Show HN: A Tool for Gathering Genuine Product Reviews from Reddit and YouTube
I wanted to share a side project I've been working on:

http://webpulse.today/review-waitlist

A tool that gathers genuine feedback on any product by analyzing discussions from Reddit and YouTube. It provides in-depth analysis results, please check examples below:

- Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses: http://webpulse.today/review-waitlist?u=Ray-Ban%20Meta%20Sma...

- Black Myth: Wukong: http://webpulse.today/review-waitlist?u=Black%20Myth:%20Wuko...

- Toyota GR86: http://webpulse.today/review-waitlist?u=Toyota%20GR86&f=y

- Llama 3.1: http://webpulse.today/review-waitlist?u=Llama%203.1&f=y

In today's world, it can be tough to find trustworthy reviews. Personally, I find myself relying more on Reddit and YouTube for authentic opinions, especially since search engines like Google are often cluttered with click-driven results and sensational headlines.

With that in mind, I built this tool to make it easier to access the kind of feedback I trust the most. It's still in beta, so please bear with me if it’s a bit slow or unstable. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts or feedback you might have—your input will help me improve it.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out!
On the other hand, this comment reminds me of a project I started working on midway through, in London many years ago, demolishing and rebuilding an operational train station under a 20 storey building.

My first site meeting with the contractors we were standing across the street and looking at the massive new columns they installed on the side street holding the transfer beams for the building above. And I am not saying anything looking, just looking at the structurals and back at the building and counting the columns. Not wanting to make a fool of myself, but there was no way of avoiding it, but there was one more column on the structural drawings than on the building.

So I mentioned it, and the head contractor goes pale and cancels the meeting. The next time I went to site there was an extra column. Redundancy is not just there for phobias and earthquakes.
Cool -- now I have a name for it. This seems critical to keep things truly secret.
Looks so cool! hella neat!

sell that data to dental insurance companies

I know of at least one startup that tried this the other way - started with a networked toothbrush and created a dental insurer that tracked how much you used it.

They've pivoted away from that to general benefits management (basically every flavor of job-connected insurance that isn't major medical), FWIW...

I was just thinking of dbdiagram.io. It's a fantastic tool that I use for documenting all my schemas.
The "free" Starlink service is calling 911. It is expected that mobile provider offers 911 service to everyone.

Starlink, in partnership with T-Mobile and others, will be offering service with messages and voice but no data. I don't think pricing has been announced, or if going to be add-on or free extra. My guess is that it will be cheap cause it isn't much demand, the emergency is the important part.

Also, there are multiple companies working on LTE from satellites. They are at disadvantage cause can't piggyback on lots of low satellite. But might be able to work with fewer, higher satellite. They might be able to partner with other providers.
Sports demonstrates precisely the opposite. Most experts that are very good at a subject are completely incorrect at describing what is actually going on.

There is a reason why we use cameras, computers and scientists for kinematics at the highest levels of sports.
That’s where I was headed - thanks!
An electric toothbrush is better than a regular toothbrush for the same reason that your dental hygienist doesn't use a regular toothbrush for your biyearly cleanings.

Why is it called a “newsfeed”? It’s a collection of opinion posts, personal notices, and ads. I’ve never seen any actual news there.

Thanks! Backend responds fast, Redis caching is a great suggestion.

Getting the display layer to show tabular data fast is the use case & you got it - lots of refreshing.
It's a thing in our household. Everyone washes hands before eating. When we go to restaurants, we order, then take turns washing hands. I guess it depends on where in the U.S.
Extra annoying given that any fixed size font will have the same column alignments. Might as well use the user’s built in fixed font.
> Dismissing a lot of legitimate studies related to Ivermectin. It turned out that they were showing that people who had parasites + COVID had a much better response to COVID if they took an anti-parasite drug

I read along from Australia during that period and I saw little evidence that people who knew what they were talking about "[Dismissed] a lot of legitimate studies related to Ivermectin".

It was clear cut at the time that meta-studies from "the Global South" showed that Ivermectin greatly improved M&M stats (recovery from infection, death rates) across the board for the cold, the flu, COVID, .. everything really.

No great suprise there, when parasites are killed off the host has more resources to fight off infection.

What was repeatedly dismissed, perhaps not always clearly, was the great leap being put about that Ivermectin would magically cure COVID in G20 coutries with little to no general parasite problems.

The big deal was that social media meta study that sourced 80% of COVID bullshit back to 12 "people" | groups that were all snake oil sales types peddling miracle cures on the vack of sowing fear doubt and uncertainty.

It was an endless sisyphean task pushing back against the amplification of bullshit in US social media.

That's true, autocracies usually just deploy the military domestically!
This is great, you’ve substantially added better detail to my question thank you.

State caching & two-way sync is exactly the challenge I’m targeting.

Backend optimization is straight-forward at this stage of dev (appreciate the suggestions though).

