Show HN: Vulnsy – A platform for vulnerability management and reportinghttps://www.vulnsy.comI've spent over 10 years doing penetration tests and red team engagements, and one thing that always seemed to take far longer than it should was reporting.Most reporting platforms do a great job of managing reusable findings, but I still found myself digging out old reports and copying the same narrative sections over and over again.Many engagements contain pages describing methodology, attack paths, privilege escalation and post-exploitation that only need small changes between clients. I wanted those sections to be just as reusable as findings.I built Vulnsy to make the entire report reusable. Alongside reusable findings, you can build libraries of narrative sections, assemble reports quickly, customise them for each engagement and export professional reports without copying content between Word documents.There's lots more you can do too..Jul 17, 2026 11:02 AM

Scheduled for launch in early 2027, the Henon CubeSat will be flown as a secondary passenger alongside ESA’s PLATO telescope, which will be tasked with finding Earth-like exoplanets. According to the agency’s 16 July press release, […] The post ESA Selects Ariane 6 to Launch Deep Space CubeSat appeared first on European Spaceflight.Jul 16, 2026 2:59 PM

Show HN: Inspection Credit – read your inspection, draft the negotiationhttps://www.inspectioncredit.comHi HN. I built Inspection Credit because the inspection-response window in a home purchase is one of the worst-designed parts of the entire transaction.You get a 60 to 90 page inspection report at 11pm. You have 5 days to respond. Half the report is photos of outlets. A third is non-issues. The 3 or 4 things that actually matter are buried on page 47 next to a missing smoke detector. Your inspector legally cannot advise on negotiation. Your agent makes commission when you close, not when you walk. So you decide, alone, in a panic.The product takes the PDF and returns a packet with the negotiable findings, a credit-request letter, an escalation script for seller pushback, walk-away guidance that references your state's standard inspection-response form, and a UPL-defensive disclaimer. $79, refundable if the report turns up nothing worth negotiating.A few engineering notes:(1) The aggregator sites (HomeAdvisor, Fixr, Angi, HomeGuide) disagree by 30 to 50 percent on the same repair scope.May 11, 2026 5:47 PM

Webb & Hubble find massive star clusters emerge fasterhttps://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Webb/Webb_Hubble_find_massive_star_clusters_emerge_fasterAstronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope together with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have looked deeply at thousands of young star clusters in four nearby galaxies, studying clusters at different stages of evolution. Their findings show that more massive star clusters emerge more quickly from the clouds they are born in, clearing away gas and filling the galaxy with ultraviolet light. The result gives us a more detailed understanding of star formation in galaxies, as well as how and where planets can form.May 6, 2026 10:00 AM

I'm struggling and I don't have anyone else to share this with except youhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47341498I'm hurting in ways that I haven't in a long time. I work corporate, I'm in my 30s, support my wife and kids. I come to work every day and work hard, but more than that, I'm some who gets along with absolutely everyone. I listen to people. I elevate them. I validate them. That is just my personality type.But I keep finding out that people go out of their way to say something negative about me. The way I find out is through my boss. My boss then addresses it with me.Today I found out a former manager who worked here for only two months on our team told my boss that I was on my phone all day and taking call after call. I know what day this was because she even mentioned the topic I was talking about (i.e., I was getting a lumber quote for a personal project; call lasted maybe two minutes). That was the ONLY call I took that day, and I hate being on my phone during. So that was not true either.Another person "told" on me, saying that I'm in the bathroom too much and that I they saw me on Mar 11, 2026 8:49 PM

Show HN: Irpapers – Visual embeddings vs. OCR trade-offs in scientific PDFshttps://github.com/weaviate/query-agent-benchmarkingHey HN, we are releasing IRPAPERS to answer a highly pragmatic question: when building a RAG pipeline over PDFs, should you OCR the text or just embed the raw page images?Processing PDFs in production usually involves stringing together brittle OCR heuristics. While recent multimodal embeddings (like ColModernVBERT or ColPali) allow you to skip OCR entirely and retrieve directly from visual layouts, we wanted to measure if the computational overhead is actually worth the utility.The short answer: Transformer-based image pipelines won't be perfect for every use-case, but they fix exactly what OCR breaks.Here is what we found benchmarking 3,230 pages of dense scientific literature:Complementary Bottlenecks: Text representations (BM25 + dense vectors) are highly efficient for exact lexical constraints (e.g., finding a specific acronym like "HyDE"). Conversely, image embeddings shine on spatial architecture diagrams and t-SNE plots where OCR serialization just turns into structural garbageFeb 23, 2026 5:10 PM

Tiny patches of deforestation drive tropical carbon losshttps://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/Space_for_our_climate/Tiny_patches_of_deforestation_drive_tropical_carbon_lossOften called Earth’s green lungs, tropical forests pull down massive amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, release oxygen and help regulate the global climate. While the threat of large-scale deforestation is well known, new findings reveal a surprising culprit – the clearance of small areas of forest accounts for more than half of net carbon losses across the Tropics.Jan 8, 2026 7:30 AM

A recent study outlines a deeply integrated positioning method that combines commercial 5G New Radio (NR) signals with Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) to address these issues.
