As someone who worked at a startup that grew to a significant size in the "Nutraceuticals" industry (the fancy name for supplements), I can tell you that the FDA has nearly zero regulation or monitoring of supplements.

I'll omit brand names here, but I can tell you some sketchy stuff happens in supplement manufacturing all the time. During the ~6 years I worked there, only one letter came from the FDA after a whistleblower at a competitor's company came forward. The FDA sent a warning letter out to several of the large competitors in the industry to "don't do it or else" and never followed up again. The company that got in trouble got a few hundred thousand dollar fine for using mislabeled and toxic ingredients. They had one follow up inspection about 6 months after the warning and that was the end of it. For comparison that company was making ~$600M a year at the time of the fine and is now making $1B+. We carried on and never heard from the FDA again despite being equally guilty in our own company.

The guilt is what eventually led me away from the cash cow, where I went on an 18 month sabbatical to get away from any corporate greed for a little bit. I legitimately had nightmares that I would be complicity guilty of several crimes if I stayed there long enough.

I promise you, there is no oversight in supplements. There are a handful of posted guidelines. If a whistleblower comes forward the FDA might react to that single case, but they are so understaffed; the team that manages nutriceuticals is marked in the "tens" of people, not the thousands dedicated to proper medical equipment and medicines.
The reason why I am still working on uxwizz.com and maintaining the current pricing model (source-available, paid license, yearly updates), is that it allows me to focus on making self-hosting as easy as possible and work on creating tools to reduce the time it takes to set up and maintain the platform. Most other tools, which provide a cloud offering, have no incentive in making self-hosting easier, as that would lead to their business/cloud offering losing money.
"Non premium" EV would still have to handle the "we have 1000km of highway to do once a year on a charge, and we won't buy the car until it does". Which also translates as "non premium has to be as expensive as premium".

We were supposed / dearly wishing to have solved that by now, thanks to all the "battery breakthroughs" that made it to the front page of HN in the last decade.

Won't prevent us from waiting, though...
They were economic failures relative to fossil fuel powered ships - not relative to green fuels powered ships.

Again, if you're going to say that civilian nuclear maritime propulsion doesn't exist, because there have only been 7 such ships built by four different countries then green fuels powered cargo ships don't exist either. Again, how many cargo ships have been powered by green fuels? How many have operated for more than a decade?
Would be fine if courts were sufficiently funded such that adjudication happened within weeks.
Theoretically only one 40gb file would be needed. AFAICT almost every odd number is not even (I cannot say "all" bc I have not checked every integer yet).
>Allow me top clarify a few things:

It was your story written by you on how you interact with engineers. I'm not the one you should be clarifying things to.

edit: The read I get is that a number of engineers fundamentally disagree with the value of your approach. As they're the ones who should be getting value from it based on your clarification that's a very bad sign.

>The question I’ve been wondering lately is, “why don’t most people I meet have personal websites?”

Isn't it obvious? It's simply easier to use a social media platform that makes it easy to publish without having to know how to set up a server or mess with frameworks or code, and that makes it more likely that people will read what you have to say. The utility of personal websites has been replaced by services which solve both the problems of ease of publishing and ease of discovery and networking.
They caved because they were afraid that without Netflix they would lose market share but then they lost market share anyways. In the alternate universe where they didn't cave users mounted a pressure campaign against Netflix for blocking Firefox and that got the FTC's attention and Netflix was the one that caved .
> Take Reddit and Hacker News as a fitting analogy

In so many ways they are not, but I see why you come to this conclusion. Some overlap in users.

To me opensource is "common good" stuff, HN and Reddit are "us playing on some one else's computer+software".

All options have integrations, gits, fzf's, etc. And AI is not just "another black box", it's going to save you a lot of typing very soon. This is good: more time for thinking and crafting; less time for boilerplate-y stuff.
This reminds me of an mp3 CD player I had. I don't remember if the feature was called shuffle or random, but it played the same sequence of tracks every time. I could only fully enjoy it once per CD.
I mean, I understand the attractiveness, but it's a super-niche feature that wouldn't really move the needle.

The real problem, imho, is the constant glitching on Google properties like Gmail and YouTube. Even if they were really "accidental" (big if), they impact massive amounts of users in their everyday lives, and it takes very little to lose a user forever.

Maybe FF should launch a GMail competitor, and/or promote alternatives to any Google property.

Yeah... | is a pipe (shell) or an "or" (programming) symbol. Seeing it in the code to indicate a comment just rubs me the wrong way. It's almost as if it was chosen just to be different.
Cars and planes took different paths to reliable engines. Cars made new, better, reliable engines. Planes took the old engines and made them super reliable. The plane approach does require a lot more maintenance and certification.

Also, planes use engines differently. They basically run flat out for hours, while cars only use peak power when accelerating.

