There have been attempts to impersonate @sigsoft EC members (including me serving as treasurer) to request for payment. Please ignore those requests. Many thanks and hopefully there would be no more attempts in the future.

It’s so much fun working with the other 39 community members on this project! Start to try out various frontier models in BigCodeArena today.
Introducing BigCodeArena, a human-in-the-loop platform for evaluating code through execution. Unlike current open evaluation platforms that collect human preferences on text, it enables interaction with runnable code to assess functionality and quality across any language.

Taking a post @ICSEconf break in Vancouver. Taking the once a year opportunity of viewing the beautiful city through @BMOVanMarathon :) Fortunate not being "swept" in the rather hilly course with much shorter cutoff than my first one -- happy to bump my PB by about an hour :)
