Earth observation operators push to deliver satellite images within minuteshttps://spacenews.com/earth-observation-operators-push-to-deliver-satellite-images-within-minutes/Vantor employees were gathered for a sales kickoff in January, when an executive announced that a WorldView Legion satellite passing overhead would snap a photo of the California venue. Later, a buzzer sounded to alert the audience that the 30-centimeter-resolution image was available on the Vantor Hub portal. It had been 13 minutes.

Show HN: SimFic – A multi-agent narrative simulation for interactive fictionhttps://simfic.netHello HN,I'd like to share a hobby project I'm working on called SimFic: a multi-agent interactive fiction simulation engine. Many of you like to read. But have you wanted to do more than just follow through someone's story? What if you could step into their shoes, and play it out yourself in a simulated environment?The problem: simply prompting an AI chatbot (e.g. ChatGPT) directly with a world/story-building prompt and expecting a rich, non-linear output is fundamentally flawed; in the real world, information asymmetry, Theory of Mind, non-determinism, etc. affect how people think and act. Asking a single LLM like ChatGPT to mentally simulate these constraints is flawed because of Transformer attention, as it is omniscient by technical design. Furthermore, LLMs are heavily tuned to be helpful and finish things early. If you've tried writing a book with an LLM, you know that the result is laughably short and shallow. If we use an LLM as-is, every action will succeed, every path will bMar 27, 2026 3:07 PM

Apollo Cosplay on a 21st-Century Clock - Why Artemis Keeps Slipping Toward 2029 - Part 3https://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Apollo_Cosplay_on_a_21st_Century_Clock_Why_Artemis_Keeps_Slipping_Toward_2029_Part_3_999.htmlLos Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 09, 2026 NASA's latest reboot of the Artemis Moon program comes with familiar language: 'back to basics,' 'muscle memory,' 'step-by-step,' and an explicit nod to the Mercury-Gemini-Apollo playbook. The agency wants to fly more often, change hardware less, and build up capability incrementally, just like the 1960s. The problem is that Artemis is trying to cosplay Apollo in a world with very different politics, partners and rivals - and the gaps are showing.Mar 9, 2026 5:07 AM

Show HN: Moongate – Ultima Online server emulator in .NET 10 with Lua scriptinghttps://github.com/moongate-community/moongatev2I've been building a modern Ultima Online server emulator from scratch. It's not feature-complete (no combat, no skills yet), but the foundation is solid and I wanted to share it early.What it does today: - Full packet layer for the classic UO client (login, movement, items, mobiles) - Lua scripting for item behaviors (double-click a potion, open a door — all defined in Lua, no C# recompile) - Spatial world partitioned into sectors with delta sync (only sends packets for new sectors when crossing boundaries) - Snapshot-based persistence with MessagePack - Source generators for automatic DI wiring, packet handler registration, and Lua module exposure - NativeAOT support — the server compiles to a single native binary - Embedded HTTP admin API + React management UI - Auto-generated doors from map statics (same algorithm as ModernUO/RunUO)Tech stack: .NET 10, NativeAOT, NLua, MessagePack, DryIoc, KestrelWhat's missing: Combat, skills, weather integration, NPC AI.

Show HN: PulseTech.news – an automated, privacy-first tech aggregatorhttps://pulsetech.news/I built PulseTech.news because I was tired of "heavy" tech news sites. I wanted a lightning-fast, zero-bloat aggregator that I could check in 30 seconds to get the global pulse.Technical Highlights:* Performance: Built on a lean PHP/MySQL stack for sub-100ms page loads. No heavy frameworks, just vanilla performance. * Automation: A headless background scraper (bin/scrape.php) runs on an hourly cron cycle to digest, categorize, and deduplicate headlines from the world’s top tech sources. * Privacy-First: Implemented Google Consent Mode v2 and PII-free click tracking to be fully GDPR/CCPA compliant without compromising analytics. Semantic Web: Every listing is backed by dynamic JSON-LD ItemList schemas, making the site highly discoverable by search engines. * I’ve spent the last few days fine-tuning the automated categorization engine to ensure that "AI" news stays in AI, "Cybersecurity" stays in security, etc., based on a weighted keyword detection system.I'd love to hear your feedback Mar 5, 2026 12:11 PM

Launch HN: OctaPulse (YC W26) – Robotics and computer vision for fish farminghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47220320Hi HN! My name is Rohan and, together with Paul, I’m the co-founder of OctaPulse (https://www.tryoctapulse.com/). We’re building a robotics layer for seafood production, starting with automated fish inspection. We are currently deployed at our first production site with the largest trout producer in North America.You might be wondering how the heck we got into this with no background in aquaculture or the ocean industry. We are both from coastal communities. I am from Goa, India and Paul is from Malta and Puerto Rico. Seafood is deeply tied to both our cultures and communities. We saw firsthand the damage being done to our oceans and how wild fish stocks are being fished to near extinction. We also learned that fish is the main protein source for almost 55% of the world's population. Despite it not being huge consumption in America it is massive globally. And then we found out that America imports 90% of its seafood. What? That felt absurd. That was the initial motivation for starting Mar 2, 2026 4:39 PM

And this project is based here(https://github.com/ufo5260987423/scheme-langserver).I built it because I was tired of Scheme/Lisp's raggy development environment, especially of the lack of IDE-like highly customized programing experience. Though DrRacket and many REPL-based counterparts have don't much, following general cases aren't reach same-level as in other modern languages: (let* ([ready-for-reference 1] [call-reference (+ ready-for-)])) Apparently, the `ready-for-` behind `call-reference` should trigger an auto-complete option, in which has a candidate `ready-for-reference`. Besides, I also know both of them have the type of number, and their available scope is limited by `let*`'s outer brackets.

I built this to fix the problems we all deal with daily: hallucination, drift, uncontrollable behavior, black-box reasoning, unstructured knowledge, and chaotic world/agent generation.The Pain We Can’t Keep IgnoringCurrent LLMs/agents are token predictors, not intelligences. They suffer from:• Hallucination: No grounded structure → guesses instead of knowing.• Persona drift: Personality is prompt-hacked, not structural.• Uncontrollable behavior: Sampling, not deterministic structure.• Black-box reasoning: No traceable reasoning path.• Knowledge soup: Embeddings/vectors, no formal structure.• Fragile world models: Prediction, not interpretable structure.• Random generation: No consistent causal/world rules.We’ve patched these with RAG, fine-tuning, prompts, RLHF — but they’re band-aids on a foundational flaw: AI lacks structure.How WLM Solves ItWLM is a 7-layer Feb 17, 2026 10:01 AM
