Here's how they plan to do it: https://www.thirdtermproject.com/third-term

> Constitutional Amendment: The U.S. Constitution can be amended by an act of Congress. Republicans must publicly get behind the third-term project.

> Running as Vice President: President Trump can run as Vice President with a space filler as President in 2028. Perhaps Donald Trump Jr. could run on a Trump/Trump ticket before gracefully resigning on Jan. 21, 2028 after securing victory. This plan while unorthodox would show that MAGA cannot be stopped by any procedural rule.

> Supreme Court Ruling: The 22nd Amendment bans anyone from serving two terms in office, but it is not completely clear if that refers to two presidential terms under any circumstances or two consecutive presidential terms. There are legal challenges in the works to clear up the ambiguity regarding the 22nd Amendment. The conservative rule-of-law justices on the Supreme Court would be able to settle this once and for all, making it clear that the 22nd Amendment would allow Trump a third term as it would only be his second consecutive term.

Fluoride was introduced late enough in Zimbabwe that many of my childhood adults easily remembered life before it. There were many horror stories about the general state of teeth prior.

That being said, your dentist can apply fluoride to your teeth (boggles the mind why insurance won't pay the $50), and flouride toothpaste is still much more common than not. It's probably not needed in the water supply for dental purposes.

That being said, what are the other fringe benefits: such as microbe control?
FYI it's a fork of gitea, and like gitea, only a single go binary. Super easy to upgrade. I have been running gitea first and now forgejo under docker. It's literally a 5 minute deal to install once you know how it works.

The technology may be amplifying the effects because that's what technology does but it is not a change to the underlying dynamics.

"The average college student today" is not uniquely lazy or lacking in character. They just have better tools to respond to the same incentives.

I'm not saying it's good - it's clearly an unsustainable trend, but the students are not the ones driving it, so they're not equipped to stop it.

Sometime in 2024 Forgejo became hard fork no longer merging Gitea code so both projects slowly diverge. But i think momentum is on Forgejo side. Codeberg is popular and development seems to be stable and solid.

The happiness feedback from making others happier -- even if just less miserable -- is the most excellent feeling known to man. Once a person tastes it, nothing else will ever compare.

Lovingly serving others' happiness is a part of the asymmetric dynamics of the human universe, only accessible and operant in the world of free will and the ability to learn and manifest right from wrong, love from callous disregard or even cruelty, creation or destruction.

Peace be with you, though I hardly need say that to someone who already understands peace beyond what most can comprehend. Thanks for having your boots on the ground.

Relevant: TIL that Haiti has had 23 constitutions since 1801, with the most recent being enacted in 2012. At least two have declared the country to be an empire. <https://np.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/3t5wzt/til_th...>
Quals are a standard part of graduate school. Many MS-only programs don’t require them, but most PhDs have done them. Quals work great as gatekeepers. But I think they can only work for small cohorts who have already self-selected into a challenging program and fewer students will give into the temptation to cheat (some will still cheat but it’s a lower proportion). Part of the secret sauce toward graduate quals is that most of the time the faculty know who they are going to accept before you even take the test- the test results probably only rarely flip their opinion of their students.

Quals will never be implemented at large in undergraduate mass-market coursework. The need for a placement exam on day one is supposed to be satisfied by prerequisite coursework. The fact that you have to pass a pre-calculus course before starting calculus is enforced by the school. Transfer credit from another school is supposed to be vetted by the registrar. And for the most part it is enforced, but the students still suck. Partly because if you struggled to get a C in pre-calculus then you’re not actually ready for calculus, especially after a couple week break in the summer or winter. Plus, a decent portion of students cheated to pass their pre-calc class. We could easily raise the pre-requisite requirements to a B+ or better, but that won’t actually work. There would be increased pressure to cheat, plus the alumni would stop their donations when their kids are forced to drop out.

The same thing would happen with a qualifying exam on day one. Many kids would cheat, so you’ll still get a bunch of unqualified students in your course. If you somehow managed to keep students from cheating you’d have so many students dropped on lesson two that you would break the school’s course scheduling system every semester. Would those failing students need to take their prerequisite courses again, or should they get to try again on your qualifying exam next semester without any extra courses? Either way is a disaster. The school would absolutely not let this go on for long in any decently sized course.

I don’t know what the answer is. It’s easy to say “just enforce the standards” but if nobody else is doing so then your efforts are wasted and you’ll probably get fired anyway.
You’d have to ban websites with algorithmic feeds as well, like this very site we’re on.

> Reading thousands of lines of someone else's code? I might fall into a more passive mode and miss a problem.

Or just bad design. I use AI a fair amount for my personal work (my employer currently bans it), and what I've found is it's a great accelerant, BUT you have to be super vigilant with it to keep the quality decent. It's very good at producing code that will make it past your average code review but has design issues that are going to make things harder down the road and getting it to refactor these itself can be quite difficult at times. I generally find myself in a loop of asking the AI to do something, doing a few rounds of refinement with it, especially around test cases, then a manual refactor/cleanup pass over the tests, followed by a manual refactor of the code.

