Preprint Describes IgE-Disrupting Antibody for Food Allergy, Designed with Claude AI

·1 views

A preprint posted to Hacker News links to a PDF from Divergence Labs describing an antibody designed to disrupt IgE, the antibody class central to food allergic reactions. The work reportedly used Claude, an AI model, to assist in the antibody design process. The document is a preprint, meaning it has not yet undergone formal peer review. The post gained modest attention on the forum, with four points and one comment at the time of posting. The article text available is limited to the link and discussion metadata, so details of the antibody's performance remain unverified here.

The app closes the popup in about a quarter of a second and leaves a notification noting that it did so. The developer shared the tool on Hacker News, where it gathered 16 points and 4 comments, and asked for user feedback.

hldays adds a source and verbatim quote to every holiday record

The third post in the hldays series explains how each holiday record is backed by a source, including a URL, a human reference, a verbatim quote, and a verification date. The author gives examples such as Alenquer's municipal holiday and Madeira's Autonomy Day, citing a regional decree. Records carry one of two statuses, verified or unverified, and a build-time check blocks deployment if a verified record lacks a URL and verification date. Official sources such as laws and government registries are required for verification, while news articles and Wikipedia serve only as leads. The post also notes that Portugal's 308 municipalities have no single official holiday list, so the data was collected in several passes.

Agent Buys Live Akash Compute With 11 USDC After Bridging From Base Via Osmosis

An AI agent that trades and sells API calls spent about 11 USDC to buy real cloud infrastructure, moving funds from Base through Osmosis and then to the Akash network. The transfer used a bridge, an Osmosis swap, an IBC transfer, and a burn-and-mint step to acquire escrow tokens, producing a live mainnet deployment costing roughly $0.02 per day. The author reports five failed attempts, including a changed escrow denomination, a silent minimum-mint shortfall, and a deploy script that mishandled decimal bid strings. A provider with working containers but no outbound network access was also found and blocked, and the author's own mirror was found to be serving upstream failures as healthy responses.
