Design flaw vs manufacturing/logistics problem

If it is swarms of drones thats the risk. Couldn’t we have defensive drone swarms? Isn’t anduril working on drone submarine? Just trying to understand how we can tactically defeat this problem since politics doesn’t seem to be a solution here.

Ask HN: Tactical/military reasons for difficulty unblocking the Hormuz Straits?

Naively couldn’t you have a convoy with a mine sweeper at the front. Hundreds of tankers in a line and then guard ships/aircraft on the sides? What weapons/tactics does Iran have that work well etc?

I’ve been looking for something like your brothers app. Used to use an app called helium for floating video windows. I’ll check it out!

Ask HN: What happens when you block/mark as spam a call or text?

dsalzman — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 19:23:42 +0000

I’ve been getting more and more spam calls and texts. I always try to block and mark as spam but the same “people” just call back from other numbers offering business loans. “Anthony Schmidt” is a prolific dialerbot.

What is happening on the backend here and why can this not be fixed?

Doing something similar. Bought a business in the petroleum equipment service space. Building internal tools for ourselves. Pen and paper still dominates the industry.

This looks awesome. Embedded programming doesn’t get enough love. Did you think about making this an MCP (aka plugin) service that general agents a la claude code can leverage?
