The FDA Approved a New Natural Food Dye. Here's How to Avoid the Artificial Ones

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-02-16 15:00:00

The US Food and Drug Administration has put a spotlight on food dyes this year. In January, the administration banned Red No. 3 and then approved three natural food dyes in May. Now, on top of the FDA and Department of Health and Human Services asking food companies to stop using petroleum-based synthetic dyes entirely, the FDA wants brands to speed up the removal of Red No. 3 before the proposed 2027 deadline. To help this along, the administration just green-lit a new natural blue food dye, ga

To be a better programmer, write little proofs in your head

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-16 20:05:39

This is a brief write-up of a trick I learned that helps me write code faster and more accurately. I say "trick", but it's really something I started to do without noticing as I moved further into my career. When you're working on something difficult, sketch a proof in your head as you go that your code will actually do what you want it to do. A simple idea, but easier said than done: doing this "online" without interrupting your flow takes a lot of practice. But once you get really good at it,

Reflections on OpenAI

I left OpenAI three weeks ago. I had joined the company back in May 2024. I wanted to share my reflections because there's a lot of smoke and noise around what OpenAI is doing, but not a lot of first-hand accounts of what the culture of working there actually feels like. Nabeel Quereshi has an amazing post called Reflections on Palantir, where he ruminates on what made Palantir special. I wanted to do the same for OpenAI while it's fresh in my mind.

Kerry Wan/ZDNET The Galaxy S25 Edge was my unexpected favorite phone in Samsung's S-series lineup this year. I previously wrote about how it had one major fault, but is the compact phone for content consumption in 2025.

Research leaders urge tech industry to monitor AI’s ‘thoughts’

AI researchers from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, as well as a broad coalition of companies and nonprofit groups, are calling for deeper investigation into techniques for monitoring the so-called thoughts of AI reasoning models in a position paper published Tuesday.

For years, code-editing tools like Cursor, Windsurf, and GitHub’s Copilot have been the standard for AI-powered software development. But as agentic AI grows more powerful and vibe-coding takes off, a subtle shift has changed how AI systems are interacting with software. Instead of working on code, they’re increasingly interacting directly with the shell of whatever system they’re installed in.

Campbell's Law (a variant of Goodhart's Law) states that the more a metric is used for social decision-making, the more it will be subject to corruption which distorts and corrupts not only the metric itself, but the very social processes it was meant to measure. Selection criteria for a position of authority are one example of such a metric. When selection criteria are opaque, it is difficult for them to become a target, preserving their utility as measures.
