Galileo R&D tests new uplink antennahttps://www.esa.int/Applications/Satellite_navigation/Galileo_R_D_tests_new_uplink_antennaGalileo relies on ground-based uplink stations (ULS) to maintain accurate positioning for users worldwide. These stations transmit essential data to the satellites, including the information required to compute the satellites' orbits and clock corrections. Traditionally, such messages are sent using dish antennas. However, a new type of ground uplink antenna – a phased array antenna – was recently tested at the European Space Agency’s (ESA) site in Redu, Belgium. Developed under ESA's Horizon 2020 programme for R&D, which aims to keep Galileo up to date with the latest innovations, this innovative antenna could benefit Galileo operations.Sep 25, 2025 9:52 AM

Ask HN: Is it likely AI training models could start training on personal files?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45370640I've been sorting through my content on Google recently. Backing up and moving off of Gmail and Google Drive was relatively simple, but Google Photos is a bit more daunting. The Google Takeout process has delivered me almost 500 2GB zip folders, with scrambled metadata in supplemental data files, which is going to take a while to sort through. It's my own fault for sticking with one platform for so long, and I got hooked during the "unlimited storage" days of early Google Pixel phones.The reason I've begun downloading and removing stored files is because I'm (maybe justifiably or not) concerned about the prospect of my personal photos being used to train AI models. The chance that some diffusion model might end up recreating a heavily biased image of my wife, family, friends, or myself, or referencing any of my files or documents and what that all may be used for (commercially or otherwise) concerns me.Google is the only place I've ever put my personal photos. I've never bothered with Sep 25, 2025 8:48 AM

Launch HN: Flywheel (YC S25) – Waymo for Excavatorshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45362914Hey HN, We're Jash and Mahimana, cofounders of Flywheel AI (https://useflywheel.ai). We’re building a remote teleop and autonomous stack for excavators.Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCNmNm3lQGk.Interfacing with existing excavators for enabling remote teleop (or autonomy) is hard. Unlike cars which use drive-by-wire technology, most of the millions of excavators are fully hydraulic machines. The joysticks are connected to a pilot hydraulic circuit, which proportionally moves the cylinders in the main hydraulic circuit which ultimately moves the excavator joints. This means excavators mostly do not have an electronic component to control the joints. We solve this by mechanically actuating the joysticks and pedals inside the excavators.We do this with retrofits which work on any excavator model/make, enabling us to augment existing machines. By enabling remote teleoperation, we are able to increase site safety, productivity and also cost efficiency.Teleoperation by the oSep 24, 2025 4:48 PM
