Show HN: I turned my PDFs into audiobooks I can have conversations withhttps://asktotle.comHey HN,TLDR: Upload any document, get an audiobook with synced highlighting you can pause and talk to.I'm a self-taught dev (admittedly mediocre), currently between jobs and my brain is absolutely fried from social media. I can't read anymore. My eyes glaze over after two paragraphs.So I went down a rabbit hole looking for scientifically proven ways to actually focus while reading:- Encoding info visually AND aurally reduces mind wandering by up to 40% - Retrieval practice (asking questions) beats passive re-reading every time - Background music matched to content keeps you in flowCouldn't find anything that did all this. So I built it myself:- Synced text highlighting while you listen - Talk with your book; pause and ask "wait what does that mean?" and it knows exactly where you are (won't spoil what's ahead) - Adaptive background music that matches the mood of each pageI've removed all slop. No flashy features, no gamification etc. etc. Just reading on steroids for fried brains, likeFeb 2, 2026 11:49 AM

Quantum collapse models point to subtle limits in timekeeping accuracyhttps://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Quantum_collapse_models_point_to_subtle_limits_in_timekeeping_accuracy_999.htmlLos Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 21, 2026 Quantum mechanics describes a microscopic world in which particles exist in a superposition of states, being in multiple places and configurations at once, encoded in a mathematical object called a wavefunction. But this picture clashes with everyday experience, where objects appear in definite locations and configurations, never in superpositions. To account for this, standard quantum theJan 21, 2026 1:11 PM

Satellite and model fusion boosts China solar radiation forecastshttps://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Satellite_and_model_fusion_boosts_China_solar_radiation_forecasts_999.htmlTokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 31, 2025 The intermittent output of solar power creates challenges for grid operators who must keep supply and demand in balance. Traditional numerical weather prediction models often handle cloud initialization poorly, which degrades ultra-short-term solar irradiance forecasts over time.
