CancerDB: A public domain CSV file to help build a cure
Hi HN! I started working in Cancer Research at the University of Hawaii Cancer Center 4.5 years ago in March 2018. If you thought programming and computers were complex, WAIT until you start trying to wrap your head around cancer. We're talking Orders of Magnitude more complexity. I know it might seem outrageous that a lowly CSV file will help in the quest to build a cure, but I truly believe it might. I think what seems like miracles always comes down to grunt data collection, with a few moments of key insights. Anyway, the site will launch November 1st. Please give it a star and a share…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN! I started working in Cancer Research at the University of Hawaii Cancer Center 4.5 years ago in March 2018. If you thought programming and computers were complex, WAIT until you start trying to wrap your head around cancer. We're talking Orders of Magnitude more complexity. I know it might seem outrageous that a lowly CSV file will help in the quest to build a cure, but I truly believe it might. I think what seems like miracles always comes down to grunt data collection, with a few moments of key insights. Anyway, the site will launch November 1st. Please give it a star and a share (and/or even a pull request!) between now and then. Thank you to everyone for your help. Thank you in particular to the fine folks at the University of Hawai'i Cancer Center! I am there right now at my desk. Thanks especially to John Shepherd (https://shepherdresearchlab.org/about/our-team/john-shepherd...) who let me keep my desk here and books here and keycard access even though I stopped working here years ago! Thank you for not letting them "Fix the Glitch" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUE0PPQI3is). Let's get to work building that CSV file! -Breck

Hi HN,<p>I've posted a couple times here before (mostly within posts pertaining to Amit Gupta's search for a bone marrow donor) and I wanted to share a site I've been working on for the past 5 months or so that recently went live. I'm going on my fifth year of being an Acute Myelogenous Leukemia survivor, and while I didn't need a bone marrow transplant myself at one point it was a very real possibility. At that time I became aware of the lack of minority bone marrow donors and made a promise to myself to try to do something about it if I were to survive. This site is something of a…
- B2Bvckup 2 – Fast File Replicator for Windows2019 · bvckup2.com · ▲154
This is a long-running project that started as the proverbial need to scratch my own itch and then somehow evolved into a full-time job of the past 6 years. Link: https://bvckup2.com I thought I'd do a Show HN for two reasons. 1. I obviously want to show my baby to those who haven't seen it. Its primary purpose is to do very fast file replication. If you are familiar with "robocopy /mir" - same idea, but on steroids. Lots of them. It can be used for both mirroring and archiving backups, among other things. It is light, very small and it is really quite fast. Half of the…

- IWI wrote a GPU-less billion-vector DB for molecule search (live demo)2025 · cheese-new.deepmedchem.com · ▲9
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:…

A couple of years ago, I had an interesting idea. What if there was a marketplace where all the underlying tech was open-source? The order management system, the storefront, customer support, etc. The marketplace would simply connect to the seller’s infra instead of locking them in. If, for some reason, the seller is removed from the marketplace, their software stays with them and they can continue accepting orders directly. This model can be used to disrupt any marketplace from AirBNB to UberEats: building tech for home renters and restaurants and later, leveraging that to build a competing…
