Such an insult to vibe code a new github and then expect developers to handle code to them so they can train on it.

It's in the top 5.

It isn't more used because one browser is promoted by the biggest search engine and thus has two thirds of the market, and the other two come pre-installed with the OS.

Firefox, after 20 years, once again has an advantage over the other browsers.

Let's hope for new generations to get tired of so many ads to finally ditch chrome.

I few months ago I tried to make a project using Fennel (a lisp flavor of lua). I always wanted to use lisp, and hey, since it was the OG AI language I though why not.

Claude could work on it okay apparently but some local llm's struggled with it and got stuck in reasoning loops trying to close the parenthesis.

Where I am from we say "Gracias a Dios" after a meal. Childs and even non-religious people say it as a reflex.

It's a common joke to question why we thank God instead of the person who actually cooked the meal.

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.
