5041us··on Ask HN: Best Ad-Free iOS Apps?
GymBook, Seconds & WorkOutdoors are good fitness apps that also work really well with the apple watch - each of these apps offers pro options without the need for a subscription.

For those who enjoy reading sf short stories and wonder about the implications of recording one's entire life, I can recommend the remarkable short story 'The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling' by Ted Chiang.
5041us··on Free database of 4,000+ AI tools
I'm getting a familiar vibe, similar to when I used to browse through one of those 100-in-1 Gameboy Color game cartridges.

Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morality might not be complicated to read. And while all this stuff about good and evil is valuable context to understand religion, all the other slave morality babble feels pretty close to a YoutTube rant video.

> Note-taking/drawing with the Pencil is good, but is it better than a $2 pen and notepad? Not really.

Creating notes is not easy and needs practice. Yes, a pencil and notepad is better. But without the ability and skill to create structured notes and illustrations, it will also be frustrating to work with these if they're on paper.

5041us··on Ask HN: Does this GPT-4 response suggest it has emergent intelligence?
there is a pattern - the response is this pattern painted in the style of your question. educated guess: the internet is full with emergent intelligence questions, maybe even some of the "time traveller riddle" type.

With these "is chatgpt intelligent" threads it's interessting to see whos where on the anthropomorphization spectrum.

5041us··on Show HN: Mimosa – Collaborative brainstorming with AI suggestions
Looks nice, but I don't understand how brainstorming should work together with AI. Maybe it's more useful later on while categorizing? I noticed this also in the promo for Notion AI. How is the command „Brainstorm 5 ways to …“ still brainstorming? Does anyone already use AI for creative thinking and can give insights in which cases it's useful?

But is it Art?
5041us··on Show HN: I built an After Effects for dummies
You are probably familiar with crello and canva. Alot of companies use these tools.

If your tool would have keyframes and a bezier editor (like cubic-bezier.com) I would instantly migrate to your tool.

I guess for some customers stock footage is also important - but there you could just partner up with istock etc.

Other things I would hope to see in such a SaaS for marketing motion graphics is: - Motion Blur - gradient with multiple points - basic css styles (dropshadow etc)

5041us··on Ask HN: An alternative to IMDB scores, whats a better way to pick movies?
letterboxd.com - The score is a good reference, but you will also find really good lists from users with the same taste as yours.
