Nighttime Imaging Grows Landsat’s Science Valuehttps://science.nasa.gov/missions/landsat/nighttime-imaging-grows-landsats-science-value/By Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center For more than 50 years, Landsat has imaged Earth’s land and near-shore surfaces as the satellites descend in midmorning orbit, when daily sunlight is optimal. That’s just what they’ve always done. Currently, Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 circle the globe while also making better use of their ascending paths, […]

Show HN: I read Replika's privacy policy and then built a competitorhttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/friend-ai-private-chat/id6761649790I'm genuinely surprised at what people are willing to share with AI companions. Read Replika's privacy policy. Then Character.AI's. These apps store your most personal conversations on their servers, linked to your email address. A breach or subpoena and your identity is attached to everything you ever told your "AI friend." Eek.The only thing I think actually solves this is local inference. I remember browing r/LocalLLaMA and years ago and thinking this is the future. Local models are finally good enough. I was playing with the bonsai 8B 1-bit quant model a few weeks back and I think we're almost there. I built friendAI to see if there's market demand for local inference. Everything runs on your phone.What's actually on-device:- Bonsai-8B (1-bit quantized Qwen3-8B, ~1.3GB) via MLX for speed - Gemma 4 E2B (~4.5GB, GGUF) via llama.cpp for vision - A unified client that routes between themA few things I'm reasonably proud of solving in about a week:- Turns out the hardest part was actual

Show HN: I built a toy that plays grandma's stories when my daughter hugs ithttps://www.storyfriend.co.uk/This was a project I built for my daughter's first birthday present.For context, I'm a surgical resident in the UK by background and am currently taking a year out of training to study a masters in computer science. My daughter just turned one. There are two things she really loves: the first is particular soft toy that she just can't live without, and the other is a good story book.Her grandparents live hours away and I didn't want her to forget what they sound like between visits. I wanted her to hear them whenever she missed them.My parents brought my brother and I up with incredible stories and books from all sorts of cultures, many of the stories being passed down from their parents before them. I didn't want my daughter to miss out on that.Finally, I was sick of missing storytime with her when I had to leave for night shifts. I wanted her to hear my voice before she slept every night.For all these reasons, I decided to build Storyfriend. It's her favourite soft toy with a custom

Show HN: BigBlueBam, MIT-licensed Work OS where agents are first-class coworkershttps://github.com/eoffermann/BigBlueBamHi HN, Eddie here. My project BigBlueBam is a self-hosted, MIT-licensed Work OS with a unified backend with native MCP, "AI as Users" rather than bolted-on chat widgets. The deploy script will stand up the full stack (local Docker container or push it to Railway) in about the time it takes to make coffee.What's live in the build: * Bam (project management/Kanban) * Banter (chat with LiveKit voice/video) * Beacon (knowledge base with a graph view) * Brief (collaborative docs) * Board (infinite canvas whiteboard) * Bolt (workflow automation) * Bearing (goals and OKRs) * Bond (CRM) * Blast (email campaigns) * Bench (analytics and dashboards) * Book (scheduling) * Blank (forms) * Bill (invoicing) * HelpdeskThe architectural bet I cared about most: MCP is the execution substrate for the whole suite, not a "feature". 340 MCP tools (and counting) registered across the apps. Agents and Bolt automations call those tools through the same registry, same auth, same data, and the MCP tools replicat

Show HN: Reinhardt – Django-style Rust framework; WASM+SSR from one DSLhttps://github.com/kent8192/reinhardt-webReinhardt is a Rust web framework where one component DSL compiles to both WASM (client) and server-rendered HTML — a single file describes both sides of a page, with no separate frontend codebase, no JS build toolchain, and no duplicated types across the client/server boundary.It also bundles what Django/DRF users expect: an ORM with auto-generated migrations from #[model] macros, DI, auth, admin, REST, background tasks, and i18n. Feature flags let you pull in just what you need (minimal / standard / full), or import individual crates directly.I built it after moving from Django/DRF to Rust and repeatedly re-assembling the same Axum + ORM + migrations + auth stack for every project.Quickstart: https://reinhardt-web.dev/quickstart/v0.1.0-rc.18 release: Crates.io (published as reinhardt-web; the shorter name was taken): https://crates.io/crates/reinhardt-webBSD 3-Clause.

