While producthunt is great for discovering new products, I've found it challenging to come across apps that truly make us exclaim "wow". That's why I've taken the initiative to create Fndx, a newsletter where I share the best apps I've personally discovered through in-depth exploration.
These apps are submitted by users, and we curate 1-3 top recommendations for each topic.

If you're interested, feel free to email us with your product recommendations. Alternatively, you can subscribe to our newsletter to stay up-to-date with our latest findings!
I’m often confused over claims on the reasoning capabilities. It is often mentioned in debates as a clear and undeniable issue with current LLM’s. So since this claim can be made, where are said tests about reasoning skills that GPT-4 fails?

If it’s a debate on the illusion of reasoning, I’d be careful how I step here, because it’s been found these things probably work so well because the human brain is also a biological real-time prediction machine and “just” guessing too: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-brain-guesses...
Once you meet enough people you realize DUI has nothing to do with driving ability.

One of the most to-the-book buddies I know is also the worst driver I know. He once had a gnarly accident where he flipped his car a few times because he had to look at his GPS briefly. I hate sitting in his car. He insists on always being the driver too because you can tell he finds driving overwhelming but thinks he’s actually good at it. Lol.

I have another buddy who does have a past DUI. He’s extremely coordinated and I have never felt unsafe in his car.

At the end of the day, if I had to choose someone to suspend their license forever, it would be my first buddy. I don’t care if he has a clean record. He simply was not gifted hand-eye coordination and is already a menace while sober.
What does "social" mean in this context?

I.e. it means that now the task can be tackled by multiple people or organizations, that this is desirable, or that it should be?
I've been following the project for a long time but we still need to package the software by ourselves.
And no mention of nuclear tbm's, even though NTBM's were remarkably fast and fixed many of the issues with traditional tbm's...
I'm not sure why you didn't include the rest of the sentence, which made it clear that I was making a very specific comparison to password + phishable forms of 2FA. I was very clearly not making a blanket statement.

Here's the full context again:

passkeys are significantly more secure than the most widely-used/most popular forms of 2FA, because the most popular forms of 2FA are TOTP and SMS, and both are subject to phishing attacks.

>The D in STRIDE is for denial of service. Passkeys are much worse on this axis than any other solution. You need to evaluate for the specific combination (P,A) how much this matters vs. other criteria.

How are passkeys (really, WebAuthn credentials in general) any worse in terms of denial-of-service attacks than passwords?

I think you're trying to make a point about specific passkey/password managers, rather than the actual credentials themselves. Is that accurate?
I used to use FLAC in my phone, but now I have over two terabytes of music in my Plex server, so I just stream it as OPUS which works great for this.
Log seems like a strong reason to finally switch from Android to iPhone if you're a photography/filmmaking enthusiast like myself. The ecosystem is so much more mature and the gap seems to be growing not shrinking.

Android has Raw Video with MotionCam which also produces insanely good results¹ (even better than iPhone's ProRes video), but everything else just sucks.

> AAC and other newer audio codecs can produce better quality than MP3, but the difference is only significant at low bitrates

AFAIR this is not correct (it's based on the Opus marketing page). In the last decade, interest in transparent bitrates (192+ kb) has faded, so it's hard to find listening tests.

A few blind tests on the Hydrogenaudio page¹ report MP3 to be inferior to AAC at 192 kbps. A research reports² that the quality is the same (although if I understand correctly, looking at one analysis, results of noise/distortion are inconsistent, e.g. WAV being in some cases noisier/more distorted than MP3³). The same research references another research that find MP3 to be transparent at bitrates >= 256 Kbps.

Something I remember is that MP3 spends a disproportionate amount of storage in order to encode frequencies > 16 Khz. This may explain why in some tests, it performs worse in mid-high bitrates (160/192 Kbps), although I don't know the technical details.

I only recently started switching to FLAC, because I always felt space-constrained ;) At some point, I’ll have to redownload all those Bandcamp .ogg Albums.
I imagine some demographic groups are probably more lucrative to advertise to, for various reasons (e.g., they have more money to spend, tend to spend more, etc.). So the less-lucrative demographics will accordingly be cheaper, which would appear to be a "discount".

To go back to old-fashioned on-air TV, the ad slots after midnight were, I'm sure, much cheaper than the ones during prime-time.
That's a 7 and a half hour video. Is there any particular piece of it that's relevant, or "just watch the whole thing"? ;)

It was THREE YEARS before I figured out “Luas” was not only a pronounceable acronym, but it meant “quick” or something like it.

But yes. Listening to Radio Na Life (best radio in Dublin, and pretty much best radio I ever listened to) it doesn’t sound effortless to speak. And I completely agree the way to inject life in the language is via the Gaelscoil system.

Also, much like Hungarian, an excellent language to keep secrets.
The people who know 'how to use Copilot well' are the ones using it just for boilerplate.
For almost any other code requiring some logic, copilot is useless.
More than that, who owns the code produced by copilot, you or github/microsoft ?
We had nuclear tbm's in the early 70's, but nobody thought to develop them further than a few prototypes.

