Because no samples of authentic Martian airborne dust have been returned to Earth, NASA must rely on lunar dust toxicology, Martian regolith simulants, and extensive rover/lander geochemical and mineralogical datasets to […]Jul 21, 2026 2:03 PM

Show HN: The0 – self-hosted runtime for trading bots, bring your own languagehttps://github.com/alexanderwanyoike/the0So Im a solo developer who has always had an itch for algorithmic trading. Initially I started off learning how to trade algorithmically with Yves Hilpisch book "Python for Algorithmic Trading" after reading that book I was hooked and started building algorithmic trading bots. Initially these were separate python scripts that I ran on my local machine. That was a bad idea cause local machines are not reliable and I wanted to run my bots 24/7 365. In my actual career im a software engineer with experience in building distributed systems and fault tolerant web applications.I wasn't interested in deploying my code to managed services like MetaTrader, CTrader or QuantConnect etc because I wanted to have full control over my code and the environment it runs in. I also wanted to be able to run my bots in any programming language I wanted, not just Python. Sometimes I wanted to prototype a bot in Python and then rewrite it in C++ or Rust for performance reasons.Many at this point would have sJul 20, 2026 1:49 PM

Show HN: Ratel, give agents unlimited tools and skills without context bloathttps://github.com/ratel-ai/ratelHi HN! We're Giacomo and Roberto, authors of Ratel (https://github.com/ratel-ai/ratel)We used to help SaaS companies build agents on top of their products. Whenever we wanted to expand the agents’ complexity/scope, by adding more and more tools and instructions, we always run in the same issue: context bloat, with frequent hallucinations and sky high token bills. So we started constantly engineering the agents, dynamically loading tools, splitting them into subagents, inventing our own way to support skillsAnd that's exactly when we started building Ratel: a library to let your agent keep its full catalog of tools and skills, but progressively disclosing only the few that actually matter for each turn. Now you can grow your agent's capabilities without breaking it or taking out a loan for itPeople are already using it in production, with a user cutting their token cost up to 81% in the first month without compromising the accuracyWe support both keyword and semantic retrieval, all in-pJul 16, 2026 4:11 PM

Show HN: Marigold – Get more done with your agenthttps://marigold.pageTwo things I've settled on after a lot of agent work: 1. For most outputs, reviewing a fit-for-purpose rich HTML doc beats reviewing markdown (diagrams, charts, dynamic elements). 2. Feedback works best as in-line comments on the output, rather than re-describing what your feedback applies to.Marigold wires both into one loop. Your agent drafts output as a local HTML file. The file opens in your browser with a comment layer on top. You click an element, type some feedback, and hit send. Your CLI agent gets the feedback, anchored to the elements you clicked. When it updates the file, the tab live-reloads and your comments re-anchor to the new version.The net effect: collaborating with your agent is a few clicks instead of a few paragraphs, and everyone moves faster.Setup is one command: `npm i -g marigold-draft`, then `marigold-draft agent-setup` wires up any CLI assistants are on your machine — Claude Code, Codex, opencode. Or you can find a blurb to paste into your agent on the websitJul 16, 2026 1:18 PM

Thinking: Alternate Distribution for Filmmakershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48931604This idea did not in anyway start with the intention of distribution. In my 20s there were a group of 12 of us, who shared a whatsapp group and every thursday, we had a standing appointment to decide and watch the interesting movie for the week.Over the years as life happens and folks got married, moved, priorities shifted, that ritual that almost lasted a decade fell apart.During the pandemic, given that most of us had a VR headset, we reconnected and started watching movies together - we'd setup a shared stream and would have a google chat going on the side, so that we can hear each other while the movie played.VR has been surprisingly good to recreate that theatrical atmosphere - but the worst bit is sitting in a virtual cinema as the only person. Dimming the lights out (within the virtual environment so that you don't see the empty chairs) and having a video call where we can hear each other on one of the ears, kinda felt a bit like the gang was back together.Even if it hasn't beenJul 16, 2026 8:06 AM

No frameworks, no build step, no dependencies, no tracking. A single static page served from GitHub Pages.A few bits that were fun to build: - Destructible terrain: buildings are painted to an offscreen canvas and explosions erase pixels - Ballistic physics with wind, sub-stepped so a fast banana can't tunnel through a thin building between frames. - Native share sheet (Web Share API) so you can text a friend your result with a "beat my score" challenge linkIt's hot-seat two-player (pass the phone, or share a keyboard: arrows to aim, space to throw).No original Microsoft code or assets — the code and pixel art are all my own (with some help from ClaJul 10, 2026 6:14 AM
