Hello HN, Over the last 12 months, I have been building https://learnawesome.org This idea came from Danny Hillis' 2012 talk at OSCON, which itself was inspired from Neal Stepehenson's _The Diamond Age : A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer_ The dream is to build a tool that matches the right learning material to the right student at the right time. Wikipedia is great, but it doesn't do a good job of leveraging the rich variety of learning resources that exist on the Web. Same applies to GoodReads - which is focused only on books, whereas these days we actually learn from videos,…

A powerful and intriguing experience inspired me to create a Slack community for Psychedelic researchers, therapists, shamans and the curious. Check it out here: http://psychedelicchat.com Looking for feedback and ideas to help make it a highly collaborative, engaging and supportive community.

Link: http://www.distilbio.com DistilBio lets you look up detailed information on drugs, diseases, proteins etc. You can ask questions like "Find drugs which interact with Tylenol, and proteins which are targeted by these drugs", or build more complex queries if you like. While it is targeted at scientists in the life sciences field, we've found that many people like finding out more about drugs they're using, diseases they know about etc. We're continuing to add more data and make it more useful for the layman too. We thought we'd like to show our app to HN users and solicit feedback before…

This was more of a sandbox to play with Raphael and Flot than anything else but I think there are some interesting statistics in there. It'd be awesome to do this over time but I really don't have the spare time required.

I was struggling to understand neuroscience and the word associations between technical terms and where the locations are (anatomically) And quite some of my neuroscience friends are loving it.

We're excited to release PaperQA2, an open source RAG library specialized to work with the scientific literature. We've seen some really compelling results with it (https://paper.wikicrow.ai), like superhuman performance at question answering and summarization when compared with expert scientists. PaperQA2 is a major overhaul of our prior PaperQA system, it includes automatically obtained rich metadata for each paper, a CLI to work with local papers directly, a local full-text search engine for keywords searches over PDF files, a state-of-the-art algorithm for LLM-based re-ranking…

I've been frustrated by existing "magic mushroom dosage calculators": most are either visually rough, only handle cubensis, or hard-code one potency value and ignore species, tolerance, and degradation. So I built Mycodosing.wtf – a research‑informed calculator that tries to do three things better: Models species‑level potency using psilocybin/psilocin/baeocystin mg/g with separate profiles for truffles (and syntetics!). Outputs dose ranges (min/median/max) instead of a single magic number, using per‑species uncertainty factors for real‑world variability. Includes a…

Hi HN, We've been frustrated with how confidently LLMs hallucinate—a dangerous flaw in high-stakes domains like health and medicine. The standard "I am not an expert" disclaimer feels insufficient since we all ignore those statements. Our approach is a RAG/agentic system built to solve this. It runs on ~40M+ scientific papers, but goes beyond simple retrieval. A multi-agent workflow decomposes queries, cross-references claims against multiple sources, and synthesizes answers, ensuring every key statement is cited directly from the literature. Beyond the literature, our agent system has…

I found myself jumping between ChatGPT, tabs, and docs, but never building real understanding. This is my attempt at fixing that — for researchers, curious readers, and lifelong learners. Would love your thoughts on the interface, and whether this would be useful in your own work or otherwise.

Input a SMILES string (or pick one molecule from the examples) and it returns up to 100k molecules closest in 3-D shape or electrostatic similarity – from 10+ billion scale databases — typically in under 5-10 s. *Why it might interest HN* * Entire index lives on disk — no GPU at query-time, less than ~10 GB RAM total. * Built from scratch (no FAISS index / Milvus / Pinecone). * Index-build cost: one Nvidia T4 (~ 300USD) for one 5.5B database. * Open to anyone, predict ADMET, export results as CSV/SDF. Full write-up & benchmarks (DUD-E, LIT-PCBA, SVS) in the pre-print:…
