why does this look like an attack ad who looked at this thumbnail and went "ship it" do they just hate him? and themselves?

I've added an AI policy to ripgrep that was shamelessly copied from uv's policy. I plan to add this to the rest of my projects, but if anyone wants to offer feedback on wording, now would be a good time! github.com/BurntSushi/r...

Just merged the first community PR to ezpz, the open-source geometry constraint solver! Someone at Rust Week NL liked my talk and, during Rust Week's hackathon day, he opened a PR that speeds up under/overconstrained analysis 3x! Thank you Marcus Klaas! github.com/KittyCAD/ezp...

why play cities: skyline when you can play github actions?

Hi I'd like to report a glitch in /r/outside ...the pope clearly suffered a UAF

I did this with "France announced nukes might be deployed in other european countries" and, of course, the Iran war, and then-Claude/GPT went "maybe the user is playing a joke on me"

I often enjoy torturing LLMs with questions like this since the underlying facts are way outside the with knowledge cutoff and the facts seem wildly unlikely

you’re doing a version of this when you have the robot build integration tests around a codebase before you port it. or more exotic things xcancel.com/jarredsumner...

bye #rustweek, bye utrecht, it was good to meet everyone and scheme together — now to sleep for 72h before anything else happens!

Nine more Erdos problems resolved with LLMs + Lean: arxiv.org/pdf/2605.227... Worth noting they got 9/353 after trying a giant set of open problems by Erdos, and 44/492 OEIS open conjectures. Likely would've gotten 0 a year ago.

I'm bringing my stupidest crate ever to rustweek, I'm sure some will enjoy (not published/public anywhere yet, no need to check my github)

slidev at="-0" has different behavior than at="0" aahahah
