Quantum fuzzy spacetime may reshape gravity theoryhttps://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Quantum_fuzzy_spacetime_may_reshape_gravity_theory_999.htmlBerlin, Germany (SPX) Dec 08, 2025 A team at TU Wien has developed a new way to connect quantum theory with general relativity by quantizing the spacetime metric and analyzing how this affects the paths that particles follow under gravity. Their work focuses on geodesics, the curves that represent the shortest connection between two points in curved spacetime and that underlie most applications of Einstein's theory, such as the oDec 8, 2025 11:59 AM

LokiVector: An Embedded Document Vector DB Crash-Tested Durabilityhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46178312Hey HN/Reddit/dev community,I'm excited to open-source *LokiVector* - an embedded document database with vector search capabilities, built for modern AI applications.### What Makes It DifferentMost vector databases are either: - Cloud-only services (expensive, vendor lock-in) - Complex to deploy (require Kubernetes, lots of moving parts) - Missing durability guarantees (what happens if it crashes?)LokiVector solves this by being: - *Embeddable* - Runs in Node.js or browser, no external services - *Crash-Safe* - Validated with automated E2E crash recovery tests - *Simple* - JSON documents + vector search, no schema migrations - *Fast* - In-memory performance with disk persistence### The Durability StoryThis is what I'm most proud of. We test crash recovery across: - Documents and collections - Vector indexes (HNSW) - Partial writes and idempotencyAll validated with 7 comprehensive E2E test scenarios. You can literally kill the process mid-write and it recovers correctly.*Note:* ReplicatDec 7, 2025 1:11 AM

A 2,500-year lineage of daemon-like naming conventions, from antiquity to AIhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46169773From Greek antiquity to ChatGPT, the description of invisible processes as demonic has shown an astonishing 2,500 year continuity.Because people often insist on Maxwell's daemon being different than biblical demons, lets sumarize the qualities of a demon:They are trapped in an infinite loop or compelled to a single domain, operating with superhuman speed or ability, but without autonomy.Their operations are invisible or unpredictable (probabilistic perhaps).Humans attempt to coax them into determinism, whether through sacrificing goats / hardware or by rituals and spells / prompt chains.They tempt humans into dependency, performing tasks that make us weaker or lazier in exchange for power or convenience.The lineage seems to be consistent:Greek Antiquity Daimons were invisible intermediaries that executed tasks humans could not witness directly. Their behavior was partially predictable, partially trickster-like, partially dependent on human invocation. They performed singular roles, werDec 6, 2025 1:47 AM

Turned a simple idea with friends into an actual apphttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46160226Hey everyone! I’m a first-year university student and I just finished building an app I really needed myself. It’s in waitlist mode for now, and the App Store launch is coming next week — but you can already check it out here: getcravit.com.When I moved from my hometown to Milan, I kept having the same experience: 1. Trying to find “our pub” with a friend — our own McLarens from How I Met Your Mother. 2. With another group, trying every smash burger in the city to find the real #1. 3. With my roommate, searching for the best Sunday breakfast spot. Every time, we ended up creating random notes, spreadsheets, IG saves… nothing that made the experience fun or organized. After doing this three times in three completely different ways, I thought: why isn’t there an app for this?So… I built one. It’s called Cravit.The idea is super simple: * You create a “Cravy,” which is basically a personal food mission. * You choose your criteria (taste, vibe, price, etc.). * You add all the spots you wanDec 5, 2025 12:11 PM

The researchers argue that these prebiotic gels, attached to mineral or other surfaces, could have provided both structure and chemical environments that helped early chemistry progress toward biology.
