Show HN: StarRupture Calculator – A Simple Production Planner for StarRupturehttps://starrupturecalculator.com/Hi HN, I made StarRupture Calculator, a free web tool for the game StarRupture.StarRupture is a sci-fi survival and factory-building game. As the factory grows, it becomes hard to calculate production chains, building counts, and power usage. I built this tool to make planning easier.With StarRupture Calculator, you can: • Calculate production chains and required buildings • See visual production flows • Compare different recipes • Check power consumption • Save and export your plansAll data comes directly from the game files, so the numbers are accurate. The tool runs fully in the browser, is free, and has no ads. This is a fan-made, non-official project.Website: https://starrupturecalculator.com/Feedback is welcome. Thanks!

Indian rocket hits snag during launchhttps://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Indian_rocket_hits_snag_during_launch_999.htmlNew Delhi (AFP) Jan 12, 2026 An Indian rocket hit a snag during its launch Monday, forcing a deviation in flight path as it carried an Earth observation satellite and commercial payloads, the country's space agency said. The PSLV-C62, a four-stage launch vehicle, "encountered an anomaly" towards the end of the third stage, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) posted on X, without saying exactly what went wrong.

Tell HN: Intel could blow up the Console Wars if it had the gutshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46607497Intel has spent the last decade chasing moonshots: AI accelerators, Optane, RealSense, Thunderbolt branding. All while slowly bleeding out cultural relevance. Meanwhile, gamers, devs and power users are quietly revolting against walled gardens and bloated software. Windows is being shoehorned into an "agentic OS," consoles are doubling down on subscription models, and users are mourning the loss of simplicity and control.When was the last time you were unpleasantly surprised by a big, required update when you try to play a game?Intel has a once-in-a-decade chance to blow the doors off the console wars and make Linux mainstream. But it requires something Intel hasn't shown in years: restraint and aggression.Here's the play:1. Build the box: Take Panther Lake. Stick it in a boring little box that fits under the TV. No RGB. No gimmicks. Just raw performance in a console-size form factor.2. Ship SteamOS: Boot it straight into Big Picture mode. No custom UI. No Intel launcher. No "ecosystem

A pink aesthetic wallpaper hub for makers/creators, with built-in AI edit toolshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46599320This might be a bit of an unconventional Show HN, but I think many of us here (myself included) are tired of generic default wallpapers or overly busy designs. We stare at our screens for so long, and a visual environment that feels calm or joyful can have a real impact on focus and mood.So, I built Pink Canvas (https://pinkcanvas.net).The core is simple: a curated library of pink-themed wallpapers. But I wanted to make it genuinely useful, particularly for the tinkerers and creators among us:Precise Curation: Walls are well-tagged (Kawaii, Floral, Minimalist, Fantasy, etc.) and by resolution (Mobile, Desktop, 4K). It saves the time of sifting through Pinterest or Unsplash for that specific look for a specific device.Built-in Maker Tools: Here's the key feature and why I'm posting it here. I integrated AI Generate and AI Edit tools directly into the site. You can take any wallpaper and, using natural language, ask it to "add a small cat in the corner" or "make it cyberpunk" to create a

Show HN: Touch grass – I built social media that wants you to close ithttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46587757I wanted old school social media back. Actual connections with friends. Not pity likes and performances and highlight reels.All my friends have stopped posting. Everyone's a lurker now. I'm a lurker. The only time I see what anyone's doing is when it's a humblebrag. I have no idea what's actually going on in my friends' lives besides the ones I see every week or so.So I built touch grass. You post once a week: 3 easy questions, max 3 photos. Sunday 6pm mountain time (yeah its my time zone) everyone's posts unlock at the same time. You catch up on what your people have been doing, then close the app. No likes, no comments, no algorithm, no advertisers, no bullshit, besides that one friend maybe.It's not about content. It's about keeping the connection warm. I see my friend went to the Cowboys game (Texans represent), I text him and ask how it was. That's it. That's the whole point. A reason to actually reach out.I've weirdly learned more about my parents in the last 5 weeks than the las

Show HN: Karmic Tail Calculator – A Destiny Matrix Patternshttps://karmictail.netProject Name Karmic Tail CalculatorProject Link https://karmictail.net/One-sentence description A specialized Next.js-based tool for decoding the "Karmic Tail" within the Destiny Matrix system, focusing on past-life patterns through 22 Arcana algorithmic logic.Detailed Description Karmic Tail Calculator is an attempt to bridge the gap between esoteric numerology and modern web interaction. While the "Destiny Matrix" system is currently trending on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, most existing tools are either riddled with ads or lack technical depth. This project returns to the algorithmic roots of the system, focusing specifically on the most influential "Karmic Tail" section. We’ve stripped away the "woo-woo" clutter in favor of a high-precision Arcana reduction logic and a "Sacred Geometry" visual experience, providing users with a private, frictionless space to explore subconscious behavioral patterns.Core FeaturesPrecision Algorithmic Logic: Implements the strict 22 Major Arc

Show HN: Atrion – Deterministic traffic orchestration using physics (Node.js)https://github.com/laphilosophia/atrionHello HN,I've been working on a new approach to traffic management that moves away from traditional circuit breakers (which are often reactive and binary) towards a deterministic physics model.Atrion treats request flow like fluid dynamics. Instead of static thresholds, it uses:- Physics-based pressure management: Calculates system stress in real-time. - Z-Score Auto-tuning: Adapts thresholds dynamically based on standard deviation of latency/error rates. - Revenue-aware shedding: Prioritizes high-value traffic during spikes rather than random drops.We just released v2 which introduces: AutoTuner Physics Integration and Adaptive Thresholds (Neuroplasticity)The core is open source. I'm looking for feedback on the mathematical approach to load shedding.Thanks.

Show HN: Authentic AI CV optimizer – real keywords only, 90%+ ATS scoreshttps://www.cvora.net/Hey HN,After applying to 300+ jobs over the last year and getting ghosted by ATS bots despite having solid experience (and seeing friends waste hours keyword-stuffing or using shady white-text prompts that recruiters now auto-reject), I got fed up.So I built Cvora (https://www.cvora.net): an AI that takes your existing CV + a job description and: -Extracts only real keywords from the posting (zero hallucinations or invented skills) -Rewrites your bullets naturally and professionally to highlight what you've actually done -Generates a clean, ATS-proof PDF in seconds (tested against major systems like Greenhouse, Lever, Workday consistently 90-98% match) -Includes a simple dashboard to track all your applications (no more spreadsheet hell)No fabricating experience. No prompt injection tricks. Just making your real background match the job better and faster. It's free to try with the first few generations, no card needed. Would love brutal feedback – does this solve a real pain? What suck

Show HN: Transform any photo into paper animations in secondshttps://paper-animator.net/Paper Animator: turn any photo into a paper cut-out animation in seconds## What Paper Animator isPaper Animator is a browser-based tool that transforms any image or text into animated paper cut-outs, folds, tears, and “ransom note” style graphics, with no install or plugins required. It targets short-form video creators, marketers, and designers who want a distinctive paper/stop-motion look without learning motion graphics software.[1]## Why build this- Most “paper” or stop-motion looks today require After Effects, templates, or manual masking, which is overkill for TikTok/Reels/Shorts creators who just want a quick effect.[1] - Existing mobile/video apps rarely combine AI background removal, realistic paper textures, and export-ready formats (green screen, transparent PNG sequences) in one place. - The goal is a “Canva for paper animation”: upload → tweak → export in under a minute.## How it works- Upload a photo (JPG/PNG/WebP up to 10MB); the AI removes the background and extracts th