What I’m seeking to do is provide dense, tabular data with rapid refreshing as users make changes on the fly.

Any suggestions on how I might learn about managing the state model better?

Vue 3 + Pinia is my current front runner.
Honestly, Web3 is partially it now. If you remove the hype and buzzwords, you are left with a bunch of individually addressable contracts that can all be composed and integrated together seamlessly under a single web frontend.

I remember years ago doing something as simple as getting a coin onto an alt-chain was a 20 step process. Get the gas coin on the target chain, find the right contract address, bridge the assets over, do a bunch of conversions, finally to get the token on the chain I wanted.

These days its a single click. Different tools or companies have sprung up, and while they use the same exact contracts I would have manually interacted with before, they script them all together into one transaction to save time and gas fees. A simple UI to select destination chain and coin and it handles all the swaps, gas, bridging, etc needed.

You don't need permission and a lot of standards have developed to keep things running smooth.

It's not just coins and crypto either. No reason not to develop other things off the chain too.

I've been working on my own PIM (personal information management) suite and using web3 has been amazing. No need to worry about a server or a database. Just deploy my code to the chain and store all my data encrypted on chain as well. The altchains are extremely cheap and this storage is already backed up, replicated, distributed, and can be local with a self-ran node. I will never lose it and I can bootstrap my data from scratch anywhere in the world as long as I can sync the chain or reach an API. I have todo lists, notes, contact management, and more in the pipeline and I've never felt so safe about my infrastructure or data before.

> This is not much different from any interest bearing account. Should it be that you have to take all your money out of savings and ensure you earn nothing from it if you intend to offer it as collateral on a loan?

The difference is taxes. Interest on a savings account used as collateral is still taxed. Gains used as collateral in a loan are not taxed.

The parent poster is suggesting this loophole be closed - that the practice either be disallowed or considered realizing the gains for tax purposes.
I think the one thing people are missing about Apple is that they silently aren't a PC parts maker anymore. They make the high performance competitor to something like the Raspberry Pi, not a traditional PC. This bump is largely going to be keeping their system specs good enough for AI specs while also supporting someone's normal workload. It's a great upgrade if you're never going to use AI. Apple has made something special with tight specs that the average user doesn't fully understand yet.
I'm partial to Drafting Mono - https://indestructibletype.com/Drafting/ - for paragraph display.

This is super cool. I have to say this.
I love your concepts.would love to see it better.

BTW, do you open-sourced all of it or just parts.
Because I see your github repo does not update for a month.
can I run this local?
That’s the goal.

Use case is dense, tabular front ends where users need to rapidly update cells and have business logic applied on the fly.

So far backend is responsive, but front end is taking 10 seconds to handle refreshes.

This is browser intensive two way sync.

> The district court found in favor of Franklin. However, Apple appealed the ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit which, in a separate case decided three days after Franklin won at the lower level, had determined that both a program existing only in a written form unreadable to humans (e.g. object code) and one embedded on a ROM were protected by copyright. (See Williams Elec., Inc., v. Artic Int'l, Inc., 685 F.2d 870 (1982)). The Court of Appeals overturned the district court's ruling in Franklin by applying its holdings in Williams and going further to hold that operating systems were also copyrightable.
That's Pidgin not "Pidgen". And yes.
Fungibility means that one thing can be differentiated from another. In a basic sense, drops of water are fungible. Dollars are non-fungible, because 1 dollar is not equal to another cash dollar. That other cash dollar could be from a set of marked bills stolen during a drug buy, or it could be a rare serial number making it more valuable. It's a binary state of "is this thing completely indistinguishable from another of thing of its kind"

fwiw, the person you're responding to doesn't seem to be using the word in this manner.
It used to be that immigrants would simply invent a fake SSN in order to get a job. The e-verify system may have complicated that, but I imagine it's still pretty much the same for smaller businesses. And especially agricultural work, meat processing plants, etc. All the businesses that rely on undocumented labor.

So the immigrants are paying into the SS/medicare system, but they don't receive any of the benefits.

I think the solution to the housing problem is to increase supply. Not to try to prevent a whole group of people from being able to buy homes.

On C64 the signs of puberty were usage of words like “lamer”, “loser/looser”

Loser vs looser was especially painful. “Haha, we know it’s loser but looser sounds cooler.” A lame cover up, somewhat contradicting the whole meaning.

90% of the scroll texts were about contrived stories of displaying superiority over lamers and losers.

The folks from Finland appeared to be a bit over the top with references to their weight lifting careers to appear like some sort of brutal fighting machine.

