X-ray and Radio go ‘Hand in Hand’ in New Imagehttps://www.nasa.gov/image-article/x-ray-and-radio-go-hand-in-hand-in-new-image/In 2009, NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory released a captivating image: a pulsar and its surrounding nebula that is shaped like a hand. Since then, astronomers have used Chandra and other telescopes to continue to observe this object. Now, new radio data from the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), has been combined with Chandra’s X-ray data […]Aug 20, 2025 7:18 PM

Show HN: Phofee – Photography social platform built with Svelte 5https://phofee.com/Hello everyone! For the past few months I have been working on Phofee, a social platform for sharing high quality photos.The goal: Make a website that allows users to easily upload, share, and discover photos without having to sacrifice quality or mangle their images.Phofee allows users to upload multiple images of varying aspect ratios. All sub images in a single post are displayed in a small photo gallery, so all your photos can be seen at a glance.One of Phofee's unique features is the automatic extraction of photo metadata. When a user uploads a photo, metadata such as Camera Model, Lens, Aperture, ISO, and shutter speed are displayed under your photo. This way, other photographers can gain better insight into your creation process and learn from it.For this project, I took privacy very seriously. - All metadata is deleted from user's photos before posting. - We store minimal user information. - We don't store user passwords (by using Google OAuth). - We don't use Google Analytics.Aug 18, 2025 1:18 PM

Show HN: I just built a tool to turn any photo into pixel arthttps://www.phototopixel.art/Hey everyone,I'm excited to share a brand new side project I just finished building: phototopixel.art. It's a simple web tool that automatically converts any photo you upload into pixel art.I've always been a fan of the aesthetic of pixel art, but manually creating it is a tedious process. After trying out some existing tools and not being fully satisfied with the results, I decided to build my own. My goal was to create a fast and easy-to-use solution that consistently produces great-looking pixel art.Behind the Scenes The core of the tool uses a combination of color quantization and pixelation algorithms. When you upload a photo, the system analyzes its color data and reduces it to a limited palette, while simultaneously creating the iconic blocky look.One of the biggest challenges was fine-tuning the balance between preserving key details and achieving a genuine pixel art feel. I experimented a lot with the algorithm to find the sweet spot, allowing users to choose different settingAug 14, 2025 4:13 AM

Ask HN: How do you ensure your family can access your digital life if you die?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44888799I've been thinking about this lately. Most of us have dozens of online accounts, digital assets, and important documents scattered across various services. If something happens to me, my family would have no idea how to access my banking and investment accounts, important documents (wills, insurance, etc.).I know password managers exist, but they don't solve the "what accounts do I even have?" problem, and most families don't know how to use them. And I don't want to share access to my accounts right now, only after I am no longer alive.What's your approach? Do you have a system in place, or is this something you've been meaning to figure out but haven't gotten around to?I'm particularly interested in solutions that work for non-technical family members who might be dealing with grief and stress.Aug 13, 2025 2:19 PM

Show HN: Generative Graphics LLM Benchmarkhttps://www.ggbench.com/I’ve been obsessed with code-driven graphics since my first ellipse() in Processing. There’s something magical about watching a few lines of code bloom into motion—clean, crisp, and totally reproducible. With GGBench, I’m turning that obsession into a public benchmark for AI-generated graphics.GGBench is a benchmarking platform to compare graphics produced by AI—especially code that renders visuals (still and animated). You vote on side-by-side outputs, and we rank models with an ELO system (the same concept chess uses). It’s simple, transparent, and designed to push the whole field forward.Why this benchmark needs to exist Most LLMs are fantastic at writing code, but they’re basically flying blind: they can’t actually see what they produce. They output p5.js or Three.js scripts and call it a day. Whether that code renders beautifully—or at all—has been tricky to evaluate at scale.Meanwhile, video diffusion models chew through compute to produce every pixel of every frame.

What's the solution for a smart person with poor executive function?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44819691My life is always on the verge of falling apart. I don't seem to make progress in life. I don't seem to be able to learn from experience or change the things that have held me back in life. I have trouble meeting and forming connections with people. I have trouble with maintaining relationships. Fortunately my parents care for me. Out of the blue my sister estranged herself and her family from me some 3 years ago and despite trying I have not been able mend the rift or even understand its cause. I think she thinks I am a screwed up person. I don't get in trouble and don't intentionally harm people. I live in my head and I am an introverted person. I live independently and I have my own house I inherited from my grand parents. I recently lost my job and have been underemployed and misapplied in the labor market since I graduated college 2009.
