Separo··on I don't care how well your "AI" works
If as the author suggests AI is inherently designed to further concentrate control and capital, that may be so, but that is also the aim of every business.
Separo··on Personal blogs are back, should niche blogs be next?
What app can I use to aggregate all the blogs I want to follow?
Separo··on If you're remote, ramble
Channels should also include a #roast-the-product channel which encourages harsh, direct but valid criticism of the product (NOT people / feature authors etc).

It should be an anything-goes place where anything can be vented but also, no responses are required.

Separo··on When Figma starts designing us
As a once full-time designer turned full-time engineer, I totally agree with the author.

There are plenty of other more creative design tools - but Figma's success and ubiquity have locked many organisations into more limited, sometimes formulaic and un-creative design expressions.

Also, I unfortunately don't feel that this is the ideal forum for this idea to get much support.

Separo··on On Not Carrying a Camera – Cultivating memories instead of snapshots
I travel a lot and going back through days in Google Maps timeline is fun and nostalgic without the photos.
Separo··on Go European: Discover European products and services
Switzerland and the UK will always be honorary Europeans.

Always.

Separo··on US will ban cancer-linked Red Dye No. 3 in cereal and other foods
Do libertarians support this kind of move?
Separo··on Norepinephrine-mediated slow vasomotion drives glymphatic clearance during sleep
Only because I heard about it recently. Alternative title: we figured out how the brain gets rid of junk while you sleep.
Separo··on Lfgss shutting down 16th March 2025 (day before Online Safety Act is enforced)
I haven't read the act and am not going to, but, for this size community I'm pretty sure having a flag/report button would do the trick, and to go the extra mile, with very cheap LLM's generating a "dodgy content" score on every message would be pretty trivial. This seems a bit knee-jerk of a reaction to delete the whole site.
Separo··on Show HN: World's Radio – Listen to Radio Stations Worldwide
Yes I’ve also found a few key ones missing.
Separo··on A cycling desk / Zwifting with a split keyboard
I’m on Zwift a lot with the Zwift Ride and Wahoo Kickr core. But I’m looking for a recumbent setup so that I can also work while riding or game on the ps5 in a more comfy position. For keyboard I have the Ultimate Hacking Keyboard which is perfect since it has a mouse layer built in. Haven’t figured out the recumbent setup yet though. Any tips appreciated. I’m in the EU.
Separo··on Perceptually lossless (talking head) video compression at 22kbit/s
We could run something like TensorFlow.js in a Chrome extension to identify the person in the image and replace it in the dom. A little resource intensive for inference on every image in but probably worth it in this case.
Separo··on The quiet art of attention
Totally. Feels like a literary street performer.
Separo··on The quiet art of attention
I know some people may find the introduction engaging, but any article that begins: "There comes a moment in life..." you just know that the author is going to lay out some pretentious self-scripture.
Separo··on Huly – Open-source project management platform
My company uses Linear, Slack, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Monday, GitHub, Discord and more. This, if it works well, would be a godsend.
Separo··on Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton [pdf]
Except that the development of deep neural networks took direct inspiration biological neuroscience with neurons and synapses. Neural is even in the name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_learning
Separo··on Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton [pdf]
> His work is a net negative for the world.

Bit early for this very Hacker News type blurt.

Eg: Personalized medicine, predictive medicine, protein folding, climate modelling, smart grids, fraud detection, disaster response, food production modelling, etc.

Well maybe in time ML will help break through the high energy physics roadblocks.
Separo··on JavaScript dates are about to be fixed
How would I handle this with Postgres?
Separo··on Show HN: If YouTube had actual channels
I don't know why I love this.
Separo··on Medieval
I'm pretty sure that's the joke.
Separo··on People are shooting down Walmart delivery drones
The standard response to this should be: "Of course they are".
Separo··on I nearly died drowning
Well done on instilling in your son the deep-seated lesson that you are not trustworthy.
Separo··on Google helped destroy adoption of RSS feeds (2023)
An evolution of RSS should have been the end game of social networks.

The dream of crypto was supposed to make this near zero
Separo··on Farmland practices are driving bird population decline across Europe
Anecdotal but I noticed in Portugal recently, in summer, over the course of two months, I saw pretty much no birds.
Separo··on How to get new ideas
“I apologize for such a long letter - I didn't have time to write a short one.” - Mark Twain
Separo··on Copilot sells code other people wrote
No. You still have the option not to buy Copilot and still use GitHub's services for free on public projects. Or, if you're not comfortable with your open source code being perused by an AI, you can set up your own privately hosted public Git repo pretty easily.

I honestly don't understand the general outrage at this fair seeming deal to me.
