New Material Could Help NASA Melt Moon Rocks, Harness Lunar Resourceshttps://www.nasa.gov/general/new-material-melt-moon-rocks/A material recently discovered and tested at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland could help astronauts pack lighter for future missions to the Moon. NASA is researching ways explorers could “live off the land” by harnessing lunar resources, including melting Moon rocks to extract metals for building infrastructure and oxygen for fuel and life support.

Ask HN: Macbook or Linux Laptop for devs and heavy users?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47974702Hey everyone, I'm really curious to hear from people who pushes high end MacBooks and Linux laptops to their limits in daily use. I'll share my daily experience with my Linux laptop below, and I'm hoping to use the feedback from those who have been on both sides to decide if I should make the jump to a MacBook in the future. My experience: I'm a web developer doing both frontend and backend. I also do some mobile dev with Flutter. Personally, I prefer using an Android phone and a Linux machine. I'm currently using an Acer laptop with an i7-13700H and 32GB of DDR4 RAM. I got my company to buy it for way cheaper than similar models on the market. While the overall performance is really good for the price, the speakers are absolute trash and the screen is just okay. Here is what's on my mind: Even though I can get about 3-4 hours of coding done on battery, it's obviously nowhere near a MacBook. I don't really need that long battery life most of the time, but it still sounds nice to have. May 1, 2026 1:40 PM

Show HN: Notation – an iOS chess coach (Stockfish on device and optional BYOK)https://notationchesscoach.appHi HN. Solo iOS middle aged, slightly burnt out dad from the UK here, wondering if anyone is interested in what I've been building. Lifelong chess fan, not very good but always trying to improve and I started to build Notation: Chess coach a while back. It's been live a month now on the App Store, doing modest numbers, and I've been learning a lot... mainly make my add brain slow down, stop, test everything twice and never when tired. Submissions will always wait another day!Many people play on chess com, or lichess, just as many in apps and OTB. What my app does (differently I hope) is bring that data together.You can import PGNs of your games, connect to chess com and lichess and sync your games over or play in the app. If you have a Chessnut electronic board, you can play IRL on that as well.Every game, every move is then analysed by a series of on device detectors, and classifiers. And I'm not talking about"I run Stockfish 18 and get your move evals" like most tools do.... Theres aApr 22, 2026 7:46 AM

Show HN: MoatRadar – AI investment research through Warren Buffett's principleshttps://www.moatradar.com/?promo=HACKERNEWSHey HN,I’m a non-developer and this is the first app I’ve ever shipped in my life. I built it over the last few days using Claude and a lot of vibe coding.The idea came from my own investing workflow: I often look at companies through the lens of specific investors (Buffett, Lynch, Taleb, etc.). I wanted a tool that could generate investment ideas filtered through those frameworks.What the app does:You choose an investor (Buffett, Lynch, Soros, Damodaran, etc.) and an asset class (stocks, startups, crypto). The app then generates 10 opportunities and explains why that investor might find them interesting, based on their known principles.Under the hood: • Node.js server (no frameworks) • Vanilla JS frontend • GPT-4o for research / synthesis • live price data • Stripe + Google OAuth • hosted on RailwayIt’s still an experiment and I’m curious if the idea actually makes sense to other investors.You can try it here:https://www.moatradar.comHN users can get 10 free credits:https://www.moatraMar 4, 2026 11:25 PM

Show HN: I built a weather alert system for photographershttps://app.photoweather.app/demo/live-demoI kept missing the good stuff (fog, aurora, beautiful sunsets) because I wasn't checking forecasts at the right time, so I built PhotoWeather...You define rules like: `aurora_quality > 60 AND cloud_cover < 20% AND moon_below_horizon` `fog_prob > 70% AND within 30min of sunrise AND wind < 5 mph`When a rule matches, you get an email and/or an iCal event. The iCal feed is the part I am maybe most proud of: subscribe once and upcoming "shoot windows" show up in your calendar.One example that made me sure this wasn't just a toy: last October it alerted "clear skies + no moon + strong aurora" and I drove to a nearby high spot in Helsinki. Ended up catching aurora and Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) in one frame: https://reddit.com/r/Finland/comments/1obc5nz/Not my best photo ever, but probably the most unique and memorable, and I'll continue to remember my real-life "photoweather actually works" moment through it.A few things that differentiates this from your average weather app:Spatial sampling AJan 1, 2026 12:54 PM