They worked though, and were very fast for their time, still quite fast even by today's standards.

That sounds like a good litmus test. Do you have a specific example you've tried?

My opinion is it isn't binary, rather it's a scale. Your example is a point on the scale higher than what it is now.

But perhaps that's too liberal a definition of "reasoning" , no idea.

We seem to move the goalposts on what constitutes human level intelligence as we discover the various capabilities exhibited in the animal kingdom. I wonder if it is/will be the same with AI
Rich vs. King: The Founder's Dilemma
This is a slightly off topic response as well, but some Android phones are currently capable of shooting RAW video in 12MP, sometimes at 60fps (more than 4K 8.3MP). Google shot a music video [1] (unfortunately only available in 1080p) on the Pixel 7 Pro using a third party app called MotionCam Pro. The app shoots RAW video which can be imported into DaVinci Resolve or similar, or rendered to a mp4 in-app with any log profile you prefer optionally, and has no processing applied.

According to the developer of something called AMVR [2], the quality obtainable is much higher than that of even the aforementioned log files from iOS.

I asked whether it would be feasible to shoot DNG on iOS as video and was told that iOS lacks a camera API that is performant enough, resulting in several fps only. I haven't personally tested it though, so maybe this could be a fun project.

In my opinion yes, ECC should be standard.

ECC is expensive just because Intel had a monopoly over the server segment, and unilaterally forced desktop not to use ECC.

Otherwise people would use desktop computers as servers, and that would reduce profits.

At work, my workstation Desktop computer has ECC. The colleague's sitting next to me has on their screen sometimes kernel warnings of ECC errors.

And cases of bit flips happen every day, that's why some problems are solved by just restarting your computer or the software. I'd argue that many times we blame software bugs on pure hardware bit flips.

Here's a story of a variable name bit flip: https://alexbakker.me/post/did-cosmic-rays-break-my-linux-bu...

Bit flips usually affect operating system stuff, here's another story: https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/attack-of-the-cosmic-ray...

Hey thanks for trying Spacedrive! The bug you're experiencing is known when browsing before adding a "Location". We index Locations ahead of time to generate a cache that makes browsing super fast, Spacedrive is, contrary to some replies here, designed for big data, we cache and virtualize everything.

Next update we'll fix the bug browsing non-locations, as those who open the app tend to try browsing first, before adding as a location it seems. It's alpha software so I hope you give us time to iron it all out!
I'm not sure why you're dragging Product Hunt's name in as a comparison seeing as how your site is newsletter-format, something that most people simply won't enjoy subscribing to. There is no example email, either.

Look at the picture of the dog: some of its fur is overexposed, and you can’t get the values back. A logarithmic scale means you lose less detail at the extremes (bright and dark), so the log picture isn’t overexposed.
The article is slightly misleading here.

The 4k60 ProRes mode is not available for shooting on the 128gb model until an external drive is added, but for any larger capacity iPhone Pro, the mode is available for shooting without the external drive. This doesn't affect the Pro Max as that isn't available in a 128gb configuration.

Notably, a similar limitation existed with the iPhone 14 Pro using 4k30FPS, at the time the reasoning was that it simply fills the device too quickly to be useful.

> people go, "you have to think of the consumers. Consumers don't use those features, because consumers are stupid. I can't see why anyone would ever add/keep a feature that's not going to be used by those consumers."

Well, I don't think "people" generally do that. It's nothing to do with stupidity; just lack of need and interest.

> The comment I replied to didn't go nearly that far

Not just "didn't go that far", it wasn't anything to do with that. It was just articulating pleasant surprise.

If I were to return this thread to its objective origin, I would agree that if you're selling a mass-market device, it's surprising to cater to a fractional percentage of that user base. I don't see how that's contentious.
Halide has several modes, one of which is giving you the full unadulterated RAW, and optionally doing in-app jpeg conversion with less offensive processing. These photos have more noise due to the limitations of the sensor.

Halide, like the official camera app, can also shoot ProRAW but ProRAW is not totally RAW, it has been processed with the frame stacking to reduce noise, but introduces sharpening artifacts.

Ask HN: What are some tools (new and old) in the VC tech stack?
Seems like every platform except Linux has this mostly solved. But here I am, seeing a disk IO error, and backing up with a new app(deja dup), because back in time(which I was using before) broke itself at some point recently.

I'm convinced shared DLL-like objects should not ideally not exist, except as OS provided things, and plugins that only depend on OS provided things. If you need more, you're either wheel reinventing unnecessary stuff, or the OS is missing something.

I think that I might be going to switch to Vanilla Ubuntu rather shortly and go all in on snaps!

Not OP but what you’re saying is absolutely true.

But first someone has to invent it. Nobody’s gonna spend a few thousand or million dollars to invent something unless they get their money and more back, so that’s the point of patents.

And if they patent something and don’t capitalize on it enough, that’s their loss, because they had to detail their invention in their patent application and that’s public information. Patents last only 20 years and for most industries, that’s not very long.

