New island of inversion found in proton neutron symmetric molybdenum nucleihttps://www.spacedaily.com/reports/New_island_of_inversion_found_in_proton_neutron_symmetric_molybdenum_nuclei_999.htmlTokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 09, 2025 For decades, nuclear physicists have known that so called islands of inversion mark regions of the nuclear chart where standard shell structure breaks down and magic numbers vanish in favor of strongly deformed shapes. In earlier work these islands were identified mainly in neutron rich isotopes such as beryllium 12 with N = 8, magnesium 32 with N = 20, and chromium 64 with N = 40, all distant fDec 9, 2025 4:08 AM

The expansion rate of the universe, known as the Hubble constant, describes how quickly galaxies recede as a function of distance, wiDec 9, 2025 4:08 AM

Launch HN: Nia (YC S25) – Give better context to coding agentshttps://www.trynia.ai/Hi HN, I am Arlan and I am building Nia (https://trynia.ai), a context layer for AI coding agents. Nia lets tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and other MCP clients index and query real codebases and documentation so they stop hallucinating against outdated or wrong sources, with applications beyond coding agents to any AI system that requires grounded context across domains.Coding agents are only as good as the context you give them. General models are trained on public code and documentation that is often old, and they usually have no idea what is inside your actual repo, internal wiki, or the exact version of a third party SDK you use. The result is very familiar: you paste URLs and code snippets into the prompt, the agent confidently uses an outdated API or the wrong framework version, and you spend more time verifying and correcting it than if you had written the code yourself. Once models are good enough at generating code, feeding them precise, up-to-date context becomes the bottleDec 8, 2025 5:10 PM

With Detty December still loading, Tidy December is revvinghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46194032For want of a better expression, let’s call it Tidy December. While the term sounds strange, consider it a counterforce to the Detty December you know. If theirs glamorises indiscretions, ours should extol discretion. Society gleefully indulges in Detty as a cultural fest, thereby missing out on what packs a more enduring value and heightens the euphoria around Yuletide.Over this weekend, there were iterations of Tidy December from Lagos to Abuja, Gboko to Kaduna. Just as Detty December draws Nigerians in the diaspora home, guests from all over the world trooped to the country for these spiritual encounters. Lives were transformed through salvation with attendant miracles, signs and wonders!This piece will try not to be biased towards any, even though the Detty explosion has been defined as letting loose and indulging in fun and revelry without any care in the world.

Show HN: Python Package for fine-tuning LLMs without writing codehttps://github.com/shrut2702/upasakUpasak v0.1.1 - pre-release (UI based LLM - Fine-tuning)Lore behind this project: i just had learned about llm and how to develop from ground up. and as anybody who is eager to try it hands on, i wanted to fine-tune an llm for a specific purpose. but it is not computationally feasible to train a model on large dataset to have a correct response without gpu.however, i just wanted to stop coding different logic for each step in fine-tuning pipeline (data schema handling, sanitization, tokenization and for training experimentation adjust hyperparameters) and focus on quick experimentations. and thats the reason i built upasak package to fine-tune llm over ui, since this idea was also feasible in terms of implementation.To summarize: you can fine-tune llm over ui, select the model, select or upload the dataset, sanitize your data, use lora for parameter efficient fine-tuning, adjust hyperparameters, monitor training, save model and push it hugging face hub if you want to make if publicly aDec 8, 2025 3:15 PM

Show HN: Outfit Swap Studio – AI clothes changer for your own photoshttps://outfitswapstudio.com/Hi HN, I built a small web app and would love your feedback.Outfit Swap Studio is an AI “clothes changer” for your existing photos. You upload a portrait/half-body picture of yourself, pick a style preset, and it swaps only the outfit while keeping your face, body and background.Link: https://outfitswapstudio.com/I built it for people who need lots of decent portraits from a single photo shoot: solo founders, creators/coaches, and professionals who want multiple LinkedIn/about-page photos with different vibes (casual, business, streetwear, etc.).Compared to generic image generators, this tries to be more "portrait-first": no face change, no random background, and no prompt writing – just click the style and generate.I’m especially interested in feedback on: - Does the positioning make sense? - Is the landing page clear about what it does / doesn’t do? - Any obvious UX or abuse issues I’m missing?Thanks for taking a look!Dec 8, 2025 2:34 PM

Show HN: Why I built (yet another) AI writing app for macOShttps://textwisely.ai/As a non-native English speaker who sends lots of Slack messages, Emails, and Jira tickets every day, I often found myself switching between apps and copy-pasting the same prompts/replies to and from ChatGPT again and again just to improve my writing and fix mistakes.I wasn’t happy with the repetition and context switching, especially the lag it caused when I needed to reply to a message quickly. But the apps on the market that could help either didn’t have the functionality I wanted (offline/programmable actions/contexts/shortcuts) or were too expensive ( Grammarly). So, I decided to create TextWisely to boost my writing speed, reduce context switching, and improve quality with programmable text actions: → Grammar corrections → Email replies → Structured writing → Tone changes → Translations ...and moreIt's a native macOS desktop/status bar app – shortcut-heavy for power users, but also click-friendly for those just starting out.I have a large backlog of improvements, ideas, and new fDec 7, 2025 5:08 PM
