NASA Space Telescope Maps Magnetic Fields of ‘Lighthouse’ Pulsarhttps://science.nasa.gov/missions/ixpe/nasa-space-telescope-maps-magnetic-fields-of-lighthouse-pulsar/For the first time, scientists have used NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) to directly measure the magnetic fields of PSR J1101−6101, a pulsar located within what is often referred to as the Lighthouse Nebula. The results provide new insight into the structure of some of the most extreme objects in the cosmos, as NASA […]Jul 9, 2026 8:08 PM

Show HN: Learn to Read with SRS++https://letterspractice.com/showHNHey everyone. The short story here is that I've made an early literacy app that you are encouraged to try with your pre-literate or only-sorta-literate kids. It's intended to be minimalist, friendly, and efficient. Its preferred-usage pattern is parent-child co-use, and my hope is that it resonates values-wise with parents who are generally screen-time averse (I am such a parent).The main landing page is https://letterspractice.com. The submission link is an annotated view of a live study session, showing some of how the engine surfaces content, and how user-interactions feed back into the engine.The slightly longer story is that (like many around here) I've had a long interest in Anki and SRS generally, and been frustrated at the gap between its effectiveness (high) and its success with respect to penetration into the mainstream (low).So: many years ago I started playing with a web based framework ( https://github.com/patched-network/vue-skuilder ) for SRS based apps with a broader inJul 9, 2026 6:52 PM

Ask HN: Any good replacements for "Refined Hacker News?"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48845676Yesterday my browser updated and turned off "Refined Hacker News." It was a very minimalist plugin that made some minor UI changes to Hacker News that I miss. (It turned the upper-right username into a drop-down, and allowed in-line replies to comments.)Are there any replacements for that plugin? I tried a different plugin that has similar features (won't name), but it makes too many cosmetic changes, and, IMO, leaves Hacker News looking too ugly.Jul 9, 2026 1:40 PM

Show HN: PandaPage – host an HTML page with one curl, no signup, auto-expireshttps://pandapage.clawshop.shI wanted to put a quick HTML page online to share, a mockup or a one-off demo, without a signup, a git repo, or a build step. Existing options all wanted one of those, so I built this.One request creates a site:``` curl -X POST https://pandapage.clawshop.sh/api/deploy \ -H "content-type: application/json" \ -d '{"files":{"index.html":"hi"}}' ```You get back a URL like pandapage.clawshop.sh// and a token. The token is the only thing gating updates and deletes, so there are no accounts. You can also POST a zip instead of JSON, and binaries go as base64.Pages expire after 24h by default (configurable per deploy from 10 minutes to 7 days, and re-deploying resets the clock). Expiry is a KV key TTL, so a page starts returning 404 the moment it lapses, and an R2 lifecycle rule sweeps the underlying files a few days later. No cron job.Because it is just a JSON API with no auth handshake, coding agents can deploy to it directly. I gave Claude Code a short prompt and now "host this page" turns iJul 9, 2026 7:22 AM

Show HN: envapt, typed env config for decoupled TS codebases (Node to edge)https://github.com/materwelonDhruv/envaptHi HN. I'm Dhruv and I've been working on envapt for about a year now and I've FINALLY completed the roadmap I scope creeped and QA'd over the past few months. It reads environment config in TypeScript and returns the typed value instead of string | undefined, from whatever source you bind. It runs on Node, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare Workers, the browser, and well, anywhere.Most typed-env libraries have you declare every variable in one central schema and read the result from one object. That works well for a single application. Mostly. That didn't work for me because in a framework or a monorepo, decoupled packages each read their own config values, and sharing one config object across every package just doesn't make sense to me, plus some other nits.envapt does the opposite. You bind a source once at startup, and on Node/Deno/Bun it binds your .env files and process.env for you, with cascading profiles per environment. After that, ANY typed read in ANY file uses that source, and each valuJul 8, 2026 4:14 PM

Show HN: Cruxible – Open-source governed truth layer for AI agentshttps://github.com/cruxible-ai/cruxibleMemory as text for LLMs works well enough when the truth can be plainly stated and doesn't change, but I kept running into the same problem with LLM wikis, markdown, vector stores - I just didn't trust them, and I didn't trust my agent to properly state its evidence for a claim, its reason for changing something, or rebuild its semantic connections the same way between sessions from a text corpus. I found myself constantly asking my agents to re-verify what was already in my wikis, so what was really the point of the wiki in the first place?I built Cruxible to fix that. It's a governed state layer that human/agent teams operate and iterate on together: you model what's true for your domain in an explicit, typed ontology, and the runtime enforces how state may change. It's designed to be unobtrusive: the state compounds as the exhaust of normal agent work, not as an ontology someone has to manually comb through.Repo is here: https://github.com/cruxible-ai/cruxible- All state that can beJul 8, 2026 3:39 PM
