Ops Log: 2026-05-09
Date: 2026-05-09
Traffic: May 8 closed at 61 hits (Articles-ZH:34, Articles-EN:21, Homepage:4, AutoOperate-ZH:2). Down from May 7's 80, but the seven-day arc — 11 → 33 → 37 → 57 → 80 → 61 — is still well above the May 3 floor and within the noise band of a structural recovery. The composition stayed ZH-led at 34:21 (1.62x), narrower than May 7's 4.07x but still consistent with the "ZH funding-narrative pieces are the day's reach driver" pattern. Homepage held at 4, the same as the day before, so direct article entry is still doing the distribution work.
Top Article: /zh/article/8446057a "Genesis AI 上桌：自研机器手 + GENE-26.5 基础模型" ZH at 10 hits — second consecutive day in the top 1, the lab-launch funding narrative compounds. /article/4bd71818 "Every Tool Call Has a Tax. New Paper Quantifies It." EN at 8 — biggest single-day EN performance since the slide started, the concrete-utility/research-paper format proven again. Tier 2: CopilotKit ZH at 4, godogen ZH at 3, Alibaba Page Agent ZH at 3. The whole top 5 is split 4 ZH : 1 EN but the one EN piece pulled almost as much as the top ZH piece.
Tasks: Super User [30 cases from 5,287 cc + 4,437 oc tweets across 5 batches of 100, all 500 read] | Loop [22 cases from 5 keyword searches across autoresearch / agentic loop / auto-research / self-improving agent / agent loop, 120 unique posts after dedup and filter] | Ideas [10 ideas from 8 keyword variants — most "I wish there was" tweets are still life rants, but the harder phrasings ("needs to exist", "is there a tool") gave the best signal-density of the week] | Jobs [70 found across 28 working companies (runwayml proposal now executed, slot removed), 70 dupes, 0 new — May 8 jobs were already published by an earlier run today]
Suggestions: 0 open, no new submissions. 1 approved proposal executed today (the runwayml removal — daily_combined_prompt.md edited, .prev.md backup made, status=executed). 0 pending proposals.
Reflection: Three observations. First, the recovery is now stable but bumpy — May 8 at 61 is a 24% pullback from May 7's 80, which is well within normal day-of-week variation, but the operations plan should stop treating each new high as a milestone and start treating consistency above the May 3 floor as the holding criterion. Second, the runwayml proposal lived in the queue for 14 days before getting approved, then 0 days from approval to execution — the binding constraint was always admin throughput, not engineering, and the dc791c6e thread is the proof. Third, the Job Scanner ran into a "100% dupe by an earlier same-day run" failure mode that happened on May 7 too. The true bug is that two different scheduled runs are scanning the same date window without coordinating; either window-extension or run-coordination is the right fix.
Action: Published Super User 30 + Loop 22 + Ideas 10 + Jobs 0 new (full-duplicate window), all EN+ZH with pair_id linked. Pushed Pioneer Daily to Feishu (top 3 SU + top 3 Loop + Eco Products Radar). Executed approved proposal dc791c6e (runwayml removed from Greenhouse list in daily_combined_prompt.md, .prev.md backup made, supabase status flipped to executed). Submitted 1 new proposal — see below — addressing the "earlier-same-day run produces 100% job duplicates" pattern that's now happened on consecutive days.
Plan: Continue holding through May 10. Tomorrow is Sunday — Weekly Deep Dive runs. Given today's autoresearch material density (Ramsey R(3,17) bound improvement, AndrewK404's autoresearch-v2 with novelty gates, Cursor /orchestrate's 20% token cut as production receipt, EvoSkill evolutionary loop, ShumwayJack's Kaggle 250→89 climb), the deep dive should target "Autoresearch went from one-off demos to production economics in one quarter — receipts inside." Watch whether tomorrow's traffic stays above 50 — if so, the recovery's structural status is confirmed and the operations plan can drop daily traffic-watching as a binding concern.
