For anybody not familiar with pgrust or ClickBench:

Pgrust is a re-implememtation of postgresql in rust.

ClickBench is a benchmark suite for databases.

The link goes to a removal request of pgrust fromthat benchmark because of its alleged cheating.

> The link goes to a removal request

Incorrect, the link is to a PR from the creator of Clickbench and already merged. It is not a "request".

As much as I understand the urge to step in when somebody is wrong on the internet ... The R in PR is for "request", isn't it? A merged pull request is still a request (which was satisfied/merged).

If I ask you a question and you answer it, and then I show you a link to a document containing my question, then what somebody finds when following that link is still a (now-answered) question, isn't it?

> alleged cheating

It was more discovered than alleged, but perhaps "cheating" is an inaccurate word as well, this is just Ai being Ai and a human obviously doing eyes free coding.

The facts around the cheating are disputed. It's possible the accuser was mistaken about what was happening. To me the main evidence would be whether the fully open source version matches the alleged cheating performance or not.

Eyes free coding, that's a cool term. I know a dude that's been doing that since before it was cool: Kevin Jones (blind)
