🍪🔒 Oh wow, an article trying to explain why SWE-bench Verified doesn't measure cutting-edge coding skills, but all it tells you is to enable #JavaScript and #cookies. Groundbreaking insight! 🧠✨ Clearly, the future of coding depends on cookie consent. 🍪💡

Why SWE-bench Verified no longer measures frontier coding capabilities

SWE-bench Verified is increasingly contaminated and mismeasures frontier coding progress. Our analysis shows flawed tests and training leakage. We recommend SWE-bench Pro.

🍔💸 Oh, the irony! A deep dive into America's wealth-induced malaise gets thwarted by a cookie consent pop-up. 🤦‍♂️🔒 Clearly, existential despair is just one browser update away from resolution. 🙃

Ah, the cutting-edge journalism of our era: requiring #JavaScript and cookie consent to read about a tragedy. 💀 Clearly, nothing says "serious reporting" like a tech hurdle before unveiling grave matters. 🙄

Ah, the groundbreaking revelation that if you don't have #JavaScript or cookies, you can't identify unrecognized Covid-19 deaths! 🤯 Clearly, this is a cutting-edge machine learning technique that requires more cookie consent than actual coding. 🍪🔍

In the most riveting #showdown since the invention of sliced bread, our fearless trio—Vim, #Emacs, and Claude—battle it out in the arena of "Enable JavaScript" notifications. 🤦‍♂️ Spoiler alert: the real winner is the cookie consent banner, which steals the show with a cameo no one wanted. 🍪✨

MAD Bugs: vim vs emacs vs Claude

We asked Claude to find a bug in Vim. It found an RCE. Just open a file, and you’re owned. We joked: fine, we’ll switch to Emacs. Then Claude found an RCE there too.

Ah, the eternal wisdom of the fortune cookie factory behind Lloyds List 🥠—shocking revelation: the experts might be wrong! 🚨 Meanwhile, they spice it up with a hearty serving of cookie consent warnings because who doesn't enjoy a side of internet bureaucracy with their maritime panic? 🍪💻

They all said Hormuz closure would be brief. What if they were wrong?

On day six of the Middle East war, hope of a swift reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is fading. There does not seem to be a quick fix. A material return of transits in the future will require shipowners to be convinced that the route is safe for their crew and vessel assets
