Risk of In-Mission Injury and Performance Decrements and Long-term Health Effects due to Dynamic Loads (Dynamic Loads Risk)https://www.nasa.gov/directorates/esdmd/hhp/dynamic-loads-risk/Standards and vehicle design requirements are based on automotive and military environments and operational protocols; they are also partially tailored to the spaceflight environment. However, these do not adequately mitigate the risk of injury due to the unique spaceflight environment.

Show HN: Browser Buddy – Internet For-You Pagehttps://www.browserbuddy.com/Hey HN, thank you for being a part of the internet we love. We’re Arnav, Mo, Jeremy and we’re building an “Internet for-you page” that recommends blogs and essays based on your interests. Try it here (https://www.browserbuddy.com/)!We love to discover and learn from personal blogs, essays, and articles on the internet. But despite exciting advancements in language modeling, it’s felt harder to discover interesting links from real people.We believe there is untapped potential to use these language models as “curators” rather than “creators”. To explore this, we’re building a recommendation system that curates content for you based on the links you visit from our site. Pasting a link into the input bar to find similar sites also influences your recommendations.Under the hood, we’ve trained a decoder model (llama) to understand how people recommend sites through hyperlinks and used it to embed ~40 million sites. These embeddings are served in a custom database we’re building to run fast oMar 11, 2025 5:22 PM

Show HN: UDP and Serverlesshttps://proxylity.com/landing/love.htmlHi HN!I'm Lee, the founder and developer of Proxylity.I became interested in UDP as a part of exploring game development, experimenting with IoT/embedded, and running global RADIUS authentication systems. I even wrote a specialized load balancer for it[1].One of my takeaways is how little innovation has happened in UDP-based backend software. It's been the same pattern for decades: old code for stateful processes running on clusters, VMs or containers. Familiar, but expensive (time and/or money) and restrictive.Meanwhile, while the HTTP world has benefited from eliminating most barriers to experimentation: setting up a new HTTP API or site has little to no initial cost, and usage-based cost once running. As a result we have "the web" as we know it today -- full of experimentation and creativity. I'd like to see the same happen for network services in general, and ride the wave created by giants[2][3].UDP is stateless and serverless is stateless, which seems like a match that works.

Show HN: A big tech dev experience for an open source CMShttps://contentfoundry.com/Hey HN! We're building an open-source CMS designed to help creators with every part of the content production pipeline.We're showing our tiny first step: A tool designed to take in a Twitter username and produce an "identity card" based on it. We expect to use an approach similar to [Constitutional AI] with an explicit focus on repeatability, testability, and verification of an "identity card." We think this approach could be used to create finetuning examples for training changes, or serve as inference time insight for LLMs, or most likely a combination of the two.The tooling we're showing today is extremely simplistic (and the AI is frankly bad) but this is intentional. We're more focused on showing the dev experience and community aspects. We'd like to make it easier to contribute to this project than edit Wikipedia. Communities are frustrated with things like Wordpress, Apache, and other open source foundations focusing on things other than software. We have a lot of community ideaMar 7, 2025 5:24 PM

Show HN: Automatically Turn PDFs into Fillable Formshttps://detect.penpusher.appMy hobby project is building a form filling assistant for complex forms, but it turns out that not every PDF form is digitally fillable. A lot of PDF forms are still made with the expectation that you print and fill them by hand. To fix this, I trained a series of models that detect where form fields _should _ exist, then built this utility to turn them into interactive forms.In my experience it's the best tool for the job across nearly every form. It ended up being super useful and pretty close to free to run (thanks Modal!), so I've hosted it as a free utility at https://detect.penpusher.app.There are some advanced settings as well, so if you're not getting good results with a specific pipeline you can try tweaking those, or let me know and I'd be happy to take a look. Plus the next round of model training is focused on improving handling of scans.Hope this is useful and happy to answer any questions!Mar 5, 2025 5:28 PM

Show HN: Scholium, Your Own Research Assistanthttps://github.com/QDScholium/ScholiumAII built an AI-powered research agent designed to efficiently discover, summarize, and cite relevant academic papers based on user queries.As a university student, I've written my share of essays and have also served as a copy editor for our student newspaper. During fact-checking, I noticed that Google often prioritizes unreliable and unscholarly resources—such as Medium articles, Reddit posts, and LinkedIn content—in its top results over scholarly ones. For instance, searching "Transformers" yields six blogs and articles before finally listing the Vaswani (2017) paper. This makes gathering credible sources and verifying facts tedious and time-consuming.I realized that much of the repetitive work involved in fact-checking and source collection could be streamlined using a vector database paired with a retrieval model, inspiring me to create Scholium, an AI-driven research assistant that recommends and summarizes academic papers relevant to your queries.
