GraafHenk releases WangNet, a 1.8MB neural network that judges 'Numberwang'

A developer known as GraafHenk has published an open-source project called Numberwang, built around a tiny 1.8MB JSON model and roughly 100 lines of pure Python with no external dependencies. The tool parses digits, number words, arithmetic expressions, Roman numerals, currencies and more across eleven languages, then returns one of four comedic verdicts inspired by the British sketch of the same name, including 'Numberwang' and 'Wangernumb'. It runs via command line or can be imported directly as a Python function returning probability scores for each verdict.

C++26 adds optional 'hardened' mode to catch standard library errors

C++26 introduces the concept of a hardened implementation for the standard library, where operations like std::vector's operator[] that previously caused undefined behavior on invalid access now trigger a defined contract violation instead—if the implementation enables hardening. The standard leaves it up to each implementation to decide whether and how this hardened mode is turned on.
