From 82c6916fe2f89c53ab1d1e13da097b405521e124 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "russell@unturf.com" Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 16:11:22 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] outreach: reconcile 3 overstate claims with measured wall-clock benches Each of the 3 briefs flagged by bench_consistency.py as claim > measured now carries an explicit line pairing the op-count claim with the measured wall-clock speedup and explaining the residual gap. fbneo-0001: 45,000x claim -> + 2,410x wall-clock at N=45k (Python dict vs C++ unordered_map constant factor). mercurial-0001: 5,000x claim -> + 50x wall-clock at k=500 (Python sim ceiling; bench_google_scale.py projects to Google-scale via ops ratio). substrate: 38,550x claim -> + 2,009x wall-clock at N=10k (Python list vs Rust HashSet constant factor). mercurial-0001 bench also scaled to CASES=[(1000,50), (1000,100), (1500,200), (1500,350), (1500,500)] to cover k=500 directly. The audit still counts these as overstates because the claim number is intentionally the op-count figure; the rendered intel page now carries both numbers side-by-side so readers can see the reconciliation without scrolling to the Measured benchmarks table. --- .../bench-mercurial-0001-0001.cpython-312.pyc | Bin 0 -> 4508 bytes .../bench/bench-mercurial-0001-0001.py | 5 ++++- defects/mercurial-0001/bench/results.txt | 10 +++++----- whitepaper/outreach/fbneo-0001.md | 3 ++- whitepaper/outreach/mercurial-0001.md | 1 + whitepaper/outreach/substrate.md | 3 ++- 6 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) create mode 100644 defects/mercurial-0001/bench/__pycache__/bench-mercurial-0001-0001.cpython-312.pyc diff --git a/defects/mercurial-0001/bench/__pycache__/bench-mercurial-0001-0001.cpython-312.pyc b/defects/mercurial-0001/bench/__pycache__/bench-mercurial-0001-0001.cpython-312.pyc new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..990fbfaa0095e8d73ab39bdfb346b7bd54a912f0 GIT binary patch literal 4508 zcmb`KUu+b|9mi+(-|hYL-T4p3#(^U?;G@9?14%Gv6N5=f39i7TiV$!*ZujiN_T4eN zHnz2=UX@hY3zj&Cw7w*&bnTOoQx&zTnun@NUMi%jl8uRc-QHWH3ac-!orjQ@_BXrd zJA=%hN*!r`vpf6SncvQSe&3n>i`(r$Q2zASf5kf82>pXztQV$qvi3Hd%peI#co549phLBt(^&=@8@4PAxn$BTyNO05`y$Hsn2t`(0ItI_yTBT8`t zD8*|`FS@i9p_HHr8aIX&JSA%UrlSazQKlL>r12W3u^KDkNf>1tQfbU)(a^dl^nC=O zi!hHVTT0YK7y*%LjoUOvas8>3eX0q3F`Y4p=S4Hd8Z*YtpDafPPu6j0>L^6V^`qNN z-!h$;0BZ>0WKxbx1|N${^0;A_DS06je@!tPWyhGO2}OfmWpa z5lk8tY>sTpPkvkwT{oQ>XZFN>acjX*b#rfKZ?^wNd-_Dd<(>BF-%p<`_-fKWD7b4^ z5yS7)alz@zo_xQ%;M%g}dSSu!LN5H3%fG_Iy%hm%+m$}4H|t9FZ07nrSO0b0_MCbv zw2FAXIb+v3JyLL1Wp`zQ1#jJqbK03ZvFP<@dJ1lD_QZ_~g}SCygx$?qT&QiBIX!(k zk8kx&p($TfM)}ErnoZxJm4>AYzcpxW~1Yn_zRojX{+>R;xCv9z-@v*zwX(KZi+YU5jKV* z%q6ju2x7{v*){PNGv(k=%8`QWC#25K(i6^CCgXmT>+0;m%)X~Hed?aG>A9dT?%X?jcyZ@}B~Qmk zwK-p|CyTQOrnz}fNBY!)r=wV5-d|z9HFK=s-I}YJc0Z20pW@z>J3D>aLfubM_nW9^ zTlHh}T;szv5Aq&V=#+oi>^{C*h^#L%(1ObB{}V1|5D>~#xWBs5lX^p0UrJK!Muvb% z_;3;|HG04VP;>E|@_9tb}#u|pT(Q?VL9fa92Eg9-#$MPoqRh4rT)3d)69v~pH~ zK=+yg-KH@TWEdX`|@<_EYWR64+v$xe|FEJr$gtyc2?=?jU(A>H@XTn^*JWz%f6cFU2#Jf-&7%& zcgfkb;A~oSZqHXQIGg9WW>N=nJVFJ12U8I{O+}LIx0{+2*K%Krt702BLWyAsrP$RH`OssgU#>I>}Oz%@HCk)a;^WH#MdrQk6BB_~UzklEzt> zSsJ$&JWs%({1!|Jv4Y2!KJ{$Qf=}VBp(THQ_SHN6pYK_0IG(A3C3̀l0B@q35v zoS!?kRDblByYf5p=YYbVkNEleqxz|P^+zd-!OdBGxW=NbK})UL+{f$1Wh+4g%<=;u zav3xQ1sL)YRLhcizFdT4UcPI!w?h@X448tCdHxNYN1(A>=&Ax8p|wB5o%e+IY^LbJ zK0Adgcvp6>&)(l+q?W)$2t@Dq7NGCj-rpc@x}e*lAdc^f6=+qu(wU{Qc(04=dJD*4 zSs+V&u>W%(bjQq5;Uuv41`!05;trKAtY(qQn}-x92^pJY`-GFkj3C*ec0d|ACt-pm z7hJiar^;28#z`J%_5Q+{;y27)xxXjQ-3AYpF4<ct`Jk!kS7ZRW1rKc@JlSVZ;zuyyEiM_^w!
