NASA Science Soars During August Total Solar Eclipsehttps://science.nasa.gov/science-research/heliophysics/nasa-science-soars-during-august-total-solar-eclipse/Each time the Moon covers the Sun during a total solar eclipse — darkening daytime skies and briefly revealing the Sun’s ethereal outer atmosphere, the corona — it presents new opportunities to better understand our star and its influence on Earth. On Wednesday, Aug. 12, as the next total solar eclipse sweeps over Greenland, Iceland, […]

NASA’s Swift Sees ‘Wandering’ Mega Black Hole Shredding Starhttps://science.nasa.gov/missions/swift/nasas-swift-sees-wandering-mega-black-hole-shredding-star/NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory captured an “orphan” black hole lighting up as it devoured a star on the outskirts of a faraway galaxy. These phenomena are rare to begin with, and none had ever before been seen so far outside of a galaxy’s core. “We were looking for these star-shredding events as a way […]

Show HN: Let's Seal – Let's Encrypt for document signing, free and self-hostedhttps://github.com/letsseal/letssealTLDR, Let's Seal gives the finger to Adobe and every doc signing tool (docusign, google, etc) who pay to play with the Adobe Approved Trust List and then charge you for something that should be free.Currently even the person checking if a document/contract is sealed or code is authentic has to also be inside the same Adobe walled garden too. Verification, the part that should be free is the part everyone charges for. Thats the shape Let's Encrypt fixed for TLS, and I wanted the same thing for documents and files.The core idea therefore needed to go a bit beyond e signatures and i created an open standard (SEAL), plus free tools that implement it.When you seal a file, three independent things happen.1. it gets a signature from a certificate authority, chaining to a public root. 2. its record is appended to an RFC 6962 transparency log. and 3. its SHA256 is timestamped on a public blockchain (Bitcoin) via OpenTimestamps. Those three give you integrity, transparency and a timestamped proo

Ask HN: 1950's Chip industry undermined unions how is AI not doing the same?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49064165In the 1950s the Chip industry undermined minorities, immigrants, women and killed unions.In the 1960-70s it targeted black civil rights groups.Along the way, white men were pushed into management, while anything outside of business was split into smaller tasked jobs. This in return gave companies leverage to cut salaries.I don't care what altman says chatgpt did in a blackbox. I judge the world by what I see. Reality is, chat, claude, etc etc are about as useful as smart as the stupidest, slowest engineer on the team.On the other hand, introducing them has made the job appear more "streamline" more production line like. Work increased, and salaries flattened.Now that companies are not getting returns off of AI, they are cutting AI spending, but make no mistake. Salaries will not recover.What am I missing? How am I wrong?Would love opinions on this

Show HN: Scanner for cellular automata rule spacehttps://kypaku.github.io/pages/ca2026/Many years ago I was interested in cellular automata, inspired by Stephen Wolfram's work. I dug into elementary CA and totalistic 3-state rules. But when I went to more states it was getting boring. Almost all of them are dead or chaotic or something that everybody has already seen. But somewhere inside there could be another 110, and nobody looked.Now that we have AI coding, I decided I can build something in that area, and an app for scanning rules was the obvious thing. I implemented an explorer with a bunch of filters: gliders, chaos, large structures, and custom search. The last one works backwards — you draw a pattern and a rule passes only if this pattern never occurs. I could not define "interesting", but it was easy to say what disqualifies a rule. It also renders diagrams as big PNG.Demo: https://kypaku.github.io/pages/ca2026/ Source: https://github.com/Kypaku/ca2026

ASK HN: Why has technology become so unreliable?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49056900Even though I'm a software engineer with long experience with serious projects, I'm become so disillusioned with the whole thing nowadays.Forget the ridiculous AI hype, forget about the lack of ethics and a moral compass; What's getting to me right now is the unreliability of it all. It seems like everything is held together with duct tape, and the tape is falling off.Just in the last few months, all these have happened:- My Macbook Air M1 has been acting up, refusing to charge in a stable manner. The audio jack is dead because apparently it is linked to the charging circuit. The screen sometimes shows a tint on a whim. Now it is dead and not charging at all. Granted, it has otherwise been a fine machine so far, and I've knocked it over a few times, but still. Even my old trusty 2014 Macbook Pro is still going strong, and I've abused that one much more.- I also can't use my old Macbook Pro well, because the replacement Transcend 256GB SSD I put in it around 2020 is now failing, causing

Show HN: Cygnus – A fast, lightweight self-hostable serverless runtime and PaaShttps://cygnus.runI built Cygnus because of a long standing frustration with the compromises needed to be made when choosing a deployment option for web applications.The ecosystem is fragmented into a few distinct camps, each sacrificing user experience or runtime compatibility to balance isolation, startup latency, and their own profit margins.Docker: Heavier and slower because it has to supervise more than web apps. Paying overhead you don't need. MicroVM's: Good isolation, but huge maintenance surface area and substantial overhead. Great for untrusted code, overkill for your own apps. Workerd: Tries to dance around hardware isolation by enforcing an in-process V8 isolate model. Neutered runtime to prevent arbitrary syscall execution. Personally I still find the tradeoff worthwhile for their edge footprint, but I still find myself complaining about it from time to time. Vercel/Managed serverless: Delivers a great developer experience, uses microVM's which is good for compatibility but has a business m

Ask HN: Multi dimensional sort (beyond Hilbert curve)https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49042861My point is about structuring and indexing an arbitrary dataset, for preprocessing before eg segmentation/clustering, neighbor querys...In 1D, sorting is trivial because scalar values have a total, unambiguous order. In 2D and higher dimensions, there is no single way to order points, and points can't all be compared >=/=_k v if u_k >= v_k (comparing along the k-th coordinate axis only).In 1D, a sorted array satisfies x[i+1] >= x[i]. Extending this naturally to a multi-indexed d-dimensional array x[i, j, k, ...], we can define a dataset as "cartesian sorted" if:- x[i+1, j, k, ...] >=_1 x[i, j, k, ...] - x[i, j+1, k, ...] >=_2 x[i, j, k, ...] - ...and so on.In other words, the array of multi indexes is sorted along every row, column, and slice under its corresponding coordinate projection.What makes this definition interesting is that their exist a very simple algorithm to perform Nd sort in the "cartesian" sense. Just iterate: 1. Perform 1D sorts along every row (apply the permutation

Show HN: Build native iOS widgets from any HTTPS endpointhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49033628I built Dashlet since I often found myself building different web dashboards for all sorts of data (custom page views monitoring, app downloads, info from my home sensors) and I quickly got tired of always having to navigate to a page in Safari and reenter credentials to access them.I wanted to just simply be able to see it on my phone, when scrolling around it - in almost realtime.I've built bespoke apps (just for myself) in the past, that mapped a specific custom API for that purpose, but it was a hassle anytime I changed something in the response or added some new API for myself.So, Dashlet is an answer to that - it can handle any JSON (or XML, or even image) endpoints and has a nice interactive way of picking which values out of it should be displayed in which type of widget. So, if something has an API but no app (or no widget), Dashlet lets you point it at an HTTPS endpoint, visually map fields from JSON/XML/images, and create native Home Screen (also lock screen and Apple Watch)
