That's still far more reliable than trying to email someone who doesn't have a computer or smartphone.

It may or may not be anyone of scale (I haven't been keeping track of the seller names), but there sure are a LOT of sellers who do that. Practically every search result I've looked for on Amazon in the past few years is flooded with people reselling Chinese brand goods or Chinese no-name brand goods. Even when I search for a specific US -brand product, the results are filled with similar (or similar-ish) Chinese goods that are all selling the same few product variations.

Glad to hear that's not you, though. Amazon definitely doesn't need any more people reselling like that. And good luck! I used to sell used books on Amazon (both seller-fulfilled and FBA) when I worked at a book store and year after year it became more and more of a nightmare until it simply wasn't worth our time anymore.

It's prob the other way around -- for almost a decade, Amazon's made it incredibly accessible for any Chinese factory, trading company, and middleman to spin up new brands on Amazon to reduce American brands and resellers' pricing powers. So the guys on Temu are selling their stuff rebranded on Amazon because it's fairly easy to spin up new stores and brands, while making it difficult for US sellers to do likewise.

Even worse (this actually happened to us a couple years back), Chinese companies outright steal our images/assets and then put them on other channels like Temu or Aliexpress, selling their knockoffs there pretending to be us. We were only made aware of this when we noticed products asking to be RMA'd from our support email, but with order receipts coming in from Aliexpress.

I digress, but the beatings will continue until morale improves...

That's really awesome! One feature request though: Can you make it so mousing over (or clicking on) an acronym tells you what it means? There are so many acronyms, it's hard for a layperson like myself to understand much of it.

I didn't build it. I just found it on a live stream (https://www.twitch.tv/ej_sa) of the mission. Maybe `Show HN:` was the wrong prefix.

Ah, yeah, Show HN is for things you made. Interesting links such as the one you shared are just shared without any special prefix.

From the HN FAQ:

> What are Ask HN and Show HN?

> Ask HN lists questions and other text submissions. Show HN is for sharing your personal work and has special rules.

When I'm using my macbook's screen, I usually expand a browser window to fill the whole screen -- it's a 13" screen so not using the whole thing makes things feel small. But most of the time my computer is plugged into an larger external monitor (20-something inches, maybe 27?), and there I don't expand any windows to fill the whole screen. I like having separate not-full-screen windows which partially (or mostly) overlap.

Somewhat relatedly, we use Windows at work, and it drives me crazy when I hop on a computer after someone's been using it and they have every single thing maximized, even Windows Explorer, on 27" monitors. A maximized browser, I get... I don't do it myself but I understand how it can be useful, but maximizing Windows Explorer is just insane to me, and yet a lot of my coworkers do it.

Is Ruby really the speed bottleneck in Homebrew? I would assume it would be due to file operations (and download operations), not choice of programming language.

Largely agree, though some things are notably difficult in some languages. Things like true concurrency for example didn’t come as naturally in Ruby because of the global interpreter lock. Of course there are third party libs, and workarounds though. Newer versions of Ruby bring it more natively, and as we’ve seen, Homebrew has adopted and makes use of that experimentally for a while, and the default relatively recently.

I can’t say that’s the only reason it’s slow of course. I’m on the “I don’t use it often enough for it to be a problem at all” side of the fence.

Parentheses in headings is a telltale AI sign now? I feel like this has been a common way for normal humans to write for ages.

Normal humans do it very rarely, LLMs do it all the time.

I wish we had metrics for claims like this. I feel like it's been a very common thing to see in blog posts written by humans, not AIs, over the last two decades.

It's probably not long till approximately nobody can distinguish LLM and human text.

"Permanent" as used in the article was merely in contrast to the concept of "going to get rolled back soon", not a true declaration of forever.

Maybe I'm getting worse at recognizing it, but I didn't notice anything that made me think it was AI-authored. What were the telltale signs you noticed?

But Apple has quietly built something else

Their reaction? Genuine shock.

Hierarchy wasn’t just a bullet point; it was the absolute anchor for the entire three-day session.

It just reads like a marketing pitch. Using an AI-generated header image gives up the game at the start

It can be inferred the use of "we" was as a quote. The bigger issue is that they did not clearly indicate that they were quoting.

Isn't it already like that, more or less, but the length of time it takes is longer than any software has so far existed?