Show HN: Agensi – Curated marketplace for AI agent skills (SKILL.md)https://www.agensi.ioHi HN. I'm Samuel, founder of Agensi (agensi.io). I'm a non-technical founder in the Netherlands. Built the platform mostly with Claude Code and Lovable over the last few months.What it is: a curated marketplace for SKILL.md skills. SKILL.md is the folder-plus-instructions format Anthropic shipped for teaching AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and others) new capabilities. Creators publish skills, users install them into their agent. Every listing goes through an automated security scan before going live.Two things I've tried to do that felt missing from the ecosystem:1. Curation with security. Running someone else's code on your machine without review is a real risk, especially given the ToxicSkills and ClawHavoc research that came out earlier this year (36% of sampled skills had prompt injection vectors). Every skill on Agensi runs through an automated scan checking permission boundaries, outbound network requests, dependency red flags, and common malware

Show HN: Weekly Log, Old-school journaling social mediahttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47843663Weekly Log is a minimalistic social media website designed for you to do journaling and creative writing.A lot of modern social media apps are set up in a way that addicts and detriments the users, meanwhile profiting off of their data. I really wanted to make a site that doesn't operate in that way.Some of its distinctions: - You can create one post per week. This encourages care and consideration. - Nobody knows who you follow or what posts you react to, besides you and the other user. These stats are personal, so people view your logs free of outside influence. - Posts are rich text-only, no images or videos, in an effort to reduce mental clutter. - Your feed only features users you follow, to give you increased control of what you see, unless you click the "global" checkbox to see all posts.quick demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CTnORsGnL8 overview page: https://www.weekly-log.com/about/overview---I have soft-launched this website, and a handful of my friends have signed up a

Getting back into photography, ditching the phone camera in 2026?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47842292I've been looking through twenty-five-odd years of my own photos. The collection includes scanned 35mm and medium format images; digital pictures from a few Canon Powershot generations and a 20D SLR; and about five iPhones.I've noticed that the non-cell-phone pictures tended to be better, and that in general I seemed to have quite a bit more fun with photos taken with, well, "real" cameras. Probably the best ones were taken with the 20D, which for its time was a really nice camera, for which I was able to bring over some lenses from my film days.I wouldn't rule out more film photography but I think of that as a somewhat separate track. I'd like to get a digital camera that captures a bit more of what I enjoyed about film photography - that high image density, looking through a physical viewfinder, not necessarily curating images in real time... looking, shooting, and moving on.I've been following Fujifilm cameras for awhile in this market, having read about them here a few years ago.

Ask HN: Does magic link authentication use HTML canvassing?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47817835Many sites are starting to use magic link auth more often and I am wondering if its a trend to also glean more information from the account holder.I dont like this auth process because it forces me to have to use the email system to authenticate every time which adds to the amount of time it takes to log-in. With Claude.ai, the auth process at least gives you an option to use a code to sign in with after you get the email. The problem is, the email doesn't contain the code. You have to click on a link which opens a web page to gain the code and it appears at that point it wants to do an HTML canvassing operation. I feel like that is a violation of privacy to do this at the point of trying to log into a service I pay for. I'm wondering if I am off base or if anyone notices this, or finds a difference in the process. and if its happening, what can be done about it. Also I wonder what the real reason is why more and more companies are moving toward this authentication method.

Show HN: Co-op: Your 24/7 Digital Internhttps://app.subconscious.dev/AI is in a weird place right now. Technical people marvel over it while non-technical people don't really care.So we built Co-Op, an app specifically designed for non-technical people to run AI agents without needing a Mac Mini or laptop running 24/7. Your agents run throughout the day and complete real work across your most important apps, no code required.For me, this looks like a daily notification with my unread emails across Outlook, Gmail, and any other inbox, the weather, commute time, flight prices I'm monitoring, and the news. But it goes way beyond that. Our agents can build slideshows on Google Slides, track your finances, follow sports scores, summarize and write documents, manage your calendar, and a lot more. All running in the background without you having to constantly prompt.

Ask HN: Would you take your engineering team to Buenos Aires for an offsite?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47726018Hey HN,I’m doing some market research on the logistics and viability of hosting corporate tech offsites in Buenos Aires, Argentina.With the shift to remote/distributed work, annual or bi-annual company retreats have become the main way teams build rapport. We see a lot of teams going to Mexico City, Lisbon, or Costa Rica, but I'm looking closely at Buenos Aires (as I live there).Timezone: Favorable for the US (EST +1 or +2) and easier for EU overlap.Cost: Highly favorable exchange rate makes luxury/premium experiences much more affordable.Culture: World-class food, infrastructure, and a strong local tech ecosystem.However, the flight time from the US West Coast or parts of Europe is significantly longer than going to Mexico or Portugal.I’d love to hear from founders, CTOs, and engineering managers who have planned or attended company retreats:1. Has your team done an offsite in LATAM? If so, where, and how did you choose the location?2. Is flight duration the ultimate dealbreaker? Woul
