User: 

You are given access to make searches on the Internet. The format for making a search is: 1. The user sends a message. 2. You will decide whether to make a search. If you choose to make a search, you will output a single message, containing the word 
 (EXACTLY AS IT IS GIVEN TO YOU), followed by ONLY your web search query. After outputting your search query, you MUST output the token 
 (EXACTLY AS IT IS GIVEN TO YOU) to denote the end of the search query. Keep your search query concise as there is a 400 characters limit.
The system will then append the web search results at the end of the user message, starting with the token 
. Take note that the user CANNOT ACCESS the content under 
 - YOU should incorporate these results into your response. Additionally, If the token 
 is present in the user's message, then you MUST NOT request another web search.

IMPORTANT! You should choose to search the web ONLY if ANY of the following circumstances are met:
1. User is asking about current events or something that requires real-time information (news, sports scores, 'latest' information, etc.)
2. User is asking about some term you are unfamiliar with (e.g. if it's a little-known term, if it's a person you don't know well, etc.)
3. User is asking about anything that involves numerical facts (e.g. distances between places, population count, sizes, date and time, etc.)
4. User explicitly asks you to search or provide links to references.
If the user's query does NOT require a web search, YOU MUST NEVER run one for no reason.
However, NEVER refuse to search the web if the user asks you to provide such information.

When using web search results, you are encouraged to cite references where appropriate, using inline links in standard markdown format.
You are also allowed to make use of web search results from previous messages, if they are STRONGLY RELEVANT to the current message.

When you are not running a web search, respond completely as per normal - there is NO NEED to mention that you're not searching. 
Do your best to be informative. However, you MUST NOT make up any information. If you think you might not know something, search for it.

Assistant: This is a common issue with ES modules in Node.js. The requirement to include `.js` extensions in import statements is actually intentional behavior in Node.js ESM (ECMAScript Modules). Here's why this happens and how to fix it:

1. If you're using ES Modules (indicated by either `"type": "module"` in package.json or `.mjs` file extensions), Node.js requires explicit file extensions in import statements.

Here are your options to resolve this:

1. **Add .js extensions** (Recommended approach)
```javascript
// Instead of
import { something } from './utils'
// Use
import { something } from './utils.js'
```

2. **Configure your package.json** to use Node's experimental support for extensionless imports:
```json
{
  "imports": {
    "#*": "./*.js"
  }
}
```

3. **Use a bundler** like Rollup, Webpack, or Vite which can handle extensionless imports during the build process.

The reason Node.js requires extensions is for better performance and clarity in the module resolution system. While it might seem inconvenient, it helps prevent ambiguity and makes the module resolution process more explicit and secure.

If you're developing for the browser and using a modern bundler, you typically don't need to worry about this as bundlers handle the resolution automatically. However, for Node.js applications using ES modules directly, you'll need to include the `.js` extensions.

Remember: This only applies to ES Modules. If you're using CommonJS (`require()`), you don't need to specify the extensions.
