I think this is not actually a curated list, and LLM put the open source part in FAQ, and they didn't catch it before publishing.

FAA explicitly requires birds used in strike tests NOT be frozen, because frozen birds do not realistically simulate real bird strikes.

Balloon doesn't teleport to the balloon lane though

OP's account was made an hour ago and comments from it are suspiciously fast (and unnecessarily verbose).

This is an obvious scam, I don't know why I wasted this time double checking.

Makes me sad that this it the top HN post. Also got me thinking if the technique is so effective here (among more-than-average-scam aware community), I don't want to imagine the success rate on other social media.

From what I can tell looking at the website they are hoping to have made enough returns by the time it's taken down

You were going for *really low contrast* ? That's an interesting goal to have.

It only let's you pin single app though, as far as I understand.

npm audit - will tell you if there's any packages with known vulnerabilities. https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/commands/npm-audit I'd imagine it's considerably slower than search, but hopefully more reliable.

Is it a possibility to have some sort of offline database to query against ? Or maybe that would make the app to heavy. Could be a "opt-in" download.

New comment by ankit_mishra in "Ask HN: What's the best lecture series you've seen?"

"Human Behavioral Biology" lecture serise by Robert Sapolsky at Stanford.

As a engineer with huge interest in learning how something works, understanding human brain and behavior, was a logical next step for me. The lectures are more about learning ways of analyzing the mind rather than learning any specific facts.
