It strengthens some muscles, weakens others, shifts fluids within your body, and realigns your sense of balance. NASA’s Human Research Program works to understand—and sometimes even counter—those changes so astronauts can thrive on future deep space missions.

Show HN: WanVideo – Wan 2.2 AI Video Generationhttps://www.wanvideo.tvHey HN! I built WanVideo (wanvideo.tv) to make the powerful Wan 2.2 video generation model accessible to everyone.## What is Wan 2.2?Wan 2.2 is an advanced AI video generation model that uses an optimized MoE (Mixture of Experts) architecture to create professional-quality videos. Key capabilities:- *Cinema-Grade Aesthetics*: Professional lighting, smooth camera movements, and cinematic effects without any filming equipment - *Natural Motion Dynamics*: Realistic human movements, accurate physics simulation, and believable character expressions - *Multi-Modal Input*: Generate from text descriptions or animate existing images - *Lightning Fast*: 5-10 minute generation (vs hours with other models)## Why We Chose Wan 2.2After testing multiple video generation models, Wan 2.2 stood out for its balance of quality and efficiency. The MoE architecture allows it to specialize different aspects of video generation (motion, lighting, scene composition) while maintaining fast inference times.## TeAug 1, 2025 9:29 AM

Tell HN: eBay doesn't allow changing countryhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44140192On 2025-05-30, I received an email from eBay saying "Peter, are you still using your account?"I got a security code by email, and successfully spoke to a nice man from Florida on the phone.I noticed that my address has changed, because my parents sold their house in France and moved to New Zealand. So I updated my address as well.On 2025-05-31, I received another email from suspension@ebay.com saying "MC092 FPA NOTICE: eBay Registration Suspension - User Agreement - Abusing eBay - peterburk"The first thing I did when I turned 18 years old was to open accounts on eBay and PayPal using my old iBook G3 (before even going downstairs to open birthday presents).And now all my 88 positive reviews are for nought, because eBay blocked me.If anybody reads this, please let me know an email address in eBay so I can contact a real human to verify that my account is real.This is not AI, this is not a drill, this is the real world and life is just a little complicated.May 30, 2025 9:49 PM

Launch HN: Azalea Robotics (YC S24) – Baggage-handling robots for airportshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42390761Hey HN! We’re David and John B, cofounders of Azalea Robotics (https://www.azalearobotics.com). We build robots to handle passenger baggage in airports.

We love these efforts (David used to work on one at Google X with Everyday Robots), but we also see a lot of utility in the current wave of robotics planning and perception tech that can enable new use cases today.Airlines in the US compete primarily on efficiency and customer loyalty, and baggage handling hits both (John B. has firDec 11, 2024 6:07 PM