I still don't understand, I'm afraid. What I'm confused about is what the tangible difference between OSS and SAMS is. It seems to me that everything in your example could be done with an appropriate OSS license.

What is the unique thing that SAMS is bringing into play? Is it just another OSS license variant? If so, that would be the answer to my question. :)
Also incorrect.

There was quite a bit of nuclear built. For example France nuclearized its electricity grid.

In the last 20 years, policy shifted away from nuclear and there was very little built.

This hasn’t been in dispute in the least bit.

Just now we have witnessed a policy shift by most countries where nuclear is or was relevant back towards nuclear.

To argue that this policy shift hasn’t happened because we didn’t see its effects in the last 20 years seems weird, unless there was some important time travel news I missed.

To argue that the policy shift hasn’t happened because we haven’t seen new nuclear plants pop up since the few weeks or months since the shifts happened and were announced is also…odd.

And you seem to be under this impression that for nuclear to be built up, renewables must somehow be reduced.

This is simply not the case.
"Another possibility is that developer efficiency improves so much that the code written 10 years ago is easier to completely rewrite today, than it is to maintain and extend."

This seems completely false to me and I'm curious what has caused you to believe this as I'm a fairly imaginative and creative person yet I cannot imagine a set of circumstance that would lead someone to this conclusion.

In other words, I disagree so very strongly with that statement that I wanted to engage rather than just downvote. (I didn't btw).

I agree with your first statement though and I don't think the op is saying only make cold-blooded projects.

Ask HN: Is there any advances in AI-specific communication protocols/tools?
Currently ChatGPT and other LLMs interact with the internet predominantly through conventional methods, such as querying search engines like Bing and analyzing the results. At the moment they are just mimicking human behaviour.

I'm wondering if anyone is aware of any ongoing work in communication protocols or tools tailored specifically for AI use?

For example, I imagine a search engine optimized for AI interactions (whatever those may be) rather than human usage.
There are a couple of reasons.

First, hearing aids are, unfortunately, not covered by most Americans' health insurance. I'm completely deaf in one ear, and in the other ear I'm profoundly deaf (basically as deaf as you can get without being totally deaf). An OTC hearing aid is simply not powerful enough to help me. I have to go to an audiologist, and as another poster said, these kinds of hearing aids routinely run into $3000-5000 range PER AID. If I needed it for both ears, I could be out 6-10 grand alone. And no insurance I've ever had will cover it.

Second, and probably the more relevant reason, is that most people who need hearing aids are people who have had "normal" hearing their entire lives, and have simply noticed some degradation of hearing over time. They've gone their entire lives without having something in their ear all day long. Now they go get a hearing aid, they put it in their ear, and you know what? It's uncomfortable.

It's not fun. It's annoying. Your ear sweats. You don't realize it if you don't wear hearing aids, but your ear sweats. Your hearing aid squishes around. It feels like something's stuck in your ear -- because it is!

When your jaw moves, you can sometimes hear it. You can hear yourself eat. Crunchy food is louder than anything else.

For someone who hasn't had to deal with it their entire lives like I have, it's awful. It's not a pleasant experience. And why should you wear something uncomfortable like that when you can just turn the TV up as loud as it goes?

It's a real problem, and I'm not sure there's a true way out of it.

That said... the advances in hearing aid technology in the last 25 years are astounding. They used to just be microphones that amplified noise. Then in the late 90s, they introduced digital hearing aids. In the mid-teens, they introduced Bluetooth integration. I now don't need to wear clunky headphones -- I can stream directly from my iPhone or computer straight to my hearing aid with no loss in fidelity of sound! It's quite frankly incredible.

My audiologist sent me an email last week because the newer models are now water-proof. Up until now, I've had to take my hearing aid out to shower, to go outside in the rain, to swim. Now? I can do all of those things and actually hear. Showering with my partner might actually be sexy instead of silent. Swimming with friends might become a social activity instead of me having to choose between sitting outside the pool with my hearing aid on and participating in conversation, or getting into the pool with my hearing aid out and being unable hear anything.

I'm sure soon enough they'll introduce some other really clever technology. Maybe direct integrations with an AI assistant. Maybe AI-powered translation software a la the babel fish of Hitchhiker's Guide fame. Who knows? The sky's the limit.

But for now? For OTC stuff? For Grandma and Grandpa who can't hear the TV? They aren't going to buy it, because it's uncomfortable, it's expensive, and they'd have to admit to everyone around them that they're less than they were before. It's sad.

NYT/OpenAI lawsuit misunderstands how LLMs work
I used it from when it was Phoenix until 2011 or so.

I left because it was a lot worse than my main two other options on MacOS at the time, and they’d not followed through on the things that made me like it when I adopted it, so I hadn’t really loved it since late 1.x or early 2.x.