When I read accounts of other people gushing over AI, allowing them to do some semi-complicated thing in under an hour, it really makes me worry about how this is going to affect the readability of the average codebase in a few years' time.
Gentrification doesn't reduce segregation, it just moves the boundaries of the segregated areas.

Poor people mostly rent because they can't afford or can't get a mortgage. When an area gentrifies those people are forced out because the rents rise, and wealthy people move in. If you just look at the income distribution in the area it looks like "the population" became wealthier, but if you look at the individuals you find that the old residents have been forced out, and generally wind up poorer because of this (social networks disrupted, work further away etc).
I'm one of those people that doesn't think we should try to "take care of the world". I prefer the older, time tested answer of what to do:

> You should be wise, brave, honest, temperate, and just, uphold tradition, and serve the public interest

As noted in the essay, this idea of "taking care of the world" is relatively new. PG claims it's because only now we can take care of the world, but I think it's just a naive idea that doesn't stand the test of time. I'm sure its not novel idea, and many others had thought of it and tried to implement some version of it in their society. But because it hasn't become cannon in any group or culture, it's a bad idea in that it doesn't produce human flourishing. Whereas ideas around wisdom, bravery, honesty, etc have replicated throughout cultures and led to everything we cherish

The idea is that you cannot take care of the world if you can't take care of yourself. So at first you must be these things. Ironically the most empathetic people I have met that purport to care most about "the world" are often the most dysfunctional people - substance abuse, medications, no strong family ties, anxiety, neuroticism, etc. These aren't people we should try to emulate.

Only when you have your house in order can you attempt to help others. Start with the people immediately around you. People you know and love and that know and love you. If you've ever dealt with a family member with a serious problem, you'll see how difficult for you to help them. Now imagine helping a friend, then casual acquaintance, then stranger finally a stranger on the other side of the world.

We should have humility as to what kind of impact we can have on the world and look inward to those around us where we can have the most impact. Otherwise you might as well wipe out hundreds of thousands of people and spend trillions of dollars spreading democracy in the middle east.

FISA is a special process set up, partly by the Church Committee, in the last 1970s in order to oversee foreign signals intelligence.

I'm thinking for intro just tell the students they are guaranteed a b- if they skip everything. Just acknowledge the transactionalism.

But the entry to the next class level requires a passing grade on the final exam, and DON'T water that down.

And of course, the exorbitant cost of college was unmentioned. These people are buying two new cars a year to go there. That uod the ante on the transactionalism substantially, and colleges everywhere would rather mint b+ degrees for 250k than impose standards
Thinking too concretely about monads as boxes might make the behavior of the ListT monad transformer seem a bit surprising... unless you were already imagining your box as containing Schrodinger's cat.

I can definitely understand the author taking offense to the interaction, but now that a lot more programmers have had some experience with types like Result<T> and Promise<T> in whatever their other favorite typed language with generics is, the box/container metaphors are probably less helpful for those people than just relating the typeclasses to interfaces, and pointing out that algebraic laws are useful for limiting the leakiness of abstractions.
Yeah, this feels like an attempt to (partially preemptively?) rehabilitate his image/legacy more than anything. If he makes a blog saying how important it is to "make good new things", then surely everything he makes is a good new thing! No need to look further to see what he actually supports.

Hard to see how this could be solved, outside of Haiti being "lucky" enough to get one gang leader who defeats the others and tries to establish a stable government.

A serious international intervention is basically a non-starter. Rich countries would be accused of colonialism and sharply criticized for any mistake, other countries in the region don't have the money or force capability, and nobody has a real motivation to pursue such a thankless task. If I remember right, Haitians themselves are pretty iffy on even wanting security provided by foreigners (due to history).
Foucault's pendulum also orbits in one way, but is that generating more power than put into it by starting it off?

As a concept? No. In practice? Also no.

Crypto scammers take millions, private equity takes hundreds of billions. It hollows out entire industries; kills hundreds and hundreds of thousands of jobs. In PE funded nursing homes the mortality rate is 10% higher. PE owned hospitals raise prices by 20-30% while cutting staff.

PE firms pay lower tax rates (carried interest loophole), ie, they steal from everyone. A 2022 ProPublica investigation estimated that tax loopholes exploited by PE cost the U.S. government $180 billion annually in lost tax revenue.

'Dividend recapitalizations' have extracted hundreds of billions from businesses, often leading to their failure.

The estimated economic damage from PE is well over a trillion dollars; and I'd say that's extremely lowballed.

Crypto might be riddled with scammers from top to bottom, but there is real potential there; and even if there wasn't, it still wouldn't have a patch on private equity as far as "sketchiness".

> I wouldn't even put it in the same catagory as traditional lisps since those will compile down to executables and clojure run in the JVM

They "kind of" do. `:executable t` does not actually make an executable in the way most people understand it. It's a big blob with lots of stuff you would expect to be stripped out in other languages. Short of paying several grand for Lispworks, you are not going to make true executables in something like SBCL.

In contrast, Clojure with GraalVM is fairly easy to do and will give you smaller binaries.
