Probably being used to enhance the humor, intentionally.

That way instead of getting the vulnerabilities now, you get them later! The joys of computing!

You forgot pnmp! How can you not be using pnmp in 20267!?

Just use the implementation of petty, a js runtime written in Zag that is just rewritten by AI in Rust. It will be memory safe.

What are you talking about? Every Rust project I see seems to have 5 dependencies that do some simple thing that should be in the standard library, or at least in some centrally-audited monolibrary of utilities.

Perhaps you're referring to things like regex and rand (each of which is itself multiple crates for the purpose of code organization), which are all first-party crates provided by the Rust organization itself, simply shipped and versioned separately from the standard library? If you trust the Rust organization enough to install and run the provided toolchain binaries on your machine, then you trust them enough to depend upon the dozens of crates that are provided under the umbrella of the Rust project.

Can you name 5 as an example?

What? I use Qwen 3.5 35B-A3B and it definitely knows how and when to do web searches to fill in gaps in its knowledge.

Does Qwen3.5 know it needs to do this because the API in question has had loads of churn and much of its training data is on obsolete versions, or do you need to prompt it? How well does it handle having an API reference with sample code in its context window?

Having an LLM use a web search tool isn't the same thing as researching a topic, IMO, because it's so ephemeral and needs constant reinforcement. LLMs aren't learning machines, they're static ones.

How many facts change over time to create obsolete data? Unless you’re researching current events, I contend it’s a moot point.

In the original Cindarella, don't the stepsisters mutilate their feet to try to fit them into the slipper? Talk about single-minded obsession...

Well it can't be worse than TikTok-induced brainrot, so if that's what we replace Pinocchio with then I'd say we were better off before.

This site actually works just fine without JS.

We all appreciate the work you do! Thank you!

Makes me glad I've always avoided doing my work on web platforms. When we used to have to make presentations in Google Slides I used to do them in Org-mode, then export to Sheets. I still have all those assignments sitting on my disk. Sure, there's versions of them on Google Drive, but I always make sure that the canonical version is the one on my disk.
