IMAGEStudy questions assumptions about hidden alien technosignalsBerlin, Germany (SPX) Feb 18, 2026 For more than sixty years, astronomers have conducted systematic searches for technosignatures, looking for artificial radio emissions, laser flashes, or excess heat that could reveal advanced civilizations in the Milky Way. Despite decades of monitoring across radio, optical, and infrared bands, no technosignature has been confirmed, a result often attributed to the fact that only a small
Show HN: Rememex – Semantic file search that runs 100% locally (Rust/Tauri)Hey HN, I built Rememex a semantic search layer for your local files. The problem: I kept losing files. Not because they were deleted, but because I couldn't remember the exact filename or keyword. grep needs the exact word. Everything only searches filenames. I wanted to type what I meant and find what I needed. How it works: - Indexes 120+ file types (code, docs, images, configs) - Hybrid search: vector embeddings + full-text + JINA cross-encoder reranking - OCR on images via Windows UWP engine - Reads EXIF GPS → reverse geocodes to city names ("photos from istanbul" works) - EXIF dates → human language ("summer morning" finds a July 8am photo) - Smart chunking per language (Rust at fn/struct, Python at def/class) - Built-in MCP server so AI agents can use it as a tool Everything runs locally. Embeddings use a local ONNX model (Multilingual-E5-Base) by default, though you can optionally plug in OpenAI/Gemini/Cohere. Named after Vannevar Bush's Memex (1945) his vision of a device that

Show HN: Open-source Deep Research across workplace applicationsI’ve been using deep research on OpenAI and Perplexity and it’s been just amazing at gathering data across a lot of related and chained searches. Just earlier today, I asked “What are some marquee tech companies / hot startups (not including the giants like FAAMG, Samsung, Nvidia etc.)”. It’s a pretty involved question and looking up “marquee tech startups” or "hot tech startups" on Google gave me nothing useful. Deep research on both ChatGPT and Perplexity gave really high quality responses with ChatGPT siding on slightly larger scaleups and Perplexity siding more on up and coming companies.Given how useful AI research agents are across the internet, we decided to build an open-source equivalent for the workplace since a ton of questions at work also cannot be easily resolved with a single search. Onyx supports deep research connected to company applications like Google Drive, Salesforce, Sharepoint, GitHub, Slack, and 30+ others.For example, an engineer may want to know “What’s happe

IMAGELaunch HN: Koko (YC W22 Nonprofit) – Online Suicide Prevention KitHi! My name is Rob and I’m working with my cofounder Kareem on Koko (https://www.kokocares.org). We’re a nonprofit that provides free digital mental health services to millions of people struggling online — particularly adolescents.Today, we are launching our Online Suicide Prevention Kit (https://www.kokocares.org/suicide-prevention-toolkit). The goal is to help social networks and online communities better support at-risk individuals on their platforms.Many social platforms have built-in lists of keywords that detect mental health-related search terms (e.g., “self-harm” or “depression”). There is already an established practice to suppress content or surface disclaimers for such searches. Search “suicide” on most platforms and you’ll at least get shown a 1-800 number.But there are a few problems with this. The keyword lists always have glaring omissions. Millions of young adults can still easily find dangerous content, such as tips on how to self-harm or kill themselves. And while so

Ask HN: What silly or weird web search did you do recently?Web searches have become a common part of most peoples' lives. But there are times when an 'innocent bystander' might ask themselves: "What the #&$@ is that?".So: what web search did you do recently, where (imagining average-dude-in-the-street looking over your shoulder) that person might utter a WTF or two? Multiple answers allowed!Please keep in mind that HN users (on average) do not qualify as "average dude in the street". Whoever he/she/they may be. What may seem ordinary/known to many on HN, may not seem so to most other people. And the reverse may also be true: HN users could be less likely to keep tabs on say, the latest memes, TikTok videos or celebrity gossip.Perhaps it's a good idea to leave names of software projects out? There's sooooo many, a significant fraction of those passing by on HN posts don't ring any bell for me.Let's summarize it as "whatever might pique a random bystander's intellectual curiosity".
