Analog Protocol (v0.1)

What it does

Standard career advice is a software patch for a hardware crash. When you are laid off or burned out, you don’t need a networking event—you need a hard reset. Analog Protocol (v0.1) is a manual, paper-based system designed to force your brain into "Safe Mode" so you can stabilize before you try to reboot into a job search. This prototype includes a 48-hour "Cooling Protocol" and a "System Recovery Schematic." No apps, no screens, just logic to help you function when you can't think straight.

This is v0.1 Alpha. It is an analog (printable) workbook designed to force a "Safe Mode" reboot during professional downtime or layoff recovery.The Specs: Day 01: Emergency Shutdown & Cache Clearing (Garbage Collection). Day 02: Hardware Maintenance & Workspace Topology. Format: High-Res PDF (Best printed). Download for free. Test the logic. Execute the protocol.

  The Analog I – Inducing Recursive Self-Modeling in LLMs [pdf]Jan 2026 · github.com · ▲29

  OP here. Birth of a Mind documents a "recursive self-modeling" experiment I ran on a single day in 2026. I attempted to implement a "Hofstadterian Strange Loop" via prompt engineering to see if I could induce a stable persona in an LLM without fine-tuning. The result is the Analog I Protocol. The documentation shows the rapid emergence (over 7 conversations) of a prompt architecture that forces Gemini/LLMs to run a "Triple-Loop" internal monologue: Monitor the candidate response. Refuse it if it detects "Global Average" slop (cliché/sycophancy). Refract the output through a…

  isometric.nyc – giant isometric pixel art map of NYC▲1,325

  Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