The Times almost certainly wants its own LLM. I could see them striking a consortium agreement with other newspapers more easily than OpenAI.
I wrote a post about this recently[0]. I took it slow with actually heavily adopting AI tools. Played around a lot and stayed up to date, but was in no hurry to pay for or rely on anything. But over time as the quality of available tooling began to meet my expectations, I've adopted following: GPT Plus, GH Copilot, Cursor Pro, and (intermittently) Elevenlabs.

It's a tactic that's been abused by third-party sellers for a long time now. They list a product, organize a bunch of paid-for 5-star reviews on another platform (you buy the product, submit a 5-star review, and they refund you the purchase cost, so you get the item for free), and then once all those 5-star reviews are in place, they eventually re-use the product page for another item entirely.

It baffles me that Amazon's item listing system ever allowed this in the first place.
Sorry. This does not seem like an odd retort to me. Just because you are opposed to the general idea does not make it easy :)

From your comments, it seems like you have little exposure to the actual time and effort spent in the patent process. And that is okay!
Again, we have four different countries that built civilian nuclear powered cargo ships. I don't doubt that designing maritime nuclear power for these ships was challenging. But it has already been done. The technology already does exist. The NS Savannah, Otto Hahn, and the Mutsu all used low enriched uranium in their reactors (as opposed to the highly enriched uranium used in military reactors). That's the main challenge in adapting nuclear power to civilian use, and it's already been solved.

By comparison, how many green fuel powered cargo ships have been in operation for over a decade? If hundreds of nuclear powered vessels operated for over half a century is too immature, then green fuel powered ships are even less mature that nuclear maritime propulsion.
That's the biggest Amazon scam that Amazon itself allows and encourages (indirectly). In my experience, most inexpensive items from unknown brands have transferred reviews.

Airpods are not hearing aid replacements (yet). Hearing aids are specifically designed to compensate for loss, not simply to filter out background noise and boost voices. Hearing aids frequently need an audiologist to tune them to get maximum value out of them. In fact, AirPods might actually make hearing worse for those with hearing loss!
The seller often swaps the product description for some other product, capitalizing on the reputation of the first to sell the second.
I think the novel you're referring to is 'Timescape', and it was written by Gregory Benford. From what I remember (and it's been 20 years at least since I read it), it's quite a bleak story.

Agreed that they should be held accountable for creating a platform that elevates these scam supplements to the same level as Apple, GE, Google, GNC, etc. I know some people might argue that Amazon shouldn't be responsible for the products that are listed on its site but I think we can just as easily say Amazon shouldn't be able to offer supplements/vitamins if they can't stand by their safety.

All of this is even more troubling when you consider their purchase of One Medical. So my Amazon doctor tells me to ingest more zinc but buying zinc from Amazon might not actually have zinc in it?

Yes a 3-5 min UHPLC/MS (and even a UHPLC/UV which is cheaper) can tell you that. Cost of experiment? $10 (not including human cost) Cost of equipment $200k-$400k for this kind of things.
One machine and one operator can analyze hundreds of samples a day (once the sample is ready you don't have to stay in front it is fully automated).

For just detecting Meth there are much faster and cheaper methods. But the one I am talking about has the advantage to also allow for detection of other things like steroids (extremely common in supplements), opioids (same) etc

The only thing it will not work well for is anything inorganic, so if they put lead or chrome salts you will not see them and really small (solvents for example) and really large (proteins, large sugars etc)

Advanced Swift Actors: Re-Entrancy and Interleaving
There have been articles about it, I don’t remember the details, but it is an exploit stemming from wanting the review to be about the product instead of the vendor, and the process of combining reviews from different listings of the same product.

The fact that the reviews are not limited to a single vendor is a major part of the overall problem.
At least Walmart lets you easily filter search results for only things sold by Walmart itself. That makes it fine by me to be both a seller and marketplace. Amazon does not make such filtering easy at all.
You'd be surprised to find how many people have the same stance as you, it's nowhere near a <1-3% view indicating a psyop has occurred using this heuristic.
For the sake of argument, let’s say that OpenAI thought it had the rights to process the NYT articles and even display them in part, for the same reasons, fair use or otherwise, that Google can process articles and display snippets of same in its News product, and/or for the same reasons that Google can process books and display excerpts in its Books product. Just like Google in those cases, I would not be surprised to find Google/OpenAI on the receiving end of a lawsuit from rights holders claiming violations of their copyright or IP rights. However, I side with Google then and OpenAI now, as I find both use cases to be fair use, as the LinkedIn case has shown that scraping is fair use. NYT is crying foul because users/consumers of its content archive have derived unforeseen value from said archive and under fair use terms, so NYT has no way to compel OpenAI to negotiate a licensing deal under which they could extract value from OpenAI’s use of NYT data beyond the price paid by any other user of NYT content, whether it be unpaid fair use or fully paid use under license. It feels to me that NYT is engaging in both double-dipping and discriminatory pricing, because they can, and because they’re big mad that OpenAI is more successful than they are with less access to the same or even less NYT data.
