Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — Rust
It ranks mainly on source trust: Rust is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.
It clears the bar without leading strongly on any one factor. A middling score is not a claim that the story is important — only that nothing about it is weak.
Link-outLink-out, because it scores 0.42, below the 0.50 bar for a write-up. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 32% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trustleads | 0.25 | 1.00 | +0.250 59% | Rust is the highest-trust source on this story and is first-party — the organisation announcing its own news. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshness | 0.20 | 0.20 | +0.040 9% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
Rustup 1.29.3 is a patch release addressing regressions from the previous version. The update fixes an "Illegal instruction" error that occurred on certain x86_64 CPUs lacking SSE4.1 support and resolves a "lock() not supported" error on Solaris systems. Users can upgrade by running rustup self update or rustup update, or manually by downloading the rustup-init binary for their platform and replacing their existing rustup binary.
This release follows version 1.29.2, which addressed certificate validation issues by updating dependencies. The patch release process is straightforward for most users, though those experiencing self-update problems can perform a manual installation by ensuring no other rustup processes are running before replacing the binary.
Anti-malware software may temporarily block rustup operations when installing components like rust-docs due to the large number of small files involved. Such issues typically resolve automatically within a few weeks once security scanners are updated to recognize the new release. Full details are available in the changelog.
