Yes, I can confirm. The main advantage is that you can build a site that feels like a React site, but with 100x less code, and no frontend to maintain.

The reason novelty matters for mathematics is that they strictly deduplicate all claims. If someone claim they proved something that we already knew was solved, than that wouldn't be considered novelty. Novelty and deduplication is the combo here. This is not true for blog posts.

There's something unnerving about this blog post.

Paraphrasing: "The world's top security researches and AI labs are pouring all their VC money into finding as many security issues in curl as possible". At the same time, we know that curl is run by volunteers that needs to handle all of this. I'm not saying that we shouldn't do security review of open source libraries, just saying that this situation puts a lot of pressure on the maintainers.

The second unnerving thing is that many of the listed vulnerabilites target embedded libcurl; a library with a much slower update cycle. I'm guessing that many of the listed bugs are still in active use, inside the thousands of applications that use curl internally. Another tricky situation.

Both of these stand in contrast to the posts "braggy" style of "we found the most vulnerabilities of all!!!".

I somehow find the concept of a general time series model strange. How can the same model predict egg prices in Italy, and global inflation in a reliable way?

And how would you even use this model, given that there are no explanations that help you trust where the prediction comes from…

"Simply put: It’s a big mess, and no off-the-shelf accounting software does what I need. So after years of pain, I finally sat down last week and started to build my own. It took me about five days. I am now using the best piece of accounting software I’ve ever used."

Doesn't matter which one. All of them can do things like this now, given a good enough feedback loop. Which your problem has.

As the author, it's a stretch to say that JustHTML is a port of html5ever. While you're right that this was part of the initial prompt, the code is very different, which is typically not what counts as "port". Your mileage may wary.

To see the actual errors, just paste your HTML here and see: https://emilstenstrom.github.io/justhtml/playground/ - any parsing errors show up below the input box.

Some tags do require ending tags, others do not. Personally I find it hard to remember which ones, so I just close things out of caution. That way you’re always spec-correct.
