Evidence from Polymarket"]]>The comment is the abstract of the paper verbatim. This is one of the authors posting their paper on HN, sharing their data, and answering questions. This not just normal and respectable behaviour, it's really cool.

In the absence of any actual journalism happening here, my assumption is this is a random Tiktoker making up a story for likes.

The referenced tweet is a crypto account. Zero effort to verify the claim or the source, which itself provides no verifiable details. I'd love to hear if anyone thinks https://www.tiktok.com/@honeycoolcat is a credible source.

From my testing:

- JPEG with HDR gain map is not supported

- AVIF and JXL HDR files look fine on initial export, but do not survive being sent anywhere from the Photo Library.

So far I haven’t found a way to export an HDR file from Lightroom and then share it with anyone, iOS or Android.

Add an app-specific option if you must, but I’d love if these things just worked by default.
