Seedream 5.0 Lite API Pricing Breakdownhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47146196Seedream 5.0 Lite just dropped. Seedream 5.0 Lite just dropped. If you're curious about the most cost-effective way to run this in a production workflow, I put together a quick breakdown of the features and a price comparison across a few providers.1. Seedream 5.0 Lite Key Enhancements Here is what stands out in the 5.0 Lite update: - Stronger Feature Consistency: Noticeable jump in facial consistency and detail when using multi-image references. - Detail Preservation: It maintains natural skin tones and postures much better across batch outputs. - Precise Instruction Following: Handles complex camera angles and specific brush-style effects more reliably. - Multimodal Reasoning: You can feed it rough sketches or abstract logic, and it translates them into commercial-ready designs. - Visualizing Complex Data: Great for turning raw data or knowledge sets into clean visuals for presentations. - Broad Use Cases: Fast enough for marketing/E-commerce but high-quality enough for film/game pre

Show HN: Irpapers – Visual embeddings vs. OCR trade-offs in scientific PDFshttps://github.com/weaviate/query-agent-benchmarkingHey HN, we are releasing IRPAPERS to answer a highly pragmatic question: when building a RAG pipeline over PDFs, should you OCR the text or just embed the raw page images?Processing PDFs in production usually involves stringing together brittle OCR heuristics. While recent multimodal embeddings (like ColModernVBERT or ColPali) allow you to skip OCR entirely and retrieve directly from visual layouts, we wanted to measure if the computational overhead is actually worth the utility.The short answer: Transformer-based image pipelines won't be perfect for every use-case, but they fix exactly what OCR breaks.Here is what we found benchmarking 3,230 pages of dense scientific literature:Complementary Bottlenecks: Text representations (BM25 + dense vectors) are highly efficient for exact lexical constraints (e.g., finding a specific acronym like "HyDE"). Conversely, image embeddings shine on spatial architecture diagrams and t-SNE plots where OCR serialization just turns into structural garbage

Re-framing orbital debris: from a statistical to dosage approachhttps://spacenews.com/re-framing-orbital-debris-from-a-statistical-to-dosage-approach/Humanity gains insight on how to operate in space with every satellite that we launch. True learning comes from doing; otherwise we lock into lab-born biases that come from asking the wrong questions. I think we are running into that limit with micrometeoroid and orbital debris (MMOD) collisions, and we are close to an industry-wide […] The post Re-framing orbital debris: from a statistical to dosage approach appeared first on SpaceNews.

Award-Winning NASA Camera Revolutionizes How We See the Invisiblehttps://www.nasa.gov/aeronautics/award-winning-nasa-camera-revolutionizes-how-we-see-the-invisible/Imagine trying to photograph wind. That’s similar to what NASA engineers dealt with during a recent effort to study how air moves around planes, rockets, and other kinds of aerospace vehicles. Air is invisible, but our understanding of how it flows is crucial for building better, safer aircraft. For 80 years, researchers used a technique […]

Show HN: Mindweave – AI-powered personal knowledge hub with semantic searchhttps://www.mindweave.space/Hi HN,I built Mindweave to solve a problem I kept running into — I'd save bookmarks, notes, and links across different apps, then never find them again when I actually needed them.Mindweave lets you capture notes, links, and files in one place. The interesting part is what happens after: - Semantic search — find content by meaning, not just keywords. "That article about improving deep work" finds it even if those words don't appear in the content. Powered by pgvector cosine similarity on Gemini embeddings. - AI auto-tagging — Gemini generates tags on save, so you don't have to organize anything manually. - Knowledge Q&A — ask questions about your saved content using RAG. Retrieves relevant pieces, feeds them as context to Gemini, returns a grounded answer. Stack: Next.js 15 (App Router, Server Actions), PostgreSQL 16 + pgvector, Google Gemini (text-embedding-004, 768d), Drizzle ORM, Auth.js v5, Tailwind/shadcn. Deployed on Cloud Run. A few things I found interesting while building this

ESA awards contracts for Ramses mission to Apophishttps://www.esa.int/Space_Safety/Planetary_Defence/ESA_awards_contracts_for_Ramses_mission_to_ApophisOn 10 February 2026, the European Space Agency (ESA) signed a contract with OHB Italia for the development of the Rapid Apophis Mission for Space Safety (Ramses). Launching in 2028, Ramses will rendezvous with the asteroid Apophis before its rare close encounter with Earth. The mission will provide unique insight into the physical properties and behaviour of asteroids, and strengthen international collaboration and European capabilities in planetary defence.

Show HN: Tangs.dev – Upload → Save to Drive → Share with Friendshttps://tangs.devHello!I’m the maker of Tangs, a simple way to upload a file, save it directly to your Google Drive, and share it instantly with a temporary link.I built Tangs because sharing files through Drive often feels more complicated than it should be: messy permissions, long links, and too many steps.As a developer, I often prepare documents or presentation materials on my work PC before meetings. But when I need to use those files in a conference room or on another computer, it always becomes a hassle.In a rush, I’d end up emailing attachments to myself, uploading to random shared folders, or dealing with access issues and cluttered links — all just to move a file quickly. It felt unnecessarily frustrating and restrictive, especially for something so common during day-to-day work.That pain point is what led me to build Tangs: a faster, cleaner way to get a file onto the right machine and share it instantly.With Tangs:- Upload once- Save to your own Google Drive- Share in seconds- Minimal Googl
