using `sdkmanager --licenses`.<p>Suppose I get a preconfigured VPS with Claude Code, and ask it to make an android port of an app I have built, it will almost always automatically downloads the sdkmanager and accepts the license.<p>That is the flow that exists many times in its training data (which represents its own interesting wrinkle).<p>Regardless of what is in the license; I was a bit surprised to see it happen, and I&#x27;m sure I won&#x27;t be the last nor will the android sdk license be the only one.<p>What is the legal status of an agreement accepted in such a manner - and perhaps more importantly - what ought to be the legal status considering that any position you take will be exploited by bad faith ~~actors~~ agents?

Hey HN,<p>I&#x27;ve struggled with time-blindness my whole life. ADHD means I can write 14 tasks on a to-do list and genuinely believe I&#x27;ll finish them before lunch. Reality disagrees at 11 PM when everything falls apart.<p>DayZen is my solution: your day as a 24-hour radial clock. Tasks become colored arcs. When the circle fills up, it&#x27;s full. No more lying to yourself about what actually fits.<p>Just shipped 1.4 with Focus Mode The new version adds features I&#x27;ve wanted since day one:<p>Focus Mode: Full-screen timer that zooms into your current task. Distractions fade, simple controls keep you on track. Built it because I kept checking my phone to see &quot;what&#x27;s next&quot; and losing 15 minutes to Reddit.<p>Live Activities + Dynamic Island: Your active focus session shows on Lock Screen with time remaining and progress bar. Sounds simple, but it&#x27;s been genuinely game-changing for staying aware without pulling out my phone.<p>Insights: Added analytics (today&#x2F;weekly&#x2F;monthly&#x2F;yearly) with streaks and category breakdowns. Turns out I spend 40% of my time on &quot;Important but not urgent&quot; which explains a lot.<p>Time awareness improvements: Specifically designed for ADHD time blindness. Visual feedback makes abstract time concrete.<p>Why a radial clock? Linear lists hide the finite nature of your day. They feel infinite, so you keep adding tasks. A circle forces honesty. Conflicts glow red immediately. You see gaps. You make the hard choices before the day starts, not at midnight when you&#x27;re burned out. Technical details:<p>Built native iOS with SwiftUI Two-way calendar sync (Google, Outlook, Apple) Local-first, iCloud sync between devices No account needed, no tracking, no ads Lock Screen widgets use WidgetKit with Live Activities API Recurring tasks auto-generate instances for next 30 days<p>Privacy approach: Your schedule stays on your device. I don&#x27;t collect, sell, or see your data. No analytics, no crash reporting, no server calls except calendar sync (which uses system auth). This was non-negotiable for me as both an ADHD person and someone who values privacy.<p>Looking for feedback on:<p>Does the radial approach click for you, or is it too different?<p>Focus Mode UX: Does the minimalism help or is it too minimal?<p>What other time-blindness features would help?<p>Try it: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dayzen.xyz&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dayzen.xyz&#x2F;</a><p>Site:Happy to answer questions about the technical implementation or design decisions. Built the whole thing solo over the past year while working full-time, so there are definitely rough edges I&#x27;m still smoothing out.

I built this because measuring my age in years felt boring—I wanted to see the kilometers.<p>The first version only used Earth&#x27;s orbital speed (~30km&#x2F;s), but the number moved too slowly. To get the &quot;existential dread&quot; feeling, I switched to using the Milky Way&#x27;s velocity relative to the CMB (~600km&#x2F;s). The math takes some liberties (using scalar sum instead of vector) to make the speed feel &quot;fast,&quot; but it gets the point across.<p>Under the hood, it&#x27;s a single HTML file with zero dependencies. No React, no build step. The main challenge was the canvas starfield—I had to pre-allocate the star objects to stop the garbage collector from causing stutters on mobile.<p>Let me know if the physics makes you angry or if the stars run smooth on your device.

Hi HN, founders of VibeFlow (YC S25) here.<p>We mostly work on backend and workflow tooling, but we needed a way to turn Figma designs into frontend code as a kickstart for prototyping. It takes a Figma frame and converts it into React + Tailwind components (plus assets).<p>If you want to try it: You can run it locally or use it via the VibeFlow UI to poke at it without setup (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.vibeflow.ai&#x2F;">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.vibeflow.ai&#x2F;</a>)

Title says it all. Wish I was kidding.<p>I had a power outage tonight even before the big snow arrived. My shitty power utility has a call back feature if they restore power, which is useful since I have to throw the primary disconnect to use my generator.<p>They called as I finished getting the generator going and I answered while standing nearby. This is an automated system that waits for a voice, and I said &#x27;Yo&#x27; into the handset. Immediately after the loudest recording I&#x27;ve ever heard played through the speaker causing sharp pain and ringing as the handset was seated directly over my left ear. I pulled it away within a second but this was like a gunshot near my ear.<p>What I want to know is, does the iPhone have an adaptive volume &#x27;feature&#x27; that CRANKS the volume when it picks up ambient noise to damaging levels? I just answered as it was a normal call, no speaker option and I am certain I did not increase volume after the call began. I&#x27;ve never experienced it going this loud.<p>Also, since I&#x27;ve never experienced an acute hearing injury like this, should I be going to ER? This happened within the past hour and while there&#x27;s no bleeding coming out of the ear, I do have high pitched constant ringing (in just that ear) Is there anything that can be done or am I just screwed if it caused damage?
