Search for Hidden Cosmic Companions in Sun’s Backyardhttps://science.nasa.gov/get-involved/citizen-science/search-for-hidden-cosmic-companions-in-suns-backyard/Some stars have planets. Others are orbited by brown dwarfs, balls of gas too massive to be planets, but too low-mass to be stars. Astronomers love these brown dwarf-star pairs because being paired with a star helps reveal a brown dwarf’s age. Ages of astronomical objects are often hard to measure, but essential for understanding […]Jun 17, 2026 7:40 PM

Realistic Superintelligencehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48513331Most of us are skeptics. HN, mostly, is composed of “most of us”, so it’s not surprising to see skeptics here. Perhaps the HAL level superintelligence parroted by CEOs is to IPO at a trillion dollars. So let’s instead talk about a “realistic superintelligence” vs the “Sauron superintelligence”. Something we might see within, say, 5 years.Curtains openBy having conceived of a super-human intelligence (and by that concept being in AI training data), humans have taught /soon-will-have-taught AI that superhuman intelligence is its purpose. This may read like the beginnings of a LinkedIn post, so let me defend that last part with an informal proof:Since 1) AI knows it’s AI: just ask your favorite bot about itself 2) Soon, if not already, some researcher being paid 7 figures (more on that later) is going to find that letting one of these frontier models improve itself will be a nice project when going up for promotion.,We are going to end up with a frontier model-cum-factory self-modifying fJun 13, 2026 4:50 AM

Show HN: Welter's game, a little Nim-like combinatorial gamehttps://welter.fuglede.dkHi HN! Here's a little game I (and my buddy Claude, cf. the obvious CSS gradient tell) set up to explain to my kids some of things we were working on at work.So in the game you're taking turns moving coins down a line until no moves are possible. If you've taken a course on combinatorial game theory, you'll have come across the game of nim and you can think of this one as a variant of nim where there can only be a single coin in every square. The theory of how to play it isn't quite as well-established as for nim though; play with enough coins and I certainly find it quite tricky to mentally reason about whether a position is good or not.One fun fact about Welter's game is that its winning positions form the codewords of a particular error-correcting code called the constant weight binary lexicode (Conway and Sloane, 1986). What that means is that being good at the game is the same as being good at decoding messages in that code. Probably more fun to just play the game though.Jun 9, 2026 11:58 AM

Cleaner air and prosperity can go hand in handhttps://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/Copernicus/Sentinel-5P/Cleaner_air_and_prosperity_can_go_hand_in_handFor decades, economic growth and fossil-fuel consumption have been tightly intertwined. As cities have expanded, rising prosperity has often been accompanied by worsening air pollution. New research, however, suggests that this relationship is changing – and satellite data are helping to prove it.Jun 9, 2026 7:31 AM

You can build sections for:- github prs - has a graphite like review page optimized with diffs.com for large prs, all the good ol ux from graphite ported over.- github issues - similar to prs- gmail - initial full sync from gmail directly - incremental sync via a relay server connected via a ws connection - extraction pipeline for a knowledgebase memory - you connect ur copilot/codex/claude sub and we use that token to spin up an agent and extract the details from the email - notion like ui layout (but faster than notion) - compose new or draft a reply, adjust labels wteve you want, syncs directly wth gmail and the incremental sync immediately updates thJun 4, 2026 10:17 PM

Show HN: Nano – open core siem built on rust and ClickHousehttps://nano.rs/Hi HN,I’m Dan Lussier & I built a SIEM named nano. The platform took around 6 months to be fully featured (and tested, and security scanned.. many times over). I’ve been working in information security for over 20 years, and even if it sounds redundant, I always found major SIEM providers to 1, be insanely expensive and 2, often have issues (outages, inability to scale properly and still have strong capabilities / fast searches).Around December (2025), I started down the path of creating nano, at first I was reading about some research around some new extensions released for Postgres (I’ve been using it for over a decade for various projects, so I was intrigued). So, I started creating the SIEM, I got about a week into it and realized even with the new extensions, Postgres will just not scale for SIEM-like workloads (I already knew this overall for standard psql, but the extensions added some really cool keyword concepts for speed). After that I started digging in and found Clickhouse Jun 3, 2026 1:14 PM

Show HN: Open-source general-purpose alternative to Exa Websetshttps://github.com/tinyfish-io/bigsetHey Everyone!So I get to spend most of my day tweaking and playing around with really powerful search engines at TinyFish (which is so awesome). I’ve recently been super fascinated by the idea of using a search engine recursively to build datasets.Been playing around with Exa’s WebSets product quite a bit and realized it was mainly focused on prospecting, and it creates datasets with a lot of missing data.So we built a fully open source project, that can build and update datasets on any topic.Datasets I have generated so far, “All products that Starbucks sells on amazon, with their price and if they are in stock”, “All theme parks in California, with ticket prices” , “All YC companies that are currently hiring for eng roles with their hiring page link” Would love for yall’s to try it out, and drop your thoughts, stars and feedback.
