The "BdF’s underground vault in La Souterraine" sounds profoundly interesting.

ok, could it be: Crystal Oscillator Design and Temperature Compensation :Marvin E. Frerking (1978). or perhaps Introduction to Quartz Crystal Unit Design : Virgil E. Bottom (1982)?

This awesome. Could you perhaps remember the title of the book you lost?

The premise behind this vibe-coded website is excellent. It would have been great if a bit more effort had been invested in the visualization side and, if instead of using "AI-rendered" images, you'd have fetched scientifically accurate representations from papers and open repositories.

Those really were the good old days. My BBS ran out of my parents’ attic, with two phone lines and Renegade on the server (on a beefed-up PS/1). It was pure magic.

Is the appeal of this tool its ability to identify semantic similarity?

Science magazine used to run a genuinely thought-provoking “Breakthrough of the Year.” Lately, it feels like it has narrowed to AI+AI+agents, and more AI.

I’m looking for an outlet that consistently highlights truly unexpected, high-impact scientific breakthroughs across fields.

Ask HN: Is there anything like that out there?

I am looking for a durable, geopolitically resilient way to host a personal blog for decades. Requirements: minimal or no maintenance, strong portability, and either a one-time cost or free setup.

This reminds me of a beautiful book written by Paul Nahin, 'The Science of Radio'.

Their white paper touches on the issue, which seems slightly hand-wavy without much detail on quantification. They could potentially take advantage of heat gradients from deep space and dissipate heat to explore the Seeback effect.
