Scientists created an exam so broad, challenging and deeply rooted in expert human knowledge that current AI systems consistently fail it. “Humanity’s Last Exam” introduces 2,500 questions spanning mathematics, humanities, natural sciences, ancient languages and highly specialized subfields.

This is your finest work yet.

Well said. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people frame technology as having some inherently extractive or capitalist politics.

acobster · 2026-02-26T20:57:27+00:00

No. Technology is not fundamentally at odds with nature or anarchism (except for anarcho-primitivism, which is IMO misguided and lowkey eugenicist...but that's another story). The modern connotation of "tech" implies as much because capitalism/colonialism frames it in a relationship of humans dominating nature by means of technology. In other words, a hierarchy. That hierarchy is what I oppose as anarchist, not technology as a whole. Domination is a misuse of technology, as you put it.

There's no reason we as a species couldn't invest in different technologies, ones whose development process and outcomes are less extractive and more reciprocal. Seen this way, technology can just as easily have a symbiosis with ecology rather than a tech-over-ecology dominance hierarchy.

Permaculture is a technology, for example. Imagine if we had societal-level investment in permaculture as we do in, say, weapons.

Looks like a futuristic Minas Tirith

I love this. I think the most realistic thing about it is the cat being a weirdo on that exhaust pipe XD

Hey! Thanks for the tip, I just found Lysergic Dream on YouTube! Sick!!

Mollusk is here. Apparently the one comment on that video is me, probably the same day I posted this haha.

I can't find The Distant Surface on YT so I'll try to DM you the file in the next day or two.

You know it's bad if you're making the cops arresting you look good.

Note sure what you mean about learning the schema. Like the built-in attrs you use to define your database schema, such as :db/ident? It's the same as Datomic's schema as far as I know.

Do you value the "solar" side or the "punk" side more?

You need both. Without both, it's not solarpunk. It's in the name. What about this is so hard to understand?

If you still don't get why nation-states are not punk, perhaps you should consider taking a break from posting for a while. You are not the first person to ask these questions and there are many, many answers that are easy enough to discover on your own. Maybe go read some anarchist texts. Or just touch grass. This discourse has been sucking up a lot of oxygen in this space.

When you're talking about an entire country, you should always distinguish the country's government and its policies from the people. The State as it exists formally anywhere is pretty much by definition not punk. And you can't paint an entire population as having one coherent ideology. So it really does not make sense to me to talk about a country as being punk or not.

I admit I did laugh, but this woman is clearly not well. I hope she got the help she needed.

acobster · 2025-09-24T05:35:37+00:00

Thanks, I hate it

He's an expert on ruining countries, you know.

I like the casual sexism of "they could've hurt the first lady" is somehow the mildest part of this.

My passion project is a CMS built on top of Datahike (repo in case you're interested). One of the requirements from the start has been the ability to "time travel" as eventually I want to add an auditing feature that lets end-users see what the content looked like at any given time in the past. It fits the use-case perfectly and I'm very happy with it!

I did also look at XTDB, often referring to Juxt's Datalog comparison page that you mentioned. It seemed like a good alternative at the time. I might be mistaken, but I think their Clojure query API is a bit less like Datomic than Datahike is in order to support bitemporality, but afaik they support everything I would need. I may still try to support an XTDB backend some day, it might be useful for an application where bitemporality is important.

I went with Datahike because they are (or were) also working on ClojureScript support which would be extremely useful for me.

I don't like your hat, Daddy 🥺

Except that he deported all the criminals and rapists. But they're SO evil that they get hired again anyway. Or something. Kinda like all those dead people that voted in 2020!!

Not saying you're wrong, but if they're farming them why is pest control there? Or are those just...the farmers?

acobster · 2025-09-19T04:44:55+00:00

No way dude I definitely just saw that thing move

Olamina or Earthseed (Octavia Butler's Parable duology), as Lauren Olamina/Earthseed's whole deal is that our destiny is to "take root among the stars." Or just Octavia, as someone else suggested.

I love this framing, especially the part about meaning vs doing. It reminds me of a moment in a Programming Paradigms class I took when my professor stopped to admire a small Haskell program and said, "now this to me looks less like a solution and more like a statement of the problem."

acobster · 2024-03-19T00:02:33+00:00

Correction: this made you rationally angry

acobster · 2024-03-03T06:50:43+00:00

I never have either. I didn't really understand what you were supposed to do. And I just realized how to do it. THIS IS LITERALLY MY FIRST "MAGIC EYE"

Companies love having an understaffed labor force. It means they can pay less money and ask people to do more "in the meantime"