IBM Plex Mono is pretty good, with a reasonable license. It's on Google Fonts, and the repo is here: https://github.com/IBM/plex
I have discovered a trick for meetings. Aside from one or two half hour meetings that I consider useful I mostly just say “maybe” to the rest and then hardly ever go to them. That way I have the requisite “brick wall” calendar, so I appear to be “busy”, but I also get to do actual work. Depending on where you work and your seniority this may or may not work for you, but it’s worth a try. I learned this trick some 15 years ago when the only way I could get anything done was by doing it after hours, from home. That gets old pretty quick.
Interesting! No mention of UDP, or the application being run, or the GPU/TPUs on the nodes, so it'll have to be a mystery as to how much bang for their buck they're getting with this particular bit of work.

What's disappointing is that it's impossible to do a new protocol on the Internet because of all the middleware boxes that drop packets that aren't IMCP or TCP or UDP.

They really should have run the benchmarks not only in Docker containers but also uncontainerized (as well as one or two KVM VM configurations) as baseline to approximate the overhead imposed by the Docker runtime itself. That would have made the article actually interesting.

Would also have been interesting to compare different runtimes (podman,crun,runc) and drivers.

I hope the authors follow up with a more fleshed out version because the chosen benchmarks and setup could make for some interesting results with some more rigorous methodology and analysis.

>No, I'm talking about writing an OS kernel, compiler, math library, networking stack, CAD software, simulators, etc

Oooh. I see what you're saying. But these people aren't called software engineers either. They're called "programmers".

>These are engineering heavy challenges and absolutely software engineering. This is exactly what I'm talking about... no one sees the invisible software that rarely ever fails. Yeah, petsmart.com has errors, but it's incredibly unlikely it's due to a routing stack software failure (failure, not misconfiguration).

Software engineering is about solving problems. For example the problem of attention was solved by people on tik tok. Or the modern dating problem was solved by people who work on tinder. These are what I term "real" engineering problems. Something like CAD software or OS's are more ephemeral stuff that nobody ever thinks about so these kinds of things relegated to programmers or coders.
> but of the composers who haven't moved to Dorico by now, they're probably very set in their ways. So I'm not sure "very tiny handful" is accurate.

Fair point, maybe more people will be caught than I think. I do know a composer that hasn’t moved yet, and he is pretty set in his ways.

On the other hand, it’s also possible that the whole reason Finale is shutting down is because the user base is already too small. And, even people set in their ways are now being notified that Finale is going away, which is news, so a lot of the people still left will certainly move before the year is out, right? We’re both speculating on how many will be left and whether we can subjectively call that many or few, but I don’t think it’s a stretch to estimate those still left in a year from now will not be the majority of the user base they had last week.

I agree with you that suggesting people can continue to run Finale is a weak argument. If you look, you might notice I’ve actually argued that it’s pretty unrealistic for most people and probably not going to work for long. I only corrected people who’ve incorrectly claimed or implied they would lose any and all access, and I only did that because that’s what the Finale FAQ says and I assume people are getting angry before reading and understanding the entire situation. People have a year to install Finale on a new computer, and if it’s really super important they can setup a machine that won’t get upgrades or other applications on it, and Finale might continue to work for longer than a year. That’s still unrealistic and I neither expect nor encourage it, but it is an option, should someone sufficiently motivated want to take it. Seems better to me to take the Dorico discount or explore MuseScore or Sibelius or something else and not waste time wishing Finale would continue to run.

In the early 90s, Geoworks Ensemble filtered through my local teenager PC scene. The more curious among us tried it out. The experience was smooth and polished enough, and just different enough, that we went back a few times. Running Geoworks for weeks at a time.

But ultimately the system was relatively closed and limiting, there was nowhere to go with it once you got sick of the range it offered. From the perspective of young home enthusiasts at the time, anyway.

Meanwhile DOS (and even Windows) -based development was undergoing a period of extremely rapid iterative changes and extensions. It was impossible to stay away from that for long. It's where all the action was.

Besides simple rules the other requirement is Altruism. Everyone in the colony takes care of the children of one queen.

Can you imagine the chimp troupe doing any such thing? Siblings will kill each other and their kids rather than do that.

People think its related to Ants being haplodiploid.

Altruism in large social groups is something chimps haven't worked out yet. Which is why we have the MIL complex and war.

So if you are an algo engineer check out Haplodiploidy.

This is false. Toll roads are "pay for use". Capital gains tax is, objectively, not "pay for use".

> Anyone with more than 100M in assets has used the system a shit ton

There's zero evidence that supports a strong correlation between how many assets someone has and how much value they've obtained from government services. This is just entirely fabricated.

...which they've already actually paid through taxes on profits.

This bundle of falsehoods is just a thin facade around the emotional plea that "someone having more money than me is bad, and I should get some of it".

Lightning has reached down from 10,000ft to strike the ground, do not make the mistake that it cares about anything humanity has built. Even with a lightning rod/abatement system, its probabilities and 'preferred paths.'

Plus, we really don't know all that much about lightning. Things like "ball lightning" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning) seem insane/impossible, but theres too many reports from everywhere on earth that go back hundreds of years- enough of them from reliable sources that its just "unexplained."
