Spaceflight study links astronaut biology to reversible shifts in epigenetic agehttps://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Spaceflight_study_links_astronaut_biology_to_reversible_shifts_in_epigenetic_age_999.htmlLos Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 14, 2026 When the four member crew of Axiom 2 launched on a 10 day mission in May 2023, their time in orbit carried a dense manifest of biomedical experiments aimed at probing human physiology under spaceflight conditions. A new analysis led by scientists at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging uses blood samples from that mission to position spaceflight as a model system for studying biologica

Stop trusting torch.load() – I built a tool to scan AI models for RCEhttps://github.com/ArseniiBrazhnyk/VeritensorHi HN,I've been working with MLOps pipelines lately, and it always bothered me that torch.load() (and Pickle in general) is basically an RCE vulnerability we've all just accepted. We download gigabytes of opaque weights from Hugging Face and run them in production, often with full privileges.I looked for existing tools, but many relied on simple regex (easy to bypass) or didn't verify if the file was tampered with in transit.So I built Veritensor. It’s a CLI tool to gatekeep models before they hit your runtime.How it works under the hood: 1. Pickle Emulation — Instead of grepping for os.system, it emulates the Pickle VM stack. This catches obfuscated payloads (like STACK_GLOBAL assembly) without actually executing the code. 2. Identity Check — It hashes your local file and queries the Hugging Face Hub API to ensure it matches the upstream version bit-for-bit (detects MITM or corruption). 3. License Headers — It parses metadata from Safetensors/GGUF to detect restrictive licenses (like

Show HN: StarRupture Calculator – A Simple Production Planner for StarRupturehttps://starrupturecalculator.com/Hi HN, I made StarRupture Calculator, a free web tool for the game StarRupture.StarRupture is a sci-fi survival and factory-building game. As the factory grows, it becomes hard to calculate production chains, building counts, and power usage. I built this tool to make planning easier.With StarRupture Calculator, you can: • Calculate production chains and required buildings • See visual production flows • Compare different recipes • Check power consumption • Save and export your plansAll data comes directly from the game files, so the numbers are accurate. The tool runs fully in the browser, is free, and has no ads. This is a fan-made, non-official project.Website: https://starrupturecalculator.com/Feedback is welcome. Thanks!

Indian rocket hits snag during launchhttps://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Indian_rocket_hits_snag_during_launch_999.htmlNew Delhi (AFP) Jan 12, 2026 An Indian rocket hit a snag during its launch Monday, forcing a deviation in flight path as it carried an Earth observation satellite and commercial payloads, the country's space agency said. The PSLV-C62, a four-stage launch vehicle, "encountered an anomaly" towards the end of the third stage, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) posted on X, without saying exactly what went wrong.

Tell HN: Intel could blow up the Console Wars if it had the gutshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46607497Intel has spent the last decade chasing moonshots: AI accelerators, Optane, RealSense, Thunderbolt branding. All while slowly bleeding out cultural relevance. Meanwhile, gamers, devs and power users are quietly revolting against walled gardens and bloated software. Windows is being shoehorned into an "agentic OS," consoles are doubling down on subscription models, and users are mourning the loss of simplicity and control.When was the last time you were unpleasantly surprised by a big, required update when you try to play a game?Intel has a once-in-a-decade chance to blow the doors off the console wars and make Linux mainstream. But it requires something Intel hasn't shown in years: restraint and aggression.Here's the play:1. Build the box: Take Panther Lake. Stick it in a boring little box that fits under the TV. No RGB. No gimmicks. Just raw performance in a console-size form factor.2. Ship SteamOS: Boot it straight into Big Picture mode. No custom UI. No Intel launcher. No "ecosystem

Stellar mass black holes form in the final gravitational collapse of massive stars with several tens of the mass of the Sun, and these heavyweights were thought not to produce bright supernova

Show HN: Touch grass – I built social media that wants you to close ithttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46587757I wanted old school social media back. Actual connections with friends. Not pity likes and performances and highlight reels.All my friends have stopped posting. Everyone's a lurker now. I'm a lurker. The only time I see what anyone's doing is when it's a humblebrag. I have no idea what's actually going on in my friends' lives besides the ones I see every week or so.So I built touch grass. You post once a week: 3 easy questions, max 3 photos. Sunday 6pm mountain time (yeah its my time zone) everyone's posts unlock at the same time. You catch up on what your people have been doing, then close the app. No likes, no comments, no algorithm, no advertisers, no bullshit, besides that one friend maybe.It's not about content. It's about keeping the connection warm. I see my friend went to the Cowboys game (Texans represent), I text him and ask how it was. That's it. That's the whole point. A reason to actually reach out.I've weirdly learned more about my parents in the last 5 weeks than the las