(That said, I think software patents are a different beast. Because 20 years in software engineering is like 100 years in civil engineering, for example, since software engineering is like a few thousand years younger discipline than civil.)
I thought hydrogen was still difficult to handle and store. Is that information out of date?
This was a huge problem even for professionals at one point - there was a time starting a bit before 2010 where more cameras started to switch from doing all the process in camera to raw and log recording, and people didn't understand how to work with it, properly expose it, etc.

I remember for example with RED's first cinema camera, seeing people do shootouts (camera comparisons) where they'd record and compare the low-quality, partially decoded monitor output that didn't have a proper LUT applied, to HD cameras that did all in-camera processing. Later cameras could do all the 4K processing and apply proper LUTs in the hardware in real-time, but earlier ones didn't have the processing power, you had to do it all in post. People just didn't get it, and it worried people when things come out all washed out before applying any kind of LUT.

Crazy some of this is trickling down into phones.

There's actually a public Java SDK module, javax.compiler, which Java compiler implementations (including ECJ) are supposed to use, so users can call them via Service Provider Interface.

In Java 8, Oracle called javac's AST parser code the "Compiler Tree API", but that's now degraded to mere implementaton-specifics of the internal "jdk.compiler" module.
React Tech Stack for Indie Hackers in 2023
React is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It is known for its declarative programming style, which makes it easy to create complex UIs with reusable components. React is also very fast and efficient, making it a good choice for building web applications that need to be responsive and scalable.

If you are an indie hacker who is using React to build your product, it is important to choose a tech stack that is well-suited to your needs. You need a tech stack that is easy to learn and use, but also powerful enough to support your product as it grows.

Here is a list of the best React tech stack for indie hackers in 2023: https://www.reactremotejobs.com/the-best-react-tech-stack-fo...

Eh, at least I had periods over the last 15 years where I had a lot of free time and could've done a lot of things I always wanted to do, but just about got some basic things done. Nothing of the scale of some of Tom's projects. He says he's not working on that stuff constantly, but still, he always eventually gets back to these things and finishes them. That's pretty impressive to me regardless of free time.
It replaces the massive amounts of coal that is used. It changes from (simplifying)

2 Fe2O3 + 3 C → 4 Fe + 3 CO2

to

Fe2O3 + 6 H2 → 2 Fe + 3 H2O

At the moment emissions are: 1.4 kg CO2 per kg of steel produced. And westernized countries will use 321 kg of steel per capita per year.

So switching to hydrogen could save about 500kg of CO2 per capita. Carbon capture of the fumes could help alleviate some 30% of that. Direct air capture is just not feasible, or wayy to expensive compared to just using H2.

In any case, even with H2; 321 kg of steel per capita will have to be reduced (main uses: construction, transport, industry, pipes, machines, weapons)
I don't think it's valuable to learn what different groups believe and rely on that for your own understanding.

You can get a DUI in Germany for crossing a red light on foot while drunk - even lose your license.

But luckily criminal records are not public in Germany so its not a life sentence.
It still blows my mind that so many devices depend on a library largely written by a single person. The level of pressure must be insane and it shows in this bit:

"Reading the code now it is impossible not to see the bug. Yes, it truly aches having to accept the fact that I did this mistake without noticing and that the flaw then remained undiscovered in code for 1315 days. I apologize. I am but a human."

If Daniel happens to read this, thanks for your hard work, and I really don't think any apology is necessary. After all, the source was right there for any of us to read and review.
Keyword/labeled arguments are also much more robust against API changes breaking silently.

Adding on to this, newer iPhones have a ProRAW feature. Various tech youtubers have documented ways to create a shortcut in the Shortcuts app to automatically convert them to HEIF or JPEG, which might impose slightly less processing.

Similarly, ProRAW photos imported to Apple Photos on Mac can be reduced in processing by clicking Edit Photo, and then hitting Save Changes without necessarily changing any settings (or just changing something inconsequential would work too). Doing editing forces the Photos app to discard the preprocessed image embedded in the ProRAW and replaces it with a software processed version which I find slightly more natural. However, ProRAW is still processed by the phone, so you need to download a third party app and shoot classic non pro RAW (then use the same conversion shortcut maybe) on top of it.

This seems like a real problem for older astronauts who will never be able to gain that muscle back.

Muscle mass is so vital for long term health. 70-year-olds confined to bed rest for just two weeks have been observed to lose significant muscle mass that they most likely will never get back.

Obviously most astronauts are younger than 70. But they're also losing a lot more muscle mass and bone density.

I think it's a metalepsis [0] on "poison tongue" which is a Biblical reference for slander/libel:

Quoth the ChatGPT:

> The term “poison tongue” is often used to describe someone who speaks in a way that is hurtful, malicious, or deceitful. It is a metaphorical expression that refers to the power of words to cause harm and pain. The Bible, in James 3:8, describes the tongue as “a restless evil, full of deadly poison” [1]. The phrase “poison tongue” can also be used to describe someone who is critical or judgmental of others [2].

> In modern usage, the term “poison tongue” is often associated with gossip and slander. It can refer to someone who spreads rumors or speaks ill of others behind their backs [3].
