Also, I genuinely look forward to setting up a situation monitor when I shift to a bigger place. I've seen the memes about "monitoring the situation with the lads" and always thought it would actually be quite fun. Thanks for

I do want to encourage more BSky use, but a lot of imp OSINT accounts are still on X. Maybe can we have XCancel integration? Also to better communicate urgency, a scrolling RSS feed news ticker might slap. I can see myself chaining monitors

There's a quote by Mahatma Gandhi that resonates whenever I see contrasting debates about this economic indicator or that: "I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply t

I know this might seem reductive but when you say "look where everyone is looking", the answer hasn't really changed since the 2010s — it's our phones. (and to some extent, monitors if you account for the amount of time

Thanks for the excellent explanation, I didn't know it couldn't distinguish inhibition and excitation. It seems then that while oxygenation itself may be a good proxy for brain health, the way we measure it is unreliable

With such medications, besides behavioural changes, how are they able to measure outcomes without fMRIs? Like knowing whether neuron connections are amplified or not?

I might be oversimplifying, but isn't a lot of our neurological understanding about ADHD based on "fMRI shows decreased activity in the frontal cortex"? Or for that matter, our neurological understanding of a lot of mental he

Sad but necessary headline (if you don't get attention, no one clicks) that kinda obscures what the report marks as a solution - and no, it's NOT refusing to cure patients. I'm not even close to being a libertarian, but I fin

This is why I harp about platforms needing to become decentralised and un-censorable. I was hoping the fediverse could become something in that direction but I'd also had hopes for things like IPFS, Matrix (Element I think used to host

Hi, sorry for the unrelated reply, but I wanted to ask you about a comment you made 6months back about archiving Gamasutra posts. I came across it while searching HN for "gamasutra". I'd bookmarked a lot of Gamasutra article

Love how the 2004 catalogue captures that iMac G3 colour scheme and vibe (even though, by then, you'd already gotten the more iPod looking G4). When we try to remember how the design of a year "looks", it's surprisingly

Not a contribution but a question - how do one-person SaaS founders find customers in 2025? It feels like between most subreddits banning self promotion and LinkedIn being flooded by AI post and inboxes by AI cold calls, it should be harder

I imagine a new type of bluetick would emerge. There will always be those who can't distinguish between a tick emoji next to a username and the actual thing, but that's a UX problem. Something shot and verified on-app could get a
