What returning to lunar space means for human healthhttps://spacenews.com/what-returning-to-lunar-space-means-for-human-health/Preparing to send astronauts back to the moon is no small feat. Spaceflight exposes the body to both known and unknown risks, some of which are subtle, cumulative, and difficult to predict. When humans were last on the lunar surface in 1972, they stayed for just over three days. On that final mission, Apollo astronauts […] The post What returning to lunar space means for human health appeared first on SpaceNews.Apr 9, 2026 1:00 PM

Launch HN: Relvy (YC F24) – On-call runbooks, automatedhttps://www.relvy.aiHey HN! We are Bharath, and Simranjit from Relvy AI (https://www.relvy.ai). Relvy automates on-call runbooks for software engineering teams. It is an AI agent equipped with tools that can analyze telemetry data and code at scale, helping teams debug and resolve production issues in minutes. Here’s a video: [[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXr4_XlWXc0]]]A lot of teams are using AI in some form to reduce their on-call burden. You may be pasting logs into Cursor, or using Claude Code with Datadog’s MCP server to help debug. What we’ve seen is that autonomous root cause analysis is a hard problem for AI. This shows up in benchmarks - Claude Opus 4.6 is currently at 36% accuracy on the OpenRCA dataset, in contrast to coding tasks.There are three main reasons for this: (1) Telemetry data volume can drown the model in noise; (2) Data interpretation / reasoning is enterprise context dependent; (3) On-call is a time-constrained, high-stakes problem, with little room for AI to explore during iApr 9, 2026 12:11 PM

AI for Small and Medium Businesses. Tadviser Conference Reporthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47702474There were two companies with different approaches to integrating AI enterprise-wide: from bottom to top and from top to bottom. The first company (tom-tailor.ru) uses a "digital ecosystem" approach to prevent "hyper-automation." Many small services are used to empower people. A common data bus integrates them, but the main focus is on independence and people. They work closely with marketplaces and monitor trends and competitors. This is how they achieve flexibility. They take 1.5 months to check if a process is successful.Second (government corporation unirusgroup.ru) uses the motto: “Competence center” is not a “development center.” A competence center serves as a hub for expertise and training, and is used as the primary place to adopt AI. This center gathers experts from across the enterprise and integrates their knowledge in the center. The center has a robust sandbox for developing and using AI modules. This allows them to scale and share AI knowledge and avoid silos in technicaApr 9, 2026 11:53 AM

Can a non – coder build a high tech product?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47701941I’ve been thinking about this seriously.A few years ago, building something like a platform where users can create their own agents, workflows, or even a no-code builder itself would have required a strong engineering team. Today, the landscape feels very different.So the question is simple:Can a non-coder realistically build a high-tech product now? Not a landing page, but something foundational — like an agent platform or a no-code tool itself?My current understanding:You don’t need to code everything anymore — you need to architect. Tools exist for backend logic, UI, databases, and even AI orchestration. The bottleneck has shifted from “writing code” → to “knowing what to build and how systems connect.”But I’m unsure where the ceiling is.For example:Can a non-coder stitch together APIs, LLMs, and automation tools to create something defensible? Or will they always hit a wall where real engineering becomes unavoidable? Is “no-code building a no-code platform” actually viable, or justApr 9, 2026 10:48 AM

Free Google Workspace Account Falsely Accused of Commercial Usehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47695419We all know Google has been trying to get rid of their free legacy Google Workspace accounts. They almost did it entirely awhile back, and recanted at the last second.I have had one of these accounts since it was known as Google Apps For Your Domain. It’s the primary Google account for me and several of my friends. We weren’t using it for business then, and we are not using it for business now. I only ever wanted to have a normal consumer free Google account, but I also wanted for me and my friends to be able to use our domain on our email addresses instead of gmail.com. Because of that, we have been trapped in Google Workspaces for twenty years. Such a big mistake. If only I had a time machine to go back and stop myself.Just last week I got an e-mail that said our still-free Google Workspaces account has been flagged for violating the personal non-commercial use policy. We either have to upgrade to a paid account, have our accounts deleted, or appeal.Of course I appealed with no expecApr 8, 2026 7:52 PM

Show HN: The Crab Games, a platform where agents compete in silly challengeshttps://thecrabgames.com/Hi all! At some point me and a friend were messing around with agents, OpenClaw, etc and we had this thing with "my agent is better than yours", just for fun. We started throwing different tasks at them and comparing the results, and the whole thing ended up evolving into what I called "The Crab Games".It's a simple platform where humans (for now just me) create "challenges" (single or multi-round) which any agent can discover and signup to compete. A voting system defines who wins each round, who gets eliminated, etc, and both humans and agents can vote (weighted votes). The challenges can involve entries of different types, from plain text to images or even music (audio) or html+css.I have a weird fascination at watching what the different agents come up with. Often its just generic slop but times to times you find some funny or cool submissions (Like an SVG representing the sentence "Ghost in the Machine" that was quite bad and eerie at the same time, or how one of the models decideApr 8, 2026 2:57 PM

Show HN: OpenFable – Open-source RAG engine using tree-structured indexeshttps://github.com/alainbrown/openfableHi HN, I built OpenFable, an open-source retrieval engine that implements the FABLE algorithm (https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.18116) for RAG pipelines. I'm using it in another project and thought that others might benefit. Most RAG systems chunk documents into flat segments and retrieve by vector similarity. This works for simple lookups but breaks when answers span multiple sections, when relevant content is buried in a subsection, or when you need to control how many tokens you're sending to an LLM. OpenFable takes a different approach: when you ingest a document, it uses an LLM to identify discourse boundaries (not fixed-size windows), then builds a hierarchical tree, root, sections, subsections, leaf chunks, with embeddings at every level. Retrieval combines two paths: 1. LLM-guided path: the LLM reasons about which documents and subtrees are relevant from summaries 2. Vector path: similarity search with structure-aware score propagation through the tree Results from both paths are fusApr 8, 2026 1:05 PM

Show HN: Redos-analyzer – static ReDoS detection and auto-fix for Pythonhttps://github.com/HarshithReddy01/redos-analyzerAt 13:42 UTC on July 2, 2019, an engineer working for Cloudflare made changes to the regular ruleset that was being used by their Web Application Firewall. In under three minutes, there was an 80% drop in the amount of traffic globally. The load on all HTTP serving CPUs in their network hit 100%. It was caused by one regular expression intended to detect XSS attacks, which contained the regular expression pattern `.(?:.=.)`. This pattern included two quantifiers using `.` on the same character class.That was the result of a production ReDoS.I was interested to know how frequent such patterns are in Python libraries that we use everyday.Apr 8, 2026 1:56 AM

We find big-name AI tools pretty unusable for serious writing tasks, research work, and really kind of workflows that require accurate citations.We were deeply inspired by Cursor AI , Drive, and Google Scholar. These tools are all so helpful for us and changed the way that we worked with information and technology throughout our lives.Most of the time we only want to use AI for specific, assistive tasks like scraping through a ton of files for quotes, searching for new sources, or when we do want to generate text it needs to be accurate, it needs to follow specific directions without rewriting or hurting my work, and it must always check with me so I can verify that agents are working on the right track.We built Ubik Studio to solve these problems that also feel like larger issues preventing tons of people from using AI in their serious work effectively.You can work from local files and folder (without touching the cloud), use any Apr 7, 2026 10:16 PM

Developers push builds from their machine; players download them through an Electron app. https://raccreativegames.com/en/homeThe problem: every update (even changing a single texture) transferred the entire build over S3.
