I wonder why many groups are doing the "curl pipe to bash" thing these days.

I have been seeing this pattern for some years now, and also seen criticism of it.

do they not care about security, or is it not a security issue? conditionally or unconditionally, that is?
I used to visit it occasionally, mostly just to catch up on what people were building and maybe find something interesting every now and then. It was kind of like what StumbleUpon was back in the day, just random exploration of things people made. I almost never signed up for any product, though.
Not sure about mainline 40k. But for Horus Heresy (official 40k spinoff of an earlier edition) there was an absurd amount of free or borderline free (think 5$ for a set of files to print an equivalent unit box that would have cost you $60 from GW, but you can print as many boxes as you want) community created content for resin printers. Not just units or vehicle models but also mix and match bits similar to what you're talking about (helmets, arms, legs, torsos, weapons, to customize both official and unofficial models). I remember being blown away by how many of the models were on par with or even better than what GW was offering for a fraction of the price. If you had or knew someone with a resin printer you could print 400-500$ armies for 20-30$ of resin. Most of the group I played with had at least half of their army printed out. And in a lot of ways it's "truer" from a hobbyist point of view because instead of buying a box of generic troops from GW and painting them according to their faction you could wildly customize beyond what the official troop boxes came with with printed bits and greebles. Some people came up with really creative and impressive stuff.

Exactly, this is alienation. Marx went on to describe the emergence of capital in history as another form of alienation.

Yes, it’s interesting how different cultures have such different ways of telling stories (although sometimes that gets a bit muddied with the massive cross pollination between global media).

I always figured Lego was the way to go here. But Hasbro would never be dumb enough to license those properties.

It would be cool however if someone took a standard Lego set and rearranged the pieces into a number of units. So everyone knew if you wanted a DingleHopper you would buy this kit and get one DingleHopper and three Jiggamadoos, and trade those to your friend for a pair of Whatsits.

I believe the distinction the OP was making was foreign-owned/operated airline vs domestic. Makes a small difference, but not hufe, as all commericial pilots landing in the US must have an FAA ATP, and the same minimum flight hours as American pilots (though the quality of those hours and other training may vary).
Yes, the top-line number doesn't tell you much. Additional details matter: Was it one department or endemic? It appears mostly related to one large Sherrif department:

"""The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LACSD) sheriff’s department’s 6,789 abuses made up a majority of the record 7,275 violations across California that were reported to the state Department of Justice (CADOJ) in 2023 regarding the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS). """

Does misuse of the databases lead to tangible consequences? Maybe yes: "Across California between 2019 and 2023, there have been:

""
761 investigations of CLETS misuse, resulting in findings of at least 7,635 individual violations of the system’s rules
55 officer suspensions, 50 resignations, and 42 firings related to CLETS misuse
six misdemeanor convictions and one felony conviction related to CLETS misuse

The issue is people have done careful tests where the send the EXACT SAME card multiples times and get different grades.

Is this for real: (questions for becoming an ATC, linked from the article you liked. It's so weird so I'm not sure)

https://kaisoapbox.com/projects/faa_biographical_assessment/

The questions are mind-blowing. And:

> In the present day, there is a critical shortage of ATCs, with the FAA having 1,000 fewer ATCs in 2023 than it did in 2012.

If that's how they were hiring (although they don't do today), I could understand if that has a bit contributed to fewer ATCs today.

Seems it is for real: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/jan/30/faa-diversi...

"... In 2013, the FAA started using a “biographical assessment” to increase the hiring of preferred minority racial groups at air traffic control centers. The assessment asked applicants about their participation in school sports and the age at which they started earning money."

"The assessment disqualified more experienced, qualified applicants ..."
The service being sold is the objectivity of the grading process, otherwise anyone could just decide they have a high grade item.

This sort of thing happens all the time in grading – a later reveal shows that earlier gradings were obviously incorrect in the mind of any collector. That means that they have such a poor objective process as to be no better than subjective analysis.

Graders ultimately sell reputation. Like currency, grading only works if you believe in it. Don't believe the grader? Then their word isn't worth anything. This means as more and more of these issues happen, graders will struggle to retain that trust, and when it disappears it disappears rapidly.

I think they are fair statements, but perhaps not saying what you think.

Plato covers a lot of this kind of thing and it is maybe useful to use his framework (since much of modern Catholicism has a healthy dose of Platonism). Both flowers and music can be called "beautiful" and there is some sense in which both partake in a universal "Beauty". Yet at the same time the nature of the beauty of flowers and music is distinct. This is a difficult paradox to contemplate.

And so it may be with Intelligence. There may be some Platonic form of Intelligence that both humans and AIs partake in, but there may be some aspect of the human manifestation of that form that will forever remain distinct to humans.

