Show HN: Infinate –O(k)constant-time spatial attention for unlimited LLM contexthttps://github.com/ch1pu/infinateI built infinate, an open-source (Apache 2.0) attention mechanism that places tokens in a 3D semantic space and limits attention to ~50 nearest neighbors via exponential decay + hard cutoff. This gives true O(k) constant complexity: latency ~7–14 ms and memory fixed (1.50 MB in production) even at 10M+ tokens on CPU.Latest update (Jan 20, 2026): Milestone 1.11 – Strafe Jumping Navigation. As a longtime Quake player, I applied real game physics exploits (7/9 validated) — bunny hop, circle jump, warp lanes, momentum accumulation, LOD hopping, etc. — to make semantic traversal ultra-fast, like speedrunning in 3D space.Benchmarks (all CPU, Qdrant vector store): - In-memory mode: - CodeQA (100K): 3.57 ms vs MIT RLM 15,000 ms → 4,198× faster - OOLONG (500K): 4.06 ms vs 35,000 ms → 8,628× faster - BrowseComp+ (10M): 7.18 ms vs 120,000 ms → 16,722× faster - Average speedup: 10,317× vs MIT Recursive Language Models (arXiv:2512.24601) - Production (Docker/Qdrant): Average 533× faster - Memory: C

Study links Europa's quiet seafloor to hidden potential for lifehttps://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Study_links_Europas_quiet_seafloor_to_hidden_potential_for_life_999.htmlLos Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 21, 2026 The giant planet Jupiter has nearly 100 known moons, but none has captured scientific attention quite like Europa, which likely hides a global salty ocean beneath an icy crust that may contain twice as much water as all of Earth's oceans combined. A new modeling study led by Washington University in collaboration with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) suggests that, despite this ocean,

A new international study co-led by Aix-Marseille University and Southwest Research Institute finds that this stark contrast in water content was imprinted at birth as the moons formed a

But this picture clashes with everyday experience, where objects appear in definite locations and configurations, never in superpositions. To account for this, standard quantum the

These clouds contain water, just like Earth's, but are much denser on the gas giant--so thick that no spacecraft has been able to measure exactly what lies beneath. But a new study led by University of Chicago and Jet Propulsion Lab scientists has given us a deeper look at the planet by creating the most complete model to date of Jupi
