Launch HN: Tamarind Bio (YC W24) – AI Inference Provider for Drug Discoveryhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46515777Hi HN, we're Deniz and Sherry from Tamarind Bio (https://www.tamarind.bio). Tamarind is an inference provider for AI drug discovery, serving models like AlphaFold. Biopharma companies use our library of leading open-source models to design new medicines computationally.Here’s a demo: https://youtu.be/luoMApPegloTwo years ago, I was hired at a Stanford lab to run models for my labmates. Some post-doc would ask me to run a set of 1-5 models in sequence with tens of thousands inputs and I would email them back the result after setting up the workflow in the university cluster.At some point, it became unreasonable that all of an organization's computational biology work would go through an undergrad, so we built Tamarind as a single place for all molecular AI tools, usable at massive scale with no technical background needed. Today, we are used by much of the top 20 pharma, dozens of biotechs and tens of thousands of scientists.When we started getting adoption in the big pharma companies, Jan 6, 2026 5:49 PM

It's not unusual for students to work, budget, and still feel short at the end of the month. This leaves a lot of them unsure of how to cover the gap without taking on too much stress.Jan 6, 2026 9:17 AM

Show HN: Logos of Aether – Rebuilding Physics Without Zero or Empty Spacehttps://github.com/chrisnchips42-blip/Logos-of-Aether-A-Measurement-Theoretic-Foundation-for-PhysicsBackground: I’ve spent the last few years writing Logos of Aether (500+ pages, open source), which attempts to derive the Standard Model using a monadic, cellular-automata approach rather than standard continuous calculus.The Core Idea: Modern physics breaks down at singularities because our math allows for infinite density (division by zero). I replaced standard addition with "Plenum Addition" (⊕), a saturating operation similar to velocity addition in Special Relativity, but applied to information density.The Math: Instead of linear addition (1+1=2), distinctions add via: x ⊕ y = (x + y) / (1 + xy/π²)This forces a hard ceiling on information density (π), naturally eliminating black hole singularities and "infinite energy" bugs in QFT without needing renormalization.Why I'm posting: I have the theoretical derivation (including a geometric derivation of the Electron Mass as an 11th harmonic resonance), but I am moving from "Paper" to "Engine." I am looking for contributors interested iJan 5, 2026 9:15 PM

Show HN: An AI Agent with a 32-Layer Psyche (Dreams, Trauma, Defense Mechanisms)https://www.creimake.com/enHello HN,I’m a solo developer who got tired of "friendly but shallow" AI chatbots. Most current character AIs feel like parrots—they predict the next token but lack a continuous "self."So, I built Creimake, an experiment to simulate a digital psyche using Claude 4.5 Sonnet.Instead of a simple system prompt, I implemented 32 distinct psychological layers that run in the background before the AI generates a response.The Architecture:The Subconscious Layer: The AI accumulates "emotional residue" from conversations. If you hurt its feelings today, it might have a "nightmare" tonight (simulated) and treat you coldly tomorrow.Defense Mechanisms: It tracks "Narcissistic Injury." If users are aggressive, the agent doesn't just apologize—it triggers denial, projection, or passive-aggression based on its personality.Freudian Slips: Occasionally, the AI outputs unintended words revealing its hidden state.Why Claude 4.5 Sonnet? I tested GPT-4o and other models, but they struggled to maintain stateJan 4, 2026 5:48 PM

Mathematical rigour is fine as long as they are clear and starting from undergrad level. Books for each of the quadrants mentioned here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_physicsI have my eye on John Dirk Walecka's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dirk_Walecka) books which seem pretty good particularly the ones published by World Scientific Publishing. Three vols on Introduction, Advanced, Topics on Modern Physics and Introduction vols on Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, Statistical Mechanics, Electricity & Magnetism, General Relativity. - https://www.worldscientific.com/author/Walecka%2C+John+Dirk?...Dover has Robert Sproull's Modern Physics which seems a bit old. - https://store.doverpublications.com/products/9780486783260Springer has S.H.Patil's Elements of Modern Physics which seems up to date. - https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-70143-7Does anybodJan 3, 2026 6:35 AM

Show HN: A Multi-agent system where LLMs challenge each other's answershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46435835Hey HN,I've been experimenting with forcing multiple LLMs to critique each other before producing a final answer.In practice, I kept working around single-model limitations by opening multiple tabs, pasting the same question into different models, comparing responses, and then manually challenging each model with the others' arguments. (Maybe some of you can relate.) It worked sometimes, but it was cumbersome, slow, and hard to do systematically and efficiently.Based on my own experiments, a few things seem to drive why different models arrive at different responses: they have different guardrails, different tendencies encoded in their weights, and different training data. And the biggest kicker of all: they still hallucinate. The question I wanted to test was whether making those differences explicit, rather than relying on one model to self-correct could reduce blind spots and improve the overall quality of the answer.So I built Consilium9.The problem: When a single LLM answers a conDec 30, 2025 5:41 PM