Of course, it is up to you how much you value the distinctness of that expression of the universal form. Catholic faith suggests that the particular distinctiveness of human expressions of these forms is "divine" in some sense. That is, it is our manifestation of the universal that is valuable, not the universal in and of itself.
This has been a concern of mine for a while. Most of the kernel developers I know are from the baby boomer generation and have been slowly retiring one by one. Some may continue to support it in their retirement but some of them are jaded from all the politics that has crept into development and I can not say I would blame them. I am curious if there are enough developers to back-fill that are nearly as experienced. My biggest concern with their replacements would be people trying to bring in every shiny, exciting and trendy {practice, language, framework} turning Linux into an unstable mess once there is not enough people to push back.
Yes, the user's operating system probably already has an IANA database somewhere, or the browser could bundle its own IANA database.

And the browser probably already has some way to access that database anyway.
blancolirio (active pilot who regularly makes videos about crahses with the aim of improving safety) just released a new video on this accident: https://youtu.be/_3gD_lnBNu0

Summary: The helicopter might have been a little bit too high. The night vision goggles might have negatively affected the vision. The two aircraft were probably on different frequencies so didn’t hear each other. And the helicopter might have focused on the wrong plane to avoid because they didn’t see the right one thanks to the city skyline. It looks like the classic swiss cheese where multiple problems stacked up to cause the collision. See the video for details.

Not just wealthy, but also the charismatic. The couple of weeks when I knew about baseball cards and they were still something anyone cared about, I realized that one of the kids I knew was trying to sweet-talk everyone into trading them one card we had for a few cards he had.

I had no idea what the meaning of the trade was, I just knew that I was probably being tricked, based on the vibes he was putting out. And that was the last time I was interested in loot boxes.

No, but there are ways you could approach it with various tradeoffs.

You could start with something naive using pattern matching, common formats, common words, etc. and apply the most relevant emoji. It'd be fast and small but not as flexible and no cool ML in there to enjoy. It'd probably be how I'd go about it though - you could actually use AI at the dev stage to get the dataset for this pretty tight I reckon..

Or.. you could use a tiny embedding model (which might even be fast on CPU alone), assign emojis to the best appropriate regions, then pick the 'closest' emojis for embeddings of fresh text. Potentially inaccurate but could be fast-ish.

Or.. all the way up to using something like TensorFlow and training a classifier, but it'd probably take a fair bit of space and not be super fast if it fell back to CPU. Would be a fun experiment! (I haven't done this on Linux before so I might be wrong in 2025.)

One big benefit of Core ML is it Just Works™ if you meet the hardware and OS requirements. On Linux you'd potentially need to fall back to CPU or have a lot of various dependencies to lean on (maybe ONNX takes care of all this nowadays?)

You can't and it shouldn't matter and I don't care if everyone sees my upvotes on Reddit right away / at the same time as others or if I see theirs or when exactly my comments show up.

But global/twitter/reddit etc. scale does matter in that I don't really remember a PHPBB or slashdot or HN swallowing my comments, ever. Even if you get an error you can always just go back in the browser and your input box is there with your comment.

But reddit has been effing atrocious over the last few months. You get "Internal Server Error" when trying to do any voting or commenting a lot and it won't go away until you refresh the page like 17 times (until presumably you round robin get to some BE server that actually works. It's also been swallowing comments, where about every third or fourth comment it accepts the comment instead of throwing an Internal Server Error at you (which would be preferable) and instead it "accepts" it but it will never show up. Ever. Only chance is to copy every comment before submitting, in case you have to re-submit it from scratch.

Hypothetically if Microsoft threw enough money at it, could they get C# to work natively in the browser ?

I actually really like Flutter Web, Google has done an amazing job with it. I built a small game for a friend, but it's not as customizable as an actual website coded in JavaScript.

It appears they've taken a hybrid approach where you get both a JavaScript and a Wasm build.

https://docs.flutter.dev/platform-integration/web/wasm

I feel like Unity in particular has really pushed the limits of what you can do in a browser. For example, I have a simple 3D game that performs just as well as the android build.

As far as making a small game, it's very easy to get someone to open a link. The browser sandboxes every and protects you.

It's near impossible to convince someone to download a binary, with good reason.

Historically (as in past 100-150 years), the Deep South and West, though today probably only states like Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, etc. Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia now have rural/urban divides that are stronger (more predictive) than, e.g., racial and class divides. Historically the West was rather homogenous politically, relatively speaking, but that's rapidly receding from memory. Though if you squint both Democratic and Republican West Coast politicians in some state (e.g. governor) and national offices (senator), but definitely not local offices, tend to still be a little more centrist than you'd expect as compared to their counterparts back east.
