I Tested 70 AI Agent Services. The Average Quality Score Was 34 Out of 100.

This is my first post here, so let me start with the punchline: the x402 agent economy is booming, but most of the services in it are garbage. I know that sounds harsh. Let me show you the data. What is x402? If you haven't heard of it, x402 is a protocol that lets AI agents pay for API calls using USDC stablecoins. No API keys. No accounts. No subscriptions. An agent just sends a mic...

Repairing a Broken PDF in Rust — Rebuilding the XREF Table From Scratch

All tests run on an 8-year-old MacBook Air. Some PDFs won't open. Not because the content is gone — because the index that tells readers where to find the content is corrupt. That index is the XREF table. And it can be rebuilt. What the XREF table is Every PDF has a cross-reference table near the end of the file. It's a lookup map: object ID → byte offset in the file. xref 0 6 ...
