So I was trying to understand why pull requests speeding up the Elixir version were being denied by the clankers while they were being accepted to Go/Express/Rust.
It turns out that, not only each project had a different starting point and a different prompt, but also each project also has a different set of verifications that they are required to pass!
For example, Elixir is the only guided to "preserve the pinned Rails reference behaviour", the only with a explicit verification that we are using Redis and draining its queue (so we cannot remove it while others can), and the only one actively enforcing it.
So it turns out that the people telling you to not read the code cannot even use AI to set up fair benchmarks (probably because they would have to read the code in order to do that).
You don't have to believe me, you can do your own research or ask your agent to do it for you. E.g. here is what Claude Code came back with: gist.github.com/josevalim/ae…
Also extracted a separate verification project that's responsible for the benchmarking and checking of new implementations and improvements to the existing ones. The full report from the latest runs is there too. github.com/basecamp/once-cam…
I'm headed to the Hunt Cup final from DEN but want to sit with City supporters. @StLouligans or @stlCITYsc can you help me out from your allocation? Just need 1!

Beyond parody: "At the strong request of the United States Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, planned since the Civil War Era many years ago, at the Receptive Circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage."

Great to welcome @jakepaul to the Treasury Department today.
Jake’s path from content creator to entrepreneur and professional boxer is a distinctly American story. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Y’all - we’re tired. We know it’s hot, we’re trying our best to get through this summer. If you have any issues with us, talk to us - we love a discussion & interaction. Don’t be like Randy who’s whole personality seems to be google reviews 🙃

Tonight I typed just one sentence into Google Earth and put refugees near the Mexican border. Then I planted a nuclear plant in Iran. What on earth is Google doing? Check my latest post here: digitaldigging.org/p/how-to-…

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

Let me explain educate you all what just happened,
5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran…
Someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.5 minutes.
These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the market at that time.
Whoever did this wasn’t guessing.
You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.
There was zero public indication this announcement was coming.
No leaks.
No press.
Nothing.
The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.
Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes, they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes.
In a single trade.
On a war that cost you $4+ gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.
American citizens funded this war. Politicians are positioned to profit from it.
This is not the first time.
Major announcements have repeatedly been preceded by suspicious market moves tariff reversals, policy shifts, war decisions.
This may be one of the most blatant examples of potential insider advantage in modern American politics.
You would go to prison for trading on a tip from your cousin.
Yet billion-dollar trades happen minutes before decisions like this and no one asks questions.Nobody gets investigated.
Nobody gets charged.
By tomorrow, this will be buried under the next headline.
Just like last time.
And the time before that.
The game is rigged. The insiders pull the strings and win over and over.
And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore.

The Afroman Trial.
-Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons.
-Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up.
-No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman.
-Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras.
-Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives.
-During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat.
-The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation.
-Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit.
-Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them.
-One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife.
-As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE.
-The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman.
This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.

the first F1 story of the season was “leclerc got married and his dog was there” the second story is “Aston Martin built a car that will kill the driver if they try to complete a full race.” Perfect sport, no notes
