New comment by timetraveller26 in "Did 75,000 Students Cheat on a College-Entrance Exam in Mexico?"

timetraveller26 — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 22:11:19 +0000

UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico), one of the most important universities of Mexico, tried (and failed) to use AI to help make its admission exam fully online for the first time.

Massive scale cheating ensues, and students get approved with 100% score at scales way higher than previous year. Applicants protest on both sides, some request that the exam gets invalidated, others ask for the results to be respected.

After an investigation, UNAM can't really know with certainty who cheated and who didn't, and the only fair option is to make the exam again in person, but only the people who approved and those with scores >= previous years approval scores.

New comment by timetraveller26 in "Why I chose Lua for this blog"

timetraveller26 — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 15:48:07 +0000

Always glad to read histories of Lua in the wild, it certainly is kind of an odd language but its simplicity and embedability makes it for a great choice for a lot of use cases.

I used to like moonscript coffescript-like syntax, but nowadays I mostly like plain lua, though Fennel looks appealing.

It's ironic that Spotify is the biggest platform and yet they are more expensive, they give you worse quality, and they pay their artist the less.

timetraveller26 — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 16:57:44 +0000

lua could have been a good replacement for yaml configuration files, the tables syntax is really natural and being a full programming language (a small one) allows for more complex usage.

The most dystopian part of all that is that we are getting into a future in which React is the preferred "language" just because it's the favorite of our AI overlords.
